Math matters
Dear Editor:
Thanks to Sarah Torribio for the excellent piece on Common Core math in the
Todays Parent special.
I can see why it would be challenging
for teachers and parents. They have to
teach kids basic algebraic concepts on top
of basic arithmetic, all at earlier ages.
Its a lot to bite off, but if the kids succeed at grasping the concepts, they will
have a much better understanding of math
as a whole, and algebra will be much more
intuitive for them when they get into its
more complex topics later.
Its funny that these are concepts I figured out intuitively to excel in math back
when we learned it the rote way. But back
then I thought it was just because my brain
worked differently, I didnt realize it might
be helpful for others to think this way too.

Dear Editor:
Almost every morning for the last twoand-a-half years, I have driven up Indian
Hill Boulevard at 7:35 a.m. to drop my
daughter off at CHS. It is a perfect loop for
me to continue up to Base Line and turn
right on my way to work. This is my routine, five days a week. And every morning,
seemingly without fail, you have been at
your post, doing your job at the intersection of Base Line and Mills.
You stand out, by design, of course, in
your reflective vest, your cap and handheld stop sign. The crosswalks on the north
and west sides of the intersection are your
domain, and the children of Chaparral Elementary are your charges.
You clearly take your job seriously. I see
you, with almost military precision, monitor the lights and position yourself tactically to make sure each and every young
student, whether on foot or riding a bike,
makes it across this very busy and dangerous crossing to safety.
While stopped at the light, in my shabby
old van, Ive often tried to catch your attention to give you a thumbs up, to let you
know you are doing a great job. But Ive
never been able to catch your eye, and perhaps that shouldnt surprise me. You are focused on your jobon the children.
I have two daughters who never crossed
at your intersection. They went to
Sycamore and didnt have to cross such a
dangerous street. But if they had I would
have felt totally secure in the knowledge
that you were there for them.

City landscaping requirements drive costs way up

ollowing a disappointing
report, the Claremont City
Council approved a contract extension with CLS Landscape Management for park
maintenance programs at the
February 23 council meeting.

The extension comes on the heels of the


city putting out requests for local landscape
companies using new paCITY
rametersno chemicals,
COUNCIL
no leaf blowers and no
weeds and an increase of mulch use in
plantersthat was met with a tepid response. Interim Community Services Director Pat Malloy was on hand to present
the item to council.
The current deal with CLS is based on
limited use of chemicals, the use of battery
or electric blowers and varying degrees of
weed tolerance, according to Mr. Malloy.
That contract, which cost the city $657,068
annually, was set to expire on April 24.
According to Mr. Malloy, CLS was the
only company that sent a bid on the new
stipulations and, at $3 million a year, the
bid was a far cry from the current maintenance cost. No other company wanted
to touch the citys new parameters, citing
the need for chemicals to destroy weeds
and a lack of staff needed to comply with
the new specifications.
Staff was stunned, Mr. Malloy said.

In addition, the amount CLS proposed


to continue working with the city, with
electric leaf blowers and chemicals,
amounted to $1,505,589 annually. The
price of using gas blowers, which are prohibited under the Claremont Municipal
Code (CMC), was $996,088 annually, according to the agenda report.
Given this new information, and a
need to keep the mowers moving, the city
then negotiated an extension period with
CLS under the current conditions through
April 27, 2017 at a ten percent increased
cost of $722,775$395,121 for park
landscape management and $327,654 for
citywide right-of-way landscape management.
[The extension] will give us time to step
back and reevaluate the citys positions on
our landscape maintenance, Mr. Malloy
said.
Part of the staff recommendation is a
$30,000 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review on the citys restriction of leaf blowers in the city. Part of
the CMC mandates the prohibition of leaf
blowers on city-owned properties, but the
current contract and extension with CLS
calls for electric and battery powered
leaf-blowers.
According to Claremont Director of
Community Development Brian Desatnik,
the $30,000 cost of the CEQA review
comes from the citys request to look over
two possible changes to the CMCto allow gas-powered leaf blowers, the emis-

sions of which met the standards of the


South Coast Air Quality Management
(AQMD) standards as well as city noise
codes.
The council was disappointed with the
results of the report, which showed during
discussion. It does look as if business as
usual is going to cost us more, Councilmember Joe Lyons said.
City Manager Tony Ramos told the
council that the extension is needed to assess the situation.
I think there needs to be a lot of community dialogue that needs to happen with
this issue, and thats why we need the next
six months to create that dialogue for us
to come back with a good presentation and
recommendation to the city council on how
to address this issue, Mr. Ramos said.
Were really clear on the council directive on wanting to be chemical-free,
leaf-blower free, everything free, but as you
can see, nothings free, Mr. Ramos
quipped.
Councilmember Sam Pedroza floated
the idea of a policy change instead of a fullblown CEQA review, to which Mr. Ramos
responded that the city would be threatened
with a lawsuit if the proper CEQA channels were not followed.
The council eventually passed the
staffs recommendation, 5-0.
Later in the meeting, the city also voted to approve a new, full-time Program
Manager position within Sustainable
Claremont that would focus on the City of

