REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Acceptance of $10,000 in Meals on Wheels America, Meeting Unmet Need Acceleration, Gift Distribution for Elderly Nutrition Program Home Delivered Meals.

2. Resolution of Appropriation to appropriate Meals on Wheels America Meeting Unmet Need Acceleration Gift Distribution funding in the amount of $10,000 for the Elderly Nutrition Program.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for August 11, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Community Services & Parks Department is requesting Council approval to accept $10,000 in Meals on Wheels America (MOWA) Meeting Unmet Need Acceleration Gift Distribution grant for the Elderly Nutrition Program (ENP) for FY 2026-27. Funding will be allocated towards the ENP Home Delivered Meals (C2) program for older adults 60 years of age and older.

Philanthropist Mackenzie Scott made a $70 million unrestricted donation to MOWA, which then granted funds to local agencies. For Glendale, this donation will allow the ENP program to increase the number of staff hours for meal delivery in order to serve approximately 1,000 more meals. Over 80 unduplicated homebound seniors are in the ENP C2 program annually and receive a weekly delivery of seven frozen meals, which include an entrée, sides, bread, fruit, and milk/juice.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council accept the grant distribution and authorize the City Manager to execute all agreements, certifications, and documents necessary to accept and implement funding for MOWA grant funds in FY 2026-27 for ENP C2 program. 23 of 193

ANALYSIS
CSP has been providing meal service to older adults 60 years and older in the Greater Glendale Area since 1979 with grant funding administered from Los Angeles County Aging and Disabilities through the federal Older Americans Act. The ENP provides an important opportunity for social contact and is the only meal many seniors receive in a day.

The City’s current subaward agreement with the Los Angeles County for the ENP covers a one-year term beginning July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and requires a 12% cash match.

The ENP program is operated through the Senior Services Section which provides comprehensive, long-term services that include Congregate Meal (C1), Home Delivered Meals (C2), Emergency Meals, Telephone Reassurance and Supportive Services. The goal of these services is to assist the seniors in our community to maintain their independence and live in their own homes.

The ENP C2 program is for homebound older adults requiring food delivery assistance for physical and/or medical reasons and is substantiated by a doctor’s order before beginning program services. Program services include a weekly delivery of seven frozen meals that include bread, fruit, milk, and dessert. The Emergency Meals Program is part of Home Delivered Meals and provides three days’ worth of shelf-stable meals to clients enrolled in the program per fiscal year. The Telephone Reassurance Program is also a part of the Home Delivered Meals program, and ensures that seniors who are shut-in receive a weekly well-being call.

The City contracts with TRIO Community Meals, LLC (TRIO) to provide congregate and home-delivered meals catering services for the ENP program. The contract period is from December 1, 2022, through November 30, 2026.

TRIO has provided the City notice of its intent to exercise contract terms to extend the performance period an additional two years, to November 30, 2028. During this contractual period, the meal rate will increase by 6% per meal on December 1, 2026.

Staff will return to Council to amend the TRIO contract through November 30, 2028.

The cost per meal rate during this period is as follows:
7/1/26 to 11/30/26 12/1/26 to 6/30/27
Congregate Meals $4.56 per meal $4.83 per meal
Home Delivered Meals $4.75 per meal $5.04 per meal
On May 20, 2026, MOWA notified its member organizations that it had received a $70 million unrestricted philanthropic gift from Mackenzie Scott. As a result, MOWA established a funding opportunity through the Meeting Unmet Need Acceleration Gift Distribution grant to assist member organizations in expanding their capacities to meet the growing demand for home-delivered meal services. The City of Glendale has been a 24 of 193

5b3
26-90436

7 7
member of MOWA since 2013 and remains a member in good standing. CSP was awarded $10,000 from MOWA through a noncompetitive award process. Grant funds must be expended by June 30, 2027. The additional grant funds will support the City's ENP C2 program by helping sustain ongoing operations and address the continued increase in demand for meal delivery services.

MOWA grant funds do not require a cash match, providing additional financial flexibility to expand services. Staff will provide a final report to MOWA to provide a testimonial of services. Acceptance of the MOWA grant will enable the City to increase meal delivery driver hours to accommodate expanded delivery routes and meet the growing needs of Glendale's older adult population.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The Elderly Nutrition Program is administered by the Senior Services Section at the Adult Recreation Center, with an additional meal site located at the Sparr Heights Community Center. Program services are promoted quarterly through the Community Services & Parks (CSP) Leisure Guide, the CSP newsletter, CSP social media channels, and the City’s website. Outreach is also conducted in collaboration with local community agencies to increase public awareness of available services. The Senior Services Committee convenes quarterly at the Adult Recreation Center, with meeting notices and agendas posted and distributed to encourage public participation.

FISCAL IMPACT
MOWA Meeting Unmet Need Acceleration Gift Distribution grant totaling $10,000 was not included as part of the FY 2026-2027 budget process. Therefore, staff requests an appropriation as outlined below:

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Amendments to Existing Two Owner’s Engineer (OE) Professional Services Agreements (PSA) Supporting the Scholl Canyon Biogas Renewable Generation Project (Scholl Biogas Project).

1. Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 2 to the City’s existing PSA, Contract No. 8001327, with TRC Engineers, Inc. (TRC), to increase the contract amount by $250,000 to a new not-to-exceed amount of $1,750,000, for continued environmental monitoring and mitigation consulting services, and extending the PSA Term beyond the currently authorized contract expiration date of July 28, 2027, and until the final completion of the Scholl Biogas Project.

2. Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 4 to the City’s existing PSA, Contract No. 8001391, with Worley Group, Inc. (Worley), to increase the contract amount by $2,000,000 for a new not-to-exceed amount of $6,000,000, for continued owner’s engineer’s services, and extending the PSA Term beyond the currently authorized contract expiration date of September 19, 2027, and until the final completion of the Scholl Biogas Project.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Item
Approved for August 11, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TRC and Worley have and continue to provide exceptional OE services. Delays encountered during the design and construction of the Scholl Biogas Project (Project) have made it necessary to extend these services to ensure the continuity and integrity of the Project, as well as to ensure the eventual realization of the Power Plant.

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to extend the Term of the existing PSAs with TRC and Worley until the final completion of the Scholl Biogas Project and to add $250,000, and $2,000,000 to each PSA, respectively.
29 of 193

25c

9 2
While starting a new Request for Proposal (RFP) process to solicit proposals and hire new OE is possible, it is very implausible given the amount of time it would take to bring new consultants up to speed on the Project. This would have a detrimental impact to the Project schedule not to mention draw into question the integrity of the overall Project design and implementation.

ANALYSIS
With City Council’s approval in January of 2023, Worley was retained as GWP’s OE to manage the Scholl Biogas Project as well as monitor project design, provide equipment procurement supervision, assist with permits, address some environmental compliance activities, and assist with the Project commissioning. GWP also entered into a contract with TRC to provide biological construction monitoring for the Project as part of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, adopted by City Council on November 11, 2021.

