The homesite is a 0.67 acre lot comprised of a portion of Lot 10 and Lot 1 in the Little Tuscany #2, located on the south side of West China Canyon Road, just west of Leonard Road The home is sited in a residential neighborhood, comprised of custom designed homes of varying vintage and styles. It is located on an irregular shaped lot on a ridge overlooking Palm Springs in the Little Tuscany neighborhood. To the north is open, undeveloped hillside with many large boulders and natural desert vegetation. The siting of the home is close to the road, with terraced and landscaped areas minimized, allowing the rugged nature of the site to be preserved. In 1941, John and Fannie Hamrick commissioned John Porter Clark and Albert Frey as the architect for a new 3,580 square foot home located at 875 Chino Canyon Drive in Palm Springs, The Hamrick House is a one story Mediterranean/Spanish Revival home with a clay barrel the hipped roof with extended eaves, exposed rafters, and painted masonry walls of low fire rusticated brick. There is a cut stone fireplace chimney set in the north facade, cut stone pilasters, cut stone walls on the garage and an uncoursed fieldstone wall along the property's north and west boundaries. in 1947 the Hamncks commissioned Clark and Frey to design an enclosed sun room, or lanai at the rear of the property, as well as an additional bathroom in a west bedroom expansion. In the early 1980's an addition was constructed on the east side of the home, adding a bedroom and bathroom to the home. Although the roof form of this later addition is gabled, not a hip roof as on the original structure, the addition incorporates materials and design details consistent and sympathetic with the architecture of the original house. The current owners are presently installing a pool with approximately the same dimensions and orientation as the pool originally designed for the home in 1941, but which was never built due to the onset of World War Il. The pool and terrace are not only sympathetic to the architecture of the existing structure in location and approximate size, but also respect the original Clark and Frey site plan in its placement at a slightly - 00;�- lower elevation than the floor elevation of the house The present pool and terrace work is permitted and being constructed in compliance with the local building code. Of further significance, the home was designed by the prominent local architectural firm of Clark and Frey. John Porter Clark and Albert Frey were local architects of national significance whose work is recognized to be of major importance in the development of the `desert modernist' style. While many of their residential works of this period were comprised of popular revival styles, the designs are modern in their essence; making generous use of glass, corner casement windows, an open plan layout, and flat planar wall surfaces; all elements found in the Hamrick House. In the 1947 lanai addition to the Hamrick House, Clark and Frey's leaning toward a minimalist modern idiom is seen in the use of extremely large panels of glass, thin, round tubular corner columns and thin, flat roof plane. The concept of 'blurring the distinction between interior and exterior' is evident in this space. In 1942 the Hamrick House was published in California Pictorial magazine in their Spring Edition. Although the Historic Site Preservation Board may only consider and pass upon the exterior features of a property, it is worth noting that the original interior design of the Hamrick House was largely influenced by notable Palm Springs designer Arthur Elrod. Elrod was a close friend of the Hamricks and according to surviving family members was responsible for the interior design of the living room and middle bedroom, which were designed in deep rich tones accented with light furniture and fabrics furnished by Barker Brothers of Los Angeles. Although these interiors have been changed over the years, the original condition of the interior of the home has been richly documented through a collection of interior photographs from the California Pictorial magazine article. John and Fannie Hamrick, who were from Portland Oregon, had been coming to Palm Springs since the 1930's and were avid golfers. John Hamrick, a member of the Motion Picture Pioneers Guild, was active in the motion picture industry since 1907 when he opened his first nickelodeon in Kansas City. He owned a series of motion picture theaters in Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and Portland In 1927 through his association with Harry M. Warner of Hollywood's' Warner Brothers Studios, Mr. Hamrick became the first motion picture house operator on the west coast to introduce sound to the motion pictures shown in his theater. The Hamrick family owned the home for over sixty years. REQUIRED FINDINGS Section 8.05.020 of the Municipal Code provides the definition of an historic site. The Hamrick House meets the definition of an historic site in the following ways: 2. It is associated with lives of persons who made meaningful contribution to national, state or local history, Mr. Hamrick's contribution to the evolution of the talking motion picture is of interest. Although his movie houses were not located in Palm Springs, his contribution in the northwest cities and states in which his movie houses were located could be considered relevant. 3. It reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history; The Hamrick House is an excellent example of the regional Mediterranean/Spanish Revival architectural style applied to a residence typical in Palm Springs around the 1930's and 1940's. The home retains nearly all of its original exterior features, elements and materials, including original masonry walls, clay tile roof, and steel sash casement windows. t The 1947 addition reflects the transitional nature of the architect's work as he moved from traditional to a more modern architectural style in his work. 4. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; or The Hamrick House was constructed with a clay barrel tile hipped roof with extended eaves, exposed rafters, and painted masonry walls of low fire rusticated brick. The main living room roof structure is exposed to reveal heavy timber beams and tongue and groove roof boards. The use of locally found rock for walls and other elements as well as the manner in which the house is sited to cause minimal disturbance to the natural site conditions provides a good example for sensitive development on a hillside site. S. That presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age; or that possesses high artistic value; It is designed by prominent local architects Clark and Frey who are recognized nationally for their contribution to modern architecture. Its clean straightforward lines and generous use of glass hint at the evolution in architecture that would follow in Clark and Frey's work as their architecture moved into the modern idiom. The exterior of the structure is largely intact and in excellent condition. These factors make it worthy of consideration for designation as a Class 1 historic site. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 1 The exception to this is a window in the kitchen which was moved from the corner and relocated four feet west along the south elevation. In accordance with Section 15331 (Historical Resources Restoration/Rehabilitation) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed designation is categorically exempt from environmental review as the proposed designation meets the conditions outlined for preservation of a historic resource. NOTIFICATION Pursuant to section 8.05.140 of the Municipal Code of Palm Springs, All property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the subject property have been notified and notice was made in a newspaper of general circulation. As of the writing of this report, staff as not received any inquiries on this matter.

