APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Chairman Williams asked for comments or corrections for the
September 9, 2003 Minutes. M/S/C (Hayton / Scott) (5 Yes, 0 No, 2 Absent, 0 Abstentions)
to approve the September 9, 2003 Board Minutes as presented.
CHAIRMAN=S REPORT: Chairman Williams announced that Board Members Isermann and
Williams as a Board approved sub-committee, met with staff regarding the Fire station cameras
based on staff recommendation. The sub-committee did approve two dome-type cameras to be
placed on the left side of the building and one 22-inch camera in back of the building. The First
Chief seemed happy with that and it was a good compromise. It is hoped that City staff will
follow-up on installing the historic plaque on the building.
ARCHITECTURAL APPROVAL:
Case 3.2098 - Application by Catherine Meyler for a landscape plan at 2311 North Indian Canyon
Drive, Zone R-2, Section 3.
Associate Planner Jing Yeo re-introduced the property - The Grace Miller House a Class 1 Historic
Site. Staff and Board have been working with Ms. Meyler related to various improvements
proposed and today the landscape plan will be presented.
Catherine Meyler described the current landscape as being more sparse than the original and
explained that it was designed for a 25% viewing corridor as well as privacy. Original plants had
grown up very very close to the house,
(1940's photos were passed round) which is not what Ms. Meyler prefers. Keeping plants away
from the house sets the house off for better viewing. Ms. Meyler introduced Warren Miller, the
landscape designer, who talked about the concept of visualizing the house from the view area as
well as providing the privacy that the property owner wants to establish. The plan is to give the
property more of a >desert look=. No plant material around the house, there is an accentual
ocotillo and a couple of Texas Rangers, but for the most part, the house will be left open for view
from the corridor. There will be some cactus along the drive to assist with security. Drive will be
gravel and decorative and native sand, with lots of boulders. There is a two-story apartment
complex next door, the acacia will provide wind resistance and privacy. The Blue Leaf Waddle
trees will be planted about six feet apart, they are weeping, lacy trees. There will be hesperaloe,
cardera, (msp) pampas grass, etc. Plants are desert and/or low water type plants...palo verde,
mesquites, and acacia.
Director Evans pointed out that if the trees are planted as close as the plan depicts the first five
years will be wonderful, then the trees will fight one another and will have to be thinned out.
Mr. Miller agreed that thinning at a later date will be required and will be evaluated and addressed
at that time. The plantings will be more traditional and desert. The pool is not in as yet and an
area will be left open for that to be installed at a later time.
It was asked where the plaque will be installed and Director Evans advised that staff will work with
Ms. Meyler so when landscaping is complete, the plaque will be installed in a location where
plants do not obstruct it and in where Ms. Meyler would want the public to be. Wherever the
plaque is installed is where the viewing public will gather.
M/S/C (Scott/Rush) 5 Yes, 0 No, 2 Absent, 0 Abstention that the application be approved as
presented.
AGENDA ITEM #1: WORK PROGRAM 2003/2004 The Board packet provided a copy of the Work Program for 2003 which the Board approved some
time ago. Chairman Williams pointed out that on the back of that document are the approvals
and denials in 2002 and asked staff for an update on the door alteration at 800 North Palm
Canyon Drive the Board to review and it that had been resolved.
Director Evans advised the Board that no legal proceedings have been initiated against the
property owner who had indicated the property might be sold. Staff felt they have more luck with
property owners. If the Board wishes to pursue this it would request legal action to enforce the
issue. If any Board Members who know the property owner, the might call them. Prior attempts
have not been successful, the property owner wants the building de-classified and is very firm