Trees running in both the Georgetown


University Energy Prize (GUEP) and the
Cool California Challenge. The person in
the position will facilitate the citys position within both competitions and work to
keep Claremont in the running.
Sustainable Claremont sought up to
$25,000 in one-time co-funding from the
city for the position in a period lasting up
to 12 months, with the organization paying for the other half of the positions salary.
Currently, Claremont is in 20th place in
the GUEP but is far ahead in first place in
the Cool California Challenge. The winner of the GUEP will receive a $5 million
prize, and Claremont is currently the only
Southern California city in the running for
the nationwide contest.
Sustainable Claremont Chair Steve
Sabicer told the council the hire would play
a vital role in securing Claremonts position in the GUEP.
Council voted, 4-1, to provide $25,000
for staffing the full-time program manager
position with Sustainable Claremont.
Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali was the
only dissenter. He originally sought a motion to pay the citys half of the salary with
an interest-free loan payable within five
years.
The next city council meeting will take
place on March 8.

Zone change for new museum site pushed again

controversial zone change on College Avenue was pushed once more


to the next Planning Commission
meeting March 15.
The move made during the March 1 commission
meeting is meant to merge the zone change, located at
211 and 239 College Avenue, into the public hearing
on the revised Pomona College master plan, according
to Director of Community Services Brian Desatnik. The
zone change has previously been sought by the college

in order to build the proposed Pomona College Museum of Art on the property.
The zone was initially grouped with six other zones
the city planned to change after an apparent oversight
during the adoption of the citys master plan in 2006.
Pomona College has requested that they remove
that zone change from the package of seven properties
in order for them to move their master plan project forward in a timely manner, Mr. Desatnik said at the
meeting. And so weve complied with that request.
In addition to the zone change and the full master

plan, the planning commission will also be considering


the final environmental impact report (EIR) for the
master plan and the statement of overriding considerations and mitigation, monitoring and reporting program.
Mr. Desatnik said Pomona College grouped the zone
change with the approval of their master plan in an effort to shave a few months off the process.
I think what they thought was the master plan approval could go concurrently with the zone change
process, but it cant. It has to be sequential, Mr. Desatnik said. The zone change would have to be comZONE CHANGE/continues on page 13

City approves removal of oak tree for Base Line development

espite concerns raised by commissioners that the city had already


pre-approved a tree removal,
members of the Community and Human
Services Commission pushed forward
with the removal of a healthy holly oak
tree at the Serrano II housing development
on Base Line Road.

The commissions approval, placed in the agendas


consent calendar for the Wednesday, March 2 meeting, will allow the city to remove a holly oak tree
from the 700 block of Base Line Road to accommodate a new entrance to the development, according to
the minutes of the February 17 committee meeting.
During that meeting, Senior City Planner Mark
Carnahan emphasized that, according to the citys
Tree Policies and Guidelines Manual, the community services staff and arborist have the authority to
approve a request for a tree removal if the tree is
deemed hazardous.
Mr. Carnahan argued that the tree, described by
Claremont city arborist Jeremy Cawn as a healthy
mature tree, would be hazardous to vehicles on the
new development entrance.
During the meeting, commissioner Butch Henderson suggested that the tree be transplanted, to which
Mr. Cawn said the roots were under the sidewalk and
it would be difficult to facilitate a successful transplant.
Commissioner Lynne Marsenich noted that she felt
like she was being asked to rubber-stamp a decision
that has already been made, asking at what point the
tree committee could have been briefed on the matter.
Commissioner Lee Kane moved that the community
and services commission approve the decision to remove the tree, as well as allowing Mr. Cawn the authority to determine if any additional trees need to be
removed during the Serrano IIs roadway construction.
The approval to remove the tree was passed, along
with the rest of the consent calendar, with unanimous
approval from the commission. Matthew Bramlett

District addresses efficiency upgrades, aims for Prop 39 money

he district is eager to get its hands


on Prop 39 funding, but its a long
and labyrinthine process. As a result, John Burdette of JB3 Consulting is
helping the district navigate the job.

He gave a for-information-only presentation at the


February 19 school board meeting, giving the board
some preliminary recommendations as to which energy-efficiency upgrades to pursue.
First, some background is in order.
When Prop 39, or the California Clean Energy Job
Act, was approved in 2012, it altered
SCHOOL
the corporate income tax code. The
BOARD
projected revenueup to $550 million annuallywas allocated to the states general
fund as well as to Californias Clean Energy Job Creation Fund.
Eligible local education agencies (LEAs), including
school districts, can request Prop 39 funding by submitting an energy expenditure plan application to the
California Energy Commission.
Claremont Unified School District stands to get
$1.4 million out of the bargain, $130,000 of which
was received last year. The district used $110,500 of
that to pay JB3 Consulting for guidance.
Mr. Burdette has gotten a good start on the eightstep process. Hes visited each Claremont school,
conducting an energy audit and rating the sites from
most to least energy-efficient. He has also identified
eligible projects.
At the recent meeting, Mr. Burdettes PowerPoint
presentation included, among other data, which energy-saving measures the California Energy Commission tends to green-light.

guarantee a T-shirt. Please indicated shirt size as
youth or adult (small, medium, large or extra
large.)
For information, email Alexandria Franco at
afranco@cusd.claremont.edu.

