3:34 am
presentation prepared but time is getting short i'll be happy to be available for questions. when my wife and i bought this property it's an overwhelming project it's a wreck and a lot of water damage to it and poor maintenance in the past and we defrmd we were going to restore this building leaning toward restoration rather than rehabilitation. we're talking about what we've done a couple of examples and keeping it historically correct i had the motor analyzed and reproduced almost the same motor mix and we rebuilt the windows instead of replacing them and we used a quarter of inch of glass.
3:35 am
we've been - we had a lot of wood rot repaired. we upgraded the building but we've been careful. i had a master craft man's working on the job he takes those beautiful woodwork but a lot of it had water damage and took it out and straightened it out and put that back in place. when we've had to replace materials to the extent i went out and matched the redwood. and we have a long way to go there's a lot of things in the house. we've had plumbing leaks where the sewage has leaked out.
3:36 am
we have very good craftsman working on the house but a lot of time and effort and money has gone into this we think this house is a perfect item for the mills act >> thank you. commissioners any questions? seeing none, any public comment? on any of those public comment is closed we'll bring it back to commission. i do what one on the liability stream one mr. fry. with the big addition of the garage to the front etc., you know, are we stretching on this one and the question is i see
3:37 am
repairs to the front steps and the roof desk and stuff that wasn't there that had nothing to do with this. i'm a little bit lessory and the goal in working with the property owners here was to revise some of the work that's required so if there is work to be done that will reduce the overall size and bulk of that and to return the garage to the historic setting the language is lose but the property owners were comfortable with. that language can be strengthened in the front yard set back but if there is
3:38 am
anything to be addressed with the property owner we feel their heats in the right place and the general intent is to do the work but we can add to it. yes park and rec staff there's the historic property with the garage at the front and the addition that was done to the back of the property. the work that's included is work that's effecting the historic structure only. the things we allotted them to put into the property that is relating to the garage for instance, where the location where the garage mets the how is it is causing water damage running back to the historic structure. so there's a few little cases
3:39 am
that might seem a little bit sketchy. there's a justified reason for including those scopes. the same with the addition we didn't allow them to include the after the accident with the mills act so there was things that were back and forth and had to be sort of out >> yeah, the mills act is for upkeep and restoration. i've been a big promoter of the mills act this is something we've got a modern addition of a garage on something and we're starting to step into and repair this modern stuff. even the watertank is a defect
3:40 am
in the water dine. i'm a little bit weary on this 20th street one >> yeah, just to reiterate what ms. parks said the goal in strushg was not to allow the work but work to preserve the longest gift and the continued use of the historic property we included it in so repairing the water issues in the garage would, in fact, did he take care of the water damage. if we can make that connection we would but if not we'll have them pull it out >> commissioner highland. >> thank you, carl. >> how many mills acts have we
3:41 am
had so far. >> 5 active contracts and this would be 7, 8 and 9. >> so we're still in the single-digits. i know the street i know the entire street along those blocks have those garages and they all have those water problems and anything we can do to help that will help the fountains to them. i wasn't preparing to say that but i think those all 3 are great and i would support them. there is one typo i think in the 2550 webster and the pages are not numbered its number 2 on the second page of the application
3:42 am