based on the fact that the building has been substantially altered over the years. They question if
it should have been designated in the first place.
Chairman Williams referred to the Work Program for 2003 which is done on a calendar year and
asked Director Evans to discuss the program.
Director Evans went over the items in the Work Program:
1. Funding: Associate Planner Kathy Marx will update the Board on a conference she
attended that addressed Historic Preservation funding sources.
2. Master Plan for Historic Preservation: This is part of the General Plan update and copies
were given to the Board for review and their comments. That review has been started via
the General Plan Steering Committee and Board Member Scott is serving on this
Committee.
Board Member Scott advised that everyone is invited to attend these meetings. The next
one is October 30 in this conference room at 5 p.m. The Committee is comprised of people
throughout the community, i.e. neighborhood groups, economic representatives, Agua
Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, etc. Will be refining the Vision Statement at the next
meeting and the next step is how to achieve the Vision Statement, then start working on the
Master Plan Update. There are about 23 people on the Steering Committee. Attendance
has been good for these meetings and it=s a very diverse group.
3. Ordinance Revision: This has been discussed by the Board and how to deal with the
survey. Eventually that will go into the Ordinance and the likelihood that staff may have to
consider de-listing...the Aundoing@ process. The City Attorney and staff feel that there are
other areas to be clarified in the Ordinance. Staff has not pushed the City Attorney to deal
with the de-listing, but that will come up based upon what happens in the courts.
4. Plaques: Board and staff have been working on the plaquing of historic sites and Board
Member Rush has done a survey of all the plaques. Staff will continue to try to get all the
Class 1 sites plaqued as quickly as possible.

5. Survey Update: This will be discussed later in this meeting.
6. Local, State, and National Historic Designations: Kathy Marx updated the Board on
SHPO re the Frances Stevens Nomination going before the Historic Advisory Committee
November 7, 2003 on the Consent Agenda calendar. This means that SHPO has reviewed
the nomination and has given their staff recommendation for approval. Consequently, they
will give a brief slide presentation for that nomination plus others at the beginning of the
meeting and if no one has objected or objects, then the nominations are approved. It=s
not a contentious nomination, which is very good. It=s going to be at the Pasadena City
Hall Council Chambers at 9 a.m. November 7 and anyone is welcome to attend.
7. Historic Preservation Public Information Program: The Board had envisioned working on
this the early part of next year in conjunction with the survey to try to talk with owners of
buildings that are not designated that the survey has identified, especially the most historic
fifty (50) to get them moving toward Class 1 designations. That will carry on to the Work
Program for next year.
Chairman Williams asked for other comments on this year=s work agenda and ideas for next year
and asked the Board Members to give thought to this and present their ideas at the next two
meetings.
Director Evans explained that this needs to be in place and submitted to the City Council about
mid-January. The next two months are open for items to add into this program, perhaps
expanding the public information program, clarify what the Board is actually doing.
AGENDA #2: MEDIA OUTREACH SUB-COMMITTEE UPDATE - BOARD MEMBER RUSH Not much to report on the media outreach, but suggested a meeting with staff to establish a time
line through the next 12 months, such as the Frances Stevens School, the survey finalization, etc.,
and identify the opportunities for media outreach as they come up over the next year. This could
be a working document that changes depending on what new things come up, to be sure the
Board and staff are aware of those opportunities and are acting on them within the time frame of
when they are happening. The survey finalization should present several opportunities for media.
Will contact staff outside of the meeting to discuss ideas and develop a time line.

Comments were that it=s been disappointing that nothing has been seen in the papers about the
survey in progress, but perhaps information can be gotten out when it is finalized.
Director Evans advised that a press release was published to try to gain the interest of the local
newspaper, but nothing came of it.
Chairman Williams offered to work the Board Member Rush to try to set up a meeting with Brian
Joseph of the Desert Sun to get them aware of what the HSP Board is doing and asked if that is
something that can be done as Board Members.
Director Evans explained that the Board has to work with Lee Husfeldt, the City=s Public
Information Officer before Board members go out to initiate media. The City Manager and City
Council have to be aware in advance of what is being done.
The challenge with the media is that they can be fed all the information possible and when the issue
comes on the agenda, the news day influences whether or not coverage is given. With Ms.
Husfeldt=s help, Board and staff can start setting the frame work for a article, as opposed to a news
bulletin, such as talking about what the survey is, what it means, layer in Frances Stevens School
>s State designation. Try to give a good story because good news really has to be pitched....it
there is not something Astirring@ it=s hard to create an article. In the meeting, also bring in Rick
from Channel 17, and what he and his staff are capable of doing, a photographic piece that can run
on channel 17 as normal programming.
AGENDA ITEM #3: HISTORIC SITE PLAQUE SURVEY UPDATE - BOARD MEMBER RUSH Distributed the revised Plaque Report because Frances Stevens School was inadvertently left off
and in the section pending plaques have been listed including the Grace Lewis Miller and the Edris
houses. There is a reception featuring the historic designation on the Edris house which will be
October 18 and it is hoped the plaque will be available to present.

