City of Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board meeting, held December 7th, 2021

It
took
extra
time
for
the
steel
houses
and
airport
terminal
because
they're
located
on
tribal
on
the
tribal
reservation.
That's
that
was
the
delay
of
those
two.
We
the
planning,
I'm
sorry,
the
palm
trees.
Modern
committee
plans
on
celebrating
these
listings
in
probably
march
or
april,
and
will
let
you
know
when
and
where,
in
the
coming
weeks.
B
A
A
Yes,
I
would
like
to
it.
Can
I
have
my
camera
turned
on,
let's
see
here
hold
on
there,
we
go
hello,
everybody.
I
know
some
of
you.
My
name
is
brad
dunning,
and
I
am
here
as
a
representative
of
the
palm
springs
preservation
foundation
and
was
many
many
years
ago,
a
board
member
of
your
esteemed
historic
site,
preservation
board
way
back
in
1996
to
about
1999,
I
think,
and
those
were
the
very
dark
ages.
A
One
was
temporarily
used
at
some
point
for
city
council
meetings
and
one
we
think
might
have
been
a
bowling
alley
and
even
used
by
soldiers
under
general
patton
during
world
war
ii
when
they
were
stationed
in
the
area.
We're
still
researching
all
of
this
it
just
this
issue
just
came
to
our
attention
very
recently.
These
buildings
are
remarkably
intact
for
their
age
and
have
survived
relatively
unscathed
for
over
75
years.
A
A
A
A
We
feel
it
would
be
tragic
to
wipe
out
these
historic
and
easily
restored
original
facades
for
such
a
bland
replacement
and
if
things
go
per
protocol,
these
buildings
will
come
before
your
review,
but
the
potential
tragic
loss
of
these
historic
building
facades
which
have
survived
for
decades
deserve
to
live
on.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Hello,
how
are
you
all
doing?
Can
you
guys
hear
me
fine,
okay,
I'm
speaking
and
I
kind
of
my
phone
was
going
in
and
out
when
you
were
talking
about
agenda
items
and
non-agenda
items,
but
I
am
speaking
regarding
the
frank,
bogart
statue
and
being
in
favor
of
removal
of
that.
I
know
it
is
no
longer
on
the
agenda.
B
D
E
Hi
everyone
thank
you
for
having
me
speak.
I
also
am
speaking
on
agenda
item
3a,
the
moving
of
the
frank
bogart
statue
from
in
front
of
city
hall,
and
I
just
I
know
it's
going
to
be
discussed
at
the
next
meeting.
But
I
want
to
remind
everybody
at
this
sport
that
the
city
council
has
issued
their
decision
to
move
the
statue
and
what
I
think
this
board's
responsibility
is
at.
This
point
is
to
figure
out
how
the
statue
moves
where
it
moves
and
how
does
it
maintain?
E
You
know,
follow
the
the
laws
and
ordinances
of
the
state,
but
I
would
urge
the
board
to
consider
that
you
know
the
statue
is
placed
in
front
of
city
hall.
It
was
not
built
when
city
hall
was
built
and
personally
I
don't
feel
that
it
has
a
relationship
as
part
of
the
historic
nature
of
city
hall.
It's
just
placed
in
front
of
the
city
hall
on
the
lawn
on
the
grass.
G
A
G
A
B
D
Yes,
thank
you
trevor.
Just
a
quick
note
on
page
four
six
under
item
four
b.
It
says
staff
member
lying
similar
staff
report
and
then
it
mentions
sean
harris
representing
the
owner.
Just
a
name
collection
is
all
sean's
name
is
spelled
s-h-a-u-n,
not
f-b-a-n,
and
that's
the
only
thing
I've
got.
Thank
you.
B
B
C
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
owners
of
this
property
have
applied
for
historic,
designation
of
their
home,
the
known
as
the
william
purcell
residence
located
at
252
east
ocotillo
drive.
The
building
is
significant
because
of
its
association
with
its
designer
and
architect,
william
gray,
purcell,
who
is
an
internationally
known
architect
and
contemporary
frank,
lloyd
wright,
whose
architectural
commissions
contributed
to
the
development
of
the
american
prairie
school
of
architecture.
It's
the
only
known
commission
by
purcell
that
we
know
of
in
the
coachella
valley.
C
James
venevara
bailly
appears
to
have
purchased
the
lot
and
then,
as
the
home
was
being
completed
in
a
collaboration
between
the
two
of
them.
The
title
was
then
conveyed
over
to
purcell
and
purcell
owned
it
for
a
short
period
of
time
as
an
investment
property,
and
then
it
was
sold
off
several
times
subsequent
to
that.
The
current
owners
purchased
the
home
in
1980.
C
On
page
three
of
your
staff
report,
I
provide
a
bit
of
information
and
background
on
william
gray.
Purcell
purcell
was
a
graduate
of
the
cornell
university
school
of
architecture.
In
a
very
long
time
ago,
in
1903.
he
lived
in
oak
park
and
during
his
early
years
he
had
worked
with
architecture
in
an
architect.
Sorry
in
minneapolis
by
the
name
of
george
fike.
C
C
The
design
of
this
particular
home
is
an
interesting
story
relative
to
mr
purcell.
At
age,
50
purcell
was
a
diagnosed
with
a
severe
case
of
tuberculosis
and
he
came
out
to
banning
california
and
checked
himself
into
a
sanitarium
in
order
to
try
to
recover
from
that
illness
during
the
four
years
that
he
was
there.
He
undertook
the
design
and
construction
of
the
home
on
ocotillo
avenue.
That
is
the
subject
of
your
report.
C
The
property
that
was
developed
here
on
ocotillo
avenue
was
developed,
speculatively
purcell
and
elm
purcell
and
bailey
did
the
home,
assuming
it
would
be
a
rental
property
and,
as
you
saw
in
your
report,
there
was
some
colorful
dialogue
back
and
forth
between
the
two
of
them.
They
paid
an
enormous
amount
of
money
of
400
for
the
lot
and
they
were
struggling
and
struggling
to
keep
a
depression-era
household
construction
budget
under
2
400,
which
is
pretty
remarkable,
but
they
feel,
as
you
saw,
the
notes
there.
C
The
home
is
particularly
unique
in
its
overall
architecture,
in
that
this
really
is
representing,
probably
the
earliest
known
modernist
structure
done
in
a
residence
in
palm
springs,
or
maybe
the
coachella
valley.
The
popular
cabin
has
been
recognized
also
as
one
of
the
earliest
modernist
structures
here
in
the
desert.
It's
no
longer
extent,
and
this
one
appears
to
be
the
oldest
in
palm
springs
in
terms
of
that
particular
style.
