JOHANNA STREET, ARCHITECT Page 9 <br />The essential rectangular form and character defining features of the front façade are to <br />be retained in the proposed project. If the new addition were to be removed in the future, <br />the essential rectangular form and integrity of the historic building would likely be <br />slightly damaged in some locations where the addition meets the existing building. Minor <br />repair and restoration efforts would be needed to restore the building to its previous <br />configuration. The essence and integrity of the building would likely remain and as such <br />the proposed project complies with Standard 10. <br /> <br />Conclusions and Recommendations <br />The proposed project appears to meet the majority of the Redwood City Downtown <br />Precise Plan Standards and Guidelines and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for <br />Rehabilitation. <br /> <br />The following are recommendations for greater compliance and compatibility: <br /> <br /> Retain existing painted wording on the large metal sign with curved arrow and <br />coat with translucent grey so that the lettering reads through but it is clear that <br />Roy’s Cleaners is no longer in business. <br /> <br /> Remove the new brick column at the north corner of the El Camino façade. Retain <br />the painted sign on the Harrison Avenue façade and coat with translucent grey so <br />that the lettering reads through but it is clear that Roy’s Cleaners is no longer in <br />business. <br /> <br /> Mark all surviving historic features on the front facade (existing stucco-clad <br />concrete block exterior wall, the distinctive metal sign with curved arrow, the <br />brick veneer, wood louvered screen, storefront with glazed entry doors with <br />transom and fixed windows, brick planting boxes, and flat boxed awning) as <br />“existing to remain” on the construction documents. <br /> <br /> Dimension and show that 75% of the existing exterior wall is to be retained. <br /> <br /> Indicate on the drawings that the brick will not be sandblasted or treated with <br />impermeable coatings. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ATTY/RESO.0051/HRAC RESO 1100 EL CAMINO REAL - EXHIBIT A <br />REV: 06-05-023 JB <br /> <br />Page 9 of 13
