Adjournment o� CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: May 7, 1992 TO: Chairman and Members of the Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Larry J. Henderson, Principal Planner BY: Scott Murphy, Associate Planner SUBJECT: LANDMARK ALTERATION PERMIT 90-05R (THE CROSWELL HOUSE) - LPC CORPORATION - The review of proposed exterior modifications and rehabilitation of the Croswell House, located at 9874 Arrow Route - APN: 208-311-03, 04, 21, and 24. BACKGROUND: On May 3, 1990, the Historic Preservation Commission considered a Landmark Alteration Permit to allow the development of 35 condominium units in conjunction with the preservation of the Croswell House. The Croswell House was proposed to be rehabilitated and utilized as a residential unit within the complex. The house was to be separated from the condominium units by drive aisles on two sides, thereby maintaining the integrity of the single family residence. After reviewing all the information, the Commission approved the Landmark Alteration Permit subject to three conditions: 1 . Prior to the approval of permits to rehabilitate or alter the Croswell House beyond the scope of work proposed with this application, detailed plans shall be submitted to, and approved by, the Historic Preservation Commission. 2. This approval shall expire, unless extended by the Historic Preservation Commission, if the conditions of approval as indicated here have not been completed within 24 months from the date of approval. 3. A 15-foot deep rear yard shall be provided by amending the site plan and the rear yard shall be defined by a hedge. ANALYSIS: During the past year, staff has been working with the applicant on various modifications to the Croswell House. The following summarizes the exterior modifications proposed: 1. A fireplace and chimney are being added to the west side of the living room. The chimney will be plastered to match the building. 2. The west side of the building will be extended three feet at the rear portion of the residence. This will provide additional room for bedrooms, bathrooms, and a washer/dryer area. ITEM A HPC STAFF REPORT LAP 90-05R - CROSWELL HOUSE May 7, 1992 Page 2 3. Window locations and sizes will be modified slightly to correspond to the changes in interior spaces. The existing windows shall be used where possible. New windows shall match existing windows in materials, design, and scale. Trim shall be provided below all windows to match existing conditions. 4. The house will be repainted to match the existing color scheme. 5. A detached, single-car garage is being provided on the west side of the residence. The materials and colors will match the residence. 6. A 15-foot rear yard area will be provided. A hedge will be provided to separate the yard from the drive aisle. In reviewing the submitted plans, staff feels that the alterations proposed will maintain the character of the historic Croswell House. At the same time, the functionality and marketability of the house will be increased to correspond to recent housing trends. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Commission approve the alteration and rehabilitation of the Croswell House through adoption of the attached Resolution which includes the following conditions: 1 . The plaster treatment on the addition area and on window patches shall match the existing plaster treatment. A test panel shall be prepared for Historic Preservation staff's review and approval prior to commencement of the work. 2. Existing windows shall be relocated/re-used where possible. 3. All new windows shall match the existing windows in material, design, and scale. The final plans shall be reviewed and approved by Historic Preservation staff prior to building permit issuance. 4. Wood trim shall be provided below all windows to match existing conditions. Details shall be reviewed and approved by the Historic Preservation staff prior to building permit issuance. 5. The exterior of the house shall be repainted to match the existing color. The color shall be verified by Historic Preservation staff prior to building permit issuance. 6. The alterations and restoration shall be completed prior to release of occupancy for any new condominium unit. 7. Approval shall expire, unless extended by the Historic Preservation Commission, if building permits are not issued within 24 months from the date of approval.

APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 7TH DAY OF MAY 1992. BY: Steven A. Preston, Chairman AYES: COMMISSIONERS: NOES: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: May 7, 1992 TO: Chairman & Members of the Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Larry J. Henderson, AICP, Principal Planner BY: Anthea M. Hartig, Associate Planner SUBJECT: UPDATE ON THE ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM, PHASE I BACKGROUND: Although only twelve histories were funded by the Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation's generous grant, because of the fact that a majority of the interviews were of married couples, we will receive the transcribed memories of twenty-one individuals. Their lives tell us in rich detail the patterns of life from earlier in the century. At the time of this writing, the City's consultants, Mellon and Associates, have concluded all but one of the interviews. During the process, they have compiled a long list of individuals who would be ideal candidates for future phases of the Oral History Program. To date, we have received eleven of the first twelve oral histories. Those interviewed were Art and Mildred Allan, Philo P. Biane, Art and Catherine Bridge, George and Pauline Cherbak, Jim and P.J. Clark, Mary DiAmbrogio, Donald and Charlene Galleano, Bob Hickcox, Levi and Dorothy Hirschler, Don and Dorothy Schowalter, Enrique Vasquez, and Steve Malacara. Staff will have copies of the transcripts available for your review and leisurely perusal at our May meeting. These oral histories will be forwarded to the City Council and are tentatively scheduled for their meeting of June 2,11992. Respectfully submitted, Lar J. Henderson, AICP Principal Planner LJH:AMH/jfs ITEM D f Memorandum CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA DATE: May 7 , 1992 TO: Members of the Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Steve Preston, Chairman �& SUBJECT: MAY 2 , 1992 AGENDA ITEMS I am sorry that I will be missing what promises to be a very interesting HPC meeting Thursday night. Janet and I will be in Washington, D. C. to attend the American Planning Association' s National Planning Conference; I promise to return with anything new that the conference produces on preservation topics . I have reviewed the agenda and wanted to note my thoughts as part of your discussion: 1 - Minutes 4/2/92 Looks great. No chanaes here . 2 - LAP 90-05R I support the staff report with one Croswell House excerption: I do not believe that a 9874 Arrow Route hedge by itself provides adequate privacy for what is presumably a usa- ble rear yard. I would urge that the HPC either (1) include a low wall * behind the hedge or (2) have the hedge grown over a wire fence structure so that the yard. Without some such pro- vision, I would be concerned that the yard could not reasonably protect pets or childrem from the drivewav access. 3 - Integral Public Art I reviewed each of the proposals that for Foothill were delivered with the agenda packet. Marketplace Project My remarks: a - Medallions The design of the first medallian shown seems approo_ riate, but dispenses little information to interpret the site ' s val- ues. The second one shown (Example One) is poorly designed, lacks a historical connection and provides no information of value whatsoever. b - Placement I would like to see !a master site plan developed that shows the interconnection of these artworks and provides a means to move sequentially from one to the next. c - Street Monuments I find these of questionable value; they do nothing to explain the role of these Memorandum 2 Historic Preservation Commission, May 7 , 1992 structures . They appear contrived. I would want to entertain other suggestions for incorporation of the names and images associated with Rancho Cucamonga' s vitri- culture industry. d - Mural I enjoyed all of the mural proposals, but Proposals would suggest that we look at certain prin- ciples in choosing the appropriate art: 1 - The emphasis should be on representa- tional rather than abstract images to convey the message here. This is a particualrly difficult set of historic themes to portray because so little of the actual structures will be remaining. We should therefore use the simplest and most easily recognized means for people to learn about the Italian winemaking community here. 2 - I like the murals that incorporate images similar to those appearing on historic wine labels; they add a "popular" art touch. 3 - I would want to make sure that the works are properly identified, and their re- lationship to the historical issues properly interpreted for the public by signs, brochures, or other means . 4 - I may have missed it, but I didn' t see any provision for long term maintenance of this or the other art works . I hope that some sort of maintenance contract or guarantee is included in the final product. e - Scullbture I have to confess that I could not identify with the welded steel sculpture proposal . I am not sure that this is the medium I would recommend for this situation, but would be interested in hearing what my fellow com- missioners think. Good luck with your discussions Thursday night! I hope my own concerns give you some good food for thought. THURSDAY JULY 2, 1992 7:00 p.m. RANCHO CUCANONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA I.

Adjournment NOTICE OF ADJOIIRN!lENT Notice is hereby given that the Rancho Cucamonga Historic Preservation Commission, at their meeting of May 7, 1992, adjourned said meeting to a joint Historic Preservation Commission/Planning Commission workshop regarding the Old Alta Loma Neighborhood Plan on June 4, 1992, at the hour of 4:00 PM to be held in the Tri-Communities Room of the Rancho Cucamonga City Hall, located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, California. Said adjournment was passed by the following vote: Ayes: BANKS, COOPER, HASKVITZ, SCHMIDT Noes: NONE Absent: BILLINGS, PRESTON Abstain: NONE May 8, 1992 Date Shelley Petrelli, Secretary Historic Preservation Commission INTERPRETIVE ART PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION In accordance with the Historical Preservation Resolution No. 91-86, Foothill Marketplace shall incorporate the familial and architectural past of the Etiwanda area into the architectural design of the Center as an integrated public art form. In this display, we will portray the area's wine-making past in a realistic style that will enhance the Center and capture the interest of the foot traffic at Foothill Marketplace. To achieve this goal, Foothill Marketplace Partners has developed an in-house design team to work in accordance with outside consultants in accomplishing a unique and meaningful art exhibit at the Center. In this submittal package, Foothill Marketplace Partners would like to provide the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Historical Preservation Committee with a report of the progress we have made in accomplishing this objective, and also give a more complete description of our planned designs. During our design review process we have proposed several recommendations to the City for the integrated historical artwork planned for Foothill Marketplace. We initially suggested the placement of historically significant artifacts at key locations in the Center with narrative explanations. Also previously suggested was the stone monument showing the course of Old Route 66, projecting a nostalgic theme of the 1950 's "Get Your Kicks on Route 66" era. We have been redirected by the City to other approaches for our art exhibits. Additionally, we have proposed a footway/cornerstone medallion design that will incorporate various historical scenes along with a narrative depicting important facts and events that have occurred in the Cucamonga/Etiwanda region's past. Our design team, Underwood Planning & Design, is in the final development stages of this plan. To bring the City up to date on the progress being made, we have included various drawings, showing the proposed medallion artwork, the integration of the medallions in the architecture and the locations of key pedestrian focus in which the medallions will be placed. An artist's proposal has been added to this concept. The medallions will be complimented by a framework of mosaic tiles. Also incorporated in this package are the narrative pieces that will accompany each medallion. Another concept of incorporating the pioneering families into the Center is included in this package for your review. We would like to name the access roads throughout the Center after several of the founding families. For example: Guidera Lane and DiCarlo Way. Foothill Marketplace will also be served by a master directory pointing out to the foot traffic the various art forms and their locations in the Center. Also included in this package are several specific proposals from the various artists we have selected through our process of interviews. We have contacted numerous artists through the art departments at Chaffey College, UC Irvine, and USC, along with The Newport Beach and Laguna Beach Art Museums. After presenting each artist with the enclosed Request For Artwork Proposal outlining the scope of work, we have received various packages. Following careful consideration and thought as to the final exhibit we would like to achieve at the Center, we have selected several proposals for submittal to the City. We feel that these works are the best representation of the history of the region, and would greatly enhance the beauty of Foothill Marketplace. We have tried to select different artistic mediums in order to give the City a wide range to work with. These specific concepts are included in greater detail further in this package. i FOOTWAY/CORNERSTONE MEDALLION Foothill Marketplace would like to represent the founding families and the history that surrounds their efforts and struggles in the settling of this region. We feel the wineries, homes and other local artifacts depict this history and provide a tangible connection to the past. It is our goal to present these memories in such a way that will acknowledge the history of the past in a captivating style that will gain the interest of today's public. With this in mind, we have developed the footway/cornerstone medallion design. These medallions will be located at strategic focal points to attract the attention of the foot traffic at the Center. Each emblem will incorporate a historical scene with a narrative portraying important facts and events of the area's past. We have chosen the following short narratives to appear on the various medallions placed around the Center. All the narratives listed below have a direct connection to our site. We feel that these narratives portray significant and realistic features and events that have played an important part of the pioneering of the Cucamonga/Etiwanda region. Narrative #1 The DiCarlo, Schiro, Campanella, Ellean, Columbaro, and Guidera families forged a community based on shared cultural background, faith and way of existence. Narrative #2 In the 1920's and 19301s, the men, women and children of the eastern Cucamonga/southern Etiwanda region pioneered the growing of grapes and the making and selling of wine. Narrative #3 The homes and winery buildings stand as reminders of the thriving family-based viniculture once so prevalent in this area. The houses have been relocated to 9801 Main Street, Rancho Cucamonga. Narrative #4 The Orchard/Meier filling station is linked historically to the small retail wineries in the area and lies beside the most popular thoroughfare of the time, Route 66. Narrative #5 The rise of automobile travel on Route 66 gave way to the parallel development of roadside diners, gas stations, and repair shops. Narrative #6 Wineries, large and modest, composed a thriving majority of the Cucamonga/Etiwanda area's businesses and land uses in the era from 1915-1950. Each medallion will be placed in a unique framework design of mosaic tiles depicting various illustrations of architecture and scenes from the local area. This concept is further explained in the attached proposal "Concept #2" from artist Robert A. Downs. We are also proposing to include these mosaic tiles in the creation of the plaza fountain.