Sincerely, Mark Anthony Puopolo 1 t I t I Enclosure kJC`1 1 HAMRICK HOUSE,1941-1947. John Porter Clark and Albert Frey,Architects-Builders Commissioned by Fannie and John Hamrick Mediterranean/Spanish Revival City of Palm Springs John and Fannie Hamrick commissioned John Porter Clark and Albert Frey as architect-builders for their home located ' at 875 Chino Canyon Drive,Palm Springs,CA,today known as 875 West Chino Canyon Road. The plot plan is dated April 18`r, 1941, followed on July 28`s, 1941, by the architectural and structural drawings. At the direction of the Hamricks,who owned the house for 62 years,the house was complete in late 1941 —early 1942- Clark and Prey are two of the best-known architects in Palm Spring's architectural history and,collectively,were responsible fur designing I many significant buildings in the city including City Hall, 1952 and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Valley Station, 1949 among many other private residences. Hamrick House is a one-story Mediteranean/Spanish Revival home originally designed to have a the roof, a stone chimney, stone pilasters, stone garage walls, a stone wall along the property's North border, semi-circular pebble driveway, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a two-car attached garage, kitchen,step-down dining room,living room with fireplace,and a flat rear yard area designed for a future pool. Later, on December 10 h' 1947,the Hamricks commissioned Frey and Clark to design an enclosed sun room,or lanai,at the rear of the property,as well as an additional bathroom in a west bedroom expansion.The sun room would overlook the natural desert landscape,mountains,and the city lights beyond. John and Fannie llamrick owned a series of motion picture theaters in Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland (the Hamrick Evergreen theaters as they became known in the late 1940's). Mr.Hamrick introduced the Vitaphone,or sound,to his ' motion pictures on March 18, 1927 at the Blue Mouse Theater in Seattle. The couple were avid golfers and had been coming to Pahn Springs since the 1930's. Around 1940, the Hamricks purchased three lots in Little Tuscany which included the one for their main residence,now known as 875 W. Chino Canyon Rd. On the lot to the North of their residence,the 1•lamricks built and sold a second home to dehay the initial cost of$5,000 to remove the boulders from ' the lot for their residence. Their third lot was for a future home for their daughter(never built). The Hamricks also owned a large home in Seattle,which was sold soon after his death. Hamrick House was photographed by Maynard L. Parker and published in California Pictorial magazine in the Spring 1942 edition. According to Darle Mavetty,Mr. Hamticks niece(still living in Palo Alto),the house was completed at the end of 1941 because Mr.Hamrick was very concerned about the availability of materials--especially with the beginning of World War 11 The decorator that had the largest influence on Fannie Hamrick was Arthur Elrod of Palm Springs,according to family relatives. He was a close friend and the middle bedroom and living room were all his creations with deep rich tones ' that contrasted the light furniture and fabrics. This design work was done from 1957-58. Elrod, besides being an active supporter of the Desert Museum was the designer of the Bob Hope residence. The interiors were famished by Barker Bros,of Los Angeles,with renowned decorator R.D.Harrell acting as principal designer. California Pictorial magazines Spring 1942 edition describes R_D. Harrell's Hanuick House, as, "the entire effect of the house is light, high-spirited, gay and cheerful, a faithful reflection of the mood of the desert resort" The fireplace mantel,based on Clark and Frey's design,flooring, swimming pool construction and electric upgrades are part of the restoration work planned by Pasadena-based CM Design partners Mark Anthony Puopo)o and Christopher Mullen in the Spring of 2006. HANMCK HOUSE ARCHITECTS John Porter Clark(1905-1991)and Albert Frey(1903-1998)of Clark&Frey were the architects of Hamrick House by 1 documented plans and city records. Palm Springs Weekend authors, Alan I-less and Andrew Danish, describe John Porter Clark,as"Lhe Lown'S first resident licc¢scd architect." Hess and Danish state,"Sally and Cukvcr Nichols,large landowners and developers, invited Clark to Palm Springs in 1932 because there was more work there than in Los Angeles, in the midst of the Depression" Jolm Porter Clark was educated at Comell University's College of ' Architecture and,according to Hess and Danish,"he had been working in Pasadena for the firm of Marston,Van Pelt, and Maybury, a traditional firm specializing in residential work in Spanish and Italian Renaissance styles." This Pasadena location would later become the summer office of Clark and Prey where their office would be shared with Clack's old firm. In a February 2, 2006 article in Botlomline, Robert Imber states that Clark"guided The more traditional commissions and Albert the more modem ones." hnbcr sites Downtown Palm Springs Wellwood Murray Library as one of Clark's Gems, described as,`4echnically a Spanish Colonial Revival building h is totally modem in essence." Author Robert Amber declares after Clack's arrival in Palm Springs in 1932,"Clark became one of the most accomplished modernists in the `form follows function' discipline." A similar achievement was accomplished in the commission of Hamrick House, ' According to I•less,"those styles seemed out of character for the desert,Clark felt,so he began by making the design of houses more compatible with the design of automobiles, mostly by utilizing the ranch style on a large lot" This influence is clearly evident in design of the Hamrick House. According to author's Hess and Danish,John Porter Clark remarked in a filmed interview in the mid 1970's that,he and Frey,"really grew up in Palm Springs." Palm Springs Weekend describes Clark as the more conventional of the two partners and"was rarely seen without a tic, handled client relations, talking to school boards and businesspeople, and sitting as a member of the Planning ' Commission,from the time the city was still unincorporated." Frey was described as"with a trace of a Swiss accent, and a casual dresser,concentrated on design. He was active with not only actual projects,they also worked according to Hess and Danish on larger projects in hopes they would have a chance at a larger commission." John Porter Clark's home that he designed for himself in 1939 is described by author's Hess and Danish in Palm Springs Weekend, as "fully conceived, perfectly executed in design; surprising especially because it has remained unknown for so long despite its advanced interpretation of Modernism." I•less and Danish state of Clark's home, completed in 1939, "it shows the hand of a highly personal designer, an aspect that Clark's professional interests in organizational issues, process and institutional work did not ofEm allow [Trim] to bloom. But his house, still in excellent condition,is one of the great overlooked buildings of California Modernism." Hess and Danish make note of Clark and Frey's design response to the desert heat. Hess states,"Clark used minimal insulation in roofs and walls." This is an evident design element of Hamrick House. Instead of trapping cool air in the building and then keeping it from escaping,he used a common evaporative unit to change the air frequently-making insulation of little use in retaining cold air. Clark and Frey's office on North Palm Canyon made an arcbiteetural ' feature,by the front door of the louvered