Dear Sirs,
We have lived next to this property for over 50 years, at 1243 Rossmoyne Ave., and have never had an issue.
The mass of this proposed addiƟon is concerning because it will block the sunlight coming into our kitchen. We also have concerns about protecƟng our Oak tree near the property line at the side of our garage.
Thank you for your consideraƟon,
Bruce F. DeVine and Pamela DeVine

HPC Commissioners,
Thank for your great work to preserve and protect our historic districts and resources in Glendale.
As a Rossmoyne Historic District resident within 500 feel of 1239 Rossmoyne property and a past HPC Commissioner, I wanted to carefully review the proposed additions/changes and provide my design expertise for your consideration.
I agree with the Staff conditions that are mentioned in the report, but also feel that there are other aspects of the design that are incompatible with the Spanish Colonial Revival style that should be addressed before approving the project. I have provided my comments in the attached PDF with more photos than words to best bring your attention to these features. In my opinion, the project should be redesigned and brought back for final review and approval.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks for your careful review and consideration to protect our Rossmoyne Historic District.
Desiree Shier

Chair Chris Cragnotti
and Members of the Historic Preservation Commission (via email) Re: Agenda Item 7(a) April 18, 2024 / 1239 Rossmoyne Avenue.
Dear Chair Cragnotti and Commission Members,
As two of the official proponents of the pending Bellehurst Historic District, we write to you in support of the letter submitted by Lorna Vartanian, President of the Rossmoyne/Mountain HOA, regarding 1239 Rossmoyne Avenue. We agree with each of her points and urge you to find as she suggests.
We also wish to note that the second story proposed addition to the home is highly visible from multiple angles: the driveway side, the northern or uphill side, as well as from East Mountain Street at the intersection of Sinaloa Drive. The full set of proposed expansions, massing and modernized architectural modifications to 1239 Rossmoyne will dramatically alter the views and character of those locations, within the Rossmoyne Historic District.
While trees, sadly, are not equally protected, the proposed removal of the Pecan tree at the back of the lot is heartbreaking. The fully mature tree is somewhere between 50-100 feet tall and easily could date back to the original housing tract. Given the fact that Pecans can live between 200-300 years, the tree may well have been planted on the original Rancho. It is home to a massive bird’s nest and provides a glorious view from Rossmoyne Avenue, Cortez Drive, East Mountain Street, North Carmen Drive and Del Rey Drive. At a EXHIBIT 8
2 time when tree canopy is so environmentally essential, this tree should be treasured, not bulldozed.
We hope the Commission will allow for some renovations while honoring the historic character of this home and the Historic District in which it's located. We appreciate your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Clark
Beth Marlis