The Center will be located at the intersection of the Interstate 15 and Foothill Boulevard. Anchoring the project, are two very strong retailers; Price Club and Wal-Mart. The remainder of the Center will be occupied by sub-majors, retailers, fast food restaurants and a service station. Foothill Marketplace will have an integrated architectural statement and a variety of landscape to enhance the Shopping Center. The architecture is Spanish Mediterranean/Colonial style featuring plaster walls, tile roofs, decorative columns with stone/tile accents. Canopies and vined trellises will alternate the walkways, and the main entry drives will be lined with palm trees and alternating Chinese Flame trees. The development has included the relocation of two 1920's craftsman style homes. These homes belonged originally to the founding families of the area, and are representations of the architecture and history of the past. As a condition of development of the project, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has required us to exhibit a commissioned piece of artwork incorporating a theme portraying the history of the Cucamonga/Etiwanda area. This piece needs to fulfill the conditions of the Historical Preservation Committee as well as enhance the style of the Center. The main focus of this artwork should depict the heritage and traditions of the pioneering families (incorporating the wineries and other local businesses of the past) . As part of the artist's agreement, we expect him/her to be available to meet with the City Planning Commission and Historical Preservation Committee to present the proposed concept and answer any questions they might have (i.e. : materials, maintenance, etc. ) . The artist is hereby requested to submit to our office by Tuesday, April 21, 1992 a detailed proposal outlining his/her artistic concept and scope of work. If possible, please present rough sketches of project. Include all installation and City presentation costs in total price. Also include a general idea of the time frame involved from start to completion of project. If possible, please include a resume along with a general summary of the style of art you cra.tegorize your work in. Any pictures or copies of your work would be helpful. Foothill Marketplace Partners will select three of the submitted proposals to present to the City on Friday, April 24, 1992 . These choices will be based on the best representation and interpretation of the realistic pas:.. The City will then select the final artist. Exhibits with Elevations for Center are attached. MOSAIC TILE Robert A. Downs This presentation includes two separate concepts. The first, previously explained under the medallion design involves the incorporation of mosaic tiles as a framework for the medallions to be set in. The tiles will also be used in the plaza fountain. The second concept is a mural made up of mosaic tiles. Both designs are created by painting on ceramic tiles and arranging them in a unique and colorful display, depicting various relics and artifacts from the local area.