C
There's
an
illustration
of
the
home
on
the
bottom
of
page
four
from
the
architectural
drawings
in
which
you
can
see
the
influences
of
the
prairie
style,
aesthetic
in
this,
with
lots
of
long
horizontal
lines
that
are
emphasized
by
a
board
and
batten
type
of
wood
paneling.
On
the
top
of
page
five,
I've
shown
some
details
of
that
board
and
batten
type
of
siding
that
the
current
owner,
charles
and
patricia
stump,
showed
you
during
your
site,
visit
to
the
to
the
home
there.
C
So
going
further
and
beginning
on
page
seven
of
your
staff
report,
we've
begun
the
analysis
of
the
report
and
the
findings,
and
we
believe
that
the
house
qualifies
under
three
of
the
criteria
for
historic
significance,
the
first
being
associated
with
the
lives
of
persons
who
have
made
a
meaningful
contribution
that
being
william
grey
purcell
in
terms
of
his
long
career
in
architecture.
That
is
recognized
at
an
international
level
and
earning
him,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
literally
a
place
side
by
side
with
such
greats
as
frank,
lloyd,
wright
and
louis
sullivan.
C
The
purcell
residence
was
somewhat
unique
also,
and
then
it
was
constructed
of
concrete
masonry
units
with
the
accent
panels
of
wood,
where
most
modest
homes
of
the
depression
era
were
primarily
wood
frame
with
stucco.
So
we're
seeing
a
unique,
different
use
of
material
on
this
particular
house,
and
then
we've
also
identified
it
under
criteria,
five,
that
it
represents
the
work
of
a
master
architect
whose
architectural
genius
has
influenced
his
age
and
possesses
historic.
I'm
sorry,
it
possesses
high
artistic
value.
C
So,
for
those
reasons,
we've
asserted
significance
under
a
individual
person
under
the
period
and
as
the
architect
of
significance,
the
property
is
evaluated
for
the
features
of
integrity,
beginning
on
page
10
of
your
staff
report,
and
I
think
the
biggest
challenge
that
you're
going
to
need
to
consider
on
this
particular
house
is
the
issue
of
design
integrity,
certainly
from
a
quick
view
of
the
home.
When
you
see
the
original
photos
and
I'll
show
you
actually
some
of
these
images
on
my
other
screen
here.
C
C
The
original
exposed,
concrete,
brick
and
wood
have
been
covered
over
with
stucco.
Here
you
begin
to
really
understand
and
see
the
connection
between
the
the
design,
aesthetic
of
this
building
and
the
theories
of
the
exposure
of
natural
material
in
reference
to
the
typical
prairie
school
buildings,
with
strong
horizontality
and
cantilevered
rooms,
and
so
on.
C
C
I
did
not
identify
this
as
one
of
the
issues
of
significance
under
the
criteria
because
it
has
been
covered
up,
and
so
I've
left
that
out,
but
I
did
feel
it
was
distinctive
enough
and
worth
mentioning
the
masking
and
fenestration,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
is
similar.
However,
I
want
to
point
out
if
you
hadn't
noticed
earlier
the
design
and
the
of
the
dining
room
window
here
and
you
see
on
the
left
and
over
here
on
the
right
have
been
changed.
C
They
look
like
they
were
changed
shortly
thereafter,
because
the
type
of
window
here
matches
perfectly
with
the
type
of
window
you
see
elsewhere
in
the
house.
Also,
this
small
piece
of
eve
was
extended
over
that
dining
room
window,
I
believe
by
the
current
owner
here
you
see
some
of
the
issues
in
comparison
of
the
home
and
it's
the.
What
would
basically
be
the
eastern
side
of
the
front
facade
the
original
1934
imagery
on
the
right
and
the
current
image
on
the
left.
C
The
low
garden
wall
that
you
see
in
front
exists
from
the
period
of
significance
as
well,
and
you
will
notice.
I
talked
to
you
in
the
field
over
here
by
the
entrance.
The
current
owner
did
raise
this
projected
eve
slightly
at
the
door,
because
all
of
his
children
were
very
tall
and
it
kept
them
from
bumping
into
their
heads.
C
So
the
historic
significance
again
in
summarizing
person
of
significance
exemplifies
the
period
master
architect
historic
integrity.
We've
talked
about
it
in
terms
of
the
issue
of
design,
and
I've
suggested
that
it
does
retain
sufficient
integrity
that
the
removal
of
the
stucco
would
certainly
strengthen
the
integrity,
as
would
replacing
the
garage
door
and
the
eve
over
the
front
entry.
C
Let
me
see
if
I
can
now
get
back
to
my
regular
screen
there
we
go
and
then
further
as
just
summarizing
and
talking
about
the
issues
under
integrity
which
are
kind
of
interesting
on
this
particular
one.
As
you'll
note
on
page
11,
some
of
these
images
actually
show
the
setting
of
what
this
building
was
in
1934
and,
as
you
can
see,
there
was
almost
nothing
else
in
this
neighborhood.
You
were
really
truly
out
on
the
edge
of
the
city
when
this
thing
was
built.
C
C
Are
the
stucco
exterior
finish
the
front
windows
of
the
garage,
the
wood
front
door,
the
raised
eve
above
the
front
door,
the
additions
on
the
back
of
the
home
and
the
landscaping?
That
concludes
my
staff
report.
The
owner,
I
think,
is
not
here
today
he
was
going
to
possibly
check
in
via
telephone.
I
see
we
have
one
individual
here
with
a
telephone
number.
I
don't
know
if
that's
him
or
not,
but
that
concludes
my
staff
report
and
I'm
available
to
answer
any
other
questions
you
may
have-
and
this
is
a
public
hearing.
C
D
Yeah,
just
one
question
for
staff
regarding
one
of
the
non-contributing
elements
being
the
landscape
and
whether,
if
the
boys
don't
chose,
if
we
could
stipulate
in
our
emotion,
however,
we
do
decide
that
the
old
smoke
tree
out
in
front
of
the
house
could
be
designated
as
part
of
historic
landscape.
One
act.
D
C
C
And
by
the
way,
madam
chair,
I
don't
mean
to
interrupt,
but
I
did
just
notice
that
the
telephone
number
we
have
here
on
the
screen.
6993
are
the
stumps
and
just
mr
stump
or
mrs
thump.
If
you
do
wish
to
speak
at
any
time
here
once
the
public
hearing
is
open,
please
unmute
yourself
and
introduce
yourself
and
you're
welcome
to
speak
good.
C
That
part
was
written
actually
before
I
went
to
the
site
where
he
clarified,
and
maybe
he
can
speak
to
that
issue,
since
he
is
here
with
us.