cooling tower for its air conditioning systom. Albcrt Frey was a prolific architect who established a style of modem architecture centered around Palm Springs, California that came to be known as 'desert modernism.' John Porter Clark collaborated on several significant landmark Palm Springs properties including City Hall (1957) and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Valley Station (1949). John Porter Clark was project architect for the original Nellie Coffman Junior High School, College of the Desert, The Woman's Club on Baristo and Calrnilla, the first Pahn Springs Police Building, and the Department of Health building,according to author Robert Imber. Some of the above information is courtesy of preservationonline.com and the article below is an excerpt taken from htyr,//wwiti.answers.cone/topi Oal bcrt-free: "Frey was bom in Zurich, Switzerland in 1903, Frey received his architecture diploma in 1924 from the Institute of Technology in Winterthur, Switzerland. There Frey trained in traditional building construction and received technical ' instruction rather than design instruction in the then popular Beaux Arts style.During the period prior to receiving his diploma Frey apprenticed with the architect A.I. Artcr in Zurich and worked in construction during his school vacations.It was also around this time that Frey became aware of the Dutch Do Stijl movement,the German Bauhaus school and movement, and the modernism movement developing in Brussels. All would prove to be significant influences to Frey's later work. "From 1924 through 1928 Frey worked on various architectural projects in Belgium.In 1929 Frey secured a position in the Paris atelier of the noted Intcmational Style architect Le Corbusier and Picric Ieamnoret.Frey was one of two full- time employees of the atelier and coworkers included Jose Luis Sert,Kunio Maekawa, and Charlotte herriand.During his period of working for Le Corbusier, Frey worked on the Villa Savoye project and other significant Le Corbusier projects.In 1929 Prey left the atelier to take up work in the United States, but continued to maintain a friendship with Le Corbusier for many years. ` "In September, 1930,Frey arrived in New York.Prey was the first architect in America to have worked directly with Le Corbusier.Frey began working with the American architect A.Lawrence Kocher,who was also the managing editor I of Architectural Record, Their collaboration would last until 1935, and they would reunite for a brief collaboration again in 1938. Although only four buildings were built by the pair, they contributed significantly to the American modernist movement through their numerous articles published in Architectural Record on urban planning, the modernist aesthetic,and technology. One of their commissions was an office/apartment dual-use building for Kocher's brother,Dr. J.J.Kocher, of Palm Springs, California. This project introduced Frey to the California descrL which was to become his home and the backdrop for most of his subsequent work. 00:117 "From 1935 to 1937 Frey worked with John Porter Clark a Cornell-educated architec4 under the firm name of Van Pelt and Lind Architects as both were yet unlicensed in California.April of 1937 saw Frey briefly return to the east coast to work on the Museum of Modem Art in New York. While in New York Frey married Marion Cook, a writer he had previously met in Palm Springs. Upon completion of his work on the Museum of Modern Art in 1939 he and Marion mtumed to the desert to resume his collaboration with Clark,which was to continue for nearly twenty more years.Frey and Marion divorced in 1945 and neither remarried. In 1939 he moved permanently to Palm Springs. Alone, or occasionally with partners, such as John Porter Clark, Frey designed some 200 buildings in his adopted town and nearby commumtles. "At the end of World War 11 Palm Springs' population almost tripled, and the city experienced a building boom. Known as an escape for the Hollywood elite and a winter haven for cast coast industrialists, Palm Springs emerged post-war as a premier resort community for a broader segment of the American populace who would now enjoy more time and money for leisure than any previous generation.Frey and Clark were well positioned to capitalize on this,and both the oily and their firm beneficed from an unprecedented and yet-to-bc paralleled period of construction.Significant buildings by Frey during this period include his private residences,Frey house I and II,the Loewy I-louse. 1 "Other Frey and Clark work include the 1957 Palm Springs City Hall, the Crne House 11, the now abandoned North Shore Yacht Club on the northeastern short of the Salton Sea,the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Valley Station and the iconic"flying wedge" canopy of the Tramway Gas Station at the foot of the entrance to the tramway on the northern edge of Palm Springs,now used as a visitor's center.After some consideration,a worn shopping center at the comer of Sunrise Way and Ramon Road in Palm Springs that bore a Frey designed fagade was demolished and replaced with an entirely new center fiat incorporates a great deal of architectural touches in their style. As their work developed during the 1940s and 50s,the distinction between interior and exterior became increasingly blurred in his designs." ' (This evolution is evident in the Clark and Frey designed sun roan,or lanai,that was added for the Hamricks in the laic 1940's as the outdoors and indoors become one.) ' Another excerpt from htto:/lwtir�w ans'wcrs.com/Ionic/alhe[T-free states, "Frey and Clark's buildings contributed significantly to establishing Palm Springs as a progressive desert mecca for innovative modem architecture during the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. They produced designs for the entire spectrum of architectural commissions,from private homes to institutional and public buildings. According to Frey and Clark,their preferred form of expression was the ' residence as opposed to commercial and large-scale projects." Frey and Clark split according to I•Iess in 1957,was in part due to"Frey's desire to concentrate on more modest custom designs than to grow the office into a larger firm as Clark did." Hess goes on, "Joining with Stewart Williams, the architect behind. Edris House, a neighboring landmarkcd property, John Porter Clark would accomplish larger, confidently designed projects such as the College of the Desert in Pahn Desert and Crafton College in Yucaipa. Frey died in Palm Springs, Califomia, in 1998- John Porter Clark died in California, in 1991. John Porter Clank's descendents still reside in the home he designed in 1939. Clark and Frey's classic and modem design is visible in the architecture of countless Palm Springs buildings and many private residences, such as Hamrick House. Clark and Prey's design incorpomted the existing area boulders and the use of stone, concrete, and brick among other materials incorporated in the construction of Hamrick House. These materials have served as practical elements to keep the home cooler in the desert's heat, as well as, timeless components appropriate to Palm Springs architecture. 1 Other sieniGeant_bnildings designed by,Frey/Clark: Palm Springs City Hall Palm Springs City Hall,1952 Prey&Chambers,John Porter Clark and E.Stewart Williams Photo:M.Stern 3200 C-Tahquitz Canyon Way This stunning Modernist gem was the result of a group effort by leading local architects.Albert Frey designed the main part of the building,while the Council Chambers to the right(as you face the main entrance)were designed by John Porter Clark and Robson Chambers.