Artistic Concept Steel . three-dimensional sculpture using fabricated wheels (see sketch) - 4 wheels at base and diminishing in size upward to a height of 10 ' . They will be welded to four steel 3/4" inch solid steel tubes that will be attatched to base of a 31 - z11 thick square of steel plate . Emerging from the wheel structures will be curvelinear steel tubes , again please see rough sketch . In this sculpture I am attempting to assimilate tools used in the wine-making process as well as a vine reaching to the top of the sculpture . Additional found steel wheels and circles could be used as I have these in my studio. The base itself could be attatched to a cast cement bench encircling the sculpture . However I do not have the cost for that at this time . I am more interested in finding out if it could be a workable "idea" . I want to incorporate the idea of making a sculpture that will be visually appealing to people passing through the area and a focal point relative to the history of Rancho Cucamonga . Please see attached sheet with rough sketch and install- ation costs . Thank you. FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE Proposal , page 2 .

I am focusing on horizontal welded steel sections depicting curvilinear forms and geometric forms . The geometry , *.chile urbanized , nonetheless has references to my interest in the interface between the organic and natural world and the constructed man-made environment . The arcs and curves become metaphors for movement in time and space, whether it be the movement of vehicles , ( the use of found car parts ) , or the crest of waves and sand dunes . Joan Julien Grant December 1991 . J O A N J U L I E N G R A N T BIOGRAPHY I was raised in Cornwall Ontario, Canada. As a child 1 was fascinated by drawing. I also loved to collect wood scraps from a neighborhood lumber yard and after painting them or coloring them with wax crayons would assemble them with a liberal application of glue into invented models of rooms on platforms. My interest in art was pursued after I moved to Southern California by study at West Los Angeles College and then the Otis Art Institute of the Parsons School of Design. My work in wood and steel in the graduate program at Otis/Parsons helped inform me of an urban environment suddenly saturated with color, shape and a multiplicity of form. The diversity of Los Angeles architecture, particularly the example of Frank Lloyd Wright, the horizontality of the Southern California landscape, the luminous sunsets, canyons and sky, all took on new meaning. A trip to England, Italy, France and Scotland allowed me to directly experience the Neolithic ruins of Stonehenge and Avebury as well as numerous monuments of Celtic culture. I also visited, at a later date, the classical Mayan city of Uxmal in Yucatan, Mexico. My interest in symbolism typified by the great stone circles, spirals and configurations of these monuments was heightened by my ongoing studies in Jungian philosophy. I have exhibited work in New Orleans, Louisiana, Spain and Dublin, Ireland lin conjunction with the Biannual International Sculpture Conference), in 1988. 1 have exhibited with Los Angeles Visual Arts, 1982, and was selected for "The Magical Mystery Tour" at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery in Barnsdall Park (1982), as well as a group exhibition at "Gensler and Associates, Architects," in Century City. From 1989 to 1990 Century Pacific Investment Corporation in Los Angeles, California hosted a solo exhibition of my work at their corporate headquarters. MURAL Rebecca Guzak A layered mural, depicting the rural atmosphere of the Etiwanda region as well as various illustrations of local specific buildings and families. Portrays the historical wine-making industry and architecture as well as the pioneering and hard work of the families. The mural is done in muted coloring, creating a realistic picture of antiquity.

Second, I propose to paint an overlay in sepia tones of the Guidera and Campanella homes and wineries(the homes and wineries that occupied the actual site at Foothill and Etiwanda),I would paint family members adjacent to the homes from turn of the century photos. On a smaller scale, I would place the Scott family home, with family members, centrally in the composition, because of the daughter Margaret Scott being the first baby born in the Etiwanda Colony. Also theirs was the first home built in Etiwanda. On an even smaller scale I would compose elements of the larger Etiwanda community; the Chaffey Garcia House, Santa Fe Depot, Etiwanda Church, Koch Home, grape pickers, grape haulers, turn of the century graduating classes- etc. Conceptually, I feel that the underpainting of the land is not only beautiful, but will represent the eternal nature of the land. The semi-transparent paint- ings of the early residents of Etiwanda, while honoring the memory and contrib- ution of these pioneers, alludes to the idea that human life is short and tran- sitory. I am contrasting the colorful, beautiful image of nature, with the sepia images of ancestors, historical buildings and other images of daily life at the turn-of-the-century. The sepia ancesteral images fade in and out of the landscape as old memories fade in and out of our minds. I have prepared two paintings and drawing to further expalin my idea. 1. This is a rough painted sketch with the drawn overlay. It is meant to show how this mural will be made up of two distinct elements. The brown overlay is neither exact or completed. I will need more old photographs to finish the diagram. It is simply meant to give an idea of the kinds of images and how they will. be placed over the entire composition. 2. This is a to scale chunk of the mural almost exactly as if you had taken a 1 'xlJ' chunk out of the actual mural. It is meant to give you an idea of how the two layers will integrate visually. The image is a blow-up of part of a eucalyptus tree and Margaret Scott and her family home. I have met with members of the Etiwanda community, especially, Frances Williams, daughter of Margaret Scott;and Frank Vecchio, son-in-law of Mom and Pop Guidera. They have assured me that they will provide the old photographs that I will need to complete this mural if my concept is chosen. COST Total cost would be 29,000.00. This would include paint, supplies, scaffold rental, anti-graffiti glaze. The paint is lightfast and performs well outdoors. TIME Because of the mural being located outdoors, I would prefer a 10 month time frame to complete it. EXAMPLES OF RELATED WORK Although I have provided color xeroxes of my murals at the Courthouse in Rancho Cucamonga, Foothill and Haven, I would suggest that interested parties view these murals in person. The color xeroxes cont quite do justice to the actual paintings.

