MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
The Manse on Marsh proposes an expansion of its assisted living residential senior housing facility,
eastward to the southwest corner of Marsh and Beach streets on Block 56 in the city of San Luis
Obispo (Figure 1). Present development plans would impact six buildings at 487 Marsh Street
(A.P.N. 003-512-008) and two at 497 Marsh Street (A.P.N. 003-.512-009).
The six buildings on the 487 Marsh Street parcel include a late nineteenth century wood-framed
residence and wood-framed double-gabled cabin, and three masonry single family residences, a
garage, and laundry building constructed during World War II. The main residence was constructed
after 1877; the cabin is estimated to have been built in the early 1890s. The remaining four buildings
were erected circa 1940.
The two buildings at 497 Marsh Street include a late nineteenth century wood-framed single family
residence and contemporary detached wood-framed building that historically functioned as a kitchen
and washroom.
At the request of Chris Skiff from The Manse on Marsh, Carole Denardo and Joyce Gerber
conducted a historic architectural study at 487 and 497 Marsh Street. The buildings were inventoried
according to the Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines(National Park Service 1983) and
evaluated according to criteria of the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP), California
Register of Historic Resources (CRHR), and city of San Luis Obispo guidelines.
None of the historic properties at 487 and 497 Marsh Street are eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places. The buildings that are associated with important individuals do not retain
sufficient integrity to qualify for inclusion in the NRHP or the CRHR. Likewise, the integrity of
distinctive buildings has either been compromised by extensive modifications or, in the case of the
double-gabled cabin, moved to its present location from an unknown location. Under the San Luis
Obispo criteria some of the properties may be considered significant based on their association with
locally important individuals.

INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Manse on Marsh proposes an expansion of its assisted living residential senior housing facility.
eastward to the southwest corner of Marsh and Beach streets on Block 56 in the city of San Luis
Obispo (Figure 1). Present development plans would impact six buildings at 487 Marsh Street
(A.P.N. 003-512-008) and two at 497 Marsh Street (A.P.N. 003-512-009). The 487 Marsh Street
property fronts Marsh Street to the north, and is bounded by"The Manse on Marsh"on the west, and
497 Marsh Street on the east. The diagonally sectioned southern lot boundary is bordered by 1233
Beach and 484 Pacific street properties. The corner parcel at 497 Marsh Street is bounded by Marsh
Street to the north, 487 Marsh Street to the west, and Beach Street to the east. The south side of
the property is sectioned diagonally with.1233 Beach and 498 Pacific streets located to the south.
The six buildings on the 487 Marsh Street parcel include a late nineteenth century wood-framed
residence and wood-framed double-gabled cabin, and three masonry single family residences. a
garage, and laundry building constructed during World War II(Figure 2). The main residence was
constructed after 1877 but beforel891; the cabin is estimated to have been built in the early 1890s
and was moved to its present location by circa 1940. The remaining four buildings were erected circa
1940. A 5-foot high wooden-slat fence offers privacy for a small yard at the rear of the main
residence. A gravel driveway along the west side of the parcel provides access to the four secondary
residences behind the main house.
The two buildings at 497 Marsh Street include a late nineteenth century wood-framed single family
residence and contemporary detached wood-framed building that historically functioned as a kitchen
and washroom (Figure 2). The rear of the parcel exhibits a natural west-trending slope. However,
fill and retaining walls have been constructed to level the lot and provide for a paved parking lot.
The city of San Luis Obispo requires permits to be issued for the proposed development to satisfy
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and guidelines established by the City.
In 2001, an archaeological resources inventory was prepared by Clay Singer for the subject
properties. Although no archaeological resources were observed, historic buildings were identified
on both parcels. Because the project has the potential to impact significant historic resources. an
architectural study was recommended (Singer 2001).
At the request of Chris Skiff from The Manse on Marsh, Carole Denardo conducted a historic
architectural study at 487 and 497 Marsh Street. The buildings were inventoried according to the
Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines (National Park Service 1983) and evaluated
according to criteria of the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP), California Register of
Historic Resources(CRHR), and city of San Luis Obispo guidelines. The following sections present
study methods, research results, and a management summary.

STUDY METHODS
Architectural historian, Carole Denardo, assisted by Joyce Gerber and Aaron Denardo, conducted
archival research,field inventory, and evaluation of eight historical buildings on two adjoining parcels,
487 Marsh Street(A.P.N. 003-512-008)and 497 Marsh Street(A.P.N. 003-512-009). Professional
qualifications for Ms. Denardo and Ms. Gerber are presented in Appendix A.
2.1 ARCHIVAL RESEARCH
Historic background research consisted of a review of maps, records, permits, and other relevant
published documents and literature at several research facilities including Special Collections at the
John F. Kennedy Library, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo;San Luis Obispo
Historical Society Museum; San Luis Obispo City and County Library;San Luis Obispo Building and
Planning Department; San Luis Obispo County Assessor's Office, and San Luis Obispo County
Recorder's Office(Appendix B). The historical archival research was used to develop a context to
determine the role the buildings played within the regional history.
A number of historic registers were consulted, including the National Register of Historic Places. the
California Register of Historic Resources, and San Luis Obispo historic resource inventory listings
in: Completion Report-Historic Resources Survey(City of San Luis Obispo 1982),A Supplemental
Surrey of the Cultural Resources of San Luis Obispo(Wall 1986), and The Historical Preservation
Program Guidelines(City of San Luis Obispo (1987). No archaeological sites are reported on the
subject parcels and none of the eight buildings are presently on any historical inventory, nor are
they located within a historic district. However, researchers have indicated that one or more of the
buildings may be significant (Wall 1986:S21-22; Singer 2001:4).
2.2 FIELD METHODS
On I 1 December 2001, Carole Denardo, assisted by Aaron Denardo, met with Chris Skiff on the
subject property for a preliminary field visit and to view the interiors of the eight buildings. Building
exteriors were measured and representative 35-millimeter black-and-white photographs were taken
showing site overviews, elevations,and three-quarter views of the late nineteenth and early twentieth
century buildings.
During a return visit on 16 December 2001,formal building documentation occurred, using standard
site record forms developed by the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation
Department. Both the Primary Record (DPR 523A) and Building, Structure, and Object Record
(DPR 523B) forms were completed and are provided as Appendix C.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT
This section summarizes the historical development and land use associated with the parcels at 487
and 497 Marsh Street and the surrounding area. The historic land use of the area has been primarily
ranching, dairying and farming, and urban community development.
3.1 MISSION PERIOD (1760-1820)
The San Luis Obispo region has been occupied since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the abundance
of archaeological materials in and around the city. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa was founded
in 1772, the first Spanish establishment in Chumash territory. The mission location was chosen for
its proximity to abundant bear meat, its location near a stream, and its central position on El Camino
Real between the Santa Barbara Channel and Mission San Antonio de Padua(Krieger 1988:28). Juan
Bautista de Anza visited the Mission on both his 1774 and 1776 expeditions. By 1804, Chumash
villages in the area were abandoned and most of the Obispeno Chumash were living at the mission
or its outposts, having converted to Christianity and adopted many elements of European culture.
At its peak in 1803 the Indian neophyte population at Mission San Luis Obispo was over 900
individuals, declining to 170 by 1838, primarily as a result of disease (Greenwood 1978:521). This
period also saw territorial expansion by the missions, possibly triggered by a lack of water combined
with the increasing numbers of both people and cattle(Krieger 1988:31). With that expansion, the
Missions San Luis Obispo and San Miguel (founded in 1797) became famous for the large size and
fine quality of their crops and herds (Krieger 1988:32).
3.2 RANCHO PERIOD (1820-1845)
In the years following the 1822 Mexican takeover of California, the missions were secularized, and
the outlying lands were divided into ranchos and granted to individuals, including both Mexican
citizens and "perfectos"--Yankees who came to California, converted to Catholicism, and married
Mexican women(Krieger 1988:42). In San Luis Obispo County there were 35 Mexican land grants,
22 between 1840 and 1846 (Krieger 1988:43). This period also saw increased immigration from the
eastern U.S., Europe, and South America, and the transition from agriculture as the primary land use
to cattle ranching as the main economy.
3.3 ANGLO-AMERICANIZATION PERIOD (1845-1880)
In 1948, the two-year war between Mexico and the United States ended and California became
United States territory under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. California was declared the thirty-
first state in 1850(Chartkoffand Chartkoff 1984). San Luis Obispo became a town on February 19,
1856, and was re-incorporated as a city in 1876. Land patents were issued to individual rancho and
grant owners beginning in 1852. The patents were issued after approval of title and after the land was
officially surveyed (Robinson 1965:17-18). In 1851 the president of San Luis Obispo's board of
trustees, Charles H. Johnson, obtained a patent from the United States to the 572.65 acres on which
5
o '
San Luis Obispo was located. The land was held by the Board of Trustees in trust for the townsmen,
under an Act of Congress (Robinson 1965:21). Deeds were then issued by the Board to individual
townsmen, after payment of the $1.25 per acre fee required by the land office in San Francisco:_
priority was given to those already in possession of the land (Robinson 1965: 22).
The heyday of the ranchos ended with the drought of 1862-1864, which decimated the population
of long-horned cattle and forced many rancheros to sell their lands. Dairies and small farms gradually
replaced large-scale cattle ranching, and coastal towns and shipping locations grew. Wheat and
barley became important crops and the Frenchman Dallidet began to grow grapes (Robinson
1965:27). In the ensuing years,the dairy industry would become extremely important in the economy
of the county, which was a major supplier of milk and cheese for the San Francisco area.
The 1874 RR Harris map of the Town of San Luis Obispo shows the parcels at 487 and 497 Marsh
Street within the southwest quarter of a 5.46 acre, roughly rectangular parcel owned by T. Higuera
(Tritchenbach 1989:58). The map shows Higuera's parcel placed slightly diagonally, southwest to
northeast, all the way across and within the large block bounded by Higueras Street on the north,
Nipoma on the east, Pacific Street on the south, and the Public Cemetery on the west. The large
block is later shown as divided into Blocks 56, to the west, and 3 on the east. On this 1874 map,
Marsh Street's western terminus is at Nipoma(an early spelling ofNipomo)dead-ending at Higuera's
land; the street was named because the western portion was marshy, and it is likely that Higuera's
parcel was very fertile farmland. At some later date; Marsh street was extended to the west, directly
through the center of Higuera's parcel.
The Harris map also shows that Beach Street's northern end terminates at the southern boundary of
Higuera's parcel. Sanborn maps and early plat maps show that Beach Street does not go through to
Marsh street until sometime between 1886 and 1888.
Thomas B. Higuera was born in San Fernando in 1818. He married Bacilia Hernandez in 1844, when
she was twelve. She had twins at thirteen, and they eventually had a total of fifteen children. The
family moved to San Luis Obispo County in 1855(Storke 1891). Basdia's death certificate states that
she had lived at 570 Marsh Street for 55 years - from about 1856 until her death in 1911. The
address is confirmed in her obituary in the San Luis Obispo Tribune, August 4, 1911, page 1. This
residence was on the opposite side of Marsh and in the block northeast of the 487 and 497 Marsh
Street properties.
Higuera petitioned his request for this land in the center of San Luis Obispo in 1859, and it was finally
granted in 1870 (Bertrando 1996). During this interval Higuera farmed and attained prominence
within the community, as evidenced by the fact that by the early 1870s one of San Luis Obispo's two
major thoroughfares was designated Higuera Street(originally called Higueras Street). T.B.Higuera
was listed as a farmer in San Luis Obispo County in the 1875 in the Handbook&Directory of San
Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Kern, San Bernadino,LosAngeles, and San Diego Counties.
The County Census shows that Thomas Higuera lived on North Marsh in 1880. The Higuera
residence was next door to and directly east of the house owned by R.E. Jack.

