Fernanda Roveri, AICP
Principal Planner
City of Monterey
Dear Ms. Roveri:
As you requested, this letter will act as a response your June 6 comments on the California DPR523 report I submitted for the Bruguiere Cottage (APN# 001- 471-017) at 817 Martin Street in Monterey, for a Mills Act Application.
The four families who owned and resided in the residence, sequentially between c.1909 & 1969, Bruguiere, McAulay, Snook & Powers, were identified under the criteria of Association, for their collective contributions to the civic & cultural development of Monterey in the areas of residential development, Medical innovation, architectural & isitor serving excellence over time, while in residence at the historic property. See below for more specifics of their contributions to quaiif,, for the criterion of Association.
The subject property qualifies for historic listing under Criterion 3, as a "significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction." In this instance a residential building designed under the direction of Adel Bruguiere, wife of the developer of Bruguiere Park's housing development in Monterey's Doud Tract, employing both Vernacular & Spanish Colonial building forms, possibly as a model home, reflecting popular styles of their day, which could explain the look of the Bruguiere Cottage, which was a social gathering place prior, dduring & after its sale to the Drs. McAulay. Again, see below for further reference to the McAulays ownership.
The third owner was Dr. John Snook & his wife Harriet. Snook had several parcels in Bruguiere Park, one of which was owned by his son, Walter P. Snook, a master builder who specialized, in Spanish Revival Style homes in the Monterey area. He and his wife Ruth were listed in 1927 as livins 817 Martin with Harriet Snook.

Council Regular Meeting, 8/19/2025, Item No. 8., Item Page 22, Packet Page 157 Builder Snook constructed the large "Monterey Type" residence for a Mrs. Walter Thompson in 1930, at700 Colton St., just above the Bruguiere Gate, and his own home at 850 Martin St., as well as 818 across the street from the subject property in1930, and yet another at 830 Martin St. Snook was Chairrnan of the Monterey Board of Education in the late 1930s, before entering the service during WWII. See below for fuither information on the Snooks.
According to public records, Harriet Snook was in residence at 817 Martin St. until c1951. The property was listed in the 1953 Polk Business Directory for Monterey County as vacant. By c.1952 the property had become the home of Albert Gallatin Powers, son of Frank Powers, co-founder of the Carmel Development Company. & Jane Gallatin Powers, a fine artist who helped found the Carmel Arts & Crafts Club in the first decade of the twentieth century. "GaI" Powers was a noted restaurant entrepreneur who leased the historic Stokes Adobe in Monterey which became a leading dining establishment for the hospitality industry in Monterey, winning Holiday Magazines "Distinctive Dining in America" award for two consecutive years. The subject property was showcased in a full page Monterey Peninsula Herald article in June of 1956 extolling the historic character of the residence, with a group of interior photographs showing original interior features. Powers early passage at 61, in 1969 constituted the end of the sequence of significant community figures in ownership & residence of the Bruguiere Cottage at 817 Martin Street. Please See below for further details of the civic contributions of the collective occupants, over time, researched & prepared by the current owner, Mr. Gregory Bernard.
As to your question about a2024 wing addition, there was none made. The only identified changes in the public records are the 2009 addition of the permitted three-bay garage, and confirmation of the "like for like" rehabilitation of the Monterey Colonial open porch deck and railing. As noted in the DPR 523 no permits have been found for the one-story addition off the rear of the vernacular wing of the building envelope. with the tower feature, nor was there a2024 Monterey Revival wing addition. Only the undated one-story rear addition off the Vernacular wing should be considered non-historic, as no permit has been found.
The garage extension was permitted in2009. By design and estimated date of construction, c.1905 the horseshoe chimney feature should be considered having artistic value, again no builder has been identified for the building envelope or the brickwork thereon.

The record shows it was designed, at least in part by a woman, Adel Vesta Bruguiere. & retains a majority of its original design features, as constructed c. 1905. Its Historic association with significant local owners should qualiff it for historic listing.