Okay,
I
I
understood
when
I
first
was
speaking
with
him
that
it
had
been
removed
when
we
were
at
the
site
having
conversations
he
thought
it
might
still
be
under
there.
So
maybe
he
can
clarify
that
for
us
tonight.
C
A
class
one
has
met
both
of
one
or
more
of
the
significance
criteria.
That
being
you
know,
people
events,
persons
and
so
on,
as
well
as
having
meeting
the
findings
for
having
significantly
good
integrity
that
most
of
the
factors
of
integrity
are
present.
That
would
be
class
one.
If
you
have
a
building
that
is
lacking
in
integrity,
then
that
would
be
a
qualification
for
class
2.
B
B
B
C
Well,
I
think
he
can
hear,
but
I
don't
think
he
can
unmute.
Let
me
suggest
this:
let's
let
me
continue
with
that.
I
will
if,
if
they're
able
to
hear
he
can
call
into
my
direct
telephone
number
if
he
wants-
and
I
can
put
him
on
speakerphone
and
we
can-
we
can
resolve
the
communication
issue
in
that
way.
So,
mr
stump,
if
you
are
listening,
my
direct
line
is
760-322.
C
B
B
B
C
C
B
F
So
I'm
pretty
sure
that
that
the
original
is
there,
although
it
was
you
know,
it
was
weathered,
certainly
but
intact,
and
because
I
put
just
just
the
facade
of
stucco
over
the
rest
of
it,
which
was
all
of
the
garage
area
and
otherwise-
and
it
was.
It
was
a
bit
of
a
mistake
when,
on
my
part,
to
cover
the
masonry
with
with
just
a
thin
stucco
coat.
It's
it's
very
thin.
F
It's
just
what
they
call
a
color
coat,
but
it's
all
there
intact
as
it
was,
and
you
can
still
see
the
the
formation
of
the
of
the
rows
of
cement
blocks
and
so
on.
But
and
the
only
other
thing
would
would
have
been
the
the
overhangs
they
were
more
vented
than
they
are
now.
But
when
we
bought
the
house
why
they
had
already
been
enclosed
and
covered
with
some
paneling
other
than
that
everything
I
think
is
quite
in
intact.
Underneath
the
facade.
B
F
Well,
one
of
the
main
things
that
occurs
to
me
is
that
we
needed
to
share
this
history
that
we
had
here.
It
occurred
through
a
series
of
happenstance
and
we
were
we've
been
sitting
on
it
for
quite
a
few
years
because
of
the
the
stucco
I've
thought.
Well,
maybe
it
wouldn't
even
qualify,
but
the
more
I've
talked
to
ken
and
the
more
I've
realized
it
does
res.
B
B
D
D
F
G
G
I
would
certainly
absolutely
support
a
class
two,
but
I'd
like
to
maybe
see
what
the
other
board
members
you
know.
If
you
have
any
concerns
about
the
integrity
I
mean
I
feel,
like
you
know,
so
much
of
the
important
character
defining
features
originally,
you
know
have
been
removed
from
the
building
and
it
certainly
you
know
from
the
street
anyway
contains,
or
it
still
reflects.
You
know
the
massing
and
overall
shape
of
the
building,
but
so
many
of
the
important
features
are
missing
or
covered
up,
and
I'm
also
wondering
ken.
G
G
Yeah,
I
just
think
procedurally,
it's
kind
of
difficult
to
again
when
something's
been
that
altered
to
tell
someone
they
can't
alter
it
again.
I
think
a
class
two
would
certainly
bring
the
attention
to
the
property
that
the
property
owner
had
hoped
to
do,
and
it
might
actually
encourage
a
future
property
owner
to
take
on
the
renovations
and
remove
the
materials.
G
B
A
Yeah,
I'm
I'm
I'm
really
concerned
about.
You
know
the
condition
of
the
house.
I
I
really
thank
the
applicant.
I
I
think
it's
you
know.
We
all
do
this,
because
we're
passionate
about
preservation-
and
you
know
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do-
is
have
policies
that
preclude
people
from
wanting
to
come
in
and
and
protect
great
architecture.
So
it's
you
know
it's
a
slippery
slope,
I'm
really
borderline
even
on
class.
Two.
B
A
A
I
mean
it
just
sort
of
goes
on
and
on,
and
you
know,
our
job
also
is
to
protect
in
the
integrity
of
these
buildings,
and
it's
just
been
so
so
alternate,
and
I
I
don't
I
don't
you
know
you
think
about
some
of
the
others,
houses
that
have
received
class
two
or
or
what
you
know
in
the
past
and
it's
just
not
even
on
the
same
planet.
So
it's
a
little
shocking
that
staff
recommended
class
one.
A
A
D
D
I
understand
all
of
those
comments
and
don't
disagree
with
them
at
all.
However,
I
would
just
like
to
note
that
in
the
staff
report
on
page
13,
it
lists
a
non-contributing
element,
soccer
exterior
finish,
which
arguably
can
be
removed.
It
lifts
the
front
windows
of
the
garage
which
arguably
can
easily
be
removed.
D
D
D
A
lot
of
it
is
just
cosmetic,
so
I've
seen
houses
in
farmer
shape
so
well.
I
don't
disagree
with
previous
comments.
I
do
think
that
just
a
property
that
is
so
important
because
of
its
prominence
and
association
with
william
purcell,
who
was
extremely
important
and
the
fact
that
we
are
still
a
city
that
celebrates
modernism
and
that
has
become
our
golden
egg,
so
to
speak.
D
D
If
because
they
planted
that
smoke
tree
and
they
have
been
there
for
40
plus
years,
you
know
it
might
not
be
the
period
of
significance
so
to
speak,
but
because
they
are
the
longest
associated
with
the
house.
I
think
it's
important
that
that
smoke
tree.
You
know
it
becomes
a
symbol
of
that,
and
it
would
be
great
if
it
could
always
remain
so
that
would
be
my
argument
that
it
should
stay.
B
A
Yeah,
I
just
I
I
respect
mr
nelson's
comments.
I
I
just
would
say
that
I
don't
think
it's
our
job
to
put
on
x-ray
glasses
and
you
know
sort
of
find
where
how
the
house
would
be
if
the
non-contributing
factors
were
removed.
I
don't
think
that's.
I
think
we're
supposed
to
look
at
something
as
presented.
E
Miller
yeah,
I
wanted
to
say
I'm
I'm
very
encouraged
and
very
appreciative
of
mr
and
mrs
stump's
efforts
and
interest
in
bringing
attention
to
their
beautiful
home.