3.4 RAILROAD PERIOD (1880-1915)
The first steam locomotive run between the wharf at San Luis Bay and San Luis Obispo was made
in the fall of 1886. Now,with the demise ofthe ranchos and the greater focus on dairying, combined
with more efficient transportation to the shipping nodes, the dairy industry began to increase
dramatically in economic importance in the county. The Southern Pacific Railroad was completed
as far south as San Miguel, in the northern part of San Luis Obispo County, in 1889 (Robinson
1965:30). Several tunnels, a horseshoe curve, a long steel trestle and many fills later, San Luis
Obispo was reached in the spring of 1894 (Robinson 1965:31). It was not just the logistical
difficulties that stalled the line's completion to San Luis Obispo for nearly six years,however;Krieger
writes that "The Panic of 1893 had frozen investment capital, and the Southern California land boom
of the 1880s had resulted in ...over speculation" (1988:82). The influx of railroad workers created
a severe housing shortage, and tents and other temporary housing went up like weeds to
accommodate the burgeoning labor force.
The long-awaited completion of the railroad into San Luis Obispo, and its continuation along the
coast to Los Angeles, ended the county's relative isolation and brought in the modern period. In
1911 San Luis Obispo became the district headquarters for the California Highway Commission,later
to become CalTrans, serving Santa Barbara,Monterey, and San Benito Counties as well as San Luis
Obispo County. The development of the highways and freeways was of"climactic importance" in
the county's growth and socioeconomic development (Robinson 1965:34).
The California Polytechnic Institute opened its doors in 1901. San Luis Obispo became increasingly
more prosperous, its image beginning to shift away from a primarily agricultural community and
reflecting both the presence of the college and the central coast's increasing use as a resort area(San
Luis Obispo Historic Resources Survey 1983:22).
Grant deeds show that around the time of Thomas lEguera's death in 1886, his family began to sell
their fertile farmland property near the center of town. Although the 1888 Sanborn maps do not
show any structures on the block (56) on which 487 and 497 Marsh were later built, an early plat
book shows Higuera's original large parcel as completely divided into individual plots by 1886 or
1888. Although the plat book does not contain any dates, it shows Beach Street as dead ending at
the southern property line ofHiguera's original large parcel. Sanborn maps indicate that Beach Street
was extended north to Marsh between 1886 and 1888, so the plat maps must predate this event.
The same plat book, evidently dating to pre-1886 or 1888, shows an A. G. Pinho as owning the 40'
by 183' property at 497 Marsh. Book 7 (pg 2) of the 1890 Book of Deeds indicates that he owned
property fronting Marsh Street(presumably 497 Marsh Street)by 1888. The deed record includes
Pinho on a list of individuals who gave a portion of their property fronting Marsh Street for street
widening purposes.Pinho is not listed in Paulson's 1875 Handbook and Directory of Sam Luis Obispo
County; however City directories list Pinho as residing at 497 Marsh Street from 1904 through 1919.
7
The 1880's plat book shows Antonio J. Pinho's 497 Marsh Street lot as flanked by parcels of similar
size and shape. The owners of the parcel to the east, in the corridor now occupied by Beach Street,
are C.L. St. Clair, Mrs. L. E. R. Forbes and Levi Smith. The parcel to the west, at what is now 487
Marsh Street, is owned by S.D. Ballou. Steven D. Ballou also owned the property directly to the
south, which was bounded by the cemetery, and Pacific and Beach streets.
The 1891 Sanborn map shows Beach Street as dead-ending into Marsh(Figure 3). At 497 Marsh,
which is labeled "17 and 18" rather than 497, one dwelling is shown at the front ofthe parcel(facing
Marsh) and a "Kitchen & Wash HQ" fronts Beach midway down the parcel. At 487 Marsh, which
is numbered 15 and 16, a single dwelling is shown at the front of the property facing Marsh. A
second structure, a hay barn, is at the back of the property and numbered 151/2. The 1903 Sanborn
map shows the same configuration of structures;by the 1905 map the parcels have been designated
487 and 497 Marsh Street (Figure 4).
Antonio G. Pinho was born in 1854, the son of a Portugese sea.captain. He immigrated to Boston
in 1870, and eventually settled in New Bedford. He married Frances Coster and they had two
daughters. With his family, Pinho came to San Luis Obispo in 1883, one of a number of Portugese
immigrants from the Azores. The 1892 Great Register lists A.G. Pinho as a 37-year-old barber:
Pinho is described in one biographical sketch as a"tonsorial artist",and(Guinn 1903:425)writes that
Pinho's barber shop (at 889 Monterey Street)"was the finest and largest in town...with a patronage
among the exclusive people of the town." Pinho became a very prominent citizen, serving on the
City Board of Trustees in 1901. He was also a firefighter, and was treasurer of the City Fire
Department for at least 15 years. Pinho belonged to many fraternal and ethnic organizations including
the Odd Fellows, the Elks, the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Royal Arcanum, and three
separate Portugese societies. He may have acted as a spokesperson for Portugese dairy farmers who
settled on the south side of San Luis Obispo, in an area referred to as"Portugese Flats"
Stephen D. Ballou was born in New York in 1845. He fought for the Union in the Civil War from
age 16 to 20, when he witnessed the fall of Richmond and the surrender of General Lee (Storke
1891:648-9). After arriving in California in 1865, he left and mined in Nevada, then returned to
California to farm in Monterey County until 1874. He moved to Arizona for two years, and also
farmed in Fresno County,but continued to be listed as a San Luis Obispo County resident from 1874
forward. Storke's biographical sketch states that Ballou opened one of the first stores in Lompoc.
He belonged to several fraternal organizations and was appointed as light-house keeper at Port
Harford around 1890. Ballou was married to Mary Marshall, and they had one daughter. Lizzie
Renkert, a domestic, resided with the Ballou's at 487 Marsh Street. The City Directory indicates
that in 1910, S.D. Ballou was retired at the age of 64 and still living at that address.
3.5 PERIOD OF REGIONAL CULTURE (1915-1945)
With the entry of America into World War I in 1917, a new prosperity came to southern San Luis
Obispo and northern Santa Barbara counties (Krieger 1988:72). These counties produced great
quantities of high grade navy beans, a real boon for feeding the nation at war before refrigeration was
8
r .
common. Farmers could produce several crops a year;and millions of pounds ofbe
and shipped around the continent. At the end of,the war, however, the governmen
ended, and growers faced a devastating drop in demand. Hoof-and-mouth disea
affected the animal herds, and the 1920s were a difficult time economically.
The 1930s were, in San Luis Obispo as elsewhere, marked by the Great Depression. Thousands of
people flocked from all over the country to the central coast, looking for work. The economy began
to recover in the 1940s, partly as a result of the presence of Camp San Luis Obispo.. The-opening of
the Men's Colony and the shift of Cal Poly to a co-ed school resulted in a dramatic doubling of
population size in the 1940s, with a concomitant need for housing, goods and services. The influx
of former Camp San Luis trainees and their families after the war also caused a dire need for
additional housing.
City records indicate that in 1924, Mrs. A.G. Pinho applied for a building permit for a 12x15 foot
corrugated iron garage to be built on the south side of the 497 Marsh Street property. The 1926
Sanborn maps indicate that the two original structures have been connected at 497 Marsh, and
another separate small structure (the garage) has been added towards the back of the property. At
487, the hay barn appears to have been removed or altered so that the entire back quarter of the
parcel is occupied by either one large or three smaller connected structures. Two smaller buildings
are also shown midway in the parcel (Figure 6).
From 1928 until 1932, 497 Marsh was occupied by Ida Baty, a teacher. By the late 1930s Manuel
Rodriguez had purchased the property. However, as early as 1942 the buildings were inhabited by
a painter, Carl F. Linnman, and a carpenter, Merl C. Longwell.
The house at 487 Marsh Street was occupied in 1914 by Charles(a carpenter)and Catherine Amstutz
lived in the house,but by 1916 they are no longer listed in the City Directory. Mrs.Betty Bassett and
Hamilton Bassett became owners of the property in about 1923, and began making changes to the
residence and stable on the south side of the parcel. In 1923 they were granted a permit to"demolish
and replace the front porch and replace the underpinning of the porch and house, construct a 22-foot
fence on the south side of the residence, construct a 500-foot fence around the lot at the corner of
Marsh, Carmel, and Pacific streets" (3-panel type-topped). That same year they applied for a permit
to repair the roof of the stable and extend one side and build a fence on the side and back of the
building. The following year they were permitted to build a l Ox 16-foot wood-framed chicken coop.
However, their permit to add a 6x22-foot bathroom to the residence was later withdrawn. By circa
1940 three Spanish Eclectic style buildings were constructed on the south side of the main residence,
including two small single family residences and a four car garage with a residence over it. A
masonry laundry was also erected during the same period. A late nineteenth century wood-framed
double-gabled cabin was also moved to the southeast corner of the lot. These buildings are shown
on the 1950 Sanborn Map (Figure 7). Itis surmised that the cabin may have originally been two
cabins that housed railroad workers prior to railroad completion in 1894. When moved, the houses
were modified to function as a single residence. By 1942 Charles F. and Edythe Jones, who owned
Spotless Cleaners, occupied the main house and had rented out.Units A-D.