A LIGHTING UPGRADE
Lighting projects have the highest approval rating,
with some 47 percent of LEAs getting the go-ahead to
upgrade their lighting.
Mr. Burdettes first recommendation is that the district switch out the bulbs in all of its existing light fixtures to LED lights, a process CUSD has already
begun, according to Facilities Director Rick Cota.
Mr. Burdette estimates that LED bulbs would cost
some $160,000 and that hiring a contractor to install
them would likely double that cost. As a result, he
suggested that the district consider using workers supplied by the California Conservation Core (CCC), a
government program where young people aged 18 to
25 are trained in vocational skills while working on
jobs that improve the environment.
The Energy Corps is a division of the CCC undertaking energy-efficiency measures funded by Prop 39.
The CCC Energy Corps sends crews out to school
sites to do electrical work under the supervision of a
districts electrician. Given the cost, free of charge,
Mr. Burdette said its a great idea for CUSD.
According to the CCC website, the Energy Corps
currently has a hold on taking applications for energy
retrofit projects, because the crews are inundated with
time-sensitive work associated with Prop 39. Any person or agency, however, can sign up to be notified
when applications are again being received.
PLUG LOAD CONTROLS
Mr. Burdette also advised the district to take advantage of plug load controls. A plug load includes the
devices plugged into a standard electrical outlet
things like computers, monitors, small appliances, cell
phone chargers, vending machines, printers, TVs and
audio visual equipment.
Considerable power is used by devices on standby
or even, in a phenomenon called vampire plug
loads, by those in off-mode. Vampire plug loads are
said to account for as much as 25 percent of a buildings energy consumption.
A plug load control saves that wasted energy by automatically shutting down power sent to electronics
devices that can safely be switched off at night.
HVAC UPGRADE
A third priority would be addressing the HVAC
systems at CUSD sites, all of which are aging. The
models vary, as do their levels of power and efficiency. The newest, situated at the district office, dates
from 2002. The oldest, those serving the
Sumner/Danbury campuses, hail from the mid-to-late
90s.
Mr. Burdette estimates that to replace the districts
entire HVAC systemlike for like, aiming for minimum efficiency modelswould cost $5,670,500.

Mid- and high-efficiency units would cost more but


use less power. Mid-level units may be a good option
if its determined the high-efficiency models are too
expensive or put undue weight on the flat roofs at
CUSD school sites.
The district may elect to replace its entire fleet of
HVAC units or update them a few at a time. However
its done, Mr. Burdette advised it be done soon.
Many of these units are at or past their useful life.
I highly recommend you start replacing them in the
next five years, so theres no catastrophic breakdown, he said.
There are a lot of moving parts as the board decides
which projects to pursue in the districts energy expenditure plan.
Its likely CUSD will install LED bulbs wherever
needed and invest in plug load controls, as they are
relatively low-cost measures compared to the HVAC
project.
To upgrade the HVAC system on a wide scale
would cost far more than the Prop 39 money available
to the district. From the start, Mr. Burdette has advised that CUSD look for ways to leverage Prop 39
money.
Prop 39 money can, for instance, be used to augment a facilities upgrade already being undertaken. It
can be leveraged via a low-interest or no-interest loan.
Or, it can be bolstered with money from a grant or a
bond.
As reported in the last issue of the COURIER, the
school district has begun to explore the possibility of
putting a school bond measure on the November 2016
ballot. Much discussion among CUSD stakeholders
will take place now through June when the board
votes on whether or not to float a bond.
The next step in crafting the applicationand in
guiding any direction the board will give Mr. Burdette
in the processis to look at the savings-to-investment
ratio of the energy-saving projects the district hopes
to pursue.
In the coming days and weeks, Mr. Burdette will
produce some more numbers. For instance, he will
figure out how much high or even higher-efficiency
HVAC systems would save the district in power bills
over the course of 20 years.
When planning which HVAC systems to replace
first, CUSD should probably take into account
whether a school is open for summer school, according to Mr. Cota.
It makes more sense to change out that sites unit
than one at a school that that shuts down in June, he
said.

