CONCEPT REVIEW - ROOF REPLACEMENT AT THE LUTHER  
BURBANK GARDENS - 204 SANTA ROSA AVE  
BACKGROUND: The project involves replacing the existing asphalt  
shingle roof material on the Main House and the Carriage House at  
Luther Burbank Home and Gardens. The proposal is to use a similar  
asphalt shingle material. Additionally, select gutters and downspout will  
be repaired and replaced where necessary. On the Main House, a  
section of existing roofing connecting the porch roof will not be replaced  
to restore the break between the main house as evident during the  
historical period. All work to both structures will proceed according to  
recommendations of the City’s Historic Architectural consultants,  
Treanor and Associates. The request for the Cultural Heritage Board to  
provide comments and direction for a concept review item is exempt  
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because there is  
no possibility that the action will have any effect on the environment  
(CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378).
