DISCUSSION Advisory Body Recommendation At its March 25, 2002 meeting, the Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC) recommended the City Council add 1902 Chorro Street to the Master List due to the house's architectural style, craftsmanship, and the property's association with John Chapek, an architect/builder who made significant contributions to San Luis Obispo. The property is located near the historic Railroad District (See Attachment 2). The Committee unanimously nominated the property to the Master List after reviewing historic and architectural research prepared by the property's owners and residents, Wayne and Leslie Terry (Attachment 3). The Committee determined the property met the City's Historic. Preservation Program Guidelines criteria for historic designation and recommended that Council add the property to the Master List of Historic Resources as a Type 5 property — "The Bittick Residence," under the following eligibility categories: I. Architectural Criteria 1. Relative purity of a traditional style. 2. Rarity of existence of the single-story,Gambrel Roof style structure. 4. Degree to which the structure has maintained its architectural integrity. U. Design 2. Overall attractiveness because of craftsmanship and aesthetic value, though not necessarily unique. 4-1 Council Agenda Report—Historic nomination of 1902 Chorro Street Page 2 IV. Architect/Builder 3. The house was designed and built by John Chapek, an architect/builder who, in terms of craftsmanship,made significant contributions to San Luis Obispo. VI. History-Person 3. The house is associated with John Chapek, an early San Luis Obispo builder and Town Council member who made early, unique or outstanding contributions �to important local affairs or institutions. Situation/Background The CHC held two public hearings on the request. At the first hearing on.January 28, 2002, the Committee nominated the property to the Contributing Properties List, leaving open the possibility of Master List eligibility if additional historical documentation was provided. At a second hearing on March 25, 2002, the CHC considered additional, detailed information provided by the applicant and nominated the property to the Master List. There were no public comments at the meetings. The process for historic listing involves several steps. Any person may request that a property be added to the Master List of Historical Resources or the Contributing Properties List. The CHC, Architectural Review Commission, Planning Commission or City Council may also initiate listing. The CHC then reviews the request to determine whether it merits formal consideration. If the CHC finds a property merits consideration, a public hearing is scheduled and the applicant and property owner are notified. In evaluating a property's eligibility for the Master or Contributing Properties List, the CHC uses city-adopted criteria. If the CHC finds the property meets one or more of the eligibility criteria it forwards a recommendation to the City Council, who makes the final decision on historic designation. In making these decisions, Council considers the CHC's recommendations, public testimony and supporting documentation. The Council's action is then final and if the property is designated historic, its historic status and legal description are recorded with the County recorder. Site Data Property Owners: Wayne and Leslie Terry Zoning: R-2 General Plan Designation: Medium-Density Residential Site Area: 7,310 square feet Site Description: Level site with one house and detached garage. The site is bordered by residential uses on three sides. The property is not located within a historic district. Architectural/Historical Data The applicants have been restoring the house since they purchased it in 1999. The house was built in 1912 by and for Mr. John Chapek, a prominent local contractor and member of the San Luis Obispo Town Council. Mr. Chapek also built the larger and more ornate house next door at 843 Upham Street which is on the Master List of Historic Resources as the Chapek House. CHC 4-2 Council Agenda Report—Historic nomination of 1902 Chorro Street Page 3 historic records on this simple, two-story wood frame house brief, but were considerably expanded upon by the property owner's recent research. A building permit was issued to John Chapek as "Owner and Petitioner" for the house November 18, 1912 and it was completed in early to mid- 1913. The inventory describes it as a `Bam Style" wood frame house built on a slightly raised foundation. The overall building shape is irregular and the roof is a combination of gambrel and hip shapes. Roof material is composition shingle and the exterior walls are wood clapboard siding. The house's gambrel roof gives it a barn-like appearance, with knee brackets, trusses, and decorative vents as architectural accents. There are large windows under the gambrel eaves of varying proportions. The gambrel roof is a relatively rare roof form in San Luis Obispo. It is a style developed in the mid-18th century in England and adopted and modified in Germany. The style is said to have evolved in response to levying taxes based on the number of floors in a building. The gambrel roof (as with the French "Mansard" roof) allowed almost as much room as a full story but did not count toward taxable floor area. The property owners' research turned up four houses in San Luis Obispo with gambrel roof styles, and of these, 1902 Chorro is the only single-story example. Its gambrel roof shows Dutch Colonial style with German influences, possibly reflecting the fact that Mr. Chapek learned the building trade in Vienna, Austria. Not surprisingly, because of the house's proximity to the Southern Pacific Railroad yard, all of the home's residents, from its completion in 1913 to 1991 were railroad employees or their spouses. A check of the City Directories from 1914 to 1932 shows the following residents of 1902 Chorro: 1914 — B.F. Opers, E.R. Opers, Frank B. Akers, and William D.. Marshman, all listed as "Brakeman, S.P. Co.". 1916—Mrs. Frank B. Akers. 1928 —A. Bittick 1931,32—Alfred Bittick and Mrs. H. Green During this period, City directories show that Mr. Chapek lived at 843 Upham Street and the City's 1910 Index to Registered Voters lists Mr. Chapek as residing at 843 Upham Street. Although Mr. Chapek initially owned and built the house at 1902 Chorro Street, available records suggest that he actually lived next door and rented out the house at 1902 Chorro Street. City records verify that Mr. Chapek served on the San Luis Obispo Town Council from May 1917 to May 1921. The house's most prominent residents, Afred and Rose Bittick, were active in community affairs. Mr. Bittick was a Southern Pacific Railroad engineer and active in various civic groups. 4-3 Council Agenda Report—Historic nomination of 1902 Chorro Street Page 4 Types of Historic Resources There are two types of historic resources in San Luis Obispo. Individual buildings that have significant historic or architectural value are called "Master List Properties." These are the most unique and or important historic resources and merit special recognition and protection. A property may be listed as a Master List property if it meets any of the criteria in the Historic Preservation Program Guidelines. Criteria for listing include; architectural significance (style, design, age, architect); association with important person or event; or environmental context or role as a community landmark. Considerations include the architectural integrity, context and condition of the structure. The second type of historic resource is the "Contributing Property." A Contributing Property is defined as a structure "built before 1941 that.has retained its original architectural style and when viewed in the context of its surroundings, contributes to the historic character of the area" (City Council Resolution No. 6424 (1988 Series). While most contributing properties are located within historic districts, the CHC and the City Council have determined that they may be located anywhere in the City if they meet the above criteria. An example is the Van Gordon Residence at 1408 Johnson Avenue —:just outside of the Old Town Historic District — that was added to the Contributing Properties List in August 1997. Effects of Historic Listing Once properties are added to the Contributing Properties or Master List, physical changes to the property are possible, provided that such changes promote the structure's original architectural style and character. Significant exterior architectural changes are referred to the Cultural Heritage Committee to determine whether the changes are consistent with City standards and to meet CEQA requirements. Under either list, the property is deemed historically significant pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. Demolition, reconstruction, or relocation of historically significant structures may be considered a significant adverse environmental impact. Significant adverse impacts can be avoided if the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings or the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings (1995; Weeks and Grimmer) are followed. Unlike Master List Properties, Contributing properties are not eligible for the Mills Act Program. As designated historic resources, however, they may be eligible for other preservation incentives including flexible zoning and building standards, tax credits, and historic rehabilitation loan programs. Eligibility of 1902 Chorro Street for historic nomination The house appears to have retained much of its original architectural character and detailing and both house and grounds have been well maintained. The property has several recent improvements, including new landscaping, vinyl picket fence, concrete driveway strips; new roofing and exterior paint. At some time in the past, it appears the original wood foundation was 4-4 Council Agenda Report—Historic nomination of 1902 Chorro Street Page 5 replaced with a concrete foundation and front entry stairs. These changes do not, however, appear to have significantly altered the house's footprint, scale or "character-defining" features, including roof style, exterior wall and window design and materials and architectural details. Based on its age, architectural character, and significance to the neighborhood, the property appears to meet the standards for Contributing Properties listing. ALTERNATIVES 1.