No need to leave Claremont for excitement


by John Pixley

hadnt gone to Los Angeles in a


month and a half, since I went to a
friends open house on New Years
Day. And now I knew why.
It wasnt because I was taking a long winters nap
after a busy, stressful December and traveling over the
holidays. It wasnt because there were plenty of yearend movies to catch up on at the Laemmle theater or
because Claremont is so pleasant and beautiful during
these cool (if not cold) months. It wasnt because
things were okay here, even with nothing going on at
the Colleges over the long break between semesters.
I told myself this was why I hadnt ventured very
far out of town for about six weeks, but then I remembered when my friend and I got on the freeway to go
to LA a few weeks ago for dinner with a friend and a
play.
Traffic. Thats what I remembered. Thats what I
was missing. Or not missing.
It was Saturday afternoon, we were driving towards
the city and we were stuck in traffic, bumper to
bumper at two or three points. It wasnt five-o-clock
traffic. And it wasnt rush hour.
No, this was business as usual, as I remembered. I
told my friend, as we sat in traffic, I am seeing more
and more reasons to stay in Claremont.
But the bad traffic isnt the only reason to stay in
Claremont. It isnt even the real reason to stick around
here, as Im also reminded of these days.
Just a week later, another friend made the comment
that we dont need to go to LA. That was clear after
seeing the Ophelias Jump production of Christopher
Durangs Vanya, Sonia, Masha and Spike.
I have seen a number of shows put on by this tiny,
four-year-old, Claremont-based theater company. All
have been top-notch, but the company outdid itself
with this comic masterpiece, which brilliantly riffs off
the works of Chekov, directed by Caitlin Lopez.
When the play was done at the Mark Taper Forum
early last year under the direction of David Hyde
Pierce of Frasier fame, the Los Angeles Times critic
Charles McNulty declared it better than the Broadway
production. I saw the play at the Taper, and I enjoyed
the Ophelias Jump production just as much if not
even more, even though the lights went out during the
show I saw.

observer
What was most remarkable was that this was done
in the barest of roomsa place where the lights really
could go outin a storefront in an industrial mall. The
stripped-down venue, along with the effective but
minimal set designed by Beatrice Casagran, only highlighted the wonderful dialogue and, especially, the superb acting. The six-member ensemble was stunning,
but Id be remiss if I didnt give special notice to Trajei Wright, hilarious as the housekeeper with some extra skills, and Ms. Casagran, again, so soulful and
mopey as the put-upon, adopted daughter Sonia.
Ophelias Jump Productions is clearly a labor of
love (Ms. Casagran also did the costumes for this
show), and I hope it is successful in its search for a
theater to call its own, although I also hope it continues to put on its summer two-play Shakespeare Festival at the lovely Greek Theater on the Pomona College campus. This is a tiny gem of a company, shining
bright, bringing provocative and sometimes challenging LA and world-class theater to the Claremont area.
World-class. Provocative. Challenging. Thats also
what came to mind when I saw Invisible Anatomy at
Pomona College two weeks before, in early February.
The electronic music group is from New York City,
and I felt like I was in New York City when I saw its
performance in Lyman Hall.
With keyboards and guitars enhanced by computergenerated effects, the group lead a steady musical adventure lasting a bit more than an hour, backlit by
bright white neon tubes. Whats more, it featured a vocalist named Fay Wang, who sang and gyrated, not unlike Yoko Ono, and is herself an artist of some repute.
The performance of new pieces that the group members had composed definitely had a big-city edge, with
the artists sharing a new vision in a relatively new
medium.
But there was something even more exciting. There
was a Claremont connection, or at least a Pomona
College connection, in this brave new group. Its guitarist and one of its composers, Brendon Randall-My-

ers, is a graduate of the college, class of 2009. At least


in the world of modern music, this was a particularly
exciting case of someone contributing based, at least
in part, from his experience in Claremont.
Such experience was what was celebrated a week
later in a concert at Bridges Hall, where Mr. RandallMyers also performed. This time, he was one of eight
Pomona College graduates who are successful musicians featured in a special Alumipalooza, in honor
of the halls centennial year.
This was again a performance that, with this unique
twist, brought the big city here with the artists having
won acclaim since graduating from Pomona. Mr. Randall-Myers not only had a piece performed by pianist
Kathleen Supove 73 (along with electronics); he also
played guitar with fellow 2009 graduate, and vocalist
and pianist Noah Dietterich, performing with Alex
Pfender as the indie-folk duo, yOya. Ms. Supove also
performed with soprano Lucy Shelton 65, arguably
the most renowned artist featured (one piece was by
Pomona College faculty emeritus Karl Kohn).
Ms. Shelton was also accompanied by pianist Raj
Bhimani 82. Mr. Bhimani and Ms. Shelton performed
other pieces, including with Katharine Rawdon 82 on
flute, Lucas Harris 96 and soprano Hayden Eberhart
07. On a piece by Henry Purcell, Ms. Shelton, Ms.
Eberhart and Mr. Harris were accompanied by faculty
member Roger Lebow on the cello.
This was a broad-range concert, with a wide spectrum of artists and music (from Purcell to RandallMyers), true to its palooza name.
Another concert a week later in Bridges Hall was
just as broad-ranging but also quite unique, as LA Harpette took to the stage with Pomona College with faculty member Mary Dropkin, this was a quartet of
harpists.
The music ranged from Handel and Debussy to
songs from American musicals. It may have been less
challengingwith the notably large audience, there
was a pops concert feelbut seeing this music played,
and played very well, on four large, beautiful harps,
wasnt a typical concert experience.
If all this wasnt reason not to leave Claremont for
excitement in the last few weeks, there was the anti-illegal alien protest, complete with bull-horns and sidewalk debates with students, that happened when the
Democratic congress leader spoke at Garrison Theater.
Who needs the big city, at least for now?

