5. Historic Resources Commission Comments Commissioner Lutz • Asked how a project like the one at Bishop & Bristol could proceed in consideration of the potential for light rail or street widening and how would the project be affected. Ms. Nelson advised that the remodel is allowed as the use is not changing. The City is still working with OCTA to determine the right-of-way Ifne. She noted that when OCTA decides on the alignment for Centerline that will determine which properties will need to be acquired and after they certify the EIR for the project then property acquisition ' should begin. Discussion was held regarding resident notification. Commissioner O'Callaohan • Requested an update on the project at 1811 N. Heliotrope. Ms. Nelson provided an update and advised that it was scheduled for Planning Commission review on September 8. Vice Chairman Schaefer Requested update on the project at Bishop & Bristol, Ms. DeRosa provided an update and outlined what the intent of the property owner is. Commissioner Schaefer expressed disappointment that the remodel project had been allowed to proceed as it completely deviated from the original Prairie style of Structure. • Requested clarification of the demolition permit process. Ms. Otto provided clarification of the process. Commissioner Schaefer asked Mr. Harrah what the demolition schedule was. Mr. Harrah responded that he had no comment. • Noted that the House at Bishop and Bristol is moving closer to the street and asked if there was a setback requirement.