October 14, 2003
Perhaps another meeting with staff to contact property owners for those plaques listed as Anot
visible@ to determine what the messaging to the property owners to coordinate and resolve these
issues.
Board Member Scott pointed out two Mills Act properties listed as Anot visible@ and the agreement
criteria is that plaques will be visible: Carey-Pirozzi and Kaufmann-Harris houses.
Director Evans explained that in the Pirozzi house it was between the home owner and installer to
select a suitable rock or boulder to mount the plaque on and the most suitable was not a good
location and lost the priority of having it visible. The owner of the Kaufmann-Harris house did not
like the bronze plaque, staff could possibly work with them to switch to a brushed aluminum-type
plaque which might resolve their concern. They are bombarded with people who want to see their
property and it=s a delicate balance of public versus private relationships on that house. Staff will
have to double check to see if those listed as Anot visible@ were officially plaqued and/or go out
and physically try to locate the plaques. Staff will do some records research.
Board Member Rush asked about the cost of plaquing. It was reported that the plaque costs about
$268 plus shipping.
Director Evans reported there are funds to do the plaques and the larger plaques are about $1,000.
The City had an employee who volunteered to install the plaques, but he has since retired and
there may not be another person who can or is willing to do this. If a professional installer is
required, the cost may go up several hundred dollars as the procedure requires to go out, find a
suitable location, get the materials and equipment to install, transport that to the site, do the
installation, etc.
Board Member Chespak asked if this could be upgraded so that we have a reliable person to install
plaques and be available when other sites are designated so that staff and Board knows that
plaques are being installed correctly and timely.
Director Evans explained that going out for a bid and having a contractor on board to install
infrequent plaques, the contract would go stale. Staff will call to John at his home to see if he
would be interested in continuing these installations. Installation of the plaques is not the problem.
Staff will work with Board Member Rush to establish a routine for these plaque installations. Will

try for an update at the next meeting, Planning is short-handed at the moment and everyone has a
heavy workload.
Chairman Williams advised that he knows of two sites that are not plaqued...the Ingleside Inn and
the Fire Station. An update by staff at the next HSPB meeting would be appreciated.
AGENDA ITEM #4: CALIFORNIA PRESERVATION FOUNDATIONS= INCENTIVE FOR
HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECT WORKSHOP - ASSOCIATE PLANNER KATHY MARX Kathy Marx attended this workshop on September 26, 2003 in Berkeley and reported that it was
extremely interesting and intense. She gathered quite a lot of information, including a CD which
can be downloaded for detailed information. Federal, City, and State incentives programs were
presented and examples were supplied for Board review. A summary of the day=s workshops
was provided in the Board=s packet and those applicable to Palm Springs
were underlined. The second half of the day (page 2, section D of the summary) for local
incentives was to do the most with the least amount of money which utilized different components:
Zoning incentives, Permit review streamlining, Mills Act, Historic Building Code, Facade program,
Historic preservation grants, and transfer of development rights. Example: Single-family historic
home in a single family location, flexibility was allowed in the zoning to perhaps allow for a gallery
downstairs and residence upstairs; review of parking requirements, etc. These were on a
case-by-case basis. Palm Springs is active in many of these areas. One interesting comment re
the Mills Act is that it can be used for condominiums, townhouses and homeowner association type
properties. Brochures were available for Board review, and copies can be made for anyone
interested.
Director Evans thanked Kathy for seeking out this workshop and paying for some of the expenses
out of her own pocket. She went above and beyond on this and brought back valuable
information.
AGENDA ITEM #5: FRANCES STEVENS SCHOOL CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORIC
RESOURCES NOMINATION UPDATE - ASSOCIATE PLANNER KATHY MARX
HSPB Meeting Minutes