In July of 2024, City Council approved amendments to increase the not-to-exceed amounts as well as to extend the terms of the TRC and Worley PSAs for an additional two years.

Currently, the Scholl Biogas Project remains ongoing, and continued assistance from both Worley and TRC is necessary to support Project completion. TRC and Worley have been responsive to GWP’s needs, have provided and continue to provide valuable technical support, and have demonstrated a continued commitment to the Project’s success. Worley and TRC have consistently demonstrated their commitment to excellence and have proven to be invaluable partners with GWP in the Scholl Biogas Project. Therefore, it is respectfully requested and recommended that the City Council authorize the extension of the Term of each PSA until the Project’s final completion and increase the not-to-exceed amounts of each PSA.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Not applicable.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of the proposed amendments to the two existing Owner's Engineer Professional Services Agreements is $2,250,000 for the remainder of the Scholl Canyon Biogas Renewable Generation Project. Funding is available in the approved Fiscal Year 2026–27 budget, and no additional appropriation is requested at this time. The City Council approved funding is summarized below:

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The action herein to authorize the extension of the two consultant PSAs and add funds is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and as such not subject to CEQA. Additionally, the Scholl Biogas Project underwent the required CEQA review as required by the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal Code Regs §15082(a)(1)), the City issued a Notice of Preparation of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Proposed Project on March 21, 2019. The Project DEIR was circulated for public review and comment from July 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020, for a 90-day period. Numerous public comments were received and responses to each public comment were drafted and incorporated into the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), which was prepared pursuant to the City of Glendale’s adopted Procedures for Preparation and Processing of Environmental Documents (Glendale CEQA Guidelines, 2016) and Public Resources Code §§21000 et seq., and the CEQA Guidelines (15 Cal Code Regs §15000 et. seq.). The FEIR was published on the City’s website on August 2, 2021. On November 30, 2021, the EIR was certified by the City Council.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
In accordance with the City Campaign Finance Ordinance No. 5744, Exhibits 1 and 2 contain the names and business addresses of the members of the board of directors, the chairperson, CEO, COO, CFO, Subcontractors and any person or entity with more than ten percent (10%) or more in the company proposed for contract.

ALTERNATIVE TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
: Do not approve amending the existing PSAs with TRC and Worley, requiring staff to prepare new RFPs and solicit proposals, evaluate, and recommend the award of new PSAs to new consultants. The process, which normally takes four to six months, will result in significant delays in the Scholl Biogas Project, in turn resulting in change orders to adjust the schedule of the contractors and increase the contractual amounts due to City-caused delays. Additionally, the delays will require City to purchase power from outside resources during the time that Project is not available.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Award of contract to Las Colinas Engineering dba Las Colinas Electrical to Furnish Materials, Equipment, and Labor for the Glendale Water & Power (GWP) Substation Battery, Charger, and Rack System Replacement Project.

2. Resolution of Appropriation.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for August 11, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
GWP received a proposal to the advertisement of Request For Proposal (RFP), issued on March 30, 2026. GWP staff evaluated the proposal based on the criteria stated in the RFP and determined that Las Colinas Engineering dba Las Colinas Electrical’s proposal meets the requirements of the RFP.

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to enter into and execute an EPC contract with Las Colinas Engineering dba Las Colinas Electrical to furnish materials, equipment, and labor as needed for the Substation Battery, Charger, and Rack System Replacement Project in the amount of $962,961, plus a ten percent contingency of $96,296.

ANALYSIS
GWP’s commitment to providing safe and reliable electric power to its customers relies on uninterrupted power supply to the utility’s critical control, protection, and communication equipment at the electric substations.

On January 13, 2026, City Council approved Resolution 26-02 to adopt RFP No. 3998 and direct the City Clerk to advertise for proposals. The advertisement for proposals was posted in the Glendale Independent newspaper and the City of Glendale website on February 2, 2026, and a mandatory virtual pre-proposal meeting was held on 42 of 193

February 17, 2026, with six prospective proposers in attendance. On March 16, 2026, the proposal submittal deadline was closed with one proposal received. GWP staff evaluated the proposal and determined that the bid did not meet clearly stated requirements in the RFP. The proposal was therefore disqualified and the bidder notified accordingly.

On March 30, 2026, another advertisement for RFP No. 3998 was posted in the Glendale Independent newspaper and the City of Glendale website and, a mandatory virtual pre-proposal meeting was held on April 14, 2026, with 17 prospective proposers in attendance.

On May 18, 2026, the proposal submittal deadline was closed with only one proposer, Las Colinas Engineering dba Las Colinas Electrical submitting a proposal. GWP staff evaluated the proposal based on the criteria laid out in the RFP and found the proposal met GWP’s requirements. The proposal cost is above engineer’s estimate of $760,000 mainly due to recent increase in the cost of batteries and chargers.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Appropriation of Community Impact Arts Grant (CIAG) Program Funds for a One-Night-Only 2026 Summer Concert in the Park.

1. Motion accepting Community Impact Arts Grant (CIAG) program funds in the amount of $6,200 from the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture for a one-night-only return of the 2026 Summer Concerts in the Park series; and authorizing the City Manager or a designee to execute all agreements, certifications, and documents necessary to accept and implement the funds.

2. Resolution of Appropriation to appropriate $6,200 in CIAG program funds from the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture for a one-night-only return of the 2026 Summer Concerts in the Park series.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for August 11, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture awarded Community Services & Parks (CSP) a Community Impact Arts Grant (CIAG) of $6,200 from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, for the 2026 Summer Concerts in the Park series. This grant also requires a 1:1 matching contribution. Due to FY 26–27 budget reductions, the full concert series was cancelled this year, and CSP is proposing to use the CIAG grant funds to bring the series back for one night with a single concert. LA County, through its Arts and Culture Department, provides grants to nonprofit organizations and municipalities in the County to support access to regional arts programming and deliver a wide variety of cultural services to County residents. The Board of Supervisors recognizes the powerful impact of the arts on the quality of life for residents in Los Angeles County’s 88 cities and approximately 140 unincorporated communities.

Community Services & Parks will use these grant funds to offset the cost of the single 2026 Summer Concerts in the Park event.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council accept and appropriate CIAG program funds in the amount of $6,200 from the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture for the one-night-only return of the 2026 Summer Concerts in the Park series; and authorize the City Manager to execute all agreements, certifications, and documents necessary to accept and implement the funds.

ANALYSIS
Through this one-night-only return of the 2026 Summer Concerts in the Park series, CSP continues to provide quality arts and cultural experiences in Glendale for residents and the community-at-large. In previous years, the Summer Concerts in the Park series featured multiple free, live outdoor music events performed by bands and music groups from across Los Angeles County. During the 2025 summer season, CSP hosted six concerts and one theater performance, all held on Wednesday evenings at Verdugo Park.