Traffic diversion
Dear Editor:
I fully agree with Mark Von Wodtkes
caution that the council take a step back
and look at the overpass. I notesuggestions concerning a rail overpass, or a below-level pass through downtown Claremont.
Has there been any suggestion whereby
the on and off ramps of the 10 freeway at
Indian Hill be closed, and that Claremonts access to the 10 freeway be either
Towne Avenue or Monte Vista Avenue?
Less urgent north-south traffic on Indian Hill might then tolerate frequent rail
stops. Thus, expensiveconstruction projects would not be urgent.

utes intact are the very things that have are ignoring the critical symbolism and

value of place. In fact, the case is just the


opposite.
Maintaining a sense of place is a fundamental concern of those of us who advocate for historic preservation. Geographer Pierce Lewis has called the historical
landscape of a place our unwitting autobiography because of its capacity to disclose information about us that we did not
consciously mean to communicate.
In the Village, that unwitting autobiography is written in the historic fabric
of the built environment and the ways
people interacted with it ever since Claremont was founded in 1887 and Pomona
College the following year, in 1888.
Over the 128 years since then, residents and visitors have gained an impressionan understanding of who were
are and what kind of town this isin
large part by traveling the streets of the
Village. Although not explicitly stated in
a motto emblazoned anywhere, it is obvious that this is a town whose residents
prize the natural environment, history, education and small business.
College Avenue is a critical element in
that autobiography, creating that sense of
place residents and visitors absorb and
understand. The Victorian homes south of
Bonita on the east side, the mix of Craftsman and contemporary homes north of
Eighth Street, the mature eucalyptus trees
and the Pomona College buildings that
line College Avenue all express Claremonts values and its history.
Consequently, every element of that
complex fabric and the way in which they
are sited, the ways they interact with one
another, are essential to the towns sense
of place. Mr. Comba makes the point that
the proposed museum of art will be an
identifiable part of the cultural fabric of
this city. I have no argument with that
claim.
However, moving Renwick House to
make way for it, locating that historic
structure on the east side of College Avenue, will take the home out of its proper
historical context and diminish the sense
of place created by a structure standing in
the location where it was built and has ex-

isted ever since.


Mr. Combas claim that those of us opposed to siting the museum on the west
side of College dont understand the value
of place is patently false. Advocating for
preserving Renwick House in its current
location is all about maintaining our
sense of place.

Prop 50
Dear Editor:
The League of Women Voters supports
Prop 50 on June 7. This constitutional
amendment would give each house of the
Legislature clear authority to suspend,
with a two-thirds vote, a member and
withhold pay and benefits.
Prop 50 is a straightforward way for
lawmakers to hold their own colleagues
accountable for breaching the publics
trust. Such actions are highly unusual.
Over the years, five senators have been
expelled, and several senators accused of
corruption resigned in 1985. The Assembly has never suspended or expelled a
member.
This issue is important and we want
every voter to know about it so that they
can study the issue with plenty of time to
make a decision on how to vote.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, March 4, 2016

[Editors note: The following letter was sent


to Samuel Glick, chair of the Pomona College
Board of Trustees, with a copy forwarded to
the COURIER for publication. KD]

Museum matters

Dear Mr. Glick:


Thank you for your very gracious letter.I appreciate your taking the time to read
the various materials that I had earlier sent
the president and the board including the
argument for greater cultural density of activities benefiting the city and the other colleges. It is still unclear from your response
whether all the trustees saw my letter.
In my mind, the current location adjacent to city properties and in the core of the
community is too important to select
without more benefitsaccruing to the citizens.
As Pomona is only going to build one
museum, I believe that it is more important to really think this through with a
broader and more diverse public impute,
than to rush a single silo academic approach forward that is narrowly conceived as a study museum rather than a cultural center.
It appears that the design was cast
some time ago, and that Pomona has proceeded without doing an adequate job of
collecting information about alternative approaches that have added vitality to other
university museums. It may benefit the resumes and careers of a couple of administrators to say that this was done on their
watch, but is this really the best the daring minds at Pomona can do?

READERS COMMENTS

You spoke about the need to compromise, but it is Pomona that hasnt budged,
despite the evidence brought forward.I
know other citizens and design professionals have also given it a withering critique.
Rather than waste resources in litigation,
which Pomona has apparently threatened
to do, why doesnt Pomona compromise?
Accept the up to $8 million that I have offered you and work with the city of Claremont and the other colleges to do some effective programming rather than a token
community room with unspecified uses,
no commitment to a percentage for public art and craft integrated into the building (rather than plopped around it in
l970s style), no respect for the context of
the historic buildings along College Avenue, and an apparently little understanding of the new urbanism of mixed uses that
can keep it a lively environment until midnight most nights of the week. A classic
film and documentary theater and caf
could do this.Such films were available
when I was a student only a block
away.Wellesley College in Massachusetts
did this, and apparently, Riverside has recently done it.
Because Pomona has such a large endowment, they can afford to build without
soliciting too much outside advice, and this
is not necessarily such a good idea.
With a passive board of trustees (again
according to a former chairman of the

