Mr. Padilla, representative of the owner was present. Board discussed that the front elevation was the most important and wondered if a compromise could be reached with the owners that the front windows be replaced with wood and the replacement vinyl windows could be recycled elsewhere on the house. Applicant stated that the original shutters were going to be replaced because the original shutters were not working. The replacement windows are different sizes than what was original. Motion made by Mr. Schafer that the project of replacing the original wood windows with vinyl sliders will create a significant adverse impact to the historic sulvey area. Seconded by Mr. Kulwiec.

Ms. Doner presented the staff repoft on PM36. Staff Cultural Heritage Board Item 3 Ventura County Cultural Heritage Board July 11, 2011 Minutes Page 2 of 3 recommended the Board find that the handicapped accessible ramp project located in the rear is not an adverse impact and would meet the Secretary of Interior Standards. Staff considered the proposed interior remodeling would not have an impact because PM36's interior no longer retains historic integrity. Schafer discussed his concerns with Tristan Tozer of SHPO that the NaW is not doing a good job of maintaining the historic integrity of the outside of the building. Tristan Tozer is in charge of processing Section 106 comments on the Navy's projects. Schafer stated he is comfortable with the previous motions made for the PM36 project and made a motion that the rear concrete ramp (completed without SHPO review) is not an adverse impact. Seconded by Mikkelsen. Motion passed 7lO. Schafer made a motion that the front concrete repair is more than a repair, because of the changes to the missile monument but has no adverse impact. Mr. Schafer wished to note that the project's scale should have been reviewed by SHPO. Seconded by Havens. Motion passed 7/0. b) Proposed Pool to be located in the rear of the property on a Site of Merit located at 1414 Grand Avenue, Fillmore area, Certificate of Appropriateness, Project No. 11-349 Staff presented the staff report and recommendations of approval.

Schafer wanted to see more historic context from the Navy regarding these buildíngs built during WWll. Havens stated that the military has to make changes all of the time and asked if a tour was necessary. Schafer stated that a tour was not necessary.

Ventura County Cultural Heritage Board July 11, 2011 Minutes Page 3 of 3 b) Proposed Poft Hueneme Navy Renovation of Building PH104 (Seabee College) Project Ser N45VCS/0311, C¡ty of Port Hueneme, CA, Project No.11-346, Section 106 Environmental Review Statf presented the staff report regarding the Navy's request to replace all existíng wood casement windows with vinyl windows, replace all doors, hardware and frames with fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) doors and frames, removal of wood stairs and replace with steel stairs; removal of concrete stoops and replace with handicapped accessible concrete ramps, underground the utilities, and reroof the second floor and install new roof framing to increase roof pitch of the first floor using fish scale green asphalt composition shingles. Schafer stated that the Navy's own information - lntegrated Cultural Resources Management Plan (ICRMP) Historic Context, Section 4.2.4 (page 39, fourth paragraph) indicated how important the Port Hueneme Seabees and their training facility were to World War ll, Korean War and the Vietnam Conflict. Schafer stated that more information was needed and that he disagreed with the statements made by the Navy historian/archaeologist that the Seabee buildings were not important to the Cold War historic context. Schafer motioned to include the following comments to be sent to the Navy regarding this project: . Proposed roof design raises the roof pitch and uses fish scale shingles not in keeping with the original architecture; . Project architect appears to be unfamiliar with the Secretary of lnterior ' Standards for Rehabilitation; . Replacement of the existing windows with vinyl windows not in keeping with the original type and design; and . Creates new stairs of incompatible design. Fernandez seconded the motion.