October 14, 2003
This was discussed earlier in the Work Program and does not have anything more to add. Had to
do a lot of extra work on that one after the initial information was submitted as the State asked for
additional information. It is available for anyone who wishes to see all the details.
Director Evans again thanked Kathy for all the outside work done on this nomination and
congratulated her on getting her Afirst@ application on the State Consent Calendar. It is a credit
to how hard she worked. It will help to have someone in the audience from Palm Springs when
this comes up at the November 7 meeting. Staff will talk with the City Council to see if there is any
interest in attending. The State Boards like to see representation from the City where a property is
up for nomination and designation.
Chairman Williams asked if staff knew of any Coachella Valley properties currently on the
California Register and asked if staff would research this.
Kathy Marx advised that Tahquitz Canyon is an archeological site, but she=s not aware of any other
Coachella Valley property. She is working with the property owner of the O=Donnell house to get
it listed on the National Register.
Director Evans reported that one of the very early schools in Coachella may be on the State
Register. Staff will check if the Board wants that information. The Internet could give us most of
that information and this could be a target for getting the Desert Sun involved.
It was asked if there is going to be a presentation to the Council about this and if Board Members
should attend.
Director Evans thought that a Areceive and file@ report could be done for one of the next Council
meetings.
AGENDA ITEM #6: HISTORIC SITE SURVEY PROCESS, CONTACT, AND CONSULTANT
REPORT Associate Planner Jing Yeo reported that all the Board=s recommendations were forwarded to the
Consultant. They are now trying to select the first 100 properties which will be given to us before
they proceed further. The Ashaded@ properties on the spreadsheet handed out to all Board
Members are those recommended properties which have been sent to the Consultants.
Properties not on the original list, but submitted by Board members are listed on the last page of
HSPB Meeting Minutes
Page

October 14, 2003
this spreadsheet. Some of the Board Member=s recommendations were forwarded direct to the
Consultant and are not on this spreadsheet. Those will be added to the spreadsheet so all
properties will be itemized.
Director Evans advised that a few Anames@ were taken off the list for privacy issues, their
properties are still listed...just not the names of current owners.
Planner Yeo updated the Board as to Consultant cost for an unscheduled trip to Palm Springs
related to obscured properties. Staff has asked for a quote for this unexpected part of the survey.
They came back a little under $9,000, and the problem is that any contract over $5,000 has to go
back to City Council. Staff then asked them to re-evaluate the number of properties they will be
looking at.
Director Evans advised that there are fund available but it would mean trading out some plaques for
this work. Council has allowed a carryover of un-used funds in this category from year-to-year, but
do we want to do another
task. The next time there is a review, someone will come up with additional properties staff should
look at. Staff now asks the Board think about whether or not we ask the Consultant to finish with
what can be done now, then come back as a second phase and look at additional properties that
may also include preparing designations. The challenge in bringing them back is that multi-people
are required, they do travel frugally, but the hours required for field work really add up. Staff is
debating whether or not to put another Work Program together that next year obscured properties
are viewed as a different work effort. Decision must be made within the next week or so as the
earliest this could go to Council would be November for a contract amendment, but eventually the
work must be done. Board needs to let staff know ASAP.
Board Member Rush asked if it would be up to the City Council to approve the use of plaque funds
for these costs.
Director Evans will have to advise the Council where the money is and why it is necessary. There
may be a need to augment this report. The money needs to be spent as wisely as possible. Staff
may ask Consultant to work faster and to sharpen their pencils for a better quote. A very quick
HSPB Meeting Minutes

