Page 5 of5 Exhibit A Section I: Current Use Describe Current Use: The current use of the subject property consists ofa single-family, one-story dwelling (1,599 sf) plus a 2-car garage detached garage. The dwelling, built during the 1940s and expanded in the 1960s consists of 1,599 sq. ft., and is not historic and no historic/important architectural features are present. The residence and garage are of wood construction with wood siding. The building is less than 30 feet tall. The buildings would not be altered as part of the requested exemption. Section 2: Proposed Project Describe Proposed Project and Use: The proposed project involves the relocation of the historic "John A. Donnelly" cottage (circa 1880) from 829 W. Bartlett Street (Los Angeles / Chinatown) to the subject property. The house consisting of an approximate 700 sq. ft. structure (see plans for exact amount) will be moved in one piece via a heavy moving transport company (i.e., Cen-Cal Heavy Moving of Montclair). The historic residence (consisting of folk Victorian design with gothic elements) would be used as an auxiliary guest quarter. Its style of architecture and size will compliment an existing stock of neighboring properties/cottages of similar year built, sq. footage, and architectural design. The proposed historic house's placement would be in view of the other historic houses on the street. Section 3: Explanation of Hardship Why do you believe that a hardship exists for which an exemption should be granted: The Donnelly House (once owned by early Los Angeles pioneer Prudent Beaudry) is a rare vintage of Victorian housing as pointed out in the Historic Resource Evaluation as attached. The house is located on a site that will be constructing new housing. Accordingly, the Donnelly House is slated for demolition unless moved. Approving the exemption accomplishes the three things: (I) it allows for therelocation of important, historic architecture to Garvanza, (2) it protects a historic resource from being demolished, (3) it paves the way for new housing in Chinatown by the existing owner. It should be noted that the existing owner of the historic house is not affiliated with the applicant for the exemption, and has no ownership in the Garvanza property. The exemption is necessary for us to obtain our building permits and relocation permits so that we can commence the move. Given the circumstances of the proposed demolition if the house is not moved, time is of the essence.