Each event was well-attended and warmly received by the community, with particularly enthusiastic feedback regarding the return of Theater at the Park. This program was funded through the General Fund, and has also received support from LA County's Free Concerts in Public Sites program.

Due to FY 2026–27 budget reductions, the full concert series was cancelled for summer 2026. However, CSP was awarded the Community Impact Arts Grant (CIAG) by the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture and is therefore proposing to use the CIAG grant funds to bring the series back for a one-night-only performance. The one- night-only concert will be held on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at Verdugo Park and will feature the community-favorite band, Past Action Heroes.

The one-night-only return of the Summer Concerts in the Park series will cost approximately $12,400, $6,200 CIAG award and an additional $6,200 from the Pacific Community Center facility operations budget in the General Fund that will be shown as the required 1:1 grant match. The grant funds were not appropriated as part of the FY 2026–27 budget process. The $6,200 CIAG award will be used for artist fees and production costs. The match will be met through staff time and general supplies necessary to produce the concert.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The target participants for this program include Glendale residents, City employees, community members and visitors from other cities all over LA County. CSP will advertise this special, one-night-only return of the Summer Concerts in the Park series through the Department website, newsletter, social media, and flyers at counters. While the series typically attracts approximately 4,000 guests each summer, staff hopes to draw a strong and enthusiastic crowd for this one-night-only event.

FISCAL IMPACT
The one-night-only return of the Summer Concerts in the Park series will cost approximately $12,400, $6,200 in CIAG funds and an additional $6,200 budgeted in General Funds will be shown as the required 1:1 grant match. The CIAG funds were not 49 of 193

included or appropriated as part of the FY 2026–27 budget process. Therefore, staff is requesting the appropriation of $6,200 in grant revenue, which will be used for artist fees and production costs. The match will be fulfilled through staff time and general supplies necessary to produce the concert budgeted in the Pacific Community Center facility operations budget.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Approval of Amendment to Design Build of the Fire Systems Improvements at Various City Facilities Project, Approve Amendment to Design-Build Agreement 1) Resolution dispensing with competitive bidding, incorporating additional project scope, and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an amendment to design-build agreement No. 8003204 with Glendale Fire Systems, Inc. (GFS), increasing the agreement amount by $98,453, and approving an additional 10% contingency of $9,845.
2) Resolution of appropriation to appropriate funds for the Fire Systems Improvements at Various City Facilities Project.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for August 11, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Fire Systems Improvements at Various City Facilities Project is currently in the final stages of construction. Improvements included the design and replacement of the fire alarm panels at the Police Building and the design and replacement of fire sprinkler piping at Fire Station 21/Verdugo Dispatch Center, both of which have been completed. The remaining component is the design and installation of a fire suppression system within the Radio Room located at the General Services Building (GSB). Staff recommend replacing the originally planned pre-action fire sprinkler system with a Clean Agent Fire Suppression System and relocating the automatic fire sprinkler main supply piping to bypass the Radio Room while maintaining sprinkler protection for the remaining second- floor areas as part of the design-build process.

The purpose of this item is to seek City Council's approval to amend the design-build agreement for this project and increase the amount, as well as appropriate additional funds for the project.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the resolution dispensing with competitive bidding and authorizing an amendment to design-build agreement with GFS, increasing the agreement amount by $98,453, approving an additional 10% contingency of $9,845, plus a resolution of appropriation providing adequate funding for the project.

ANALYSIS
On May 13, 2025, the City Council awarded a design-build agreement for the Fire Systems Improvements at Various City Facilities Project. The project is currently in the final stages of construction, with the fire alarm panel replacement at the Police Building and the fire sprinkler piping replacement at Fire Station 21/Verdugo Dispatch Center completed. The remaining project component is the design and installation of a fire suppression system within the Radio Room located at the GSB which have not yet begun.

As originally designed and awarded, the GSB Radio Room improvement consisted of the installation of a pre-action fire sprinkler system to provide additional protection for the City’s primary radio communication hardware and reduce the risk associated with the existing wet-pipe sprinkler system serving the space. The advantage of a pre-action system is that it keeps the fire sprinkler piping empty of water, and the pre-action valve will not fill the system with water until after smoke or heat is detected. This design prevents water damage from taking place due to a burst water sprinkler pipe or faulty sprinkler head.

Since the Project was first conceived, the importance and value of the equipment housed within the Radio Room have increased substantially. The Radio Room currently contains approximately $11 million in critical communications and emergency response equipment that supports essential City operations. A shortcoming of pre-action systems is that it won’t prevent water damage when the system is activated from small fires or false alarms.

Although a pre-action system offers greater protection than the existing fire sprinkler configuration, it does not eliminate the risk of water damage once the system is activated, whether due to fire or an inadvertent activation.

During the final design phase, staff and the design-build contractor conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the existing conditions, operational risks, value of the equipment housed in the Radio Room, and the potential impacts of a fire event or accidental sprinkler discharge. Through that process, staff determined that a Clean Agent Fire Suppression System would provide a more appropriate and protective solution than the originally planned pre-action system. The revised approach also includes relocating the automatic fire sprinkler main supply piping to bypass the Radio Room while maintaining sprinkler protection for the remaining second-floor areas.

The Clean Agent Fire Suppression System is specifically suited for spaces containing sensitive electronic and communications equipment. Unlike a sprinkler-based system, the clean agent suppresses fire without exposing equipment to water and without leaving residue, thereby reducing the risk of equipment damage, prolonged service disruption, and downtime following a fire event or system activation. Given the Radio Room's role in supporting critical public safety communications and housing approximately $11 million in essential equipment, staff determined that this solution provides a substantially higher level of protection for this critical facility.

The revised scope represents a more resilient and technically appropriate improvement than what was contemplated at the time of award. However, because this approach 55 of 193

310a
6 9
9 7
requires a different suppression system, associated controls, coordination with the existing fire alarm system, room-specific design considerations, and relocation of sprinkler supply piping, additional funding is required to complete the work.

Switching the project approach at this stage will increase the project cost by $108,298, representing a significant additional investment in the Radio Shop space. However, staff believe this investment is justified by the long-term benefits of reducing the risk of potential future losses. So far no resources have been used for the pre-action system project approach.

Approval of the requested funding will allow the City to proceed with the recommended fire suppression improvements, better protect critical communications infrastructure, reduce the risk of water-related damage to essential emergency response equipment, maintain continuity of City operations, and provide a more durable long-term solution for the GSB Radio Room.

The purpose of this item is to seek City Council approval to increase both the base agreement amount and the approved project contingency. The originally approved agreement amount and contingency are not sufficient to accommodate the additional scope of work associated with the revised fire suppression system, relocation of the automatic fire sprinkler main supply piping, and related modifications necessary to complete the remaining project component.

