1 I. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Historic Architecture Evaluation Report is to evaluate two houses and associated structures and landscape features at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road, Pleasanton, California as architecturally and/or historically significant resources. The two detached, single family, single story houses at 11033 and 11021 Dublin Canyon Road are in a semi-rural area of single-family houses on large lots and suburban subdivisions (APN 941-2500-002, -003). The project site includes total of 123 acres south of Dublin Canyon Road. The Lester family owns a majority of the site totaling approximately 110 acres (including the houses at 11021-11033 Dublin Canyon Road). The Shriners Hospital for Children (Shriners) owns the approximately 12.5 acre property along Dublin Canyon Road but to the north of the Lester property. According to County Assessor records, the house at 11021 Dublin Canyon Road was constructed in 1918. This house was likely built by Joseph Fernandes who had owned the property from at least 1910. Manuel Terra, Sr. bought the property by the 1930s. The property is referred to in this report as the Manuel Terra Ranch because of the longtime association of the property with this family. The house at 11033 Dublin Canyon Road was built by the current owner/occupant (Mabel Lester, Manuel Terra’s granddaughter) in 1966. Ponderosa Homes proposes to develop the Lester and Shriners’ properties in Pleasanton, California, for a housing subdivision. The new development will include constructing new houses for the Lester family members who occupy the houses at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road. Currently in an unincorporated area of Alameda County, the property will be annexed by the City of Pleasanton in conjunction with its proposed development. This report was completed to comply with the sections of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requiring identification of potential historic resources. The buildings were evaluated under the criteria of the California Register of Historical Resources. None of the buildings have been previously listed in or determined eligible for the National Register or the California Register of Historical Resources. 11021 Dublin Canyon Road received a “Q” rating (which indicates the house has “some visual interest, needs more historical research”) in the Historical and Cultural Resource Survey, East Alameda County, a 2005 historic resource “windshield” reconnaissance survey (Corbett 2005:41). Based on the research and field survey conducted for this report, the two houses and related buildings and landscape features at 11021 and 11033 Dublin Canyon Road are not eligible for the California Register because they are not significant under California Register Criteria 1, 2, 3 or 4. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Ponderosa Homes proposes to develop the Lester and Shriners’ properties in Pleasanton, CA, for a housing subdivision on the 123 acre project site on the south side Dublin Canyon Road, generally between Canyon Creek Circle and Canyon Meadows Drive, consisting of two contiguous properties. The Lester family (11021-11033 Dublin Canyon Road) owns a majority of the site totaling approximately 110 acres. The Shriners Hospital for Children (Shriners) owns the approximately 12.5 acre property along Dublin Canyon Road but to the north of the Lester property which is also included in the project site design. The project site is currently located