IF 3.6 SUBURBAN PERIOD (1945-1965)
After World War IL population increased in California and travel was further augmented by the
developing highway system. Growth continued in San Luis Obispo, and large tracts of post World
War II housing were constructed around the outer margins of the city where undeveloped land was
available (San Luis Obispo Historic Resources Survey 1983).
The only project-specific information that was found for this period is that the property at 497 Marsh
was granted to Carlos and Gertrude Nungary from Arthur and Dorothy Marshall in 1959. No
building permits were located for this time frame.
3.7 CONTEMPORARY (1965-PRESENT)
Cal Poly was brought into the California State University System in 1972, and San Luis Obispo
quickly acquired the distinctive flair of a university community. San Luis Obispo has, however,
remained a small town in many ways. In the San Luis Obispo Historic Resources Survey, Becker,
Krieger and Oubre write, "Devoid of strong growth pressures to drastically alter its physical form,
it has managed rather successfully to retain a strong sense of history" (1983:23). They attribute this
to both the city s adoption of a limiting growth policy, and the pro-growth policies of other cities,
which have discouraged the "invasion in San Luis Obispo of large businesses associated with a more
metropolitan way of life" (1983:23).
Many changes occurred at 497 Marsh Street during this time period. Ownership changes included
the following: 1972, granted to IEO Campbell from Carlos and Gertrude Nungaray; 1974, granted
to Richard and Clerise Maul ('/�interest), and James J. and Emmie L. Hagenback('/i interest); 1976,
granted 1/2 interest to M. and E. Gentillon from James J.and Emmie L.Hagenback;and 1979,granted
to Doris Helen M. Tucker from Richard and Clerise Maul and Marcel B. and Elizabeth Gentillon.
That same year, city records indicate that Ms. Tucker applied for a building permit for a telephone
pole and applied for a building permit to convert the house to a commercial store. Modifications
included replacement of the roof;elevation of the building and placement of a new foundation;filling
in the existing root cellar;replacement of the electrical system;and construction of 10-foot tall wind
wall on the north portion of the west elevation. The wind wall was constructed with a 4-foot wide
and 6-foot deep atrium inside. The windows were removed from west elevation and the window on
south portion of east elevation replaced with french doors. Wooden ramps and decks were installed
on the east and south elevations for wheelchair access. In 1986 the property was granted to Thomas
E. and Katherine Coull from Doris Tucker, and then to the Coull Family Trust in 1989.
Less information is available for the property at 487 Marsh. City records show a 1965 application
for a building permit for a water heater at 487A Marsh;the is owner listed as Steve Vegar. In 1979
the property was granted to Katherine K. Coull. Subsequent building permit applications have
included installation of underground electric in 1985, replacement of a wall heater in 1991,and repair
of an existing wood foundation/wall in 1996.

