REPORT TO HISTORICAL AND LANDMARKS COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Title
Consideration of a request for a plaque for the property at 710 Madison Street
Report
BACKGROUND
The homeowner at 710 Madison Street, Timothy Konkol, submitted a request via e-mail on February 17, 2021 to the Historical and Landmarks Commission (HLC) to receive a plaque for the property. The e-mail is attached for reference (Attachment 1).
DISCUSSION
The residence at 710 Madison Street is currently listed on the City’s Historic Resources Inventory (HRI) and has a Mills Act Contract. The property does not currently have a plaque identifying the construction date.
The Historic Resource Survey (DPR 523A) prepared in 2012 estimates the construction year as 1911 (Attachment 2). Since the construction date is an estimate, staff recommends that the plaque read circa 1911.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
PUBLIC CONTACT
No public comments have been received at the time of preparation of this report.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
Approve a bronze plaque circa 1911 for the property located at 710 Madison Street, and allocate funds to cover the cost of the plaque in the amount of approximately $200.00.