Given the current 85% completion level and thorough evaluation by the contractor and city staff, it is the collective assessment that all major cost and schedule impacts have been identified. The additional funding requested is expected to carry the project through to final completion.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The Public Works Department will coordinate with GSB Radio Room staff to minimize any disruption to operations.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed agreement amendment for the Fire Systems Improvements at Various City Facilities Project will cost $108,298, which was not included as part of the FY 2026-27 budget. Therefore, staff is requesting for an appropriation of $108,298 from the General Fund, undesignated fund balance. The appropriation request is outlined below:

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: 228 Spencer Street: Consideration of Glendale Register Nomination and Request for a Mills Act Historic Property Contract.

2. Motion to deny the request of the property owner to designate the residential property at 228 Spencer Street as a historic resource in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Public Hearing
Approved for August 11, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owners of 228 Spencer Street request that City Council list their property in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources and authorize a Mills Act historical property contract. The single-story, single-family residence was built in 1927 and is an excellent example of a Storybook substyle English Tudor Revival residence.

On January 15, 2026, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) reviewed the nomination and voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend to the City Council that the property at 228 Spencer Street be listed in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources as the Charles and Nellie Weaver House. HPC also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to enter into a Mills Act historic property contract with the property owner, including the work conditions approved by the commission, under Section 15.20.070A of the Glendale Municipal Code.

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council list the property in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources under designation Criterion 3 and authorize the City Manager to enter into a Mills Act historic property contract, with the conditions approved by HPC, between the City and the property owner under Section 15.20.070A of the Glendale Municipal Code.

BACKGROUND
Historical Background
228 Spencer Street was built by the original owner of the house, landscape architect Charles Erwin Weaver, for himself and his wife, Nellie, at a cost of $10,000. At the same time, his parents were building their own home just three doors down at 1411 N. Central Avenue. At just 21 years old, Charles E. Weaver was listed as the builder and owner of the house on the original building permit.

Charles E. Weaver was born in 1903 in Los Angeles. He graduated from Glendale High School in 1920 and subsequently attended University of California, Los Angeles.

Weaver started his landscaping business in Glendale in 1923 by planting lawns and flower beds. He later expanded into full landscape design, including trees, fences, and irrigation systems.

In 1927, he married Nellie Rule. They had two sons, both of whom later joined the family business. Mrs. Weaver was active in Glendale social life and women’s clubs throughout her lifetime. Charles Weaver passed away in Glendale in 1982, and Nellie Weaver passed away in 1987.

In 1933, the Weavers sold the home to Dr. Albert J. Meyer. The property was sold in 1963 to Ronald H. and Sally S. Henry. The property changed ownership a few more times before it was purchased by the current owners. Additional information about the history of other owners and occupants can be found in the nomination attached to this report (Exhibit 1). Based on information provided in the nomination and referred to in this staff report, the Commission believes the property is eligible under Criterion 3 due to the quality of its architectural design, as detailed in the “Findings of Eligibility” section below.

Architectural Description
228 Spencer Street is a Storybook substyle English Tudor Revival residence built in 1927. It is a single-story, single-family residence in the Verdugo Viejo neighborhood of North Glendale. The home is located on a rectangular lot with a slight slope towards the north.

The property is fronted with a wide green lawn and a curving flagstone walkway that leads from the driveway to the front door of the entry courtyard. Two juniper trees with twisted trunks flank either side of the courtyard wall. These trees were intentionally 66 of 193

311a
6 9
8 9
planted by the property’s original owner to further accentuate the whimsical storybook- inspired character of the house. A cast concrete bench and table made to look like tree stumps are situated under the shade of the juniper trees. The original reticulated driveway leads to a steeply pitched porte-cochere.

The house is irregular in plan, has a steeply pitched, cross-gabled roof, and is clad in textured stucco. The asymmetrical, yet balanced, front façade features half-timbering and exposed brick and stone details that emphasize the storybook character of the home. A steeply pitched front-gabled roof slopes almost down to grade level at the east façade and swoops into a flaring catslide over the front porch. A leaded glass picture window with a stained-glass crest is set within a wood-paneled bay and topped with a flared stucco hood.

A wood plank gate with iron strap hinges leads to a small entry courtyard, where a timber-trussed covered breezeway connects the porte-cochere to the courtyard. The primary entrance into the house is a rectangular paneled wood door recessed into a crenellated round tower flanked by small leaded glass accent windows. An arched gateway located under a second tower with a conical roof leads to the detached garage and rear yard. Windows consist of fixed and casement divided light wood windows and wood sills. A bay window and an oriel window are located on the west elevation.

Notable character-defining features of 228 Spencer Street include:
One-story massing
Irregular plan
Asymmetrical main façade

Alterations and Integrity
Overall, 228 Spencer Street has a high degree of historic integrity, with few changes since its construction. These are relatively minor and do not impact the character or integrity of the house.
Bathroom addition: In 1963, a permit was issued to add a bathroom to the east side of the house.
Enclosed patio addition: In 2007, a permit was issued for a 208-square foot enclosed aluminum patio at the rear.
Garage door: The garage door was replaced with the current aluminum door at a later time.

HPC and staff recommend the following Mills Act condition:

1. Replace garage door with more compatible wood garage door.

ANALYSIS
Finding of Eligibility
After reviewing the nomination submitted by the owner and its supporting documentation, as well as visiting the site, Planning Division staff concludes that the property appears to meet Criterion 3 of the eligibility criteria for listing on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources.

Architectural Significance [Criterion 3]
To meet Criterion 3, a property must “embody the distinctive and exemplary characteristics of an architectural style, architectural type, period, or method of construction; or represent a notable work of a master designer, builder or architect whose genius influenced his or her profession; or possess high artistic values.”
In addition, the preliminary findings of the Draft East-West Glendale Historic Resources Survey also find the property to be eligible for listing under Criterion 3. 228 Spencer Street is a distinctive and exemplary example of the English Tudor Revival style in the Storybook subtype. The home has an irregular plan and distinctive features, such as the dramatically pitched front-facing gabled roofs on the primary house and the port-cochere, the front entry courtyard, rounded towers, and architectural details that reflect the home’s whimsical and fairytale- inspired style that gained popularity in the 1920s in Los Angeles. Landscaping and hardscape features, such as the two twisted-trunk Juniper trees, cast concrete table and bench, reticulated driveway, and curved flagstone entryway, create a complete and integrated site planning that sets the property apart from other Tudor Revival style homes. Divided light wood casement, fixed, and leaded 68 of 193

511a
6 9
8 9
windows, half-timbering, and exposed brick and stonework emphasize the home’s storybook-inspired character. The property also retains high integrity of materials, design, workmanship, location, setting, and feeling.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
There are no stakeholders other than the property owner.

