OLD BUSINESS:
CARLSBAD FOUNDERS' DAY
Clint Phillips reported staff is working on an agenda bill
to take forward to the City Council for approval in mid-
September.
Chairperson Howard-Jones stated she had talked with Glen
McComas and he was pleased with the progress. He did
suggest that the committee be expanded to include more
people from the community. The name of Jack McClellan was
suggested, since his grandfather was the first Mayor.
CARRILLO RANCH/GRANTS
Clint Phillips summarized his report attached to the agenda,
stating that a temporary shelter had been recommended to
cover Deedee's House to protect it against any moisture
damage due to winter rains. He said the cost would be
approximately $800 and Grant money could be used for this,
but it would reduce the amount available for actual
stabilization work.
Mr. Phillips oaid that some work has been done to protect
the house and staff feels that should be sufficient for the
time being. It was also felt that some damage could be done
to the house in adding a shelter over it.
Commissioner Christiansen felt there should be some way to
provide money from the Parks budget, since they were
responsible for taking care of the property.

OLD BUSINESS:
Mr. Phillips said that there had been no meeting of the
Carrillo Ranch Planning & Development Timeline Subcommittee.
Chairperson Howard-Jones asked staff to write a letter
suggesting a meeting be set up.
CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY PROJECT
Clint Phillips reported that the agenda bill will go to
Council tomorrow night on the Consent Calendar. The
research will start immediately thereafter.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
Clint Phillips said there was nothing new to report, as the
City Attorney is still reviewing this. Chairperson Howard-
Jones asked staff to invite the City Attorney's office to
the next meeting if they were not able to comment on this by
then.
CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY REPORTS
Chairperson Howard-Jones requested staff to ask Planning
Department for a report on this, or send someone to the next
meeting .
MAPS AND SITE RECORDS OF CARLSBAD'S CULTURAL RESOURCES
Clint Phillips said he had talked with Recon yesterday and
the computerized index is complete and should be received
within the next few weeks. He said the original documents
could be kept in the Library, and there would be a need to
duplicate all the documents.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION INCENTIVES PROGRAM
Commissioner Aharoni reported that he had reviewed the
programs by other cities and also material given to him by
Clint Phillips. He said there are different programs for
residential and commercial, as well as private or public.
He felt staff should categorize the landmarks listed by this
Commission, and then question among the Commissioners just
what they want to preserve; whether just the landmarks or
both landmarks and points of interest. He said the types of
programs are varied and the ones he felt more successful
were the historic rehab funding programs to assist the
owners with money incentives. This is done with low-
interest loans or deferred loans or grants.
Commissioner Aharoni said that there is a good tax break for
commercial buildings and the owners who preserve such
buildings. He spoke about facade easements, where the
facade is given to the City and the City uses its own funds.
Also, when a building is preserved, the City can give the
right to put it on different property to preserve it. It
has to be for income-producing property.
Chairperson Howard-Jones mentioned the Preservation
Foundation Workshop to be held and Commissioner Aharoni will
check his calendar to see whether he can attend.

Commissioner Aharoni said he would report further at the
next meeting.
Chairperson Howard-Jones stated she would help categorize
the landmarks. She said she would like to have an
indication from the owners of the property what they would
like to do, and felt a letter to them would be helpful.
Clint Phillips cautioned the Commissioners that this item
has not been addressed by the City Council, and felt it
would be better to do internal research and not contact the
owners on a formal basis. There are other factors to be
considered first.
Chairperson Howard-Jones asked Commissioner Aharoni to make
a formal report and send it to the City Attorney.
SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS
There were no reports.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
Chairperson Howard-Jones had put together the information on
the Shaw-Shindler Housing for review.
Clint Phillips reported there is a plan to re-locate the
building at 1101 knowles Avenue. This is on the "C" list.
Commissioner Christiansen said it is the desire of the owner
to have the building taken off the property, as he wants to
develop that and the adjoining lot. She said the Historical
Society was to put the building on Christiansen Way to be
kept until it could be made into a museum structure. A lot
of work needs to be done to bring it up to code, and it
would just be stored there and would be closed up. The
Historical Society must have the permission of this
Commission in order to move the structure there. It would
be set on a foundation and the Historical Society would
paint it and put a new roof on it. There would have to be
permits and City approval to move the building, but the
owner is anxious to do this. Commissioner Christiansen said
it would not be used--just housed--and the two add-ons would
not be part of the original house to be maintained.
Roy Blackford asked whether the structure was eligible for
the National Registry, and Clint Phillips said it had been
moved once, and is not eligible for State or Federal
landmark designation.
This item will go to the Design Review Board on September 5,
1990.
The consensus of the Historic Preservation Commission was to
go forward with this project.
Commissioner Christiansen will check on the Mary Young house
on Christiansen Way as a point of interest. She will also
contact Steve Densham with regard to the Twin Inns
designation.