It's
clearly
a
unique
sort
of
animal
in
early
thirties
palm
springs,
and
I,
while
I'm
a
little
dismayed
at
some
of
the
changes
that
have
happened
over
time,
I'm
certainly
supportive
of
class
2
designation,
because
I
think
the
association
with
william
purcell
and
the
the
the
basic
structure
is
there
and
the
uniqueness
of
this
architectural
jam
is
still
very
much
intact.
E
B
A
A
B
D
B
B
C
Yes,
it
is
based
on
the
request
that
came
from
the
november
meeting.
We
have
solicited
for
a
historic
resources
report
to
further
delineate
and
outline
the
historic
character,
defining
features
of
city
of
hall
and
to
characterize
the
condition
and
status
of
the
statue,
and
so
we've
not
been
able
to
get
that
report
completed
yet.
But
we
have
gotten
a
consultant
selected
and
we
hope
to
have
the
report
in
time
for
your
january
meeting.
C
B
B
C
C
The
applicant
is
now
because
it
is
now
a
class
one
historic
site
seeking
a
certificate
of
appropriateness
for
the
proposed
alterations
which
are
summarized
on
the
top
of
page
two
and
I'll,
read
through
them
very
briefly:
they're,
removing
a
non-permitted
fifth
bedroom
located
off
the
northwest
corner
of
the
home,
removing
the
non-permitted
garage
doors
and
wall
that
close,
the
carport,
removing
several
non-original
windows,
they're,
reconstructing
the
backyard
terrace
and
swimming
pool,
which
I'll
describe
further
in
a
moment.
They're.
C
Adding
a
seven
foot
diameter
in
ground,
spa,
they're,
replacing
all
of
the
single
pane
windows
and
sliding
glass
doors
with
thermally,
insulated
windows
and
door
units
which
are
of
a
similar
size,
shape
and
detailing.
As
the
original
windows
repainting,
the
exterior
of
the
home
to
its
original
color
palette,
miscellaneous
other
minor
alterations
that
I'll
describe
shortly
and
redesign
of
the
landscape
to
be
similar
to
the
original
landscape.
C
In
terms
of
the
scope
of
work
that
they're,
considering
that
are
minor
alterations
to
the
original
home
on
the
bottom
of
page,
two,
the
applicant
is
proposing
a
small
roof
deck
to
be
located
on
the
carport
roof
on
the
east
side
of
the
building
that
would
be
accessed
off
the
master
bath.
The
detailing
for
this
proposed
deck
is
shown
in
your
staff
report
and
the
attachments
it's
a
very
discreet
and
very
minimalist
in
its
appearance,
with
stainless
steel
cables
and
vertical
posts
that
are
very
small.
C
So
we've
looked
at
it
as
something
that
certainly
is
an
alteration.
It
is
slightly
visible
from
the
street,
but
we
believe
that
it
is
unobtrusive
enough
and
does
not
materially
impair
any
of
the
character
defining
features
of
the
home.
So
we
were
recommending
approval
on
that
detail.
They're
also
looking
at
an
alternative
to
the
exterior
terrazzo.
If
you
recall,
the
initial
challenge
that
they
had
was
that
they
had
removed
entirely
the
exterior
terrazzo
pool
terrace
without
permits.
C
The
replacement
of
the
pool
surfaces
they're,
proposing
to
put
back
in
the
same
kind
of
original
coping
stones
that
the
original
pool
had
as
well
as
those
that
will
be
around
the
proposed
hot
tub
will
be
done
with
a
similar
traditional
style
coping
stone
so
that
it
is
an
integral
appearance
with
the
existing
pool.
Once
it's
reconstructed,
I
mentioned
the
in-ground
spa.
This
is
on
center
line.
C
With
the
point
of
the
pool,
you
can
see
it
on
the
bottom
of
your
staff
report
on
page
three,
it
adds
a
contemporary
use,
an
enhancement
to
the
home.
Again,
we
felt
at
a
staff
level
that
was
appropriate
in
the
way
that
they
were
bringing
it
forward.
The
historic
archival
material
will
document
that
it
was
not
original,
but
that
it
is
being
done
in
the
material
that
is
sympathetic
and
harmonious
with
the
existing
and
then.
C
The
findings
for
making
an
affirmative
decision
on
a
certificate
of
appropriates
for
this
project
begins
on
the
bottom
of
page
four,
and,
as
we've
reviewed
all
of
this
scope
of
work
in
this
project,
we
do
believe
that
this
scope
has
been
outlined
now
is
appropriate.
It
is
sensitive
to
the
architectural
significance
of
the
home.
The
materials
are
sensitive
to
what
was
there.
C
Originally,
the
removal
of
the
non-permitted
editions
and
enclosure
of
the
carport
are
substantial
and
important
in
terms
of
restoring
the
overall
volume
and
exterior
appearance
of
the
home,
especially
from
the
backyard
which
is
the
primary
outdoor
entertaining
space
for
this
home.
So
we
believe,
in
terms
of
the
findings
necessary
that
this
project
can
be
found
to
be
satisfactory
and
approvable
for
its
certificate
of
appropriateness.
C
The
analysis
of
the
project
under
sequa
is
also
provided
in
your
staff
report.
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
that,
but
we
believe
it
does
conform
with
the
secretary
of
the
interior
standards
as
outlined
in
the
staff
report.
That
concludes
my
staff
report.
I'm
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have,
and
we
have
mr
bernheimer
here
and
that
looks
like
oh
and
we
have
dan
and
paul
here
as
well.
We
can
answer
any
questions
from
the
owner
perspective
that
you
may
have.
B
B
D
C
I'll
take
a
first
stab
at
that,
and
then
the
applicant
can
certainly
speak
further
to
it.
You
might
want
to
note
within
your
packet,
I
believe
it's
on
page
four
of
the
11
by
17s
that
part
of
the
color
palette
that
will
be
used
here
is
a
silver
metallic
paint
that
will
be
a
mounted
that
will
be
placed
on
the
fascia,
and
so
there
actually
will
be
a
silver
like
color
surface
on
the
home
that
the
railings
may
may
tie
in
with.
C
A
B
D
B
D
A
B
B
B
The
staff
recommendation
is
to
receive
the
report
and
direct
staff
to
schedule,
site
visits
and
a
public
hearing
to
consider
this
application.
May
I
have
a
motion
to
that
effect?
I
so
move
okay.
I
have
okay.
I
have
a
motion
by
member
hanson
in
a
second
by
rose.
Is
there
any
discussion
thing
then?
I
call
for
the
question
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye.
B
C
B
C
Okay,
so,
as
your
staff
report
notes,
the
las
palmas
business
historic
district
was
established
in
1986.,
it
was
our
first
designated
historic
district
over
time.
