  • Z-32-20-6 August 10, 2020
    Staff Report: Z-32-20-6 August 10, 2020 INTRODUCTION Z-32-20-6 is a request to establish Historic Preservation (HP) overlay zoning for the property located at 333 West Gardenia Drive known historically as the Ozell Trask Residence. Maps and photos of the subject property are attached. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that rezoning request Z-32-20-6 be approved. BACKGROUND In April of 2020, the City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office received a request from Douglas and Kate Thoene, owners of 333 West Gardenia Drive, for HP overlay zoning for the property. At the Thoenes’ request, the HP Commission voted to initiate HP zoning for the subject property on May 18, 2020. BACKGROUND HISTORY Ozell Trask was born to Isaac and Nina Trask in Wakita, Oklahoma in 1909. He received an A.B. from Washburn College in Kansas in 1931 and an LLB from Harvard Law School in 1934. He initially practiced law in Kansas City before moving to Arizona in 1936 seeking health benefits from the arid climate as he was suffering from tuberculosis. He met his wife Barbara Draper in a sanitarium in Tucson and the couple married in 1939 (Arizona Daily Star Oct. 3, 1939:14). The couple moved to Phoenix and Trask was admitted the state bar of Arizona in 1940 (Arizona Republic Mar. 7, 1940:3). Trask practiced independently before establishing a law firm with Irving Jennings, Charles Strouss, and Riney Salmon in Phoenix in 1942. Originally known as Jennings, Strouss, Salmon and Trask, the firm continues to operate today as Jennings Strouss (Arizona Republic Jun 22, 1969:53).

    behavior research center’s Rocky Mountain Poll NEWS RELEASE Contact: Earl de Berge RMP 2002-III-07 Research Director FIFE BEATS EV FOR LAST PLACE IN THE HEARTS OF ARIZONANS. BARRY, WES, CARL AND MO ARIZONA’S MOST REVERED PAST POLITICIANS Phoenix, Arizona, August 13, 2002. As Arizonans prepare to decide on their leaders for the future, we asked them to assess 17 prominent leaders from the state’s past, ranging from Barry Goldwater to J. Howard Pyle. Only two have left the public with a bitter taste in their mouths; governors Fife Symington (R 1991-1997) who resigned from office after being convicted of fraud, and Evan Mecham (R 1986-1987) who was impeached. It is perhaps ironic that Symington, who helped force fellow Republican Mecham out of office, is today held in even lower regard than is Mecham. His significantly lower ratings may trace to the public views that while Mecham was a bumbler and out-of-touch with the times, Symington was arrogant, untruthful and engaged in corporate practices that harmed investors, an issue very much on the minds of voters today. As of the time of this survey, six of ten say their view of Symington is unfavorable. At the other end of the scale and held in very high esteem, are Barry M. Goldwater (R - U.S. Senate from 1952 to 1964 and from 1968 to 1987), and Morris K. Udall (D - Congressman from 1961 to 1991). Both men sought the presidency and were respected for their political philosophies, legislative skills and for their wit and honesty.
