Baron Subject: Request for Continuance/Oasis Building Class I Historic Designation Dear Mr. Ready: Thank you for taking my call this afternoon regarding the upcoming hearing on potential designation of the Oasis Building in downtown Palm Springs as a Cl2SS I historic site. As I advised you, I represent the owners of the building who are adamantly opposed to a Class I designation. The owners were just notified less than 2 weeks ago of this hearing and I was contacted only yesterday afternoon. Pursuant to our earlier conversation, I request a continuance of at least 30 days so that 1 may have the appropriate time to evaluate the building and provide convincing authority to City Council why the building should not be so classified. For example; I am advised that the building owners have an LOY from a very reputable restaurant chain, the terms and conditions of which would require the construction of an outdoor dining patio similar to what exists at Okura. Under a Class I designation this modification would be unlawful. I am also advised that the building has undergone numerous and significant modifications over the years so that the building has lost most, if not all, of its historic significance, if any historical significance exists. I need time to research these modifications, when they were done, and what was modified. I will be bringing forth other legal arguments but have not had time to fully evaluate the situation. Thank you so much for your courtesy in continuing this hearing and giving the property owner adequate time to prepare for such an important hearing.
