Greg Hulsizer, President of the San Clemente Lifeguard and Junior Guard Foundation provided a presentation on the project.
Chair Camp opened the item for public comment.
There were no public comments.
The Design Review Subcommittee (DRSC) discussed the project, and made the following comments either individually or as a group:
Will it stay bronze or will it patina over time?
Will the base of the sculpture be used as a seat?
How sturdy the sculpture will be against vandalism?
Against the sculpture being located by the pay station.
Should have DG to avoid dead grass around it.
• The sculpture will enhance the view, not block the view.
Design Review Subcommittee Regular Meeting Minutes April 24, 2024 Page 2 Suggested a mock-up at the location to see what the best angle is.
Keep it away from the bluff because of landslides.
The platform of the sculpture should be organic.
Wanted to make sure the sculpture is life-size.
Brought up the female swimsuit. Should it be one-piece or two-piece, whatever is most consistent with the time period?
• Suggested the sculpture should be about 20 feet away from the sidewalk. • Spoke about the lighting element, up-lighting is the best solution.
The Subcommittee recommended the applicant move forward with the project.
