A. REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE
A LETTER OF OBJECTION TO THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION
REGARDING NOMINATION OF THE MILES BATES HOUSE LOCATED AT
73697 SANTA ROSA WAY TO BE LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF
HISTORIC PLACES (APN 627-102-024).
Director Weber recused herself from this item, stating she serves on the Board of
the Historical Society and left the Council Chamber.
Mr. Greenwood stated the Miles Bates house is located on Santa Rosa Way,
which is an architecturally significant house, a one-of-a-kind building with a very
unique roof. The house is owned by the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert
Redevelopment Agency. He went on to say the Council had expressed a desire
to see that house renovated and preserved in it's architecturally significant state,
and in support of that request, staff started the process to have a local historic
designation placed on the house. However, the Historical Society has hired an
expert to have the house listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Staff
has spoken to several renovation experts interested in mid-century modern houses
through a recent open house, which was very successful. Those experts, including
staff, felt the ridged rules to restore it to its exact original condition were not
financially viable. The experts and staff view this as a sympathetic renovation,
preserving the unique characteristics of the house, while making it a viable
useable building. Therefore, staff does not recommend supporting the national
designation.
Chair Harnik noted she spoke with Executive Director Lisa Vossler-Smith from
Modernism Week, who said the open house was wildly successful and there is a
lot of interest in the house, adding she felt staff was going in the right direction.
Director Nestande moved to, by Minute Motion, authorize Executive Director to execute
a letter of objection to the Office of Historic Preservation regarding nomination of the Miles Bates
House located at 73697 Santa Rosa Way to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places
for APN 627-102-024. Motion was seconded by Kelly and carried by a 4-0 vote (AYES:
Jonathan, Kelly, Nestande, and Harnik; NOES: None; ABSENT: Weber).
