4. What is a Historic Resource? Policy 1 says historic resource is a residential building <br />built before 1942 ... determined using the Pleasanton Downtown Historic Context <br />Statement to be eligible for listing in the California Register. <br />Mr. MacDonald stated that Mr. Dolan told the Chamber this morning that the reference <br />to the Context Statement does not change the requirement that each property <br />designated a historic resource must meet the full criteria for California Register listing. <br />He noted that that is a helpful clarification and that he is ready to take Mr. Dolan's word <br />so the word change is not warranted. He added that he comes from the trust - but - verify <br />school of thought when it comes to new government regulations. He stated that he <br />thinks the Planning Commission should request that the Comprehensive Historic <br />Resource Survey to be performed based on those criteria be brought back to the <br />Planning Commission and City Council. He pointed out that each property <br />recommended for designation as a historic resource, and the factual basis for that <br />designation should be vetted by the people whose property is being designated. He <br />emphasized that the final determination of a property as a historic resource should be <br />made by the City Council and not by some consultant. He indicated that that is a <br />needed safeguard to assure that the standards are reasonably applied. <br />5. Converts Guidelines into Mandates. Mr. Dolan stated earlier that Policy 10 is not <br />intended to make the guidelines mandatory to the extent that they are mandatory or <br />voluntary now, and that they will stay that way. <br />Mr. MacDonald stated that Mr. Dolan gave the clarification that he was hoping for. <br />Mike Peel stated that he attended Task Force Meetings #1 through #7 and that at the last <br />Task Force meeting, he was told that items decided by the previous six Task Force <br />meetings were not going to be changed or discussed. He called attention to the paragraph <br />on height and mass on page 35 of the Downtown Design Guidelines: "In the immediate <br />area, homes on the lots within 200 feet of the subject lot." He indicated that this was <br />decided in Task Force Meeting #6 and that he could not bring up any discussion on it in <br />Task Force Meeting #7. <br />Mr. Peel stated that on October 4, 2013, he got an email from Steve Otto stating that <br />paragraph 8 on page 9 of 12 of the changes, the "200 feet" is now changed to 150 feet of <br />the subject property." He noted that this was not discussed in the last Task Force Meeting, <br />and, therefore, he does not know if it got changed by staff or by the Task Force itself. He <br />questioned who is going to determine the square footage of the surrounding 18 to <br />25 homes. He stated that, as a real estate broker, he knows that on the tax records, the <br />square footages of these older homes are misleading, and some do not even exist. He <br />questioned what if one of the surrounding neighbors does not want the applicant to come <br />onto their property to measure their house, and how can the applicant then get the accurate <br />measurements of the houses surrounding the subject property. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, November 13, 2013 Page 26 of 50 <br />