RESOURCE DESCRIPTIONS
487 MARSH STREET ARCHITECTURE
Six historic buildings at 487 Marsh Street were documented and evaluated during the historical
architectural survey for the Manse on Marsh Senior Housing Expansion Project. Historic buildings
consist of one late nineteenth century Vernacular-style residence (487 Marsh- main residence), a
railroad era double-gabled cabin(487C Marsh-residence);and five World War H era Spanish Eclectic
style masonry buildings that include two small dwellings(487A and 487B Marsh-residences),a four-
car garage with an upstairs apartment(487D Marsh),and a laundry building(487 Marsh-laundry)(see
Figure 3).
4.1 487 MARSH STREET- MAIM RESIDENCE
The main residence at 487 Marsh Street is a Vernacular farmhouse, built in circa 1880. The building
fronts Marsh Street to the north. west of Beach Street (Plate 1). A driveway on the west side of the
subject parcel leads south to the rear of the house and a complex of five secondary buildings. The
Victorian residence has a compound shape featuring a one-and-one-half story with a front-gable
stepped with a one-story wing. The building measures 40-feet eight-inches by 30-feet eight-inches.
The larger section has a moderate-pitched roof clad with rolled composition roofing; the one-story
side-gabled wing is clad with composition shingles.. Front and back porches were once prominent
features at the north and south elevations of the wing, but enclosed by the early twentieth century.

The front door appears to be contemporary with the house. It is solid wood and displays ornate
decorative details around the paned window and two-panels; some of the hardware looks original.
Variations of wall cladding represents different periods of construction, although siding is generally
wood horizontal dropboard. Inconsistent building materials and poor workmanship are apparent at
the southwest comer of the residence, the location of the downstairs bathroom. Modifications
include flush vertical planks covering one wall and wood shiplap on the next. Two more small shed
roof additions clad with dropboard siding have been addedto the south side of the dwelling. A
modern wood door is at the rear of one addition.
Fenestration is varied throughout the house. A pair of wood linear five-paned fixed windows are
spaced on either side of the front door. Other windows on the single-story wing are wood two-paned
casement or fixed-paned types. On the larger part of the house, only one original wood 2/2 double-
hung window remains; the rest are aluminum I/1 modem double-hung types. A five-foot wood slat
fence surrounds a small private yard behind the house.
Inside the residence, some of the original Victorian era features remain, such as portions of the
original wainscoting and molding, and the characteristic steep, narrow,staircase. Similarly, authentic
built-in wood shiplap cupboards and door hinges still grace the kitchen.

Plate 2 Overview of secondary residence at 487A Marsh Street,view to the east
The modest single-story stucco-clad residence at 487A Marsh Street is located approximately 40-feet
south of the main residence. near the east end of the lot. Built circa 1940, the Spanish Eclectic
dwelling measures 29-feet-9-inches by 25-feet. The west facade is asymmetrical with a parapet
12
surrounding the flat roof clad with rolled tar-roofing. A narrow red-tiled gable embellishes the south
end of the fagade. Tile decorative vents are present below the roofline and above the base of the
building. A simple overhang with plain wood post supports is added at the entrance. The wooden
front door has one-panel and exhibits an ornately scrolled metal door knocker. Fenestration consists
of all matching wood 2/2 double sash windows.
4.3 487B MARSH STREET-RESIDENCE
The single-story stucco-clad residence at 487B Marsh Street is of a similar design as the dwelling at
487A Marsh Street, located directly to the north. Built circa 1940, the Spanish Eclectic dwelling
measures 29-feet-9-inches by 25-feet. A parapet surrounds the flat roof clad with rolled tar roofing.
The west fagade is asymmetrical with an off-centered front door, wood posts support the small
overhang above the door. The wooden front door has one-panel and exhibits an ornately scrolled
metal door knocker. Alterations have been made on the south side of the fagade. Originally it may
have had a decorative red-tiled gable,similar to the one at 487A Marsh Street. Fenestration consists
of a combination of wood 2/2 and 1/1 double sash windows. Decorative the vents are present below
the roofline and at the base of the building.
Plate 3 Overview of secondary residence at 487B Marsh Street;view to the east
4.4 487C MARSH STREET-RESIDENCE
A small double-gabled Vernacular styled cabin, located at the southeast corner of the subject parcel,
is rectangular shaped and measures approximately 18-feet 8-inches by 16-feet 3-inches. The two
parallel roofs are front-gabled, each with a steep pitch, and are clad with composition shingles. A
l3
0 J
small side-gabled wing, housing a bathroom, has been added to the south side of the east elevation.
The walls are all clad with horizontal clapboard siding. In the center of the west side of the fagade
is a wood door with one panel and a four-paned window; it has a glass doorknob. Wood single-
paned windows are on either side. The west side of the fagade features a wood single-paned three-
paneled door with old hardware, including a metal doorknob; a wood two-paned window is on the
east side. Small, triangular-shaped windows have more recently been placed at the apex of each
gable. The building appears to be elevated on piers, and a wooden porch floor with a simple wood
rail exists at the faFade. A small cross-gabled wing is on the south side of the east elevation to
accommodate a bathroom in the tiny building. A wood single-paned window is centered on the east
elevation of the wing. Wooden stairs leading up to the residence at 487D Marsh Street are
sandwiched between this building and the garage to the west.
It is surmised that the dwelling was once two small buildings that were later joined together in the
center. It was moved to its present location in about 1940. The building style and construction
materials are reminiscent of an earlier period, possibly during the Railroad Construction Era (pre-
1894). No building permits or other records provide clues to the origin of the building(s). They
were either moved onto the property from an unknown location, or it is possible that these are the
two tiny buildings removed from their original locations behind the main residence when the Spanish
Eclectic buildings were constructed on the property in about 1940. One of the buildings was
originally a 10-foot by 16-foot chicken coop constructed in 1924. The other was a tiny studio
apartment or ancillary building, built after 1909, with dimensions measuring approximately 12-feet
by 10-feet- However, the sizes don't coincide with that of the present building footprint and the
building_ appears to pre-date the former two buildings.

4.5 487D MARS® STREET-RESIDENCE AND GARAGE
Situated on the southwest corner of the subject property at 487D Marsh Street is a garage with an
apartment above it. The Spanish Eclectic building measures approximately 37-feet-nine-inches by
nineteen-feet-two-inches. The flat roof is clad with rolled tar paper and is surrounded by a parapet.
A decorative row of red tile caps the top of the parapet. The ground floor of the north facade
features a row of four evenly spaced garage stalls; the doors are numbered 1-4 Each stall has an
arched-shaped wood-slat door that swings open at the center. The walls are stucco over clay.tile
blocks. On the east side of the building is a wood staircase sandwiched between the garage and a
double-gabled dwelling(487C Marsh Street) ; the stairs ascend to wood single-paned three-paneled
door at the second floor residence entrance. The upstairs fagade features a veranda that extends out
above the garage, supported by four plain wood posts and a tiled roof. A wood lattice railing
extends across the front ofthe veranda. The east end is enclosed; it exhibits a pair of wood 1/1 paned
windows. At the opposite end of the fagade is a matching pair of wood 1/1 paned windows. Wood
french doors open out onto the veranda from the residence.

contemporary with the Spanish Eclectic buildings. The flat shed roof is clad with rolled roofing, and
the plain west faFade has a wood single-paned, one-paneled door on the south end. The building is
windowless,with the exception of boarded-up wood three-paned window at the east elevation. The
floor is a concrete slab and the building interior features a two-basin metal sink.. The building backs
up to a concrete retaining wall along the eastern property line.

497 MARSH STREET ARCHITECTURE
The project area consists of a city lot that contains two late nineteenth century (circa 1880) wood-
framed buildings. The buildings originally functioned as a single family residence with a detached
kitchen and wash room. However,both buildings now house commercial businesses,"Jamaica You"
hair salon(497 Marsh Street),and"The Golden Paw"dog grooming(49713 Marsh Street). The one-
story main residence, built circa 1880, fronts Marsh Street but is prominently setback; mature trees
and plants line the front yard.
4.7 497 MARSH STREET-RESIDENCE
The modest Folk Victorian cottage displays Queen Anne style detailing comprising wooden saw-cut
brackets and decorative chamfered posts supporting the full length drop-roof front porch. Unlike a
true Queen Anne style, this Vernacular building has a simpler form with a symmetrical faFade. It
displays a moderate pitched side-gabled roof clad with composition shingles and exhibits wood
beveled dropboard siding. Several historic modifications have occurred on the south elevation,
including an extended secondary roof addition. Attached to the east end of the south elevation
16
addition is a moderate pitched front-gable roofed room that was once a hallway connecting the
residence to the kitchen. It has a more recent wood 10-paned door leading out(south)to an elevated
wood deck with a three-foot-high railing. A small, square shed-roof utility room with a wood veneer
door extends from the south elevation of the shed addition, it is attached to the west side of the
"hallway". Hidden in overgrown ivy on the west side of the utility shed is what appears to be the
residence's original wooden privy seats.