The
the
file
was
literally
lost
and
discovered
again
in
the
early
2000s,
and
at
that
time
it
was
re-examined
by
the
board
and
staff
series
of
recommendations
made,
but
it
was
not
carried
forward.
We
have
since
had
two
substantial
ordinance
revisions
made
the
one
in
2019
and
the
one
in
2020,
and
so
I've
decided
to
bring
this
forward
for
you.
C
I
would
like
to
see
us
move
the
las
palmas,
business,
historic
district
as
a
historic
district
into
a
stronger
and
more
contemporary
category
of
historic
districts,
where
it's
representing
and
complying
with
what
our
current
ordinances
are
and
I'll
go
into
that
a
little
bit
as
I
review
this
so
on
page.
Two
of
your
staff
report
is
the
existing
boundaries,
as
established
in
1986
for
the
las
palmas
business
historic
district.
There
are
49
parcels
of
those.
C
One.
There
is
no
identified
period
of
significance.
There
is
no
identified
context,
statement
or
statement
of
significance.
Less
than
one-third
of
the
parcels
in
the
current
district
boundaries
are
designated
as
contributing
significant
mid-century
properties
in
the
district
should
be
added
to
the
contributing
list.
Certain
properties
that
are
listed
as
contributing
should
be
removed.
C
C
So
the
proposed
I'm
going
to
take
this
kind
of
block
by
block
and
ask
you
to
review
these
things,
and-
and
I
have
a
recommendation
for
you
on
each
of
them
summarized
on
page
four.
The
los
palmas,
business
historic
district
is
comprised
of
a
disparate
collection
of
small
one
and
two-story
commercial
buildings
of
varying
architectural
styles.
The
business
district
developed
over
several
decades
with
most
of
the
buildings
being
constructed
between
the
1920s
through
the
1960s.
C
So
my
first
recommendation
adopt
the
following
statement
for
the
los
palmas
business,
historic
district,
that
the
context
is
that
the
las
palmas
business
historic
district
developed
over
several
decades
from
the
20s
to
the
60s.
It
contains
noteworthy
buildings
designed
in
a
variety
of
architectural
styles,
reflecting
the
evolution
of
prevailing
architectural
taste
from
traditional
revival.
Styles
to
modern.
C
Its
significance
lies
in
its
ability
to
reflect
this
evolutionary
period
in
the
commercial
development
along
the
city's
principal
commercial
corridor
as
the
city
rapidly
expanded
beyond
the
original
small
village
core
and
and
madam
chair,
I
will
whatever
way
you
want
to
consider
digesting
these
things.
I
thought
perhaps
we
can
read
through
these
all
and
then,
if
you
want
to
take
them
on
one
by
one
or
I
can
or
you
may
make
act
on
these
various
recommendations
as
we
go,
do
you
have
a
preference.
C
B
D
D
B
C
B
C
Although
several
large
tracts
of
land
north
of
the
small
village
center
were
subdivided
for
residential
development
in
the
1920s
other
than
francis
stevens
school
in
the
el
mirador
hotel
and
garage,
only
scattered
residential
development
existed
in
the
vicinity
of
the
los
palmas
business.
Historic
district,
the
30s
through
the
50s,
saw
the
greatest
concentration
of
new
commercial
construction
since
roughly
1969
the
development
in
the
district
has
been
mostly
infill.
B
D
C
Pursuant
to
our
current
ordinance,
a
historic
district
must
contain
contributing
resources
on
a
majority
of
sites
within
the
district.
It
may
include
non-contributing
properties
only
to
the
extent
necessary
to
establish
appropriate
logical
or
convenient
boundaries
in
terms
of
evaluating
integrity.
I
have
a
quote
here
that
I've
lifted
from
the
national
register.
C
A
property
must
retain
key
exterior
materials
dating
from
the
period
of
its
historic
significance.
If
the
property
is
being
rehabilitated,
the
historic
materials
and
significant
features
must
have
been
preserved.
The
property
must
look
and
excuse
me,
the
property
must
be
an
actual
historic
resource,
not
a
recreation.
A
recent
structure,
fabricated
to
look
historic
is
not
eligible.
Likewise,
a
property
whose
historic
features
and
materials
have
been
lost
and
reconstructed
is
usually
not
eligible.
C
So
this
is
a
the
tough
meet
of
this
particular
project.
I
am
recommending
that
the
following
11
properties
retain
their
contributing
classification,
that
being
and
I'm
going
to
refer
to
these
by
their
common
names,
because
I
think
most
of
you
know
them
more
by
their
common
names.
The
de
anza
hotel,
the
harlow
haven
hotel.
C
Those
buildings
are
as
follows:
these
are
the
ones
that
I'm
proposing
be
moved
from
non-contributing
to
contributing
that
would
be
beginning
with
the
backstrom
reed
building
the
henry
reed
clinic,
which
is
jake's.
Currently
the
dollard
building
the
toronay
building
the
clark
and
frey
office
building
and
the
nichols
building
are
any
of
you.
I
mean
we
have
a
couple
of
new
members
here,
but
are
any
of
you
not
familiar
with
these
buildings
by
their
common
name?
Do
I
need
to
further
describe
what
we're
talking
about?
C
These
include
the
conklin
residents,
the
schwartz
residents
and
the
cushman
residents
part
4,
retaining
the
non-contributing
classifications
for
the
following
10
properties.
These
are
properties
that
are
currently
non-contributing
and
I'm
recommending
that
they
stay
that
way.
That
would
be
the
chaney
apartments,
the
building
in
which
berba
is
located.
C
The
building
in
which
cheeky's
is
located,
which
is
a
portion
of
the
old
reed
clinic
the
security
pacific
bank,
which
is
750
north
palm
canyon,
the
samson
curtis
building.
This
is
the
one-story
building
immediately
south
of
the
coker
sampson
building
the
el
paseo
market,
the
samsarian
plumbing
building
the
parking
lot,
that's
adjacent
to
that.
The
crawford
apartments
or
village
inn
and
882
888,
north
palm
canyon
drive,
which
is
a
nondescript
retail
building.
C
Those
are
ones
that
are
non-contributing
that
I'm
recommending
stay
non-contributing
the
following.
Now,
I'm
on
to
the
next
one,
I'm
in
the
middle
of
page
six,
changing
the
following
three
properties
from
contributing
to
non-contributing,
because
they
have
been
significantly
altered,
such
that
they
no
longer
convey
the
historic
significance
relative
to
the
context
of
the
district.
D
C
Okay,
so
part
six,
there
are
15
non-contributing
buildings
around
the
periphery
of
the
current
district.