FISCAL IMPACT
Listing historic properties in the Glendale Register has no fiscal impact. However, future property tax savings to private owners of listed historic properties under Mills Act contracts will slightly reduce City property tax revenues from the general County tax levy received from each Mills Act property.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The project is exempt from CEQA as a Class 8 “Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment” exemption and a Class 31 “Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation” exemption pursuant to Sections 15308 and 15331 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it involves the designation and restoration of a historic resource.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
The names and business addresses of the members of the board of directors, the chairperson, CEO, COO, CFO, Subcontractors and any person or entity with more than 10% interest in the company proposed for contract in this Agenda Item Report are attached in Exhibit 4, in accordance with the City Campaign Finance Ordinance No. 5744.

ALTERNATIVES
1: Reject designation/listing of 228 Spencer Street on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, finding that the property does not meet Criterion 3 or any other criteria. 2: Any other alternative chosen by City Council.

so they would appear to grow directly into the structure itself, seamlessly blending architecture and landscape in true Storybook fashion. Now towering over 50 feet tall, these trees have far exceeded the typical height for their species and stand as living sculptures - an organic and irreplaceable part of the home’s historic identity.

Subsequent Building Permits:
1928 - Although the original permit called for a garage, a second permit issued in June of 1928 allowed the construction of a 19-by-20-foot garage, costing $250. It would have a cement floor, stucco walls, and a shingled roof. Mr. Weaver was the contractor.
1932 - Sewer work occurred in February of 1932.
1947 - A wall heater was installed in August of 1947.
1956 - A floor heater was installed.
1963 - A permit was issued to add a bathroom to the side of the house. It would contain three plumbing fixtures. G. O. Hupp was the contractor. The cost was estimated at $1,000. 1966 - A re-roofing job, costing $300, occurred in May of 1966. 1991 - A permit was issued to remodel the kitchen, including new cabinets, flooring, and lighting. The owner would serve as his own contractor for this project, valued at $8,000. 2007 - A 200-square-foot aluminum enclosed patio was permitted in February 2007. Qualitor of Canoga Park was the contractor. The cost was estimated at $8,000. 2023 - The basement was retrofitted through California’s Bolt & Brace program in 2023.

Copies of some of these permits are attached.
(Note: Permits for very minor alterations, such as water heater replacement, are not included.

Also not included are permits missing from the file or whose microfilmed or digital copies are indecipherable and not otherwise recorded or described in Assessor’s records.) Assessor’s Records:

The Los Angeles County Assessor currently estimates the square footage of the house at 2,155 with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Subsequent Owners and Residents:

In September 1933, the Weaver family sold their home to Dr. Albert J. Meyer. Sue F. Meyer took title in 1957. Dr. Meyer, a native of Iowa, was a physician and surgeon for 45 years, 20 of which were in Glendale, beginning in 1931. His obituary is attached.

In July 1963, Ronald H. and Sally S. Henry were recorded as the owners. 82 of 193

Warren A. Bowen took possession in March 1972. Sally S. Bowen joined her husband on title in June 1985.

In December 1988, Russell C. and Sharon W. Nields became the owners.

William S. and Frances E. Welker purchased the property in August 2006.

Notes: The property was advertised for sale in the February 6, 1963 issue of the Los Angeles Times. It was described as “French Norman, exquisitely beautiful and different; entrance and terrace artistically designed; Gothic living room ceiling, large dining room, three bedrooms and 8-by-14-foot lounge.” A copy of the ad is attached.

The courtyard of this home was featured on the 2012 Glendale Historical Society home tour which was called “Glendale’s Golden Ave.” A copy of the brochure is attached.

The entire home was then featured on the 2025 Glendale Historical Society home tour which was called “Treasured Tudors.” A copy of the brochure and docent notes are attached.

Significance:

This home is potentially eligible for listing on a local inventory of significant properties due to its unusual architecture, its good state of preservation, and its contribution to the Spencer Street neighborhood.

BENJAMIN W. SHERWOOD
Architect
Benjamin (Ben) W. Sherwood was a talented designer remembered for his rather whimsical and theatrical English and Spanish Colonial Revival residences created in the 1920s throughout the Los Angeles area. He was born in Indiana around 1901. By 1913, the family (he had six siblings) had moved to Glendale where Benjamin's father worked as a real estate agent. L ittle is known about Benjamin Sherwood's academic training. He married his Iowa-born wife Lois around 1923 and began advertising his services as both a designer and builder with an office at 313 South Brand Blvd. Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood also lived in Glendale at 423 Ross. By 1927, they were living at 734 Soi1th Spaulding A venue in Los Angeles with later addresses at 847 South Genesee Street and 2345 Talmadge Street.

Mr. Sherwood was probably a building designer and not a certified architect, although he did advertise himself as an "architect0 in the 1930 Los Angeles directory. That year's census, however, identified him as a "building contractor!' By 1940, he was living with his second wife on Division Street in Los Angeles.

Beginning in 1926, advertisements began to appear in the Los A11geles Times announcing houses for sale which Mr. Sherwood had designed and built on speculation. He was only in his mid-twenties at that point "Decorations, fixtures, hardware, everything has been carried out in perfect detair' enthused one ad for a house ai 756 South Ogden Drive which Mr. Sherwood called "the most original and individual Spanish type home in Los Angeles." The designer evidently strove for authenticity and the harmonious blend of elements in his period revival designs. To encourage an exclusive clientele, he favored the inclusion oflarge living rooms and master bedrooms and "unusual" enclosed courtyards. Another of his houses at 853 South Spaulding Avenue was advertised in late 1926 as "a real old English farm-house type,. to which no other Los Angeles home could be compared in its workmanship, "expert labor," and use of fine materials. Another Norman-style house at 930 South Ogden Drive was said in 1927 to have resulted from "an enormous amount oflabor and study on the part of the architect and builder/' One of his well-known apartment houses is the Sherwood Apartments at 3429 Rowena.

Other buildings attributed to Ben Sherwood's design and construction, but which he did not own, include: the John G. Mott residence at the now-vanished Crags Country Club near Calabasas-a 1930 Early California adobe featured in Architectural Digest magazine; Disney Court, a collection of "storybook-style" courtyard apartments built next to the Disney Studios at 2906 Griffith Park Blvd. in 1931, said to be the inspiration for the home of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the cartoon of the same name; and two Spanish Colonial Revival residences in Glendale: a romantic house for Eugene L.

Weaver at 1411 North Central Avenue (1927) and the Fred W. Gray house at 1345 Cordova Street-a majestic and ornate hillside structure (1928).

Ben Sherwood's name does not appear in the California Death Index, indicating he died outside the state.