The north-facing fagade features a set of 2/2 double-hung windows on either side of a wooden Dutch
door with a 9-paned Prairie-style window at the top and double molded panels at the bottom.
Fenestration at the east elevation consists of a pair of 2/2 wooden double-hung windows and an
introduced bay window with three linear single panes. A small two-paned aluminum slider is revealed
at the west side of the south elevation. Other modern building modifications include the addition of
a concrete foundation, and a wooden ramp designed for wheelchair access that leads to a pair of
wooden 10-paned french doors at the east elevation. The windows on the west elevation were
removed when an addition was added and a 10-foot tall wind wall was constructed on the north
portion of the west elevation. A 4-foot wide and 6-foot deep open area inside the wind wall was
once used as an atrium. The building interior has been completely re-wired and renovated for
adaptive re-use as a commercial business.
4.8 497 MARSH STREET-FORMER KITCHEN AND WASH ROOM
The secondary building(497B Marsh Street), dates to circa 1880, and is contemporary with the main
residence located directly to the north. It is presently used as "The Golden Paw", a dog grooming
17
business. The small, Vernacular-styled building is single-storied and clad with wood beveled
horizontal dropboard, and exhibits mis-matched fenestration throughout. The main portion of the
building, originally the kitchen, has a shed roof clad with rolled composition roofing. A building
addition (wash room) at the west elevation displays a lower shed roof with two large turbine vents;
the two roofs meet to form an uneven front gable. A small front-gabled addition is at the west side
of the north fapade. Once part of the hallway that connected the two buildings, it is now truncated
and exhibits a modern wood veneer door with an upper aluminum slider and a lower wood panel.
The building fagade features a solid wood door with a fixed pane over a small denticulated sill, and
four molded panels. East of the door is a wood-framed single-paned window.
The building sits on a west-trending slope and much of the building, mostly at the west elevation, sits
directly on the ground. However, traces of concrete slab appears in some locations. A concrete
retaining wall has been placed on the east and south elevations of the building, probably when the
sidewalk was installed. A single, horizontal window displaying eight linear vertical panes and an
exterior wood-framed screen is the only fenestration on the east elevation. At the rear ofthe building
(south elevation)are a 1/1 paned fixed window with a metal louver vent above it on the east side and
a 6-paned fixed window on the west side. Thick shrubbery covers much ofthe south elevation. The
west elevation exhibits one completely boarded-up window,a partially boarded-up window equipped
with an air conditioner, and a modern aluminum slider. A wood 6-paned (Prairie-style), 2-paneled
door with exterior screen door is at the north end. A tiny shed-roofed utility(hot water heater?)shed
of plywood construction, and set on pier blocks, is centered on the west elevation.
Inside the building, beneath the pegboard, is the original wood shiplap and interior molding.