October 14, 2003
triage of properties in the field may be worth looking at. The update of properties the Consultants
had to re-visit has not been received.
Board will look forward to a survey update at the next meeting and the first 100 properties by the
end of November 2003.
AGENDA ITEM #7: DISCUSSION OF CITY=S HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE Update was given in the Work Program report.
AGENDA ITEM #8: PALM SPRINGS PRESERVATION FOUNDATION - BOARD MEMBER
SCOTT The Foundation will be hosting an event on Saturday, November 15, 2003 ACelebrating the
Spanish Revival Colonial Architecture of the City@ with a unique bus tour starting at a house called
In vernata, which has never been open to the public and is in remarkable condition. The tour will
involve private and commercial properties and will end up at Casa La Luna, the Johnny Mercer
house, for a cocktail reception from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Notification will be sent to membership and
mailing lists and will be limited to 100 people. It is $100 for members and $125 for non-members.
Check the web site at wwpspf.net for additional information or contact the Foundation directly.
Director Evans asked for the Preservation Foundation, ModCom, and the Historical Society to write
letters to SHPO in support of the Frances Stevens School designation. It would be very helpful,
the State just counts them and it does help if there are questions.
AGENDA ITEM #9: PALM SPRINGS HISTORICAL SOCIETY - BOARD MEMBER BLEDSOE Board Member absent.
AGENDA ITEM #10: PALM SPRINGS MODERN COMMITTEE - BOARD CHAIRMAN WILLIAMS A home tour is scheduled for November 8, 2003 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a reception in the
event. It is not limited to Palm Springs, the Frank Sinatra house (built 1947) and the Keniston
(msp) house (1957), both Stewart Williams designed and in Rancho Mirage, are included in this
tour. This last house is featured as the Mates house in ABoy Meets Boy@, and several other
homes and condos. The cost is $50 for members, $65 for non-members. The web site is
www.psmodcom.com.

AGENDA ITEM #11: PALM SPRINGS BRIEF HISTORY & ARCHITECTURAL GUIDE UPDATE Planner Yeo reported that is ready to go to print. There were only about eight (8) properties that
are not historic sites, so the brochure shows which properties are not designated by an * in the
Index.
Chairman Williams will look at it and perhaps this could be a press item once published.
Board Member Rush suggested that these brochures be sent to travel editors of LA Times and
other neighboring newspapers to increase awareness of architecture in this area as well as
tourism.
Director Evans advised that the Tourism Bureau generally sends every brochure of this nature to
publication to generate press.
BOARD AND STAFF REPORTS: Chairman Williams asked that (1) a report from the Architecture and Design Council from the Palm
Springs Desert Museum be added as a regular Agenda item. Contact is Jim Isermann. They
are sponsoring the reception for the Edris House designation on October 18, 2003; and (2) the
Historic Site #23 is Community Church at 284 South Cahuilla Road redevelopment project.
Director Evans reported that on the designated property (original church site) there are no plans
on file yet. The property owner is intending to renovate it into a bed and breakfast inn. The
more contemporary church is slated for redevelopment on this site as is one fairly old home. The
interior has been modified and the structural integrity has not been evaluated. It could possibly be
relocated. Some residents asked during a neighborhood meeting if the house could be
incorporated into the new project and it doesn=t work economically to try to keep an old house on
a small site. The house was built sometime in the 1930's and has never shown up on any
historic surveys. Staff feels it is a strong project for that neighborhood and residents seem
pleased. The Board will be involved when the plans come around for the Class 1 site.
Board Member Chespak referred to Item #11 - the Architectural Guide and hoped that staff let
everyone see his revisions re the cover and new wording. He did not hear from anyone working
HSPB Meeting Minutes