THE GLENDALE HISTORICAL SOCIETY 2025 HOME TOUR
“TREASURED TUDORS”
SUNDAY, MAY 4, 2025

TENTPOLE NOTES
(Boxed information is optional – only if needed!)
NELLIE AND CHARLES WEAVER HOUSE 228 SPENCER STREET
Year built: 1927 Builder: C.E. Weaver
Architectural Style: Storybook with
Tudor influences
Original Owners: Nellie and Charles
Weaver
Architect: Possibly Ben Sherwood Original Occupants: Nellie and Charles Weaver

BACKGROUND AND CHARACTER-DEFINING EXTERIOR FEATURES
FIRST TENTPOLE (in front of house):

HISTORY
• This Storybook cottage was built by the original owner, a 21-year-old landscape architect named Charles Weaver.
• He built it in 1927. At the same time, his parents were constructing their own home just three doors down at 1411 N. Central. It’s a magnificent Spanish Colonial Revival Residence, and it’s now on the Glendale Re gister of Historic Resources, #105.
• The architect for the elder Weaver couple, Sarah and Eugene, was a renowned architect named Ben Sherwood. Sherwood designed in all kinds of Revival styles, but he was most famous for his Storybook houses , like this one. And the most famous of these was the bungalow court he designed in 1931 next to the former Walt Disney Studios on Griffith Park Boulevard.

They became known as the Snow White cottages because they were said t o be the inspiration for Snow White’s cottage in the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, made in 1937.
• We haven’t been able to find any documented proof that Ben Sherwood was the architect for this house, but we think it’s possible. 95 of 193

Weaver House, 228 Spencer Street
2 o First of all, he was building a house for Charles’s parents just down the street.
o Secondly, how in the world could Charles Weaver, a 21-year-old not known to have any architectural training, design such a complex house, with so much detailing?
o Most of all, this house is loaded with architectural features and details that were hallmarks of Ben Sherwood’s style.

ARCHITECTURE
[The person organizing the line on the street can point out the street number painted on the curb – with the crest insignia from the stained glass window on it.] • The current owner explained: A couple of years before the current owners arrived, one of those people that come around to paint your house number on the curb asked her if she’d like him to paint the insignia from the staine d
glass window next to the number. She said go for it! The current owners love it. A couple of months ago, another curb painter came by and said he’d repaint it. They said, “No thanks, we’ve got our crest!” Exterior Façade:
• We call this an example of Storybook style, with Tudor influences.

Storybook houses can also be referred to as Fairy Tale or English Period Revival, and they have many features in common with the Tudor Revival style.
• First of all, both Tudor and Storybook homes are asymmetrical with steepl y
pitched roofs. You will notice on this tour that all five homes share those characteristics.
• Have you seen any of the other homes on this tour yet? Or is this your first one? The houses on this tour that are strictly Tudor are linear, balanced, rather formal looking.
• But Storybook homes like this one are non-linear, irregular, with almost a hand-crafted appearance. The asymmetry is exaggerated.
• For example, the roof here is swaybacked instead of straight. Notice how on the right it slopes down almost to the ground and on the left, it swoops in what we call a catslide roof over the timber porch
.
96 of 193

Weaver House, 228 Spencer Street
3 • And these incredible juniper trees, almost 100 years old, are growing right into the house! Weaver was a landscape architect, and that was what he wanted.
• The plaster-finished walls and the half-timbering are Tudor features • But notice brick and stone details on the lower right corner of the façade, that make it look as if they’ve been left exposed? That makes the façade look more rustic, more Storybook.
• Look at the picture window under the central gable. The leaded glass is typical of both Tudor and Storybook. The window is set inside wooden panels, and notice the flared stucco hood and the decorative dovecote vents just under the peak of the gable – more fairy-tale style. • On the left side of the façade, you see the smaller gable forming the roof of the porte-cochère, and in front of that you can see a delightful faux bois table and bench made of cast concrete – original to the house. Again, very Storybook – they were made to look like tree stumps.
• The irregular flagstone path leads you under the timber-framed porch with a rustic wood plank gate with iron-strap hinges and into a most delightful courtyard. You can’t see it from the street because it’s hidden by th is
rough-hewn covered breezeway that connects the house and the po rte- cochère.

SECOND TENTPOLE (in courtyard):

Here we are in this magical courtyard, with the covered breezeway you saw from outside, two towers and many original features.
• The actual entrance to the house is in this crenellated round tower, with a paneled wood door set in a deep embrasure and flanked by small leaded - glass windows.
• The hanging lights and the one above the door are original. The sconces ar e vintage period-appropriate fixtures added by the current owners. • The door and the letter slot are original. Notice how low the letter slot is – as if the mail is delivered by elf!
• These two pieces of petrified wood were brought here from the house that Sherwood was building for Charles Weaver’s parents, and put on either side of the door, just to make it look more rustic.
• The gates and all their hardware are original.
• The tile and flagstone path are original.
97 of 193

Weaver House, 228 Spencer Street
4 Extra Information – only if needed
• This home cost $10,000 to build. That was higher than average for a house of this size in 1927.
• Charles E. Weaver was also known by his middle name, Erwin. He and his parents and siblings moved to Glendale from Los Angeles around 1921. Charles was a graduate of UCLA.
• Charles married the former Nellie Rule in Walnut Creek in 1927. A write-up of the wedding in the Contra Costa Times said that “a beautiful English home has been built for the bride.” So this was their honeymoon cottage!
• The area of Glendale where this home is located was known as “Casa Verdugo” when the house was built. Casa Verdugo was named after a noted restaurant that was established on the other side of Brand Boulevard in 1905. It was annexed to Glendale in 1926.
• The land on which this home is situated was part of Rancho San Rafael, granted to José María Verdugo in 1784. Following the Great Partition of 1871, the area was owned by Verdugo’s granddaughter Rafaela Verdugo de Sepulveda. In 1886, the Rafaela Verdugo de Sepulveda homestead was subdivided . • In 1926 the property was subdivided further. This subdivision created the lot for 228 Spencer, as well as the lot of 1411 North Central , where Charles’s parents built their home.

Nellie and Charles Weaver House
228 Spencer Street
1927
Built in 1927, this Storybook cottage with Tudor Revival influences exudes rustic charm.

Both Tudor and Storybook styles feature an asymmetrical form with steeply pitched roofs, but while Tudor asymmetry is deliberate, balanced and linear, Storybook homes feature a non-linear, hand-crafted appearance, with irregular, cobbled-together elements, as in this house. The steeply pitched, swaybacked roof reaches nearly to the ground on one side and swoops in a catslide across the timber porch entry on the other; the enclosed courtyard with two towers, wooden gates and flagstone paths creates a playful, almost enchanted Storybook feeling. Among the Tudor features of the house are the plaster-finished exterior walls with half- timbering. Dovecote vents under the central gable, irregular stonework embedded into the plaster on the façade and a narrow, arched porte-cochère add to the fairytale ambiance. Perhaps most magical of all are the twisted juniper trees flanking the front of the house and growing directly into it – by design.