EVALUATION
5.1 ELIGIBILITY FOR LISTING ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC
PLACES
For a property to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, it must be
significant and also retain integrity. Under the NRNP a resource is considered to be "historically
significant" if it meets the following criteria for listing on the NRNP:
The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, and culture is present in
districts,sites, buildings, structures,and objects of State and local importance that possess integrity of
location,design,setting, materials,workmanship, feeling and association and:
A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns
of our history;or
B. That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
C. That embody the distinctive character of a type, period, or method of construction, or that
represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a
significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction;or
D. That have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history
[Code of Federal Regulations,Title 36, Part 60].
The seven elements of integrity include location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling,
and association. According to Little et al. (2000:35),"The importance of each of these aspects of
integrity depends upon the nature of the property and the Criterion or Criteria under which it is
nominated." For example, a property nominated under Criterion A (events) would most likely
convey its significance primarily through an integrity of location, setting, and association. A
property nominated solely under Criterion C (architecture) would rely primarily upon integrity of
design, materials, and workmanship. Office of Historic Preservation and National Park Service
guidelines indicate that design,workmanship,and materials are the most critical integrity elements
for historical buildings and structures (Little et al. 2000).
5.1.1 Criterion A
Archival research demonstrates that none of the buildings at 487 and 497 Marsh Street are associated
with historically significant events(Criterion A). The late nineteenth century residences do represent
early settlement in the town of San Luis Obispo, and an argument can be made that the circa 1940
buildings may be associated with increased population resulting from the military presence at Camp
San Luis during World War II. However, the properties are not significant in their association with
these events.It has been surmised that the double-gabled dwelling(s)may have originally been built
to house railroad workers in the early 1890s. Presently,this is mere conjecture based on the building
style and probable age. However, if the association can be proven,then that relationship may prove
to be significant. But, because they were moved from their original location and setting, the
29
O
relationship between the building and the historic event is compromised.
5.1.2 Criterion B
Under Criterion B,Stephen Ballou,a former Union Army soldier and owner of the 487 Marsh Street
residence, is considered moderately important for his involvement in community affairs and short
stint as light-house keeper at Port Harford. But, his achievements were not individually historically
significant. Antonio Pinho, a resident at 497 Marsh Street, was also a moderately important
individual in the early development of San Luis Obispo. He was a valued community member,
having served as a long-term volunteer fireman and as an early trustee for the City of San Luis
Obispo. There is more of an argument for Pinho to be regarded as a locally significant person. His
status is probably more appropriate under CEQA or local standards.
5.1.3 Criterion C
None of the properties at 487 Marsh Street qualify under Criterion C,unless the origin of the double-
gabled cabin can be positively linked to the railroad. In that case, it can be established that the
building(s)embody a distinctive style of architecture used to house railroad laborers. The residence
at 497 Marsh Street represents late nineteenth century modest folk housing with Queen Anne
detailing built for working class families.The building style is not too common,but it is not unique;
similar style buildings can be seen at 296 Higuera Street, 1306 Chorro Street, and 1342 Garden
Street. However, the separate quarters for the kitchen and wash room (497B Marsh Street) is
distinctive and less commonly seen..
5.1.4 Integrity
Despite the fact that some of the buildings on the subject property may qualify under Criteria A, B,
or C, integrity must also be examined. The main residence at 487 Marsh Street is associated with
Stephen Ballou(Criterion B). Based on building modifications, substandard materials,and inferior
construction techniques, the building no longer retains integrity of design, materials, or
workmanship. None of the Spanish Eclectic buildings qualify as historically significant. The
doubled-gabled building is interesting and unusual,but it has been moved to its current location from
elsewhere; its original locale may never be known. This certainly diminishes its historic value.
Based on the current information, it ap ear non of the buildings at 487 Marsh Street are
historically significant.
The two istoric properties at 497 Marsh Street are linked to Antonio Pinho,a Portu se immigrant
barber who attained some degree of notability in the early development of San Luis Obisp He does
not qualify as a significant individual under NRNP standards, but may more appropriately ualify
under CEQA or City guidelines. Despite extensive modifications to the historic property,the ade
retains the essence of its original look. The National Register Bulletin(NPS 2000:25)suggest that
if the historic individual would not be able to recognize the building today, then it probably lacks
sufficient integrity. In this case, Pinho would be able to identify at least the fagade of the house.
ess compatible materials were used on the other elevations, diminishing its integrity (see house
p ans on pages 24-28). Although the former kitchen and wash room (49713 Marsh Street) is
di inctive, it has suffered from unsympathetic use of building materials, and therefore does
30
retain integrity. Neither building at 497 Marsh Street appears to be historically significant by NRHP
standards.
5.2 ELIGIBILITY FOR LISTING ON THE CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORIC
RESOURCES
Under CEQA, a resource is considered to be "historically significant" if it meets the criteria for
listing on the CRHR, which closely follow criteria set forth by the NRNP. In fact, the CRHR
formally lists properties that have been determined eligible for inclusion in the NRNP. In order to
evaluate the CRHR eligibility of the buildings at 487 and 497 Marsh Street, the following criteria
was applied to determine if the resource:
A. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of
California's history and cultural heritage;
B. Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past;
C. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction,
or represents the work of an important creative individual,or possesses high artistic values;or
D. Has yielded, or may likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history (Public
Resources Code SS5024.1,Title 14 CCR, Section 48521.
Criteria B and C are most applicable here. Antonio Pinho was the more prominent of the two early
owners of the residences at 487 and 497 Marsh Street. Despite his prior distinction as a Union Army
soldier,Stephen Ballou's later accomplishments do not appear to qualify him as an important person
under Criterion B. Based on his deeds,Pinho is recognized as an important person by the California
Register of Historic Resources standards. He contributed to the development of San Luis Obispo in
a number of ways. Among his contributions,his dedication to the volunteer fire department and role
as a trustee for San Luis Obispo are considerable accomplishments, especially for a Portugese
immigrant.
Pinho `s-home, from the 1880s-until his death sometime prior to 1924, was a simple folk cottage
with Queen Anne detailing on the front porch. It is a distinctive style of pre-railroad architecture that
may qualify for inclusion in the CRHR under Criterion C. By the early 1890s,there were probably a
number of these working class family homes in San Luis Obispo. A few similar examples still exist,
including residences at 296 Higuera Street, 1306 Chorro Street,and 1342 Garden Street. Although
the building faeade has not been altered extensively, the rest of the building has been changed
considerably. Extensive modifications occurred in about 1979 when the residence became a store
(Tuckers Store),including elevating the entire building and placing a foundation beneath it;replacing
the roofing; extensive interior remodeling; electrical re-wiring; door and window replacements;
building additions; and a number of other alterations(see house plans-page 24-28). It is interesting
that Pinho placed the kitchen and washroom in a separate building from the living quarters. As a
fireman, he was probably conscience of the multitude of fires that start in the kitchen, and this was
his way of protecting his home and family. The detached kitchen is a distinctive,uncommon type of
31
O
architecture and can be considered, along with the Pinho residence, applicable under Criterion C.
Unfortunately, the building suffers from use of incompatible materials and inferior workmanship.
Despite significance under Criteria B and C, the two buildings at 497 Marsh Street do not retain
sufficient integrity to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historic Resources. None
of the other buildings appear to meet the criteria for inclusion on the California Register of Historic
Resources with the possible exception of the two-gabled building that was moved to its present
location in about 1940. It is theorized that the building may have originally been two cabins built
during the late nineteenth century.
5.3 CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA
CEQA requires that applicable local guidelines be used to evaluate historic resources. The criteria
for evaluating significance on the subject property are found in The Historical Preservation Program
Guidelines (City of San Luis Obispo 1990), and The Archaeological Resource Preservation
Guidelines (City of San Luis Obispo 1995). The following variables under the three criteria
headings are used by the Cultural Heritage committee to evaluate and determine significance of
historic properties:
Architectural Criteria- Style, Design, Age
Criteria for Building Evaluations- Architect, Environmental Design Continuity
Historical Criteria-Historic Association- Person, Event, Context
Each of the six historic properties in the project area will be examined in terms of applicable criteria.
The Architectural Criteria of each building is thoroughly discussed in Chapter 4- Resource
Descriptions, and in the DPR 523 Primary Records, and will not be repeated here.
5.3.1 Criteria for Building Evaluations
Architect- It is not known who the architect or builder was for any of the residences or ancillary
buildings on the two properties; none represent the work of a master architect.
Environmental Design Continuity-Much of the block surrounding the residences is built-up with
modern commercial buildings. Two of the historic buildings (497 and 497B Marsh Street) have
housed businesses since 1979. The buildings' setting has been compromised by larger commercial
establishments that are incompatible in style and continuity. The 497 Marsh Street house, in
particular, seems dwarfed in the midst of all the larger, and mostly more modern businesses. The
R.E. Jack House, one block to the east, is the closest late nineteenth century house to these
residences.
32
5.3.2 Historical Criteria
History- Person Associated with 497 and 497B Marsh Street Historic Properties-Antonio G.
Pinho was born in 1854,the son of a Portugese sea captain. He immigrated to Boston in 1870,and
eventually settled in New Bedford. He married Frances Coster and they had two daughters.With his
family,Pinho came to San Luis Obispo in 1883,one of a number of Portugese immigrants from the
Azores. The 1892 Great Register lists A.G. Pinho as a 37-year-old barber: Pinho is described in one
biographical sketch as a "tonsorial artist",and(Guinn 1903:425) writes that Pinho's barber shop(at
889 Monterey Street) "was the finest and largest in town...with a patronage among the exclusive
people of the town." Pinho became a very prominent citizen,serving on the City Board of Trustees
in 1901. He was also a firefighter, and was treasurer of the City Fire Department for at least 15
years. Pinho belonged to many fraternal and ethnic organizations including the Odd Fellows, the
Elks, the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Royal Arcanum, and three separate Portugese
societies. He may have acted as a spokesperson for Portugese dairy farmers who settled on the.south
side of San Luis Obispo, in an area referred to as "Portugese Flats"
History- Person Associated with 487 Marsh Street Historic Properties Stephen D. Ballou was
born in New York in 1845. He fought for the Union in the Civil War from age 16 to 20, when he
witnessed the fall of Richmond and the surrender of General Lee(Storke 1891:648-9). After arriving
in California in 1865, he left and mined in Nevada, then returned to California to farm in Monterey
County until 1874. He moved to Arizona for two years, and also farmed in Fresno County, but
continued to be listed as a San Luis Obispo County resident from 1874 forward. Storke's
biographical sketch states that Ballou opened one of the first stores in Lompoc. He belonged to
several fraternal organizations and was appointed as light-house keeper at Port Harford around 1890.
Ballou was married to Mary Marshall, and they had one daughter. Lizzie Renkert, a domestic,
resided with the Ballou's at 487 Marsh Street. The City Directory indicates that in 1910,S.D.Ballou
was retired at the age of 64 and still living at that address.
History-Event- None Noted
History-Context-The original foundation has been changed on both of the late nineteenth century
buildings (487 and 497 Marsh Street). The steep pitched double-gabled wood clad cabin was also
placed on a new foundation when moved from its original (unknown)location. It has been surmised
that the cabin may have once been two cabins constructed to house railroad workers prior to the
completion of the railroad line in 1894. This, however is mere conjecture and has not been
substantiated.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Present plans for the Manse on Marsh Street Expansion do not incorporate any of the existing
buildings at 487 or 497 Marsh Street into the project design. Although none of the historic
properties qualify for inclusion in the NRHP or the CRHR,under the CHC guidelines,some of them
may be considered locally significant resources. This section discusses each property and offers
some options for their treatment. However, the CHC will make the determination as to which
mitigation measures are most feasible. The main house and former kitchen/washroom at 497 Marsh
Street are buildings that have been noted for their distinctive styling,design,and link with a locally
significant person. Th nutive cottage has a presence that is noticed by passers by. As with any
important historic resource, the preferred treatment is avoidance. Ifit`possible to design the
pfo'ject to avoidthe two buildings, then other mitigative options may being consi e-3`re One option
may be adaptive reuse to incorporate the properties into the project design. Perhaps the two
buildings could be used as offices or homes for senior housing residents. Another alternativ
involves moving the two buildings together to a comparable location in the city. Demolition would
be an extreme option for the buildings and is not recommended.
The Victorian farmhouse at 487 Marsh Street is not nearly as distinctive in appearance, and is
associated with a less significant individual in San Luis Obispo's history. Impacts of demolition may
be mitigated by documenting the building using a professional photographer with large format black-
and-white photographs to provide a visual record for the community and future researchers.
Demolition is probably not a significant impact;there are probably some salvageable parts, such as
the original kitchen cabinets, wainscoting, and molding, that are worth saving.
The double-gabled cabin at 487C Marsh Street is still a mystery and additional research is required.
It may be possible to extract pertinent information about railroad era housing from the new Railroad
Museum or a local railroad enthusiast. If the building is associated with railroad worker housing
then it may be appropriate to move it to the Railroad Museum grounds or some other railroad related
location. If not associated with railroad housing,the tiny attractive building can easily be moved,or
salvaged for recyclable building fabric after proper photo-documentation has been completed.
The four World War II era buildings are of Spanish Eclectic style, including two small dwellings of
similar design, a garage with an upstairs apartment, and a laundry building. The buildings are not
uncommon, nor are they exceptional examples of Spanish Eclectic architecture. They are not
associated with an important individual or architect. Impacts maybe mitigated by demolition after
documenting the building using a professional photographer with large format black-and-white
photographs to provide a visual record for the community and future researchers. In addition,
salvageable parts could be removed and recycled.
Aside from the buildings, buried historic features, such as privies, may be present on both lots.
They are also resources that will require mitigation through techniques prescribed by the CHC.