This
is
an
important
component,
because,
in
order
to
get
us
to
a
majority
number
of
sites
is
contributing.
We
really
need
to
remove
some
of
these
non-contributing
sites
to
get
the
numbers
better,
balanced
and
so
quickly
I'll
review
these.
It
is
the
turner
residence,
the
villas
at
the
movie
colony,
the
current
building,
in
which
copley's
restaurant
is
located.
C
The
delhi
mo
lodge
apartments.
The
ambassador
hotel
also
currently
known
as
the
triada
the
hollow
well
building
the
adolf
israel
building
the
san
jose
hotel,
also
known
as
the
movie
colony
hotel,
777
north
palm
canyon
drive,
which
is
a
mixed
use.
Building
803
north
palm
canyon
drive,
which
is
a
newer
condominium,
retail
building,
8
49,
which
is
the
old
u.s
post
office,
building
860
north
indian,
which
is
an
apartment,
complex
861-865,
the
culver
nichols
realty
office
and
rc
mori
medical
office,
and
the
last
one
is
888.
C
North
palm
canyon,
north
indian
canyon,
drive
currently
known
as
the
barefoot
inn.
In
summary,
these
changes
will
improve
the
percentage
of
contributing
properties
in
the
district.
They
will
strengthen
the
commercial
theme
and
they
will
add
important
post-war
commercial
buildings
that
were
not
considered
in
the
establishment
of
the
district
in
1986.
G
D
D
I
would
argue
that
a
and
b,
the
first
one
being
referred
to
as
the
henry
reed
clinic
and
today
known
as
interior,
illusion
just
north
of
the
restaurant
treaty,
I
would
argue
that
it
still
retains
more
than
sufficient.
Excuse
me
more
than
sufficient
historic
integrity,
adrenal
massing
of
the
building
and
the
way
it
presents
to
the
street
is
exactly
well
very
similar
to
the
way
it
was
when
it
was
built,
the
main
difference
being
that
part
of
an
overhang
was
cut
off.
D
A
circular
driver
was
removed
to
allow
pedestrian
access
to
go
along
the
street
and
also
a
red
tile.
Roof
was
removed
so
other
than
those.
It
still
appears
very
much
in
the
same
configuration
it
represents
being
more
modern
now
than
spanish,
but
our
red
tile
roof
could
always
be
put
back
on
the
building.
D
So
I
would
agree
that
can
be
taken
back
how
it
appeared
back
then,
and
if
you
look
at
the
before
butter
and
compare
it
with
today,
the
changes
really
are
not
that
dramatic
or
significant
to
the
point
that,
in
my
opinion,
it's
no
longer
significant
item.
6L,
which
is
849.,
northbound
canyon
drive
the
side
of
the
restaurant
849..
D
That
was
originally
the
first
post
office
in
town.
The
architects
were
victor
gruen
and
associates
for
the
record
and
that
front
facade
still
presents
almost
original.
I
would
say
90
or
more
of
that
front.
Facade
is
still
there,
including
the
entry
step
to
the
building
granted.
You
know
the
insider
changed.
D
The
use
has
changed,
but
when
I
get
my
tours
of
the
uptown
divine
district,
my
walking
tours
people
always
marvel
at
that
facade
of
the
post
office
and
I
show
them
the
before
photo
from
when
it
was
built
and
they
can
still
see
it,
they
see
it
all
and
they
just
they
just
think.
It's
wonderful
and
I
feel
that
it
is
more
of
a
contributor
than
a
non-contributor
again,
my
own
personal
opinion,
and
then
finally,
I
think
it's
worth
mentioning
the
item.
D
6-0,
the
very
last
one
in
a
summary
of
the
properties
888
north
palm
canyon.
Excuse
me,
888,
north
indian
canyon
drive,
the
research
was
able
to
conclusively
find
the
year
it
was
built
and
the
year
was
1955
and
according
to
local
historian,
stephen
keylon,
it
was
designed
by
local
architecture
w
burns.
I
take
that
backbone
was
not
an
architect.
He
was
a
designer,
but
nevertheless
just
as
important
and
it
was
built
as
the
starlighter
f-t-a-r-l-I-t-e-r,
not
the
conventional
spelling
and
the
starlight
moon
spelled.
D
F-T-A-R-L-I-T-E
was
a
big
deal
at
the
treachery
club
and
I
think
that
this
name
may
have
derived
from
the
starlight
movement,
but
it
also
fits
you
know
with
the
litany
of
names
that
bones
had
for,
if
places
around
town,
which
was
just
great
like
the
town
and
desert
and
the
village
manor
and
the
desert
hoe
and
still
kind
of
fits
in
with
all
those
it
was
built
by
a
mother,
daughter,
phoebe,
keeler
and
her
daughter
are
bernice,
so
they
were
building
contractor
mother-daughter
team.
So
that's
pretty
cool.
D
You
know
definitely
as
in
history.
So
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
I
don't
disagree
that
it
has
been
heavily
altered
that
last
one
fixed,
but
I
just
wanted
everyone
to
be
aware
of
the
history
on
that
and
then
just
finally
one
comment.
Originally,
we
have
49
properties
and
it's
just
as
deemed
in
1986,
and
some
of
these
buildings
I
have
mentioned
were
in
their
present
condition
in
1986.,
so
they
had
already
been
altered
or
had
retired
roof
removed.
D
So
I
mean
that
is
half
of
historic
preservation
of
the
people,
and
you
know
the
people
who
created
the
place
and
so
forth.
But
this
whole
plan
is
reducing
this
district
by
a
total
of
20
properties,
and
that's
just
pretty
major.
I
I
see
that
we're
removing
things
and
we're
adding
things,
and
I
love
the
things
that
we're
adding.
D
I
think
they
are
so
instrumental
and
so
crucial,
especially
the
backstrom
rebuilding,
which
should
be
noted
with
by
harold,
drew,
and
that
has
been
confirmed
by
maria
verstappen,
who
works
between
a
turk.
Her
husband's
father
was
her
alarm,
george
rescue
and
he
has
his
papers
and
it
confirmed
that
he
is
in
fact
the
actual
designer
of
that
building,
not
how
it's
laughing.
B
A
E
Yeah
just
a
couple
of
I
guess
more
or
less
typos
or
housekeeping
items.
We
went
over
what
I
what
is
noted
in
the
staff
report,
as
recommendation
four-
and
I
I
may
I
don't
think
I'm
I've
missed
recommendation
three.
So
I
think
did
that
four.
Should
that
four
be
a
three
yes
and
then
I
kept
looking
for
recommendation
three,
but
I
I
only
remember
voting
on
two
amendments
so
far
so
and.