on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The City Council could choose not to appoint a representative for the AMP Board. The result would be the City of Monterey would not have a voice in local government access programming.
DISCUSSION:
Overview
Access Monterey Peninsula, Inc. (“AMP”), which began using the name Access Media Productions around 2017 to better reflect its purpose, is a nonprofit 501(c)3 public access television station organization that manages public, educational and government access production, programming, and promotion in the Monterey Peninsula area. AMP was formed as the result of extensive public input that was part of the franchise renewal process undertaken by the City of Monterey between 1995 and 1998. Authority to provide these management services was initially granted by an Agreement in 1998 between AMP and the City of Monterey. Since then, AMP has signed a renewal agreement with Monterey, and similar agreements with the cities of Marina, Seaside, and Pacific Grove.
Services to City of Monterey
Since 1998, the City of Monterey has contracted with AMP to provide for PEG Government Access programming on the Monterey Channel on cable TV channel 25, streamed LIVE and ondemand on the web. The Monterey Channel streams live and recorded meetings of City Council and Board and Commissions meetings, as well as town hall events and other special city programming. AMP produces nearly 130 meetings live and on-demand for the City of Monterey each year. Since 2020, AMP services also stream City programming live and ondemand on the City’s YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/cityofmonterey.
AMP Board of Directors
The AMP Board of Directors currently has five (5) members, and the Board can have as many as nine (9) members. Four (4) designated directors are assigned, one (1) each, from the cities of Monterey, Marina, and Seaside from among the members of each city council, as well as one (1) from the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District from among the members of its school board. The outstanding members are elected at-large.
The Board’s role is to lead the nonprofit in the areas of organizational direction, policy, strategic planning, and fiduciary accountability.
The AMP Board meets quarterly on the 3rd Monday of the month in-person and via Zoom, at 12:00 p.m. Meetings are held at the AMP headquarters, 465 Tyler Street in Monterey. Their website is https://www.accessmediaproductions.org/.
Council Regular Meeting, 8/19/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 2, Packet Page 172 №11/25
The City’s representative on the AMP Board has historically been a staff member of the City Manager’s Office. However, the AMP Bylaws specify that the City of Monterey’s representative on the AMP Board of Directors be a City Councilmember. As such, the City Council is asked to appoint Councilmembers to serve on the AMP Board as representative and alternate, and authorize the City Clerk to administratively update the City Council’s appointment chart approved on August 5, 2025.

Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The City Council and/or the NCIP Committee could choose not to move forward with the proposed discussion. However, this is not recommended as a discussion strengthens the collaboration between Council and NCIP Committee.
DISCUSSION:
Established in 1988, the Neighborhood Community Improvement Program (NCIP) directs tourist-generated dollars directly back into the City's residential neighborhoods. Under a Charter Amendment, at least 16 percent of the money collected through hotel taxes (Transient Occupancy Tax) is allocated to neighborhood and community improvements. Every fiscal year, a committee consisting of Monterey residents from each of the 15 City neighborhoods considers all nominated projects and makes a recommendation to City Council on which projects should be funded. Several public meetings are held to discuss the nominated projects before projects are voted and ranked by the NCIP committee. The NCIP committee recommendation is subsequently reviewed by Council and Council approves the funding for recommended projects.
This joint meeting is designed to strengthen collaboration and foster open dialogue between the City Council and the NCIP Committee. The last joint meeting took place on July 18, 2024, where NCIP Committee members expressed interest in having City staff present a comprehensive overview of the City’s infrastructure needs and proposed projects.
Council Regular Meeting, 8/19/2025, Item No. 11., Item Page 2, Packet Page 175 №11/25
On June 3, 2025, the City Council provided guidance regarding submissions and prioritizing of projects that address public health, safety, and essential facilities. Overall, the project concepts presented by staff were mentioned to reflect City Council’s priorities. Council expressed their confidence in the NCIP committee to review the proposed projects that align with the City’s infrastructure needs.
Following the request from NCIP members to present current city needs, staff made a presentation to the NCIP Committee on June 11, 2025. During this meeting, staff presented project concepts for collaboration with NCIP representatives and answered questions. After this meeting, staff worked with NCIP neighborhood representatives to collaborate and submit project nominations that addressed several infrastructure needs.
The meeting will follow the format outlined below:
• Opening remarks by the Mayor
• Presentation by the NCIP Committee Chair
• Update from the NCIP Coordinator on current project status and available funding • Open discussion and dialogue
The following topics were gathered from the discussion on July 18, 2024, NCIP members’ feedback and City Council comments. This is not an inclusive list but provides items that offer opportunities for discussion:
Council priorities for the upcoming cycle
Resident engagement
Project prioritization after project approval
NCIP Member term limits
What perspectives Council can offer NCIP
How to minimize NCIP project backlog / staff capacity Adding maintenance to NCIP projects (requires Charter amendment) As of the July 31, 2025 deadline, 73 NCIP Project nominations were submitted for NCIP Committee review during the upcoming 2025/26 NCIP cycle which starts with the first review meeting on September 3, 2025. The backlog of NCIP projects is not a new trend and it is something that has been a challenge over the course of the NCIP. The current staffing shortage experienced by the Engineering Division has also diminished the capacity to deliver projects.
Staff has procured consultants, interns, and advertised extensively to fill vacant positions.
The City will continue to actively partner with the NCIP Committee to identify opportunities for addressing aging infrastructure in our community. The NCIP Committee has consistently supported both City facility improvements and right-of-way projects that deliver broad community benefits. Strengthening this collaboration will help ensure we address infrastructure needs in a way that reflects shared priorities and maximizes positive impact.