board who said it was a rubber stamp and


perhaps too willing to let the administration tell them what to think), the plan has
proceeded without broad consultation.
It is architecturally inappropriate, at too
low a scale or respect for the vocabulary
of the best Pomona buildings,shows no
concern for commissioning living artists,
and simply doesnt understand the virtues
of an Athenaeum atmosphere that Claremont McKenna created with a private patron decades ago. How many Pomona
trustees havehad dinner and listened to a
speaker there?
To put it rather plainly, it may create the
hazard of dysfunction brought about by arrogance and naivet.The fact that the director of the art museum never contacted
me doesnt bode well for building a supportive group of patrons, which Pomona
has long needed.
Build a structure that cossets them as
well as the community and that inspires student/faculty dining societies that build intellectual content and create real value for
Claremont citizens who can use it. Otherwise, move it to another site within the
approved master plan, and proceed with
this rather uninspiring building that looks
like a l950s shopping center and will be
shuttered most evenings because it doesnt initiate a conversation with the street.
You mentioned coming to Massachusetts in May and I would enjoy welcoming you to Bellevue House in Newport,
where I could show you the level of
quality that you can obtain for a library dining room with rich paneling and architectural detail that can be achieved for $2.5

million.Why would you turn this opportunity at Pomona down?Does Pomona


have a single elegant building on the entire campus?
Take a deep breath and do some more
planning as both the trustees of the Frick
and the New York Public Library were required to do as a result of public opposition to their plans.It is better to listen than
to sue.
No one is against an art museum, so
dont interpret this as a negative letter; I am
a Pomona loyalist with a long list of funding little projects to achieve needs that the
college did not initially think about.The
most recent is the farm gate to the wash,
with the goddess Pomona looking on. Her
cornucopia can open wider, if you will just
entertain a more inclusive planning process
that is not driven by the rigidity of administrative ego.
With appreciation for your role as a
trustee who can provide oversight, I remain,

Claremont COURIER/Friday, March 4, 2016

Preservation ordinance & design guidelinesideas whose time have come


by John Neiuber

n 2012, I wrote a column focused on


the distinctly different neighborhoods
that make up Claremont. I wrote then
that there would be challenges that lie ahead
for our neighborhoods, mainly because
Claremont is no longer a developing community but is now a maintenance community.
The challenges identified remain today: to preserve
and sustain those elements that define each neighborhood, while ensuring residents have the modern conveniences of life; to maintain the open feeling of many
of our homes that includes the historic setback lines; to
maintain the houses character and provide that additions and renovations respect not only the homes design, but also the neighborhood.
Chapter 2, of the citys general plan and heritage
preservation element discusses why we plan as a city:
Claremont residents and visitors to our community
drive into Claremont and immediately experience a
place like no other in Southern California. Making a
distinct impression are the tree-lined streets, the friendly
and inviting atmosphere of the Village, the stately buildings of the Claremont Colleges, the well-maintained
residential neighborhoods that display architectural
styles representative of almost every style of the 20th
century, and our beautiful parks and public spaces.
Claremont feels like a true community, a unique collection of people and places that has been carefully and
purposefully planned.
Carefully and purposefully planned are key words,
because, once built, it takes much work and care to ensure that the unique sense of community is not lost.
Thats where a preservation ordinance and design
guidelines come in.
Many cities protect historic properties with ordinances and with guidelines written into the building
code. Claremont has yet to take that step, except for de-

sign guidelines for the Village. Instead, city staff and


Claremont Heritage help property owners make
thoughtful and appropriate choices when renovating.
Having an ordinance and a set of guidelines that property owners and planners can refer to go a long way in
ensuring that homes and neighborhoods retain the
unique character and charm that attracted people to settle in Claremont in the first place.
Historic preservation ordinances offer the greatest
protection for historic resources. These laws protect individual sites and historic districts through a permitting
process that requires advance review of proposed projects by a preservation commission, or other administrative body. Today, more than 2,300 historic
preservation ordinances have been enacted across the
country.
Design guidelines are locally-developed criteria that
assist property owners, developers and architects in
making decisions about the appropriate treatment of
historic resources when planning repair, rehabilitation,
restoration, landscape or new construction projects.
Design guidelines are also used when evaluating the
potential effect of projects on historic resources. They
help to take the guesswork and subjectivity out of the
evaluation process, while allowing flexibility in design.
Preservation guidelines are typically based on the
Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Treatment of
Historic Properties. These Standards for Preservation
aim to direct that new use maximize the retention of
distinctive materials, features, spaces and spatial relationships, as well as retain the historic character of a
property to recognize it as a physical record of its time,
place and use.
The standards further dictate that any features of a
property that have historic significance be retained and
preserved through use of distinctive materials, features,
finishes and construction techniques.