Landscape architect Charles Weaver (1905-1982) built this Storybook cottage for his bride, Nellie, at the same time his parents, Sarah and Eugene Weaver, were constructing their own home just three doors away at 1411 North Central Avenue, a magnificent Spanish Colonial Revival residence now listed on the Glendale Register (No. 105). Only 21 years old, Charles Weaver listed himself as the contractor on the original building permit for his home.

The elder Weavers’ home was designed by renowned architect Ben Sherwood, who was particularly known for his Storybook buildings, leading to speculation that he also designed the newlyweds’ cottage. Although we found no documentation of this, it seems highly plausible based on the family relationship, the proximity of the two homes, Charles Weaver’s youth and lack of any known architectural training and the plethora of whimsical elements that were hallmarks of Sherwood’s style.

His most famous known work is a fanciful Storybook bungalow court constructed in 1931, built adjacent to the former Walt Disney Studios at 2906-2912½ Griffith Park Boulevard. Constructed for Lois M. Sherwood, it is rumored to have been the inspiration for Snow White’s cottage in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). 99 of 193

The wide view of the front façade showcases the
whimsical asymmetry and handcrafted charm
characteristic of the Storybook style, with a
steeply pitched roofline, half-timber accents,
and a lush garden path leading to the entry.

Towering twisted junipers, planted by original
owner Charles Weaver, grow directly into the
structure, creating an unforgettable and organic
fusion of architecture and landscape.

Viewed from the sidewalk, the home’s
expressive Storybook character is highlighted by
its swooping catslide roof, irregular timber
framing, and the whimsical dovecote vents near
the gable. The interplay of natural materials and
fantastical forms reflects Benjamin Sherwood’s
intent to evoke charm, mystery, and narrative in
residential design.

This closer angle reveals the enchanting stone
path curving through flowering beds toward the
arched entry porch, framed by heavy timber and
rustic plaster. The junipers, now over 50 feet
tall, drape protectively over the home,
enhancing the fairy-tale ambiance Sherwood is
known for and illustrating his signature use of
enclosed courtyards and natural integration.

Seen from the sidewalk, the home’s overall
composition displays Sherwood’s commitment
to visual storytelling - irregular lines, lush
gardens, and handcrafted textures. The two
monumental twisted junipers dominate the
scene, growing through the roofline and
reinforcing the cottage’s seamless integration
with nature.

Spencer Street Architectural Details
100 of 193

The view through the arched porte-cochère
emphasizes the enclosed, secret-garden quality
that defines so many of Sherwood’s Storybook
residences. The heavy tree limbs frame the
archway in a way that makes the home feel
cloistered, protected, and almost enchanted -
echoing European medieval village motifs.

The front entry to the courtyard is a classic
Storybook element: solid wood with iron
hardware and a small window, nestled beneath
a timber-framed porch. Marked with the original
address number, the doorway is flanked by
mature landscaping and the trunk of a juniper
that grows directly into the home’s façade - an
intentional design choice by Charles Weaver that
now defines the house’s living, organic
character.

This interior courtyard captures one of Benjamin
Sherwood’s signature design features: a round
turret with conical roof and arched gate entry,
evoking the look of a medieval cottage. The
space is enclosed yet open to light and air,
reinforcing the Storybook tradition of layered,
experiential architecture.

A view from beneath the covered breezeway
reveals rustic exposed rafters and hand-hewn
beams, hallmarks of the home’s handcrafted
character. The irregular plaster walls and
antique hardware contribute to the overall
impression that the home was grown more than
built.
101 of 193

The courtyard’s central door is framed by
irregular stonework and a cylindrical turret, both
softened by vines climbing the stucco façade.

The design evokes a romantic, old-world
sensibility that feels both cinematic and
intimate - an idealized cottage from another
time.

This wide view of the courtyard highlights the
interplay between rough-hewn wood, leaded-
glass windows, and carefully aged stucco,
demonstrating the harmony between structure
and setting that defines Sherwood’s work. The
courtyard functions as a hidden sanctuary,
offering a quiet retreat imbued with historical
texture and charm.

A close-up of the original weathered wooden
door handle to the courtyard open into
Sherwood’s trademark courtyard.

An original rustic lantern with glowing orange
glass adds storybook charm to the dark wooden
beams of the pitched roof.
102 of 193

A close-up of the original green wooden entry
door reveals an oxidized lion-head knocker,
richly patinated with age. This whimsical yet
noble detail reflects Benjamin Sherwood’s
affinity for narrative ornamentation and Old
World symbolism. The hand-wrought texture
and timeworn finish lend authenticity and
historical depth, reinforcing the home’s role as a
meticulously preserved example of 1920s
Storybook design
Framed by a dramatic stone archway, this image
draws the eye down a winding flagstone path
shaded by mature trees and flanked by
Sherwood’s textured stucco walls. The curved
arch and meandering walkway evoke the
immersive, storybook charm that defines
Benjamin Sherwood’s architectural vision. This
perspective highlights the interplay of structure
and nature - a hallmark of the Storybook style.

This image captures a defining architectural
hallmark of Benjamin Sherwood’s Storybook
designs: the rounded turret with hand-textured
plaster and deeply pitched roof, which juts
playfully from the front façade like a tower from
a medieval fable. Vines climb organically along
the stucco surface, softening the masonry and
blending built form with landscape - an
intentional element of Sherwood’s aesthetic that
reinforces the home's historical designation.

Looking down the shaded flagstone path beside
the home, this image highlights the layered,
experiential quality of Sherwood’s Storybook
approach. The varied rooflines, multi-paned
windows, and overhanging foliage invite a sense
of quiet discovery, while the irregular stucco and
timber details evoke the artisan craftsmanship
that distinguishes this 1927 cottage. These
characteristics reflect Sherwood’s enduring
architectural legacy.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: 1524 Ridgeview Drive: Consideration of Glendale Register Nomination and Request for a Mills Act Historic Property Contract.

2. Motion to deny the request of the property owner to designate the residential property at 1524 Ridgeview Drive as a historic resource in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Public Hearing
Approved for August 11, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owner of 1524 Ridgeview Drive requests that City Council list the property in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources and authorize a Mills Act historical property contract. The one-story, single-family residence was built in 1959 and is an excellent example of a Modern-style residence employing post-and-beam construction.

On April 16, 2026, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) reviewed the nomination and voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend to the City Council that the property at 1524 Ridgeview Drive be listed in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources as the William and Jane Conway House. HPC also recommended that the City Manager be authorized to enter into a Mills Act historic property contract with the property owner, including the work conditions approved by the commission, under Section 15.20.070A of the Glendale Municipal Code.