e. Other Locational Data:From Highway 101,exit on Marsh Street and proceed east approximately 0.75 mile. Subject property is on the
southwest comer of Marsh and Beach streets.
Pia. Description:The project area consists of a city lot that contains two late nineteenth century(circa 1880)wood-framed buildings. The
buildings originally functioned as a single family residence with a detached kitchen and wash room. However,both buildings now house
commercial businesses,'Jamaica You'hair salon(497 Marsh Street),and'The Golden Paw'dog grooming(4978 Marsh Street) Theone-
story main residence,built circa 1880,fronts Marsh Street but is prominently setback;mature trees and plants line the front yard.
The modest Folk Victorian cottage displays Queen Anne style detailing comprising wooden saw-cut brackets and decorative chamfered
posts supporting the full length drop-roof front porch. Unlike a true Queen Anne style,this Vernacular building has a simpler form with a
symmetrical fagade. It displays a moderate pitched side-gabled roof clad with composition shingles and exhibits wood beveled dropboard
siding. Several historic modifications have occurred on the south elevation,including an extended secondary roof addition. Attached to the
east end of the south elevation addition is a moderate pitched front-gable roofed room that was once a hallway connecting the residence to
the kitchen. It has a more recent wood 10-paned door leading out(south)to an elevated wood deck with a three-foot-high railing. A small
square shed-roof utility room with a wood veneer door extends from the south elevation of the shed addition;it is attached to the west side of
the"hallway" Hidden in overgrown ivy an the west side of the utility shed is what appears to be the residence's original wooden privy seats
The north-facing facade features a set of 212 double-hung windows on either side of a wooden Dutch door with a 9-paned Prairie-style
window at the top and double molded panels at the bottom. Fenestration at the east elevation consists of a pair of 22 wooden double-hung
windows and a bay window with three single glass replacements;the original windows were multi-paned. A small two-paned aluminum
slider is revealed at the west side of the south elevation. Other modem building modifications include the addition of a concrete foundation
and a wooden ramp designed for wheelchair access that leads to a pair of wooden 10-paned french doors at the east elevation The
budding interior has been completely renovated for adaptive reuse as a commercial business.

Temporary Number/Resource Name: 4978 Marsh Street(A.P.N. 003-512-009)
P3a.Description(continued):The secondary building(4978 Marsh Street),dates to circa 1880,and is contemporary with the main
residence located directly to the north. It is presently used as"The Golden Paw",a dog grooming business. The small,Vernacular-
styled building is single-storied and clad with wood beveled horizontal dropboard,and exhibits mismatched fenestration throughout. The
main portion of the building,originally the kitchen,has a shed roof clad with rolled composition roofing. A building addition(wash room)
at the west elevation displays a lower shed roof with two large turbine vents;the two roofs meet to form an uneven front gable: A small
front-gabled addition is at the west side of the north fa,fade. Once part of the hallway that connected the two buildings,it is now
truncated and exhibits a modem wood veneer door with an upper aluminum slider and a lower wood panel. The building fagade features
a solid wood door with a fixed pane over a small denticulated sill,and four molded panels. East of the door is a wood-framed single-
paned window.
The building sits on a wrest-trending slope and much of the building,mostly at the west elevation,sits directly on the ground. However.
traces of concrete slab appears in some locations. A concrete retaining wall has been placed on the east and south elevations of the
building,probably when the sidewalk was installed. A single,horizontal window displaying eight linear vertical panes and an exterior
wood-framed screen is the only fenestration on the east elevation. At the rear of the building(south elevation)are a 1/1 paned fixed
window with a metal lower vent above it on the east side and a 6-paned fixed window on the west side. Thick shrubbery covers much of
the south elevation. The west elevation exhibits one completely boarded-up window,a partially boarded-up window equipped with an air
conditioner,and a modem aluminum slider. A wood 6-paned(Praise-style),2-paneled door with exterior screen door is at the north end.
A tiny shed-roofed utility(hot water heater?)shed of plywood construction,and set on pier blocks,is centered on the west elevation.
Inside the building,beneath the pegboard,is the original wood shiplap and interior molding.

Temporary Number/Resource Name: 487C Marsh Street- Secondary Residence
A small double-gabled Vernacular styled cabin,located at the southeast comer of the subject parcel,is rectangular shaped and measures
approximately 18-feet 8-inches by 16-feet 34nches. The two parallel roofs are front-gabled,each with a steep pitch,and are clad with composition
shingles. A small side-gabled wing,housing a bathroom,has been added to the south side of the east elevation. The walls are all clad with
horizontal clapboard siding. In the center of the west side of the facade is a wood door with one panel and a four-paned window,it has a glass
doorknob. Wood single-paned windows are on either side. The west side of the facade features a wood single-paned three-paneled door with old
hardware.including a metal doorknob:a wood two-paned window is on the east side. Small,triangular-shaped windows have more recently been
placed at the apex of each gable- The building appears to be elevated on piers,and a wooden porch floor with a simple wood rail exists at the
facade. A small cross-gabled wing is on the south side of the east elevation to accommodate a bathroom in the tiny building. A wood single-panes
window is centered on the east elevation of the wing. Wooden stairs leading up to the residence at 487D Marsh Street are sandwiched between this
building and the garage to the west.
It is surmised that the dwelling was once two small buildings that were later joined together in the center. It was moved to its present location in
about 1940. The building style and construction materials are reminiscent of an earlier period,possibly during the Railroad Construction Era(pre-
1894). No building permits or other records provide clues to the origin of the building(s). They were either moved onto the property from an
unknown location,or it is possible that these are the two tiny buildings removed from their original locations behind the main residence when the
Spanish Eclectic buildings were constructed on the property in about 1940. One of the buildings was originalty a 14foot by 16-foot chicken coop
constructed in 1924. The other was a tiny studio apartment or ancillary building,built after 1909,with dimensions measuring approximately 12-feet
by 10-feet. However,the sizes don't coincide with that of the present building footprint and the building appears to predate the former two
buildings.