Attachment 3 1902 CHORRO ST REQUEST FOR NOMINATION TO MASTER LIST OF HISTORIC RESOURCES { APPLICANTS: WAYNE AND LESLIE TERRY 4-11 Attachment 3 INTRODUCTION 1902 Chorro is a 90 year old,single story,single family home with a detached garage. It is located just outside the railroad district boundary and has historic Master List homes neat door and across the street. Current owners Wayne and Leslie Terry have been working since 1999 to rejuvenate the home while maintaining its period character. Most'of its original attributes:windows,doors,trim work,built-ins, fireplace,claw foot tub,etc.are intact and functioning. According to city records,this home was designed and built by John Chapek(Attachment A). The San Luis Obispo County Library contains a 1917 edition of the History of San Lds Obispo County and Environs,which on page 569 (attachment B),describes Mr. Chapek. To summarize,he was born in Bohemia and educated and apprenticed in the field of carpentry in Vienna. I& Chapek came to San Luis Obispo in 1893 and became a significant local builder being credited with the Miles Station schoolhouse,the Charles Brewer block,the old Masonic block and the Reedy hotel—one of the earliest three-story buildings-in town. Mr:Chapek became a member of the San Luis Obispo City Council in 1917. City records indicate that following its construction, 1902 Chorro was rented by Mr. Chapek to Southern Pacific Railroad employees and it was subsequently sold to Alfred Bittidt,an engineer with SP who was returning to San Luis Obispo. According to the December 13,1912(Attachment C) Tabun,Alfred and Rose were married in San Luis Obispo,but immediately moved to San Jose presumable because of Alfred's position with SP as a fireman. Once Alfred advanced to a position as an engineer,he and his wife returned to her native home and purchased 1902 Chorro. This was probably due to the its convenient location to the train station. Alfred and Rose moved into 1902 Chorro with Rose's mother("Mrs. H. Green'according to city records),as at the time she had recently become a widow. Mrs.Green's maiden name was Maria Zoila Dolores Avila and according to her grandson games Green—current Sacramento resident) went by the name of Zoe. The Avila family has a length history within San Luis Obispo County. Alfred,Rose and Zoe all lived at 1902 Chorro until their deaths. It should be noted that Zoe Green (Avila)was a lifelong resident of San Luis Obispo County(1868-1955)homesteaded near Hearst Castle with her husband Harry Green. One of the most obvious features of 1902 Chorro is its unique roof line. It has a combination of gambrel and hip shapes. The gambrel roof is very rare within San Luis Obispo with only three others existing. It should be noted that two of the other gambrel homes are Master list properties (with limited information on recordavailable regarding their build). 1902 Chorro is the only example within San Luis Obispo of a single level gambrel roof home. The following report will provide further details regarding this property's rare roof line.and details (Architectural Criteria I.(2)), the expression of interesting details and eclecticism(Design Criteria M(3)),the integrity which has been maintained(Architectural Criteria L.(4)), the builder(Criteria For Building Evaluations IV.(3)),and the persons who were connected with the structure intimately for a least two generations who had a beneficial effect on the community(Historical Criteria VL.(3)). THE RARE GAMBREL ROOF IN SAN LUIS OBISPO Background information: 4-12 Attachment 3 The Gambrel Roof was developed in the mid-18th century. The double pitched curved roof building originated in England. The innovation of the Gambrel style developed as taxes were levied by the number of floors in a structure. The Gambrel Roof allowed for almost as much room as another story,but escaped the qualification as a floor itself. The Germans adopted the English style, however,they modified the form by including some decorative yet functional slits. This helped ventilate the loft while admitting some light The Dutch definition of Gambrel:The hock of a horse's leg. Architectural Criteria I. (2)—"Style. Describes form of building such as size,structural shape and details within that form (Le.,arrangement of windows and doors,ornamentation, etc.) Rarity of existence at any time in the locale" In order to define the style,details and rarity of 1902 Chorro. A tally of houses with "Gambrel" roof styles was taken. The search area included Higuera/South to California/Breck to Murray/Broad to McCollum/Grand (see Attachment D). This search area yielded 4"Gambrel"roof styles;1624 Morro St, 1748 Chorro St.,3470 Broad St.,and 1902 Chorro St. 1) 1624 Morro`Bullard House" (Neo-Classical Rowhouse),2 story.