Each design depicts a phase of the wine-making process from start to finish. This concept portrays the hard work and struggle endured by the pioneering families. The second mural is a unique design for a focal cornerpoint display. This concept displays the vineyards and local environment. Both murals use vivid colors. Artist's resume and concepts follows.

I FEEL THE IMPRESSIONIST STYLE LENDS ITSELF WELL WITH THE HUMP AND BUMP PLASTER TEXTURE OF THE WALL. ALTHOUGH THIS STYLE OF PAINTING IS MORE METHODICAL AND TIME CONSUMING, THE END RESULT WILL BE REMINESENT OF THE "SOUL" OF WINE MAKING: ASTECTICALLY PLEASING, PROVOCATIVE IN TASTE, AND FLAMBOYANT IN CHARACTER. PROPOSAL FOR SITE NUMBER TWO: THE CONCEPT IS AN ILLUSTRATIVE DEPICTION OF A VINEYARD INDIGEOUS TO THE CUCAMONGA AREA WITH THE SAN BERNADINO MOUNTAINS IN THE BACKGROUND.

SHLOSS E OBJECTIVE The objective of this public mural proposal is to represent the family heritage of wine makers and growers which at one time were a great part of the Etiwanda/Cucamunga area. The site of this proposed mural is the outdoor Foothill Marketplace. Two walls have been selected as possible mural locations. These areas would be highly visible, making them perfect locations for public art. (See Elevation Plan) DESCRIPTION I am incorporating a "family toast" signifying a successful harvest. The background encompassing the event will have fields of grapes and the "Cucamunga Fan" which is part of the San Bernadino Mountains. A lattice symbolizing the home and the wine grove is incorporated with the architecture of the times. I have aimed to create festivity, movement and color. ARTIST'S BACKGROUND I have just completed a Mural Commission project in which I painted an interior 4-panel 6'x 16' mural at The Arts Building in Long Beach California. Prior to that I was a Crew Leader for a 10' x 144' mural which I designed and painted in the V.A. hospital in Long Beach California. I currently hold the position of the California State University Long Beach Commission for Arts and Exhibits. My duties include designing curating, and running exhibits for student art work as viell as controlling a budget and commissioning art work. Budget Item Cost 1.

There are several ideal spots for the murals depending on the selected size and concept. We have also questioned the artists as to the maintenance of their piece. All muralists use no maintenance paint that resists weathering and fading. They also suggest an anti-graffiti solution to be painted over the mural upon completion. This allows the graffiti to be easily washed off the picture. The steel sculpture requires no maintenance. It is coated with an anti-rust paint, and weathers very well. ® 0 11 FRONT ELEVATION i Yw1011. KA"I koh"• FRONT ELEVATION CONTINUED ill!