Claremonts general plan discusses the importance


of neighborhoods in its acknowledgment that Claremont has many distinct neighborhoods that were developed during different periods of time, each
neighborhood having a character of its own in terms of
housing styles, development patterns, streetscape design and building scale and mass.
It is because of the unique place that Claremont has
become that accolades have been coming the last several years. In 2007, Claremont was named by Money
Magazine as the fifth best place to live in the US and the
highest rated place in California. The citys dedication
to preservation created the climate necessary in 2014,
for the city of Claremont to receive an A+ on the
Preservation Report Card from the Los Angeles Conservancy.
Just recently, Sunset Magazine named Claremont
Best Suburb in its Five Best Communities in the West.
In the article, they pointed out destinations in Claremont that the visitor might want to frequent: Sumner
House on College Avenue, Scripps Colleges Seal
Court, the Folk Music Center, the James Turrell Skyspace, the Claremont Packing House, the Rancho Santa
Ana Botanic Garden and The Back Abbey.
What is interesting to note is that five of the seven
destinations are structures that survived because of
preservation. Sumner House has been renovated and
preserved and creates a grand entryway for College Avenue and the other stately homes. The Scripps campus
is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Folk Music Center enjoys the protections of the
Village Design Guidelines. The Claremont Packing
House and the Ice House Office (Back Abbey) were
being considered for demolition, but were saved by
community preservationists efforts.
As a city ages, each time a historic structure is threatened should not create another call to action. There
should be protections written into the municipal code
that help to guide us instead of rallying the preservation troops. As noted in the general plan, Community
character is experienced through all of our senses. For
this reason, designing or planning to maintain community character must account for all of the communitys
desired physical aspects that create a sense of place.
It is time for preservation to be codifiedits time has
come.

OBITUARIES

Mechanical engineer, music man


Phillip Wayne Carty, a longtime
Claremont resident, died unexpectedly
on February 17, 2016 with his family
by his side. He was 77.
He was born in Des Moines, Iowa to
Merwin and Mary Carty on September
1, 1938. While Phil was still a child the
family moved to California, settling in
Whittier. Aside from a brief stay in Tennessee he lived the remainder of his life
in California, with the last 49 of those
years in Claremont.
A graduate of Whittier High School,
Mr. Carty attended both the University
of Redlands and California Polytechnic
State University San Luis Obispo, earning his degree in mechanical engineering. He served three years active duty

in the United States Navy and was stationed at General Dynamics. He continued at General Dynamics as a design
engineer for another five years, finishing the balance of his career as a mechanical engineer in the private sector.
In retirement, Mr. Carty helped his
wife Diane, who teaches dance classes
at various locations. He acted as music
man and was always happy to dance
with anyone in need of a partner.
Phil loved jazz music and spent
many years playing trumpet. He also

Jay Pilon

Coach, entrepreneur, family man


Walter E. Ambord, 85, died at his home in San
Clemente on February 19, 2016, surrounded by many
of his children and grandchildren and his wife Bridget.
Walt was born on September 25, 1930 in Doris,

College for 27 years prior.
Besides coaching football at Pomona, his tenure included coaching baseball, wrestling and golf in addition to numerous physical education activity courses.
Mr. Ambord also started and ran the very successful
Pomona College Swim School during summers, employing many of his students from Pomona College
as well as his own children and many other young
people from the community. He was active in whatever community he found himself in and was wellloved by many because of his huge heart and
boundless energy. He gave of himself generously, and
had an endless love for his children and grandchildren.
Mr. Ambords lifetime passions in addition to football, golf and kids included a love affair with cars that
got his driveway and surrounding streets dubbed

upon him for his handyman talents.


He is survived by his wife Diane of
almost 51 years, his daughter Christine
Travis and her husband Cody, his son
David and his wife Lisa and his grandchildren Christian and Kelly Baker and
Michael and Jacob Carty.
He also leaves his brother Robert and

Celebrating the life of Harrison McIntosh


More than 300 people gathered at Garrison Theater on Sunday to celebrate the
life and legacy of noted ceramist Harrison McIntosh. His daughter, Catherine
McIntosh, opened the ceremony by sharing the words of her father. He once said,
If I could say what I want in words, I wouldnt make pots.
Mr. McIntosh spent the better part of his life at a potters wheel. However, it was
his success in his personal relationships that was most touched on at the public
service, including his 50-year partnership with fellow ceramist Rupert Deese and,
of course, his more than 60 year marriage to Marguerite McIntosh.