This property is unique from other similar properties in that the gambrel eaves do not flare as in the other examples in town. There is a distinctive bam-like appearance,with knee brackets,trusses and decorative vents. Architectural Criteria II. (3)—"Design. Describes the architectural concept of a structure and the quality of artistic merit and craftsmanship of the individual parts. Reflects how well a particular style or combination of styles are expressed through compatibility and detailing of elements. Also, suggests degree to which the architect(i.e.,carpenter-builder) accurately interpreted and conveyed the style(s). An expression of interesting details and eclecticism among carpenter-builders, although the craftsmanship and artistic quality may not be superior." While 1902 Chorto St.may appear to be less ornate than the other gambrel roof homes in town,it does dearly display Dutch Colonial architecture with some German influences. The German influences most likely were a result of Mr.Chapek learning his trade in Vienna. • Gambrel Roof—Dutch Colonial 4-14 Attachment 3 • Slits and openings in"bam"walls—German Influence. 4 • Decorative roof overhangs—German Influence 1 STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY Architectural Criteria L (4)—"Style.

(3)—"Architect. An architect who,in terms of craftsmanship,made significant contributions to San Luis Obispo." As mentioned in the introduction,the architect and builder was a notable San Luis Obispo resident Mr.John Chapek. According to city records (1910 Index to Registered Voters) Mr. Chapek resided at 843 Upham St. (next door to 1902 Chorro St.). 834 Upham St. is on the Master List of Historic Resources as the Chapek House. According to the 1917 edition of the History of San Lair Oh* County and Entirons, page 569 (Attachment B) Mr.. Chapek"built and sold many cottages,besides doing work for others." In addition to his involvement in San Luis Obispo mentioned in the Introduction of this report,he also formed a partnership with F.H.Johnson and formed the Union Hardware Company. THE RESIDENTS Historical Criteria V1. (3)—"History—Person. Describes a person, group,organization,or institution that has been connected with the structure,either intimately ousecondarily,for at least two generations (i.e.,40 years). Contributions which,though minor,directly or indirectly,had a beneficial effect on the community. San Luis Obispo City Registries indicate that following completion of building,several brakemen with Southern Pacific lived in the house (1914)while Mr. Chapek accepted"good rent". Registries from 1916 only list Mrs. Frank B.Akers (wife of SP brakeman). The next registry is in 1928 which lists A.Bittick(SP Engineer). Contact with relatives Games Green,current resident of Sacramento), who actually lived at 1902 Chorro for a time (with an elderly Rose before her death,and for a few years following her death before the house was sold) have confirmed that the Bittick's (Alfred,Rose V)and Zoe (aka Maria Zoila Dolores Avila) Green moved to the house in late 1917 or early 1918. The move shortly followed the death of Harry Green,a pioneer resident of the county and husband of Zoe Green,who worked at Pacific Coast Coal Co. Harry Green was struck and killed while crossing the RR Tracks at Osos. Attachment E is a copy of the November 23, 1917 Tribune article which documents this accident.. This was one of 2 accidents which lead to the closure of the Osos St. crossing. Alfred and Rose never produced any children. According to surviving relatives and a neighbor (currently residing at 1941 Chorro—property formerly owned and rented out by Alfred and Rose) Alfred was very active within SP and the San Luis Obispo community. Alfred was a member of the King David's Masonic lodge No. 209,Royal Arch Masons No. 62,San Jose Scottish Rite lodge, Corona chapter of the Order of Eastern Star No. 107,Madonna chapter of White Shrine of Jerusalem No. 36 and the San Luis Obispo Grange (Attachment F—December 3, 1955 Tribune). Rose too was very active in the community;however,her official associations were not well documented in her 1991 obituary. 