Thank you! Alo - FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE INTERPRETIVE ART PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION In accordance with the Historical Preservation Resolution No. 91-86, Foothill Marketplace shall incorporate the familial and architectural past of the Etiwanda area into the architectural design of the Center as an integrated public art form. In this display, we will portray the area's wine-making past in a realistic style that will enhance the Center and capture the interest of the foot traffic at Foothill Marketplace. To achieve this goal, Foothill Marketplace Partners has developed an in-house design team to work in accordance with outside consultants in accomplishing a unique and meaningful art exhibit at the Center. In this submittal package, Foothill Marketplace Partners would like to provide the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Historical Preservation Committee with a report of the progress we have made in accomplishing this objective, and also give a more complete description of our planned designs. During our design review process we have proposed several recommendations to the City for the integrated historical artwork planned for Foothill Marketplace. We initially suggested the placement of historically significant artifacts at key locations in the Center with narrative explanations. Also previously suggested was the stone monument showing the course of Old Route 66, projecting a nostalgic theme of the 1950 's "Get Your Kicks on Route 66" era. We have been redirected by the City to other approaches for our art exhibits. Additionally, we have proposed a footway/cornerstone medallion design that will incorporate various historical scenes along with a narrative depicting important facts and events that have occurred in the Cucamonga/Etiwanda region's past. Our design team, Underwood Planning & Design, is in the final development stages of this plan. To bring the City up to date on the progress being made, we have included various drawings, showing the proposed medallion artwork, the integration of the medallions in the architecture and the locations of key pedestrian focus in which the medallions will be placed. An artist's proposal has been added to this concept. The medallions will be complimented by a framework of mosaic tiles. Also incorporated in this package are the narrative pieces that will accompany each medallion. Another concept of incorporating the pioneering families into the Center is included in this package for your review. We would like to name the access roads throughout the Center after several of the founding families. For example: Guidera Lane and DiCarlo Way. ti Foothill Marketplace will also be served by a master directory pointing out to the foot traffic the various art forms and their locations in the Center. Also included in this package are several specific proposals from the various artists we have selected through our process of interviews. We have contacted numerous artists through the art departments at Chaffey College, UC Irvine, and USC, along with The Newport Beach and Laguna Beach Art Museums. After presenting each artist with the enclosed Request For Artwork Proposal outlining the scope of work, we have received various packages. Following careful consideration and thought as to the final exhibit we would like to achieve at the Center, we have selected several proposals for submittal to the City. We feel that these works are the best representation of the history of the region, and would greatly enhance the beauty of Foothill Marketplace. We have tried to select different artistic mediums in order to give the City a wide range to work with. These specific concepts are included in greater detail further in this package. FOOTWAY/CORNERSTONE MEDALLION Foothill Marketplace would like to represent the founding families and the history that surrounds their efforts and struggles in the settling of this region. We feel the wineries, homes and other local artifacts depict this history and provide a tangible connection to the past. It is our goal to present these memories in such a way that will acknowledge the history of the past in a captivating style that will gain the interest of today's public. With this in mind, we have developed the footway/cornerstone medallion design. These medallions will be located at strategic focal points to attract the attention of the foot traffic at the Center. Each emblem will incorporate a historical scene with a narrative portraying important facts and events of the area's past. We have chosen the following short narratives to appear on the various medallions placed around the Center. All the narratives listed below have a direct connection to our site. We feel that these narratives portray significant and realistic features and events that have played an important part of the pioneering of the Cucamonga/Etiwanda region. Narrative #1 The DiCarlo, Schiro, Campanella, Ellean, Columbaro, and Guidera families forged a community based on shared cultural background, faith and way of existence. Narrative #2 In the 1920's and 1930 's, the men, women and children of the eastern Cucamonga/southern Etiwanda region pioneered the growing of grapes and the making and selling of wine. Narrative #3 The homes and winery buildings stand as reminders of the thriving family-based viniculture once so prevalent in this area. The houses have been relocated to 9801 Main Street, Rancho Cucamonga. Narrative #4 The Orchard/Meier filling station is linked historically to the small retail wineries in the area and lies beside the most popular thoroughfare of the time, Route 66. M Narrative #5 The rise of automobile travel on Route 66 gave way to the parallel development of roadside diners, gas stations, and repair shops. Narrative #6 Wineries, large and modest, composed a thriving majority of the Cucamonga/Etiwanda area's businesses and land uses in the era from 1915-1950. Each medallion will be placed in a unique framework design of mosaic tiles depicting various illustrations of architecture and scenes from the local area. This concept is further explained in the attached proposal "Concept #2" from artist Robert A. Downs. We are also proposing to include these mosaic tiles in the creation of the plaza fountain. i TYP O O O SLIIDERA RESIDENCE O O O LHE BIOMES AND WINERY BUI LDHNGS STAND AS REMINDERS OF THE THRlVING FAMILY-BASED VINICULTURE ONCE SO PREVELE T IN THIS AREA.

Linda Quinn - Sculpture Suzanna Sheid - Mosaic Tile, Mural i N FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE -REQUEST FOR ARTWORK PROPOSAL- Foothill Marketplace Partners is in the process of developing a 60 acre retail shopping center in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The Center will be located at the intersection of the Interstate 15 and Foothill Boulevard. Anchoring the project, are two very strong retailers; Price Club and Wal-Mart. The remainder of the Center will be occupied by sub-majors, retailers, fast food restaurants and a service station. Foothill Marketplace will have an integrated architectural statement and a variety of landscape to enhance the Shopping Center. The architecture is Spanish Mediterranean/Colonial style featuring plaster walls, tile roofs, decorative columns with stone/tile accents. Canopies and vined trellises will alternate the walkways, and the main entry drives will be lined with palm trees and alternating Chinese Flame trees. The development has included the relocation of two 1920's craftsman style homes. These homes belonged originally to the founding families of the area, and are representations of the architecture and history of the past. As a condition of development of the project, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has required us to exhibit a commissioned piece of artwork incorporating a theme portraying the history of the Cucamonga/Etiwanda area. This piece needs to fulfill the conditions of the Historical Preservation Committee as well as enhance the style of the Center. The main focus of this artwork should depict the heritage and traditions of the pioneering families (incorporating the wineries and other local businesses of the past) . As part of the artist's agreement, we expect him/her to be available to meet with the City Planning Commission and Historical Preservation Committee to present the proposed concept and answer any questions they might have (i.e. : materials, maintenance, etc. ) . The artist is hereby requested to submit to our office by Tuesday, April 21, 1992 a detailed proposal outlining his/her artistic concept and scope of work. If possible, please present rough sketches of project. Include all installation and City presentation costs in total price. Also include a general idea of the time frame involved from start to completion of project. If possible, please include a resume along with a general summary of the style of art you cr:.tegorize your work in. Any pictures or copies of your work would be helpful. Foothill Marketplace Partners will select three of the submitted proposals to present to the City on Friday, April 24, 1992. These choices will be based on the best representation and interpretation of the realistic past. The City will then select the final artist. Exhibits with Elevations for Center are attached. MOSAIC TILE Robert A. Downs This presentation includes two separate concepts. The first, previously explained under the medallion design involves the incorporation of mosaic tiles as a framework for the medallions to be set in. The tiles will also be used in the plaza fountain. The second concept is a mural made up of mosaic tiles. Both designs are created by painting on ceramic tiles and arranging them in a unique and colorful display, depicting various relics and artifacts from the local area. Artist's resume, examples of work and concepts follow. F 290 SOUTH "D" STREET SAN BERNARDINO, CA 92401 [714] BB5-BO70 PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: ROBERT A.