Re: Airplane flights over San Luis Obispo ❑ HR DIR
a /I
Dear Mr. Mayor and Council members:
During the last two years,the noise and appearance of airplane flights over San Luis Obispo have
become a nuisance in my neighborhood. It has become obvious that private pilots prefer a path
over the city,turning north from the airport and climbing over the Cheapskate (South Street) Hills.
On weekends these flights are frequent and loud, since small aircraft apparently are not equipped
With mufflers. During simmer months when windows are open, the noise disrupts life inside
buildings. It appears that the city is a tourist attraction for pilots as well as earth-bound folks,to the
unhappiness and risk of city residents.
Staff at the airport have been responsive to my complaints, explaining the limitations that exist on
pilots as well as their operation, but powerless to act. It is difficult to identify planes, and no
penalties exist for low or noisy flights. They have explained that this route over the Exposition Drive
neighborhood is subject to an altitude restriction of some kind,which has been identified variously
as 700 or 1200 feet, and is set by City ordinance. If a plane flies low, its identification may not be
visible by the time it can be seen. Often, planes are so loud that even though they apparently
comply with this restriction, they are worse than a distraction and constitute a loud, abrasive
intrusion. Particularly noisome are the private jets that occasionally buzz the city.
Besides noise, I am more concerned about public safety than earlier. During the months after
9/11/01, 1 have hesitated writing a complaint to you since it might appear opportunistic. However,
upon reflection I must add a comment that the City should consider the safety of its citizens from
accidental and intentional crashes.
My request is that you negotiate on behalf of all of San Luis Obispo's residents, to move all flight
paths away from the city. Pilots could easily fly on the commercial path over Los Osos Valley,
continuing past the city and turn north over the Seven Sisters outside the city.
I do not know the details of the Margarita discussions,as to the reported"flight path"that extends
over that area. My information is that the main flight path extends out Los Osos Valley,and a noise
and safety"cone" radiates out from that path. If there in fact is a recognized flight path over the
Margarita area, it should be moved away as I have suggested to improve the safety and livability
of the city. Because the Airport Specific Plan, the Airport Master Plan and the Margarita Specific
Plan are all currently on the table, I hope that you and staff will give full support to my request in
these matters.
Sincerely,

1. 1 must protest the secretive way the City has
dealt with the County Airport Land Use
Commission to achieve a"compromise"about the
Margarita area specific plan. The city has
sent representatives from the council to work out the
details of the specific design of the Margarita area,
but the public has been excluded from that process.
Granted, there will be additional public hearings
(Planning Comrnission,Council), but by then the details
of the plan will have been more or less settled,
without public input. A similar situation
occurred with the secret deals between the City and
the Dalidio owners to produce a"compromise plan"for
the Dalidio property without input from the public.
Behind-closed-doors deals like these are undemocratic
and probably violate the intent and spirit of the
Brown Act. The public would be much better served if
they(the public)could be involved in these
decision-making processes at all steps of the process,
including the initial scoping and"alternatives
analysis"parts.
2. Apparently the Citywishes less restrictive 1973

make compromises in the more current ALUP standards
and criteria just so the city can bring in more
housing in the Margarita area. The Airport Land Use
Commission should be thinking of the long-term
implications of the current planning proposals for the
Margarita area. Obviously the San Luis Obispo airport
will need to grow as the local population grows.
Perhaps more jet aircraft will be using the airport.
It does not make sense to compromise safety and noise
standards so that the City can maximize the amount of
housing in the Margarita area. Yes, the City needs
more housing, but there are better ways to achieve it,
such as the increase in allowed density in infill
areas. The key feature of San Luis Obispo's housing
problem is affordability. Any new housing built in
the Margarita area is likely to be very expensive in
any scenario. Squeezing in a few more housing units
will mean that a few more affluent families will have
the opportunity to purchase very expensive homes or
condos. This will do very little to solve the basic
imbalance of supply and demand for truly affordable
housing in the San Luis Obispo area. On the other
hand, any decisions now to increase the amount of
housing will hamper the operations of the airport in
the future as airport use increases. We have seen
similar situations in places like Los Angeles
International Airport,where vast tracts of suburban
houses, mostly built in the 1950s, had to be removed
near the airport to avoid safety and noise issues as
the use of the airport intensified in later years.
3.The proposed alignment of Prado Road will not be
compatible with certain planning principles for the
Margarita area. The so-called 'northern alignment'of
Prado Road (as approved by city council in early 2001)
would intrude into the hillside area which contains
sensitive plant species, riparian/stream habitat,
archaeological resources, visual appeal, and value as
an open space area which could be used for purposes
such as hiking and picnicking.All of these resources
would be ruined by the Prado Road northern alignment.
This is incompatible with the following planning
principles for the Margarita area:
5-Protect rare plant communities on the hills
The northern alignment of Prado Road requires cut and
fill grading in an area of sensitive plants and
sensitive archaeological resources. Also,the
northern alignment could cause damage to the riparian
habitats of the creeks it would cross... For example,
the roadway would block migration of animals, the cut
and fill would alter the natural drainage
pattern into the creek, and the runoff from the road
will likely deliver oils or other pollutants from
vehicles into the waterways.A superior choice is the
Tank Farm Road alignment(as discussed by Council in
early(Jan.?)2001) because it eliminates all these
4e Price Public comment-Council he-�ng 3/19/02 Agenga Item 1 (Margarita/Airp^rt,plan)^_ Page 3
problems.
6-Protect unstable areas of the hills as open space
The northern alignment of Prado Road runs directly
adjacent to hillside open space,
diminishing the value of the open space due to the
proximity of traffic and the noise of traffic and the
visual impact of the road. For people wishing to use
the hillside area for passive recreation (hiking,
observing nature, picnicking, etc.)the adjacent
roadway will be a safety hazard because of the
proximity of people and high-speed traffic. Also, if
a sports field is built south of the northern
alignment
of Prado Road (adjacent to Broad Street), there will
be additional safety concerns because of the
pedestrian tunnels that would run beneath Prado Road.
These tunnels will be dangerous areas for children and
the presence of these tunnels will probably lead to
other problems such as vandalism, grafitti,
potential assaults, loitering, etc.
In addition, the proposed density of housing
directly adjacent to the southwest flank of the
hillsides will not protect unstable areas of the hills
as open space. These denser housing areas (containing
medium and medium high density)will require measures
such as cut and fill for lot grading. This will not
protect the base of the hills as open space.
In order to meet the goal "protect unstable areas of
the hills as open space"there should be some kind of
buffer zone directly adjacent to the steeper slopes.
The buffer zone could include areas such as linear
parks, bike paths, gardens, playgrounds, etc. So the
higher density housing should be moved further away
from the hillsides in order to meet this goal.
7-Protect highly visible areas of the hills as open
space
The northern alignment of Prado Road is highly
visible from Broad Street.The roadway would create an
ugly visual scar against the backdrop of the
hillsides.
8-Protect water ways as open space corridors for
wildlife habitat and movement
The waterways (Acacia Creek and the other nearby
creek)would be negatively affected
by the northern alignment of Prado Road.The cut and
fill grading and the heavy traffic on Prado Road would
hinder movement of wildlife. The city believes that
tunnels under Prado Road would provide some corridors
for movement of wildlife but this is unproven.
Wildlife would probably still try to cross the Prado
Road, causing some wildlife to be killed in traffic.
9-Provide an arterial road for east-west circulation
connecting Broad Street with a
Highway 101 interchange while avoiding through traffic
in the existing and new residential areas.
The arterial that would best meet these goals would
Lee Price- comment-Council h g 3/19/02 Agenga Item 1 (Margarita/Airp^tet plan) _ Page 4
be the Tank Farm Road alignment
of Prado Road. Such an alignment would allow the
residential areas to receive less through traffic
while diverting the main flow of traffic from
Broad Street to Tank Farm Road and then either on to
Prado Road or continuing on Tank Farm Road to connect
at US 101 and Los Osos Valley Road. The Tank Farm
Road alignment of Prado Road would allow Prado Road to
end in a cul-de-sac at the southern part the Garcia
property, and would allow traffic from Broad Street to
diverge either southbound (via Tank Farm Road to South
Higuera Street and then to US 101/Los Osos Valley
Road), or northbound (either onto South Higuera Street
or onto a future interchange at Prado/US 101). In
contrast, the northern alignment of Prado Road will
bring a higher volume of traffic from Broad street,
then through the new residential areas adjacent to
Prado Road, and past the existing residential areas on
Prado Road (mobile home park on Prado near South
Higuera),then to South Higuera and Prado Road
junction where traffic would go north (on South
Higuera Street or 101/Prado). Thus,with the emphasis
on a through arterial through the Margarita as
currently planned, it will not be possible to
avoid through traffic in the existing and new
residential areas to the extent possible with the Tank
Farm Road alignment of Prado Road.
I urge the city to revise the Margarita area plan
to respond to the above concerns.
