III. NEW BUSINESS
1. DR-95-007, V-95-001, Ingster, 20600 Lomita Avenue
Review of remodel and addition to the Hannah McCarty Vineyard
House which is listed on the Heritage Resource Inventory.
The Commission commended the applicant on the general design
concept but expressed reservations that the project would result in
erasing all of the architecturally significant aspects of the
existing landmark structure. After lengthy discussion, the
Commission moved to forward the following to the Planning
Commission:
1. The HPC supported the general concept of the proposed addition
and interior remodelling.
2. The Commission requested that the "cove rustic" siding be
duplicated, as closely as possible in the new addition.
3. The Commission requested that the proposed dormer windows on the
existing home be eliminated from the design. The Commission felt
strongly that this element was not compatible with the
architectural style of the home and would serve*to eliminate its
historic significance and reduce its value as a Designated
Landmark.
This motion passed 3-2, M/S Ansnes/Peck with Commissioners Dutro
and Peepari objecting.
An additional motion to request a condition that the site be
documented by the Heritage Commission prior to any further
development passed unanimously, M/S Ansnes/Peck.
2. Nomination and Election of Heritage Commission Chair and
Vice-Chair.
After nomination, Commissioner Peepari was elected as the new Chair
and Commissioner Peck was elected as the new Vice-Chair.
IV. ITEMS INITIATED BY THE COMMISSION
For the record, Commissioner Peck commended retiring Commissioner
Davis on her contributions to the Heritage Commission, the
Historical Museum and to local preservation.