Artistic Concept Steel . three-dimensional sculpture using fabricated wheels (see sketch) - 4 wheels at base and diminishing in size upward to a height of 101 . They will be welded to four steel 3/4" inch solid steel tubes that will be attatched to base of a 3 ' - 2" thick square of steel plate. Emerging from the wheel structures will be curvelinear steel tubes , again please see rough sketch. In this sculpture I am attempting to assimilate tools used in the wine-making process as well as a vine reaching to the top of the sculpture . Additional found steel wheels and circles could be used as I have these in my studio. The base itself could be attatched to a cast cement bench encircling the sculpture . However I do not have the cost for that at this time . I am more interested in finding out if it could be a workable "idea" . I want to incorporate the idea of making a sculpture that will be visually appealing to people passing through the area and a focal point relative to the history of Rancho Cucamonga . Please see attached sheet with rough sketch and install- ation costs . Thank you. FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE Proposal , page 2 .

I am focusine on horizontal welded steel sections depicting curvilinear forms and geometric forms . The geometry , :chile urbanized , nonetheless has references to my interest in the interface between the organic and natural world and the constructed man-made environment . The arcs and curves become metaphors for movement in time and space, whether it be the movement of vehicles , ( the use of found car parts ) , or the crest of waves and sand dunes . Joan Julien Grant December 1991 . J 0 A N J U L I E N G R A N T BIOGRAPHY was raised in Cornwall Ontario, Canada. As a child I was fascinated by drawing. 1 also loved to collect wood scraps from a neighborhood lumber yard and after painting them or coloring them with wax crayons would assemble them with a liberal application of glue into invented models of rooms on platforms. My interest in art was pursued after I moved to Southern California by study at West Los Angeles College and then the Otis Art Institute of the Parsons School of Design. My work in wood and steel in the graduate program at Otis/Parsons helped inform me of an urban environment suddenly saturated with color, shape and a multiplicity of form. The diversity of Los Angeles architecture, particularly the example of Frank Lloyd Wright, the horizontality of the Southern California landscape, the luminous sunsets, canyons and sky, all took on new meaning. A trip to England, Italy, France and Scotland allowed me to directly experience the Neolithic ruins of Stonehenge and Avebury as well as numerous monuments of Celtic culture. I also visited, at a later date, the classical Mayan city of Uxmal in Yucatan, Mexico. My interest in symbolism typified by the great stone circles, spirals and configurations of these monuments was heightened by my ongoing studies in Jungian philosophy. I have exhibited work in New Orleans, Louisiana, Spain and Dublin, Ireland (in conjunction with the Biannual International Sculpture Conference), in 1988. 1 have exhibited with Los Angeles Visual Arts, 1982, and was selected for "The Magical Mystery Tour" at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery in Barnsdall Park (1982), as well as a group exhibition at "Gensler and Associates, Architects," in Century City. From 1989 to 1990 Century Pacific Investment Corporation in Los Angeles, California hosted a solo exhibition of my work at their corporate headquarters. MURAL Rebecca Guzak A layered mural, depicting the rural atmosphere of the Etiwanda region as well as various illustrations of local specific buildings and families. Portrays the historical wine-making industry and architecture as well as the pioneering and hard work of the families. The mural is done in muted coloring, creating a realistic picture of antiquity.

It REBECCA GUZAK APRIL 18, 1992 MURAL PROPOSAL WATTSON ARNO COMPANY, NEWPORT BEACH CONCEPT I envision a mural at the proposed site #1, 20'x4O' , starting with a muted landscape rendition of the countryside of Etiwanda. This would encompass the eucalyptus trees, windrows,meadows and horses; all executed in very soft muted hues of golds, browns, blues, greens, lavendar. Second, I propose to paint an overlay in sepia tones of the Guidera and Campanella homes and wineries(the homes and wineries that occupied the actual site at Foothill and Etiwanda),I would paint family members adjacent to the homes from turn of the century photos. On a smaller scale, I would place the Scott family home, with family members, centrally in the composition, because of the daughter Margaret Scott being the first baby born in the Etiwanda Colony. Also theirs was the first home built in Etiwanda. On an even smaller scale I would compose elements of the larger Etiwanda community; the Chaffey Garcia House, Santa Fe Depot, Etiwanda Church, Koch Home, grape pickers, grape haulers, turn of the century graduating classes- etc. Conceptually, I feel that the underpainting of the land is not only beautiful, but will represent the eternal nature of the land. The semi-transparent paint- ings of the early residents of Etiwanda, while honoring the memory and contrib- ution of these pioneers, alludes to the idea that human life is short and tran- sitory. I am contrasting the colorful, beautiful image of nature, with the sepia images of ancestors, historical buildings and other images of daily life at the turn-of-the-century. The sepia ancesteral images fade in and out of the landscape as old memories fade in and out of our minds. I have prepared two paintings and drawing to further expalin my idea. 1. This is a rough painted sketch with the drawn overlay. It is meant to show how this mural will be made up of two distinct elements. The brown overlay is neither exact or completed. I will need more old photographs to finish the diagram. It is simply meant to give an idea of the kinds of images and how they will be placed over the entire composition. 2. This is a to scale chunk of the mural almost exactly as if you had taken a 1'x12-' chunk out of the actual mural. It is meant to give you an idea of how the two layers will integrate visually. The image is a blow-up of part of a eucalyptus tree and Margaret Scott and her family home. I have met with members of the Etiwanda community, especially, Frances Williams, daughter of Margaret Scott;and Frank Vecchio, son-in-law of Mom and Pop Guidera. They have assured me that they will provide the old photographs that I will. need to complete this mural if my concept is chosen. COST Total cost would be 29,000.00. This would include paint, supplies, scaffold rental, anti-graffiti glaze. The paint is lightfast and performs well outdoors. TIME Because of the mural being located outdoors, I would prefer a 10 month time frame to complete it. EXAMPLES OF RELATED WORK Although I have provided color xeroxes of my murals at the Courthouse in Rancho Cucamonga, Foothill and Haven, I would suggest that interested parties view these murals in person. The color xeroxes cont quite do justice to the actual paintings. One 90' painting is in the main hall and another 40' mural is in the dining area.The dining area mural relates directly to the local his- tory. I also have seven paintings at the new William Keck Science Building on the Claremont MCKenna Campus. Von Marvnz Site.