On March 18, 1927, sound motion pictures debut in Seattle at the Blue Mouse Theater, 1421 5th Avenue, Warner Bros.'Don Juan, starring John Banymore (1882-1942), features a musical score and sound effects, but no dialogue,using a phonograph record synchronized with the film in a process called Vitaphone. Vitaphone was developed by the Western Electric Co. and used a 16-inch disc rotating at 33 1/3 rpms. Sound was reproduced in the theater with moving-coil type loudspeakers, The process was introduced to Seattle by theater magnate John Hamrick(1876-1956), a local exhibitor who owned movie houses throughout the Pacific Northwest,including sister Blue Mouse theaters in Portland, Tacoma, and Spokane.

Hays (1879-1954),president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America; a musical number by Roy Smeck; a quartet singing "The Volga Boatmen"; and Giovanni Martinelli of the Metropolitan Opera accompanied by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Music for Don Juan was also performed by the New York Philharmonic, a technological advance that would eventually put thousands of in-house theater musicians out of work on the eve of the Great Depression. Calling the synchronization of sight and sound"uncanny,"Bverhardt Armstrong of the Post-Intelligencer was quite impressed with the Vitaphone, as were others who attended the new show at the Blue Mouse. "Throughout the Banymore picture ... the orchestral accompaniment follows closely, and without a break, the emotional curves of the story," he remarked. "And the music is so amplified by Vitaphone as to be heard with equal clarity from every seat in the theatre" ("Vitaphoue is Triumph at Blue Mouse").p Vitaphone was eventually replaced by sound-on-film technology,which quickly became i (and remains)the Hollywood standard.

The Valley Station of the Palm S rings Aerial Tramway t P g Y �. One of the best examples of Frey's work in which architecture and structure are thoroughly integrated is the Valley Station of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway ( 1949- 1963). This commission was a joint venture of Frey and Robson C. Chambers with Williams & Williams, who designed the Mountain Station, and John Porter Clark, who acted as the coordinating architect. Although the project was conceived in 1949, the actual designing process began around 1960 and construction started in the summer of 1961 . To adapt to the awkward site chosen for the Valley Station, Frey designed the building to rest on two plateaus which j span a shallow stream flowing down Chino Canyon. This station was thus conceived as a covered ' bridge, its walls are actually structural trusses spanning the two sides of the valley, and the windows reveal the structure of the trusses. The roof plane of the Valley Station is parallel to the slope of the land, which allows one to look up to the mountain and moving cable cars.

Clark was one of the first architects to live and practice in Palm Springs. They worked together from 1935 until tApril of 1937, when Freywent to work on a project in New York. In 1939, he returned to the desert and resumed his partnership with Clark, which lasted for almost twentyyears. Clark and Frey's buildings, both before and after World War II, were important contributions toward placing Palm Springs architecture on the map as a new frontier for the modern spirit. They designed both traditional and modern structures. If a client was receptive to modern architecture, 1 Frey would design the building, but if a traditional or mission style building was preferred, Clark would design it. This allowed both of them to work on what they wanted and kept the office financially sound. The Clark & Frey Office Building Iwas built in 1947, and today houses various businesses. The partnership was dis-solved at the end of 1956, the most lucrative year of Frey and Clark's nineteen years together. Clark, who had dealt with the business aspects of the firm, Iwanted to concentrate more on large commercial, public, and institutional structures at the expense of residential work. Frey Ihowever, was interested in designing a variety of structures. When Clark left the firm, the name was changed to Frey and Chambers, for Robson C. Chambers, who had been made a partner in 1952. 1 Text adapted from: Albert Frey: Architect by Joseph Rosa, 1990. 1 Available at the Palm Springs Public Library, in Circulation and Reference at 720.92 ROs. ..r r r 00 ■r .. r ..w �s . -Aw 1 Pn enoe Cabin..Cn achel la.

I t ' A Class 1 Historic Site may also qualify for historic designation at the federal, state and/or county level. Designation of Historic Sites. The City Council is authorized to designate Historic Sites The Historic Site Preservation Board makes recommendations to the City Council that I certain sites be designated as Historic Sites in accordance with Section 8.05.135 of the 2 hl } Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Report case HSPB-50 Cate April 2B,2006 Municipal Code and initiates studies, surveys and investigations as it deems necessary to adequate gather information in support of the recommendation. Conditions that apply to Class 1 Historic Sites. ,According to Section 8.05 of the Municipal Code, the following shall apply to a Class 1 Historic Site, 1. It shall meet the definition of an historic site as outlined in Municipal Code Section 8.05.020. 2. An archival file shall be maintained on the property by the City. 3. It may be qualified as 'historic' at the federal, state, and/or county level. 4. The structure/site may not be modified nor objects removed without the approval of the City Council. 5.