BACKGROUND
Historical Background
The house was designed by Bissel & Duquette and built for William J. Conway, an aeronautical engineer, and his wife Jane. The Conways and their six children lived there until 1983 (additional information about the family is provided in Exhibit A). The property was purchased by Benoit G. Malphettes, a photographer who exhibited in a number of galleries, and his wife Kathy. The Malphettes had the front and rear additions built in 1986-87. The third and present owner, Thomas McIntyre, has owned the house since 2006. He is a car collector and automobile parts manufacturer, who also collects modern furnishings that complement the design of the house.

None of the people associated with the property appear to have gained significance in the history of the city, state, region, or nation and the property does not appear to be eligible under Criterion 2 for listing in the Glendale Register.

Architect William Duquette (1924-2010) grew up in Southern California and served in the army during World War II. He attended Pasadena City College and transferred to USC during the period when the “USC School” of design was beginning to take hold, with many professors and students creating a distinctive architecture that merged social and environmental concepts with modernist design principles that led to distinctive designs throughout the region. Ultimately, Duquette obtained his bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley in 1951. After graduating, he opened his own firm and in 1957 entered into a partnership with architect George Bissell (1927-2010). Before the new partnership, Duquette designed several projects, including an excellent house built for his family that still stands in Pasadena.

Bissell was also a native of the area, earning his bachelor’s from USC in 1953 and opened his own firm, which focused on water systems, immediately after graduation and continuing until the formation of Bissell & Duquette. In addition to the Conway House, the firm designed the San Jose Medical Center (1957), the Saga Inn near Disneyland (1958 and recipient of an AIA Award of Merit), and several other projects in California. The partnership was short lived, dissolving in 1961. Duquette moved to northern California and opened new practice. Bissell opened a new office in Newport Beach and became active with the AIA, from which he received a lifetime achievement award in 2002. Additional biographical information about both designers is available in the application attached to this staff report as Exhibit 1.

Though Duquette and Bissell were clearly talented architects, not enough information is available to suggest that their designs influence the architectural profession, which is 145 of 193

3. Architectural Description
1524 Ridgeview Drive is a Modern-style single-family house with post-and-beam construction that was built in 1959. The single-family house is located in the foothills to the north of the Casa Verdugo neighborhood. It is quite simple in form and materials, but very dramatic in its visual impact which results from the dynamic composition of roof and walls that exploit the possibilities of post-and-beam construction.

The short driveway terminates at a carport, which is tucked under the west side of the house. The single-story living area and the yard sit above the street, with the carport giving the appearance of a two-story house. An open-riser stairway with an interesting railing leads up to the front entry. The material palette is simple, with floor-to-roof window walls alternating with solid panels of vertical tongue-and-groove siding.

The dominant feature of the house is its massive shallow-pitched, front-gabled roof, which spans most of the interior on either side of a high central ridge beam. This beam projects further toward the street (south) than the corners of the front façade, creating a prow shape that emphasizes the extremely deep eaves that wrap the front and sides.

The glazed wall at the entry is set back considerably, allowing the post-and-beam construction to read clearly at the underside of the roof, which is composed of more exposed tongue-and-groove siding. The window walls at the front façade follow the roof line, creating sloping upper panes that rise in height toward the ridge and are set above taller rectangular glass panels. This glazing is divided into upper and lower panels that are divided by horizontal wood mullions that create a datum line reflecting the roof plate line at the side facades, creating a visual flow that wraps the house and unifies the design elements. The room above the carport and to the left side of the entry porch is a 1987 addition that occupies an area that was originally an open deck, of which a portion remains.

The east façade facing the yard has large, fixed glass panels alternating with opaque sections of wood siding and sliding glass doors. This façade provides an excellent example of the indoor/outdoor living concept promoted by modernist architects during the mid-20th century. The fireplace is remarkable, with a stout, stucco-clad firebox that is surrounded by glass, projecting both inward and outward from the glazed wall. The cylindrical metal flue extends up from the firebox and through the eave, visible from the living room. The entire assembly provides a very literal expression of the mid-century attempt to dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. The roof eaves at the sides are extremely deep and the rafters, which project beyond the roof, each have an interesting notched detail. The west side of the house is close to the property line and features more wall area and less glass to provide privacy for the bedrooms and other more private spaces. At the rear, a lower gabled roof covers another bedroom and features a somewhat simpler appearance than the main portion. An addition with a flat roof was made at the rear in 1986 to provide an additional bathroom. 146 of 193

Alterations and Historic Integrity
Most portions of the Conway House feature a high level of integrity, and it continues to reflect key aspects of its style and construction period. The two additions have some impact on the overall historic integrity, but the Historic Preservation Commission found them to be thoughtfully designed and architecturally compatible. The small addition above the carport was built in 1987 and designed by engineer Bruce Resnick. It is almost seamless in its design, matching the materials and window patterns found at the rest of the house. A narrow section of the original deck and railing remains, helping recall the appearance of the earlier configuration of this area. The addition at the rear was designed by notable Los Angeles Modernist architect Frederick Fisher. It is tucked at the far rear corner of the house, has little impact on the overall design conception, and is in keeping with other modest additions found at other designated properties in the city. In its consideration of the nomination, HPC found that the two alterations to the otherwise completely intact house did not detract from its historic character or diminish its eligibility for designation.

HPC recommends the following work condition be included as part of the Mills Act contract:

1. Repair the wood deck and railing at the east yard.

ANALYSIS
Finding of Eligibility
After reviewing the nomination submitted by the owner and its supporting documentation, as well as visiting the site, HPC found that the property appears to meet Criterion 3 of the eligibility criteria for listing on the Glendale Register of Historic Resources.

Architectural Significance [Criterion 3]
To meet Criterion 3, a property must “embody the distinctive and exemplary characteristics of an architectural style, architectural type, period, or method of construction; or represent a notable work of a master designer, builder or architect whose genius influenced his or her profession; or possess high artistic values.”
1524 Ridgeview Drive is an excellent example of mid-20th century Modern architectural design utilizing post-and-beam construction. The residence was designed by Bissell & Duquette, whose educational backgrounds and other known works indicate a high fluency with the Modern style prevalent in Southern California at the time. The residence includes many characteristic features of the architectural style, such as the use of large expanses of glass, wood posts, exposed beams, vertical tongue and groove siding. The house is especially noteworthy for its dramatic roof form and very deep eaves with decorative rafters, as well as its masterful fireplace design. The front addition is well designed and represents a thoughtful extension of Bissell & Duquette’s design and the overall property retains a high level of historic integrity in terms of its location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, and feeling. In addition, the preliminary findings included in the Draft East-West Glendale Historic Resources Survey also find the property to be eligible for listing under Criterion 3.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
There are no stakeholders other than the property owner.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The project is exempt from CEQA review as a Class 8 “Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment” exemption pursuant to Section 15308 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it involves the designation and protection of a historic resources, and as Class 31 “Historic Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation” exemption pursuant to Section 15331 of the State CEQA Guidelines because any work required in the future will need to meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