Now, she makes a living at drawing on walls. , Her most recent project marks the biggest: a 90-foot-long mural in the r courthouse's main lobby at the Foothill Communities Law and Justice Center in Rancho Cucamonga. Installers spent two days last week hanging up the three panels of canvas adorned by painted portraits of people of all ages and ethnicities in the city.

The first is a paneled mural with eight separate designs. Each design depicts a phase of the wine-making process from start to finish. This concept portrays the hard work and struggle endured by the pioneering families. The second mural is a unique design for a focal cornerpoint display. This concept displays the vineyards and local environment. Both murals use vivid colors. Artist's resume and concepts follows.

I CHOSE TO KEEP THE DIFFERENT STAGES SIMPLE, IN ORDER TO REACH EVERYONE, YOUNG AND OLD. I BELIEVE THE STYLE, DESIGN, AND COLOR WILL APPEAL TO THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE WINE PRODUCER; CONNOISSUER, AS WELL AS,THE LAY PERSON. THE MURAL WILL BE PAINTED IN THE STYLE OF THE MODERN IMPRESSIONISTS: IE. CLAUD MONET, AGUSTUS RENIOR, AND SUREAT, TO NAME A FEW. I FEEL THE IMPRESSIONIST STYLE LENDS ITSELF WELL WITH THE HUMP AND BUMP PLASTER TEXTURE OF THE WALL. ALTHOUGH THIS STYLE OF PAINTING IS MORE METHODICAL AND TIME CONSUMING, THE END RESULT WILL BE REMINESENT OF THE "SOUL" OF WINE MAKING: ASTECTICALLY PLEASING, PROVOCATIVE IN TASTE, AND FLAMBOYANT IN CHARACTER. PROPOSAL FOR SITE NUMBER TWO: THE CONCEPT IS AN ILLUSTRATIVE DEPICTION OF A VINEYARD INDIGEOUS TO THE CUCAMONGA AREA WITH THE SAN BERNADINO MOUNTAINS IN THE BACKGROUND. IT IS MY HOPE THE IM2RESSIONIST STYLE OF PAINTING, UNIQUE DESIGN, AND COLOR SELECTION WILL CREATE A CHEERFUL, ROMANTIC ATMOSPHERE THAT WILL BE SHARED BY THE FAMILIES AND PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE VINEYARDS.

SHLOSS OBJECTIVE The objective of this public mural proposal is to represent the family heritage of wine makers and growers which at one time were a great part of the Etiwanda/Cucamunga area. The site of this proposed mural is the outdoor Foothill Marketplace. Two walls have been selected as possible mural locations. These areas would be highly visible, making them perfect locations for public art. (See Elevation Plan) DESCRIPTION I am incorporating a "family toast" signifying a successful harvest. The background encompassing the event will have fields of grapes and the "Cucamunga Fan" which is part of the San Bernadino Mountains. A lattice symbolizing the home and the wine grove is incorporated with the architecture of the times. I have aimed to create festivity, movement and color. ARTIST'S BACKGROUND I have just completed a Mural Commission project in which I painted an interior 4-panel 6'x 16' mural at The Arts Building in Long Beach California. Prior to that I was a Crew Leader for a 10' x 144' mural which I designed and painted in the V.A. hospital in Long Beach California. I currently hold the position of the California State University Long Beach Commission for Arts and Exhibits. My duties include designing curating, and running exhibits for student art work as well as controlling a budget and commissioning art work. Budget Item Cost 1.

There are several ideal spots for the murals depending on the selected size and concept. We have also questioned the artists as to the maintenance of their piece. All muralists use no maintenance paint that resists weathering and fading. They also suggest an anti-graffiti solution to be painted over the mural upon completion. This allows the graffiti to be easily washed off the picture. The steel sculpture requires no maintenance. It is coated with an anti-rust paint, and weathers very well. pis � MWL44- ® al FRONT ELEVATIONjT t r r IF ELEVATION CONTINUED I r r r r r r r REAR ELEVATION r r REAR ELEVATION CONTINUED ® r 777- WEST ELEVATION EAST ELEVATION