4-18 Attachment 3 Zoe Green was born and died in San Luis Obispo County. As mentioned in the Introduction,she homesteaded in the San Simeon area with her husband in 1898 before moving to San Luis Obispo in 1908. She was a member of the Native Daughters of the Golden West among other civic organizations (according to surviving family members). Attachment G is Zoe(Zoy) obituary. Both Zoe and Alfred died in 1955 (Alfred died on the day of Zoe's funeral). Rose continued to live alone in her house for many years. Towards the end of her life,her nephew James Green lived with her until her death Zoe Green (1868-1955)—Lifelong resident of the county,homesteaded near Hearst Castle with het husband Harry Green. Zoe was a member of the Avila family. She was a member of the Native Daughters of the Golden West. Alfred Bittick (1883-1955) —Bom in Goldwaithe Texas. Alfred Bittick rode horseback through Native American Territory from Oklahoma to Oregon then continuing on to San Luis Obispo. He was an engineer with SP Railroad for 40 years. Rose V.Bittick (1893—1991)—Following the death of her mother and husband. Rose remained in San Luis Obispo,living at 1902 Chorro until her death in 1991. SUMMARY 1902 Chorro Street meets several of the criteria in the Historic Preservation Program Guidelines. Examples have been given above for Architectural Criteria,Criteria For Building Evaluations and Historical Criteria. The home probably also meets Age Criteria III. In light of this we ask that this property be recommended for the Master List of Historic Resources as either the Bittick or Green House. Thank you for your Consideration.

Mrs. Dowell passed away December 21, I 905. Mr. Dowell is a self-made man and highly respected for his sterling traits of character by all who know him. JOHN CHAPEK.—One of the foremost citizens of San Luis Obispo, and a man of sterling worth, is John Chapek, a leading contractor and builder l of the city and county, and a member of the city council, to which he was elected on April 2, 1917. He was born in Bohemia, under Austrian rule, September 2, 1872; and after he had received such schooling as was accorded the youth of that section, he went to Vienna and learned the trade of carpen- ter, serving a three years' apprenticeship. At the age of eighteen he came to 4he United States to find here better opportunities than were offered young j d energetic men in his own country. He worked at his trade in Prairie du I Qiien, Wis., for six months, from which place he went to Clayton county, Ia., Where he was engaged as a carpenter until 1893. In 1893 Mr. Chapek came to San Luis Obispo County. He was engaged a farming near Arroyo Grande until 1899, when he came to the city of San uis Obispo and began working at his trade. He was so successful that after ix months he began contracting and decided to remain in that occupation. 1907, he formed a partnership with F. H. Johnson and they organized the nion Hardware Co., and continued the business three years. At the expira- on of this time, Mr. Chapek sold out his interest in the business to his gart- er, still retaining ownership of the building. ge, September 15, 1903, with Mary S. Mr. Chapek was united in marria derson, a native of California, a daughter of John and Ellen (Donovan) T derson, pioneers of California; and they have four children: Carl J., John Eleanor, and Frederick, all of whom were born in San Luis Obispo County. Mr. Chapelc has been a big factor in the upbuilding of San Luis Obispo d surrounding country, and has built and sold many cottages, besides doing Cork for others. He is now owner of a number of houses from which he l' ceives good rent. An addition to the city known as Fremont Heights, one of i�l e choice residence sections, has been put on the market by Mr. Chapek; d on this he has erected many fine houses. Some of the buildings put up him are the Miles Station schoolhouse, the Charles Brewer block, and I e old Masonic block; while among the first buildings he erected was the eedy Hotel, one of the earliest• three-story buildings built in the town. tom his first contract to the present time he has made good; and his work, ttered throughout the county, has given perfect satisfaction to his patrons. e is a member of the Odd Fellows and a life member of the B. P. O. Elks. z:.