on the brochure and feels that the Board=s name is on this brochure and it=s important that all
Board members agree on this before it is printed.
Planner Yeo advised that she and Tracy Conrad reviewed all revisions and edits.
Chairman Williams visited the Tramway Gas Station and the wall has been partially cut down and
it is still quite a lot higher than depicted in earlier meetings. Will more be cut down...he read from
earlier minutes...he measured the wall and it measures 49 to 50 inches in some places.
Director Evans explained that when O=Donnell and Escalante Architects looked at the wall and
reported to the Commission and HSP Board, they did not know where all the bond beams were.
A field determination had to be made as to where the best place to cut it would be, which resulted
in it being cut higher than lower. The operational concern of the people who have to operate and
maintain the liability aspects of that building. The City Council approved the specs relative to
construction of the building. There is a security concern about all the public activity that will be
taking place around that building was an issue. The Board could make a recommendation to the
City Council , but there is no money in the budget to cut it a second time.
Board Member Scott indicated that in walking along the side walk, at places it is six (6) feet high
and objects strongly to the wall being that high. It blocks the view of the gas station from any
pedestrians or from drive-bys and feels that the Board was mis-lead on this. It was a big issue
from the beginning and the Board could have met at the site and worked with the team. He
would like to see a different solution. The Board was instructed as to the original planned height,
but not instructed to the change in the height.
Director Evans advised that it is not on the Agenda. The board can ask for reports and make
comments, but the Board cannot take action or give direction. There could be a special meeting
called to address the Boards concerns and direction. Staff=s role is to guide the Board on proper
procedures of conducting public meetings and in this instance a special meeting could be called
for tomorrow, but the item needs to be on the agenda before the Board can give directions or
instructions. The entire team can be brought in to discuss what happened so the Board can have
all the information then that action can be taken to the Council.

Chairman Williams commented that this is a historic site, the Board was given information that
was very controversial and the Board agreed as to what it felt should be done, changes were
made and the Board was not even a part of the process. This is a concern.
Board Member Rush asked if the process for changes in construction that are done to Class 1
projects going forward could be discussed.
Director Evans advised that it could not be discussed today. The Board is limited to what is listed
on the Agenda and the Agenda has to be specific so the public knows what the Board is going to
talk about in detail. Asking staff what happened, staff=s response to what happened is allowarble
under Board and Staff Reports. A 24-hour notice is required for a special meeting, so it could be
held tomorrow and with the Chairman=s concurrence, staff will try to get the team here.
Chairman Williams asked if, at this special meeting, issues like this can be handled or should this
be at the next meeting.
Director Evans advised that the Board could ask for whatever they wanted to be on the agenda.
The first item could be the concerns on this project, the secondary item could be the process. A
quorum would be necessary for a special meeting.
Board Member Hayton stated that it would be a great expense to bring all these people in for a
special meeting and asked if the Board would have an opportunity to take a look at the situation
briefly before a decision is made to call this special meeting? For example...he has not visited
the site and seen the situation and would like to so before the special meeting.
Director Evans will try to put together information, will check the project schedule, with information
from the project manager=s perspective for the Chairman and fax to the Board members. Staff
will call the project manager as quickly as possible.
Chairman Williams asked if alternatives to lowering the wall and costs could be looked at or what
type of information will the staff provide? It=s a big issue and needs to be addressed. What is
the completion date of the Visitor=s Center?

Agenda Item #11: Jing Yeo brought back Board Member Chespak=s suggested revisions to the
Architectural Guide and passed it to all Board Members for review. Member Chespak suggested
renaming it to Palm Springs Architectural Guide and move the golfers off the cover. These
images are ready available and re-iterated that he was assured this would be handed out to
everyone. He wants to be more active in the next edit and publication and not an 11th hour
decision.
Chairman Williams asked how much of a history was actually in the guide and preferred that Brief
History should stay in the title and likes the way it is.
Director Evans advised that the golfers on the cover was an original image of the old El Mirador
Hotel with a putting green.
Board Member Hayton stated that this area is noted for its golfing and feels the original cover
provides a broader view and is more effective.
Board discussion determined that no changes be made for this edition and that changes can be
made the next time the brochure is edited and published.
Board Member Rush asked that in any correspondence where there is a Acc@ field or changes
made in prior Board approved documents that all Board Members be copied.
Director Evans explained that when this was started it was meant to be a very fast turn-around,
but that didn=t work out and has been going on for a long time. Everyone got anxious to get this
printed once all the information was in.
Chairman Williams asked for additional reports, comments, etc., there being none, the meeting
was adjourned at 10:06 a.m. November 11 is a holiday for City staff, so the next meeting will be
Wednesday, November 12, at 8:15 a.m. in this conference room.