Compliance with all rules and regulations for Historic Sites and Historic Districts under Article IV of Chapter 8.05 of the Municipal Code shall be required (DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS. The homesite is a 0.67 acre lot comprised of a portion of Lot 10 and Lot 1 in the Little Tuscany ##2, located an the south side of West Chino Canyon Road, just west of Leonard Road The home is sited in a residential neighborhood, comprised of custom designed homes of varying vintage and styles It is located on an irregular shaped lot on a ridge overlooking Palm Springs in the Little Tuscany neighborhood. To the north is open, undeveloped hillside with many large boulders and natural desert vegetation. The siting of the home is close to the road, with terraced and landscaped areas minimized, allowing the rugged nature of the site to be preserved. in 1941, John and Fannie Hamrick commissioned John Porter Clark and Albert Frey as the architect for a new 3,580 square foot home located at 875 Chino Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. The Hamrick House is a one story Mediterranean/Spanish Revival home with a clay barrel tile hipped roof with extended eaves, exposed rafters, and painted masonry walls of low fire rusticated brick. There is a cut stone fireplace chimney set in the north facade, cut stone pilasters, cut stone walls on the garage and an uncoursed fieldstone wall along the property's north and west boundaries. In 1947 the Hamricks commissioned Clark and Frey to design an enclosed sun room, or lanai at the rear of the property, as well as an additional bathroom in a west bedroom expansion. In the early 1980's an addition was constructed on the east side of the home, adding a bedroom and bathroom to the home. Although the roof form of this later addition is gabled, not a hip roof as on the original structure, the addition Historic Site Preservation Board staff Report Case HSPB-50 Date April 28,2005 incorporates materials and design details consistent and sympathetic with the architecture of the original house. The current owners are presently installing a pool with approximately the same dimensions and orientation as the pool originally designed for the home in 1941, but which was never built due to the onset of World War II The pool and terrace are not only sympathetic to the architecture of the existing structure in location and approximate size, but also respect the original Clark and Frey site plan in its placement at a slightly lower elevation than the floor elevation of the house. The present pool and terrace work is permitted and being constructed in compliance with the local building code. Of further significance, the home was designed by the prominent local architectural firm of Clark and Frey. John Porter Clark and Albert Frey were local architects of national significance whose work is recognized to be of major importance in the development of the 'desert modernist' style. While many of their residential works of this period were comprised of popular revival styles, the designs are modern in their essence; making generous use of glass, corner casement windows, an open plan layout, and flat planar wall surfaces; all elements found in the Hamrick House. In the 1947 lanai addition to I the Hamrick House, Clark and Frey's leaning toward a minimalist modern idiom is seen in the use of extremely large panels of glass, thin, round tubular corner columns and i thin, flat roof plane. The concept of 'blurring the distinction between interior and exterior ' is evident in this space. ' In 1942 the Hamrick House was published in California Pictorial magazine in their Spring Edition Although the Historic Site Preservation Board may only consider and pass upon the exterior features of a property, it is worth noting that the original interior design of the Hamrick House was largely influenced by notable Palm Springs designer Arthur Elrod. Elrod was a close friend of the Hamricks and according to surviving family members was responsible for the interior design of the living room and middle bedroom, which were designed In deep rich tones accented with light furniture and fabrics furnished by Barker Brothers of Los Angeles. Although these interiors have been changed over the years, the original condition of the Interior of the home has been richly documented through a collection of interior photographs from the California Pictorial magazine article. John and Fannie Hamrick, who were from Portland Oregon, had been coming to Palm Springs since the 1930's and were avid golfers. John Hamrick, a member of the Motion Picture Pioneers Guild, was active in the motion picture industry since 1907 when he, opened his first nickelodeon in Kansas City. He owned a series of motion picture theaters in Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and Portland. In 1927 through his association with Harry M. Warner of Hollywood's' Warner Brothers Studios, Mr. Hamrick became the first motion picture house operator on the west coast to introduce sound to the motion pictures shown in his theater. 4 Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Report Case HSPB-50 Date April 26,2006 The Hamrick family owned the home for over sixty years. REQUIRED FINDINGS Section 8.05.020 of the Municipal Code provides the definition of an historic site. The Hamrick House meets the definition of an historic site in the following ways: 2. It is associated with lives of persons who made meaningful contribution to national, state or local history,- Mr- Hamrick's contribution to the evolution of the talking motion picture is of interest. Although his movie houses were not located in Palm Springs, his contribution in the northwest cities and states in which his movie houses were located could be considered relevant. 3. It reflects or exemplifies a particular period of the national, state or local history; I The Hamrick House is an excellent example of the regional Mediterranean/Spanish Revival architectural style applied to a residence typical in Palm Springs around the 1930's and 1940's. The home retains nearly all of its original exterior features, elements and materials, including original masonry walls, clay the roof, and steel sash casement windows. ' The 1947 addition reflects the transitional nature of the architect's work as he moved from traditional to a more modern architectural style in his work. 4. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; or The Hamrick House was constructed with a clay barrel tile hipped roof with extended eaves, exposed rafters, and painted masonry walls of low fire rusticated brick. The main living room roof structure is exposed to reveal heavy timber beams and tongue and groove roof boards. The use of locally found rock for walls and other elements as well as the manner in which the house is sited to cause minimal disturbance to the natural site conditions provides a good example for sensitive development on a hillside site. 5. That presents the work of a master builder, designer, artist, or architect whose individual genius influenced his age, or that possesses high artistic value, It is designed by prominent local architects Clark and Frey who are recognized nationally for their contribution to modern architecture. Its clean straightforward lines and generous use of glass hint at the evolution in architecture that would follow in Clark and Frey's work as their architecture moved into the modern idiom. The exception to this is a window in the kitchen which was moved from the corner and relocated four feet west along the south elevation Historic Site Preservation Board Staff Report Case HSPB-50 Date April 2$,2006 I The exterior of the structure is largely intact and in excellent condition. I j These factors make it worthy of consideration for designation as a Class 1 historic site. I t ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT t t In accordance with Section 15331 (Historical Resources Restoration/Rehabilitation) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed designation is categorically exempt from environmental review as the proposed designation meets the conditions outlined for preservation of a historic resource. NOTIFICATION Pursuant to section 8.05.140 of the Municipal Code of Palm Springs, All property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the subject property have been notified and notice was made in a newspaper of general circulation As of the writing of this report, staff as not received any inquiries on this matter.