E
E
Okay,
all
right
that
makes
sense,
and
then
the
only
other
sort
of
housekeeping
item
I
have
would
be
on
the
exhibit
on
the
exhibit
a
and
on
the
vicinity.
Map
spell
check,
wasn't
working
on
the
word
existing,
so
just
make
make
a
note
of
that
that
the
word
existing
is
misspelled
several
times.
Thank
you.
E
G
B
G
You're
on
mute,
sorry
dead,
unmuted.
Sorry,
I
just
have
a
general
comment
on
you
know
the
the
whole
process
and
looking
at
something
from
a
1989
preservation
perspective
to
a
2021,
and
I
think
you
know
there
was
probably
much
less
professional
expertise
around
deciding
what
was
and
was
what
wasn't
a
contributor
and,
of
course,
that's
going
to
account
for
some
changes
in
what's
contributing
and
non-contributing,
and
I
I'm
just
sort
of
responding
to
board
member
nelson.
B
D
D
I
have
the
utmost
respect
for
staff
and
they
know
that,
and
I
don't
discount
any
of
the
work
that
they
do.
It's
extremely
valuable
and
I
do
know
that
everything
that
was
done
in
this
district
work
was
done
by
today's
standards,
and
I
do
know
that
things
today
are
very
different
from
1986
when
this
was
first
put
together
and
I'm
incredibly
cognitive
and
respectful
of
that.
I
guess
I
would
just
get
stopped
at
any
feedback
to
anything
that
I
brought
up
or
mentioned
before.
We
take
a
final
vote
on
this.
B
C
C
So
its
original
construction
was
that
of
a
house.
And,
yes,
you
could
look
at
a
club
use
as
something
that
could
be
considered
within
the
commercial
nature
of
a
particular
commercial
area.
But
I
worked
with
this
based
on
the
fact
that
it
was
a
house,
and
I
think
that
it's
it's
very
long
use
as
a
club
can
be
recognized
and
distinguished
as
a
standalone
class,
one
site,
which
is
what
I'm
recommending
and
the
reason
that
I
would
assert.
That
is
again.
C
C
The
read
clinic
includes
this
building,
and
it
also
includes
what
is
currently
known
as
the
alcazar
hotel
and
at
some
point
in
the
past.
Those
two
properties
were
subdivided
and
if
you
look
at
the
aerial
photo,
you
can
actually
see
there's
a
great
big
new,
concrete
masonry
firewall
that
separates
this
building
from
the
main
hotel.
C
So,
however,
ownership
machinations
have
changed.
It's
interesting
to
note
that
at
one
point
they
were
all
part
of
the
henry
reed
clinic.
My
recommendation
on
this
is
not
contributing
was
really
based
on
the
the
comments
that
you
you
made
that
you
know
the
building
has
a
certain
shape
that
still
reflects
its
volumetric
composition
when
it
was
built,
but
in
looking
at
it
in
its
present
day,
state
with
the
canopies
removed
and
the
clay
tile
removed
and
so
on.
C
I
I
felt
like
it
had
really
kind
of
lost
its
historic
integrity
in
terms
of
the
architecture
of
it
anyways.
I'm
I'm
not
strongly.
I'm
not
strongly.
I'm
not
strong
in
my
position
on
this
one.
If
the
board
wants
to
move
it
over
to
be
contributing,
I'm
not
going
to
argue
with
you
on
that,
but
my
feeling
in
its
current
state
is
that
it's
been
pretty
heavily
altered
with
respect
to
the
849
building,
I
was
looking
at.
C
C
C
B
C
Frey's
work,
it
does
not
necessarily
demonstrate
his
modernist
theories
of
architecture
or
his
use
of
utilitarian
materials,
like
you
see
in
the
fray
house
ii
or
in
the
yacht
club
building
down
at
the
south
of
the
sea.
So
I
did
not
look
at
this
building
as
a
particularly
notable
example
of
the
work
of
albert
frey
and
because
of
its
modifications,
I
recommended
that
it
not
be
included.
C
With
respect
to
the
building
at
888,
north
indian
canyon
drive,
which
is
currently
the
barefoot
inn
again,
I
looked
at
this
building
and
I
felt
like
it
had
been
so
so
heavily
altered
and
modified.
You
know
the
the
burns.
Signature
features
that
we
all
celebrate
are
gone.
There's
nothing
about
this
building
that
would
inform
you
that
it's
a
burns
design
and
it's
unlikely
that
you're
gonna
see
you
know
if
you
go
back
and
look
at
when
it
was
it
was
prior
to
this
building.
It
was
the
morningside
in.
C
D
B
Thank
you
for
this
valuable
discussion
really
really
enhances
all
of
the
points
everyone's
made.
Are
there
any
other
comments
or
discussion
points?
Anything
okay?
Well,
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
by
kaiser
with
the
second
by
miller,
to
approve
the
recommendations
in
the
staff
report
to
complete
the
processing
of
the
amendment.
B
C
And
the
last
item
in
your
evaluation
is
the
boundaries,
and
there
is
a
I'm
digging
here
in
my
paper.
I
can't
find
it,
but
in
your
paper
there
is
one
that
shows
the
current
boundaries
and
then
there's
one
that
shows
the
proposed
boundaries
and
I'm
recommending
in
what
I've
listed
as
recommendation
number
five,
which
is
actually
recommendation
number
four
to
amend
the
boundaries,
as
shown
on
that
exhibit.
D
D
C
D
C
D
B
G
B
C
B
Thank
you
well,
that
was,
it
was
pretty
complicated
and
quite
layered,
so
and
thanks
vice
chair
nelson
for
for
helping
us
understand
those
points
that
you
made
as
well.
So
thank
you
very
much
now.
Let's
proceed
to
agenda
discussion,
item
5a
and
it
has
to
do
with
our
2022
preservation
matters
symposium
and
happy
to
report
that
the
subcommittee
for
the
symposium
and
the
tours
has
been
meeting
regularly.
B
B
D
B
B
C
Yep
I'll
make
this
very
brief.
As
I
mentioned
to
you.
In
the
last
month,
we
did
receive
a
certificate
of
appropriateness,
application
from
the
bank
of
america,
which
is
city
national
bank,
588,
south
from
canyon,
drive
the
matter
that
I
wanted
to
bring
before
you.
This
is
going
to
be
a
staff
level
hbo
approval
on
this,
because
the
scope
of
it
is
characterized
as
a
minor,
but
this
particular
detail,
which
is
the
a
revision
on
the
privacy
screen
at
the
outdoor
automatic
teller
machines
in
your
staff
report.
C
I
do
want
to
share
with
you.
