RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Approve the application from Julie Hansen to add the Alma Urmston House and Grounds to the County’s Local Official Register of Historic Resources, as recommended by the County’s Historic Resources Review Board (HRRB).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The County’s Historic Resources Review Board has reviewed the application submitted by Julie Hansen, and recommends that the application to add the Alma Urmston House and Grounds to the County’s Local Official Register of Historic Resources be approved. The Alma Urmston House and Grounds is located at 3191 Del Ciervo Road in Pebble Beach and property owner Julie Hansen has agreed to comply with Chapter 18.25 of the Monterey County Code.
Having considered all the written and documentary information submitted, oral testimony, and other evidence presented before the HRRB, the HRRB rendered its decision to adopt the findings and evidence to recommend approval of the application for historic designation, subject to the following findings:
Findings: The proposed designation of the Alma Urmston House and Grounds meets one or more of the review criteria set forth in Chapter 18.25.070 of the Monterey County Code specifically:
1. The resource proposed for designation represents the work of a master builder, designer or architect whose talent influenced a particular architectural style or way of life.
2. The resource proposed for designation exemplifies a particular architectural style or way of life important to the County.
Evidence: 1. Application and other materials in file 1601 Alma Urmston House and Grounds.
2. Historic Resource designation criteria as found in Chapter 18.25 of the Monterey County Code.
3. Oral testimony and HRRB discussion during the public hearing and the administrative record.
The Alma Urmston House and Grounds listing in the County’s Historic Register would require the property owner to comply with Chapter 18.25 of the Monterey County code that requires that the County’s Historic Resources Review Board review and approve any proposal to alter the exterior of the structure prior to issuance of a building permit. The applicant requests this action and consents to the restrictions placed on the property under Chapter 18.25.