Subcommittee. Bill Scott, John Williams, and idnneey Williams. Staff report,�n 5-25-06 Building Inspector Rick Van Tuyle visited site and confirmed the mural is protected with`p(ywood. He. requested construction superintendent to further protect it with Visqueen (plastic sheet) whi•h he agreed to do. Rick reinspected the week ending 6-2-05 and it was till in place. i Two photos passed round showing the protection in place and a photo of the mural in question. 1 Steve Ohren, majority owner, discussed the status of the project and explained that when the buildings ' were brought down to the "studs and foundation", his structural engineers advised that both were junsafe, did not meet code, an needed to be replaced. The mural is painted on the concrete wall and it wilt be saved. The City Buildm� department director advised that the railing was unsafe and out of code and would not be approved. Board advised Mr. Ohren to work with staff to develop a solution regarding the railings. Board discussed their concerns re: illegal demolitions, sup-committee members worked hard with project representatives to review all the delon documents, colors of the buildings, felt the project was an excellent renovation and restoration, but 119e problem was that two buildings were fully demolished without a permit. Once it was established the ,oundation and studs were not safe, did not meet code, and had to be replaced an application for full de olition should have been requested from the City. Board member S. Williams recommended an art c6uservator who can be brought in at the appropriate time to help with the mural. The decorative railing has also expected to be saved even though the openings were too large, perhaps a metal mesh behind i to prevent someone slipping through.

HSPB Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 8 Tuesday, June 13, 2006 NEW BUSINESS- (1) Orchid Tree Presentation (Application, Staff Report, and Historic Assessment sent with Board ket last month) se 5.1085 CUP TTM 34019 an application by Pali-Palm Springs LLC_ to sub-divide one lot for development of 34 residential condo units, one commercial condo unit comprised of a nine- room\h�otel, and one commercial condo unit comprised of a bar for accessory use to hotel, The proposal includes some demolition and renovation to a Class 3 Historic Site, formally known as The Orchi• Tree Inn, Cultural Study completed, 261 South Belardo Road, listed in the 2004 Historic Su y. (originally brought before HSPB June 14, 2005) Subcommittee: Bill Scott, James Hayton Staff explained that this a lication involves several items (1) demolish certain buildings; (2) restore certain buildings; and (3) con truct a new residential component. Photos displayed for review. Staff Report gave comprehensive report on important issues. Historic Assessment was also in Board i packet. Applicant has held se�,ral eighborhood meetings, presented to Architectural Advisory i Committee 6-12-06. AAC was mainl concerned with the new construction. Board asked about Page 5 first paragraph where it stated that the project is an "in-fill urban ' development and could potentially be eligib)) or,an in-fill exemption." Staff explained that in a CEQA process reg�Cding properties with historic significance, with lead agency, boards, and community input a decision\ as to be made on the environmental effect of the project. One of the things considered is if projec may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historic resource. The eutcome of ,ris meeting and from the AAC meeting will be some of the factors to determine whether there will be a CEQA document written or considered for a CEQA In-fill Exemption. Jan Ostashay, Director of Cultural Resources Management, Irvine and Santa Monica, prepared the Historic Assessment, and explained the process for reeparing the Assessment and the recommendations contained in this report. The full report was pro ded in the Board packets. Board questions and concerns: Properties B & C are listed as 5S3 which indicate local historical significance, yet property B is recommended to be demolished. Bungal was built in circa 1927. Two structures in Palm Springs pre-date that, both are on the Village Green a •d were relocated to that site. Potentially this is the third oldest building in Palm Springs. The assessmen of that property "Craftsman Bungalow idiom" (page 30 - third paragraph). Is this the only example of thi type of housing stock in Palm Springs? Is this something the Board should look into before considering emolition? Could it be moved to a different location - has this been researched? A display of historic.�nformation, photos, documents, etc. is suggested somewhere in this project for those buildings that cannot be restored. The bungalow is the most historic of those not being preserved and the statement on(,ppage 27) "wood frame construction and clad in non-original stucco" — could that stucco be removed reveal the original wood frame? The staircase-planters of the Premiere Apartments were possiblyZlesigned by Frey and should not be demolished. Historical Society has magazines and photos that�d,ocument Albert Frey was there the day of the move. There are several avenues that could be explored - example taking the stucco off the bungalow to see what's beneath. Metal window frames on\the bungalows. There is a Class 1 site (Church) next door that will be impacted the project. Boa a'rd member Jade Nelson suggested that item A and C be incorporated into the courtyard bungalows, because they are so close together in proximity, this should be further investigated for classification because of the dates built. HSPB Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 8 Tuesday, June 13, 2006 Board requested staff order the Secretary of Interior Standards (it can be downloaded). M Fisher, project developer, indicated that they will donate this bungalow if someone wants to move it. 1 will be a great hardship to continue with this project if maintaining this bungalow. A historic display ill certainly be considered. Allison Mas ett, project architect with Killefer Flammang, explained the process that will be used for the buildings bei restored. Materials similar to those originally used will be used when original materials cannot be used. Greg Smith, Palisa s Development, discussed and explained the color selections and the style of the new construction. Th colors are taken from the desert palette of the Albert Frey building...all colors are similar to Frey's origi al colors. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Bob Hobling commented that t e Orchid Tree Inn complex is very important project. The developer is trying to preserve the bungalows"'and trying to bring back the Albert Frey building and put some luster in it. This is going to a good and bet, r project— it should move forward. Roxann Ploss commented that the Generral Plan of 1993 emphasized the importance of the pedestrian quality in Palm Springs. The Tennis CluKrea has that quality. The design of this project has changed and gotten better, but in demolishing the buildings, the pedestrian corridor quality is lost. Urges developer to work around the Craftsman build\Ngs. Sheryl Hamlin complimented this Historic Asses ent, very thorough and one of the best submitted. It read like a guide to historic tourism in Palm Spring Felt that a ranking that encompasses the entire compound is important and urges that the entire comm�ound be restored. Frank Tysen commented that the Orchid Tree, as an entY�e property, should be a Class 1 Historic site. It is important nationally and has been listed in the National\ rust for Historic Preservation Travel Guide until last year and is a valuable asset to the Tennis Club aka and the City as a whole. This project should not have an exemption, should have a stay of demoliti \andlrbe designated a Class 1 Historic Site. Robert Imber re-iterated that his business is tourism relateitecture whose clients spend thousands of dollars in Palm Springs primarily for its historic and architecture. Urged the "Historic Site Preservation Board" to give more consideration to saving thi roject. PUBIC COMMENTS CLOSED Board Member J. Williams stated his concerns that there have been no photos o renderings found of the other buildings, so they are going to be replaced with new structures. Urges he Board to take more time to look at the Craftsman Bungalow, try to find more documents, photos, etc. to see if it could be brought back to it's original style and state. It is of concern to lose a 1915 building, en it has not been really researched with saving in mind. Item "B" was built in 1927 - again,•no photos, renderings, drawings of this building, but surely they could be found. Board member J. Williams moved that the Board not take any action today and to ask the developer and its agent to try to find more historical records of those two buildings in particular, do a little more research on returning the bungalow to its original look, and to come back to this Board next month. k)P '.9 I HSPB Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 8 Tuesday, June 13, 2006 Board member Jade Nelson seconded the motion with an amendment for a six-month stay of olition. Boa member J. Williams explained that his motion is not asking for a stay of demolition, is not sugges ng that the eventual outcome will be anything other than demolition, just asking for more researchh efore Board decides that this building will be lost, and asks that the public, Board members, the developer, and its agent try to find more information. It is troublesome that this Board is trying to make a deci�_on when all the homework does not appear to have been done. A stay of demolition is always a possib iity for a Class 3, but he does not feel it should be part of this motion. Board member Jim 1, ermann indicated he will second Mr. Williams' motion. Stated he likes the project very much, feels the\ estoration of the bungalows and the Frey buildings is outstanding, but is not comfortable moving forWard because it seems slightly arbitrary which buildings are significant and which ones are not. Evidence has not been presented to rule them out. Board member J. Williams agr ed with Mr. Isermann's statements. Chairman Hayton commented tha a also feels there is not enough emphasis placed on the Craftsman bungalow in terms of how that could be preserved or how it could be memorialized or moved. There needs to be a Plan B on that building. Doesn't want to see a fenced in, deteriorating site because the project is being held up. Board member J. Williams further commented that the applicant went before the Architectural Advisory Committee on June 12 and has to come back�o that Committee as well so another month is required. Matt Fisher, developer, indicated that the AAC liked the project, approved the site plan and the massing and scale of the projects with all components. Th re are some features to be re-analyzed regarding the new construction. Clearer direction at the beginni, would have been more helpful and would have avoided some of the delays that will now be occurring. That is the main reason this project was presented to this Board a year ago. Staff advised that the developer is not obligated at this point to do further study. The cultural resources survey done in April 2005 does follows all of the standards for, this kind of research. The only action available to this Board today is to make a motion to have these sites classified at a higher designation than Class 3. But, based on the findings in the reports presented�to the Board, not all these properties will qualify for higher designation. Beard member Bill Scott asked for further information from the cultur\from sment person. Ms. Ostashay discussed this project at length with Sally McManudie Palm Springs Historical Society who had pulled a large stack of documents and materials. Peter Ivl�oruzzi was contacted for additional documents and materials. Researched the UCLA and Huntington Libraries and the Whittier and UCLA photographic collections. Open to other suggestions to where info• at ion might be, but exhausted all information available. \\ Matt Fisher explained they are receptive to relocation, the reality is another matter. Not s ng, if re what the process is to relocate a building and it could take over a year to facilitate. Staff' indicated that there may not be a lot of time between Planning Commission meeti in fact there is no environmental document required. There may have been confusion in this statement;,it is not the role of this Board to make a determination on whether there is an in-fill exemption or not. HSPB Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 8 Tuesday, June 13, 2006 Board membe JQbn Williams restated the motion to ask the developer, the agent, and the historical assessor and everyon the community and around this table to try to find documentation particularly on Section A & B, do more ssment of the additions and how permanent they were, particularly again on the bungalow "A" and come k next month and make some decisions. It is premature at this time for this Board to recommend to the ouncil that we demolish these buildings. Board member Jim Isermann seconded and stated that this hsuld not be characterized as a negative response to the project. When this was presented in June 20D5,this Board did not have the community input which has been presented sine then, which would be irres sible to ignore. Asking for further documentation for another month is a reasonable response to everyone. Vote called for: 4 Yes, 3 No, 0 Absent, 0 Abstention to bring back more documentation vote at the July meeting. (2) Hamrick House -Application for a HSPB Class 1 Designation -950 875 West Chino Canyon Road Subcommittee: Jade Nelson, Sidney Williams Subcommittee Nelson and S. Williams' report after visiting the site recommended approval to move forward with the Class 1 designation. Board concerns were about the addition to the roof in 1981. Committee reported that it is not offensive to the house nor detract from the historic value. Board member Sidney Williams moved t0 recommend the Hamrick property become classified as a Class 1 Historic Site -#50 including all previously permitted work that includes the new pool. Mr. Riley abstained reporting that he did not have an chance to visit the site. M/S/C (S.Williams/J.Nelson) 5 Yes, 0 No, 1 Absent, 1 Abstention to recommend the Hamrick ro a and all previously permitted work as a Class 1 Historic Site -#50. Boa ember John Williams asked about the legality of classifying a site if a member has not seen it and if sta uld comment and/or research this. Staff reported that so cities' ordinances include this restriction; however, the Palm Springs Historic Preservation Ordinance doe of require a personal visit by those voting. This may be one of the items to list for review and possible revis to the Ordinance. Board member Bud Riley asked that this b ' ted on the work list. He doesn't see how a Board member could possible vote if they haven't seen th operty within the last 30 days. (3) 647 Granvia Valmonte - Demolition Case 3.2912 - Larry Armijo, agent for Char! Hertz, owner, for olition of a Class 3 structure down to rough grade, including pool at 647 Granvia Valmonte, Zone B, Section 11. A Staff Report on this project was in the Board packets. Color copies of the p os were passed around so the condition of the property is more evident. The building is designated Cla 3 by nature of its age being built in 1936_ There have been numerous additions and renovations over e years that completely obscure whatever was there in 1936. It currently resembles a typical track hous m Off r)n HSPB Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 8 Tuesday, June 13, 2006 'ye 1960s or 1970s- Nothing at the site or in the records would suggest that this house is important to pr erve. Staff recommends that the Board approve demolition. PUBLI COMMENTS: Larry Ar i'o, owner and developer, explained that they wanted to remodel the building, but the architects �Eac mended it be demolished, everything is a mishmash. New structure will face the mountains. Board took on, applicant can proceed with demolition- D. COMMITTEE\\REPORTS AND SPECIAL PROJECTS. i I (1) Media Outreach - (ohn Williams suggested focusing on the 53 properties from the Survey and ' as a Board send property wners a letter inviting them to consider having their properties designated I l as Class 1 Historic Sites. Bo rd concurred. I Staff reported that the brochure is out of stock, perfect time to revise. Board member Bud Riley has volunteered to work on this. If this rochure still represents a useful tool, Board needs to review, edit, and it can be printed. Board members need to worked on this to make it more appealing, interesting, and reduce property owners fear aboui�having their homes to be designated as historic sites. That is one of the biggest obstacles -- communlc ting positive opportunities. Board asked to email to staff the five (or more) most critical issues that should be included in the brochure. Mr. Riley reported he and John Williams met, Dave written copy, and copies will be sent to each Board member for review and input. Board concerns and suggestions were cost, appearance, post brochure on web site, concise information, possible VillageFest booth, potential history district map, etc. Sub-committee will be Bud Riley, John Williams, and Jade Nelson. Board member John Williams excused himself and left the meeting at 11:55 a.m. (2) Historic Site Plaques Update - Bud Riley showed two plaq,as as examples - one aluminum and one bronze for residential properties. Commercial property plaques are 20" x 20". City Facilities department installs the plaques. Why is Palm Springs the only oity�in the State that pays for plaques that cosy from $400 to $1,000? This should be discussed at the Wo kshop Ordinance needs to be changed or consider not paying for future plaques. (a) Indianoya Building, Class 2 Site #16 - 232 North Palm Canyon Drive Board member Nelson reported that the canopy has been destroyed\nd the owner should be contacted to have it replaced since this is a Class 2 site Photo passed around as to original condition with canopy. This is the reason a plaque was discussed. Owners need to be contacted to replace the canopy. Staff will send a letter to the owner listing the canopy and give them the opportunity to plaque and will copy the Board. Board members felt that plaques show that buildings are important. Maybe a%prorties don't need to be plaqued, but for Class 1 sites the city should continue to pay for the plaq�es - they are incentives to plaquing and showing the value of the sites. (b) Cork 'N Bottle - 343 North Palm Canyon Drive - James Hayton No report, newest owner has not returned calls. ( � ry i HSPB Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 8 TXBoard- da Je 13, 2006 I Preservation Foundation - Sidney Williams report that the Fall event on November 18 will g Tour of the Downtown Class 1 Historic Sites. Ms. Williams is going off the Preservation Nelson volunteered to report on this Foundations's future activities. (4) P.S. PE' torical Society-James Hayton - no report (5) P.S. Moder ommittee -John Williams - not present- no report (6) Architecture & Des19n Council -Jim Isermann reported that"Desert Holidays" will be shown on July 8 at 6 p.m. screening in 11�Annenberg Theatre. Tickets are $5 and $10. (7) Historic Preservation Ordinnaarge Revision Project The Board needs to really look at what hey can or can't take action upon and how to protect some of the Class 3 buildings here in Palm Spring This is where the work should be done to further the goals. Workshop goals need to be prioritized and s nd meeting time working on them. Board members made suggestions for additions the work list for the Workshop. New list will be distributed at next meeting. Board member S. Williams distributed a list of the Califorftat Preservation Workshops, copies will be given to all Board members. \\\ Outgoing Board member Jim Isermann expressed his thanks and apP�reciation for serving for six years. It is important to deal with the current Historic Preservation Ordinance- t takes courage to do what this Board is doing, staying focused on the issues is important. Staff handed out copies of the Appeal that was filed in relation to the HSPB vot on the Rael project at the last meeting. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 12:15 p.m. The ext regularly scheduled meeting will be July 11, 2006 in the Large Conference Room at City Hall.