I
received
a
letter
of
public
comment
on
this
particular
item,
in
which
a
user
of
the
bank
suggested
that
the
screen
be
open
at
the
bottom
you'll
note
on
the
drawings
that
I
had
shown
you
here.
The
screen
goes
from
the
concrete
floor
up
to
about
the
top
of
the
atm,
and
when
you
look
at
the
existing
one,
you
can
see
that
that's
kind
of
open
on
the
bottom
and
this
particular
person
who
is
a
member
of
the
bank,
got
their
account.
C
There
suggested
that
that
opening
is
important
because
it
helps
a
person
at
the
atm
machine
sense
whether
there's
somebody
on
the
other
side
of
the
screen.
So
I
will
be
forwarding
that
information
on
to
the
bank
representatives
with
noting
that
that
was
a
suggestion
from
a
member
of
the
community.
But
I
wanted
to
share
this
with
you
give
any
comments.
You
may
have
there's
a
couple
of
more
details
on
the
building
that
I'm
still
waiting
for
them
to
bring
back
in
the
form
of
some
landscape
stuff.
C
B
D
You
know
someone
comes
up
to
you
and
tries
to
grab
your
money
from
you
or
whatever,
but
also
in
palm
springs.
My
biggest
concern
I
actually
relate,
I
think,
to
the
homeless,
which
has
become
such
a
problem.
Unfortunately,
walking
down
palm
canyon
drive
yesterday
right
in
the
heart
of
downtown
in
front
of
the
new
starbucks.
D
D
They
find
these
little
spaces
where
you
know
they
can
be
in
a
corner
or
behind
the
screen
and
they
just
take
over
until
someone
comes
along
and
forces
them
to
move.
So
I
worry
about
that.
So
I
can
see
why
they
had
an
opening
at
the
bottom
of
the
old
one.
It's
actually
pretty
smart
also
prevent
trash
or
debris
from
accumulating.
D
D
E
Yeah
both
vice
chair
nelson's
comments
and
the
comment
that
staff
member
lion
had
received
are
in
line
with
what
I
was
thinking.
There
needs
to
be
some
scepted.
You
know
crime
prevention
through
environmental
design,
sort
of
analysis,
kind
of
applied
to
this,
and
there
are
standards
for
atms
and
a
couple
of
those
would
be.
E
The
bottom
would
be
open
and
I
would
say
to
a
minimum
of
three
feet
at
least
from
the
ground:
up
should
be
open,
except
for
the
necessary
structural
supports
and
then,
as
a
member
nelson
said,
let
cut
that
screen
back
because
it
seems
to
be
a
little
excessive
and
would
create
somewhat
of
an
uncomfortable
and
unsort
of
unknown
feeling
for
some
someone
using
that
atm,
as
well
as
the
the
whole
homeless
issue.
So
with
those
comments,
I'm
fine
with
this,
but.
C
A
C
I
I
think
your
comments
tonight
are
excellent
comments
and
I
will
convey
those
on
to
the
bank
as
well.
The
last
thing
I
just
want
to
mention
is
related
to
this
building.
Also,
there
is
a
project
that
is
being
moved
forward.
The
city
council
apparently
made
a
preliminary
approval
on,
which
is
to
convert
that
intersection.
C
That's
just
south
of
the
city,
national
bank,
building
to
a
roundabout
right
traffic
circle,
and
so
it's
a
very
interesting
project.
It
will
be
our
first
traffic
circle
here
in
palm
springs,
and
so
I've
seen
some
early
designs
on
it
I'll
be
working
with
the
bank
to
also
coordinate
the
landscaping
on
that
project
with
the
bank's
landscaping,
which
is
going
to
be
pretty
simple
but
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
about
that.
It's
kind
of
an
exciting
first
for
palm
springs.
B
D
Yeah
just
a
couple
of
things,
because
this
is
the
time
when
we
usually
bring
these
things
up,
and
I
will
just
preface
to
practice
these
comments
by
saying.
If
staff
could
report
back
at
the
next
meeting
on
these
things,
I
would
really
appreciate
it.
I
know
your
time
is
valuable,
but
these
are
important.
The
first
is
our
lady
of
guadalupe,
which
is
the
craftsman
historic
site.
There's
a
church
on
alejo
road,
just
west
to
palm
canyon
drive
it's
been
missing
as
plaque,
it's
historic
market
for
quite
some
time.
D
It
also
does
not
have
its
original
statues
of
christ
in
the
virgin
mary
on
either
side
of
the
door
that
were
originally
white,
alabaster
or
marble
and
they've
since
been
replaced
by
painted
plaster
figurines,
which
seemed
to
change
and
right
now
they
look
really
horrible
and
some
of
the
tile
there
was
some
porcelain
tile
that
was
added
to
the
front
bottom
of
the
facade
many
years
ago.
Without
permission,
some
of
that
has
been
removed,
revealing
the
original,
pink
plaster
facade
and
it
looks
bad.
D
D
450,
east
palm
canyon,
yes,
okay
and
then
the
final
one
is
1100.
South
palm
canyon
drive,
which
I
believe
is
the
corner:
palm
canyon
and
palo
verde
and
this
board
or
not
this
board.
But
the
hspb
approved
that
site
for
demolition
years
ago,
and
it
was
a
former
union
service
station
in
the
1940s,
and
I
see
that
there's
some
remodeling
going
on
there
that
the
building
in
fact
has
not
been
demolished.
D
B
B
C
A
I've
got
just
a
couple
of
quick
things
because
vice
chair
nelson
brought
up
the
issue
of
the
smoke
tree
earlier.
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
the
planning,
commission
and
sustainability
commission
are
going
to
put
together
a
subcommittee
to
work
on
tree
preservation
in
the
city
of
palm
springs,
so
one
way
or
another
that
smoke
tree
might
be
saved.
A
We
do
have
the
historic
preservation
officer
position
posted.
Unfortunately,
we
have
not
received
applications
that
quite
meet
our
standards
in
terms
of
credentials,
yet
we
are
extending
the
position
to
december
the
20th
if
anyone
has
training
both
in
historic
preservation
and
planning-
and
I
realize
that
those
are
two
rather
specialized
fields.
We
would
certainly
welcome
any
applicants
about
training
in
both
of
those
areas.
A
I
know
member
hanson,
you
have
worked
for
municipal
governments
in
the
field
of
preservation,
mr
miller,
you
also
have
worked
in
municipal
government
and
may
know
individuals
who
may
be
qualified,
so
please
let
people
know
that
that
position
is
open
through
december,
the
20th.
That
concludes
my
comments
to
you
all
this
evening
and
thank
you
all.