Marguerite McIntosh relates a memory from early in her marriage to Harrison


McIntosh at a service for her husband at Garrison Theater on the Scripps
College campus. Mr. McIntosh was remembered a skilled artist and a humble
man during the 90 minute service.

plan process. They could move it along
forward all together and it would save a
couple months.
The zone is proposed to change from
Medium Density Residential to Institution Educational, which is a small step
toward the colleges overall plan to build
the museum, which will sit on College
Avenue between Bonita Avenue and
Second Street.
The museum, first announced last year,
is set to be a sprawling 32,000 square foot
facility that will also hold classrooms, offices, a courtyard and public space.
Renwick House, an historic Queen
Anne-style home which has stayed on the
lot since it was built in the early 1900s, is
set to be moved across the street on the
southeast corner of Second and College,
a move that has been met with scrutiny
from members of the public and Claremont Heritage.
The white cottages north of Renwick,
which are being used as student housing,
will be demolished if the museum plans
go forward.
The proposed museum location has
also caused friction within the community on what is seen as the encroachment
of Pomona College onto the Village-end
of College Avenue, long seen as the dividing line between town and gown.
During the March 1 meeting, resident
Mary Stoddard decried the museum
plans and claimed, the Village will be

Mr. Desatnik said at the meeting.
The public hearing will take place on

There will be time set aside for public

comment.
The Planning Commission also recommended a decision to amend the
Claremont Municipal Code (CMC) to
allow Online Educational Institutions
to apply for a conditional use permit
(CUP) and operate within four zones
Claremont Village, Commercial Highway, Business/Industrial Park and
Mixed-Use 3, which includes properties along Foothill Boulevard with
ground-floor retail. In addition, the commission also recommended an amendment to the Village Expansion Specific

13

Plan (VESP) to allow online educational


institutions to operate on the second and
third floors of commercial mixed-use
buildings in the village with a CUP.
The decision comes after Claremont
Lincoln University unveiled plans to purchase a property at 150 West First Street
to be used as a new, permanent headquarters for the college. Previously, CLU
has been leasing a space on 250 West
First Street for the past three years.
The ordinance stipulates that Online
Educational Institution shall not hold
regular classes nor should it have students
convening regularly on site. In terms of
parking, the ordinance says, it should be
treated in the same vein as a regular office.
CLU President Dr. Eileen Aranda was
on hand to support the recommendation,
telling the commission the intended use
of the building is well within the parameters of the ordinance.
For CLU, the purchase of this building allows us to have a permanent residence in Claremont, Ms. Aranda said.
We are committed to be in Claremont,
and the First Street property allows us the
opportunity to do that.
The recommendation for both resolutions passed unanimously. The next and
final step will be approval from the
Claremont city council.
The next Planning Commission meeting is March 15.

Stone sculptor celebrates past, creates future

laremont-based stone sculptor


Jim Coffman has a knack for
finding beauty in ruins.

Mr. Coffman, who runs Altered Stones on Mills


Avenue in Montclair, loves to create designs from
blocks of stone that resemble artifacts from a forgotten epoch.
I like making things that look like theyve been
around for a long time, Mr. Coffman said. I dont
know very many people who like to build ruins.
Mr. Coffmans background serves his interest well.
He attended Pitzer College, receiving a dual degree in
environmental science and anthropology, and became
an expert on Meso-American cultures. But his love of
crafting and creating goes back further to his childhood, when he began making artifacts out of copper
and coins with his father.
Ive been carving things since I was little. Ive
been carving for almost 40 years, Mr. Coffman said.
My dad had a propane torch and we used to press
silver dimes and hammer them out and polish them.
Just very basic stuff.
His love of carving stone has been seen in pieces
ALTEREDSTONES/next page

The completed stone sculptures at left, created by
longtime Claremont artist Jim Coffman, are available
at his shop, Altered Stones, in Montclair. Mr. Coffmanwhose work can be seen anywhere from the
Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden to private residential gardenscan create stone sculptures,
benches and archways to beautify drought-tolerant
gardens and complement outdoor art spaces.

Mr. Coffman uses hand tools to carve out a divot in a giant granite boulder. He does not have an exact plan for the piece but thought, if half-buried under an
oak tree, the divots would look like Native American carvings.

throughout Claremont, from the distinctive sinks at
Union on Yale to the fountainhead at Rancho Santa
Ana Botanic Garden.
Some of the sculptures scattered outside Mr. Coffmans lot are reminiscent of the civilizations that have
influenced him. Theres a massive Olmec head that
took 100 hours over the course of 17 days to
painstakingly sculpt, a graceful statue reminiscent of
Albert Stewarts Indian maiden sculpture at Padua
Hills Theatre and a stone arch inspired by a ruined
Scottish abbey that he visited on vacation a few years
back.
The arch was supposed to go in my backyard. Its
based on a trip to Scotland three years ago, Mr. Coffman said. We were looking at ruined abbeys, and I
realized that they built the arches and then carved
them. So thats a project I may or may not finish.
A lot of Mr. Coffmans work is made to look old
and worna little chip here and there, designs that
are washed out, stone busts that are purposefully left
unfinished. The perfect imperfection plays into his
fascination with worlds long gone.
I love ancient things, so thats part of the sculpting, Mr. Coffman said. Its going places and seeing
things and going like, God, I want that. So I made
it.
Mr. Coffmans passion has led him all over the
world, from working with meteorite rock in Australia
to encountering ancient megaliths in South America
and petroglyphs in North America that are over a millennium old.
One of the pieces he is most proud of is a stone
sculpture, named Silent Giant, that was placed in
the front yard of a property in Upland. It took Mr.
Coffman six hours to create and about 20 hours to install. The resulta nine-foot tall sculpture standing
sentinalis awe-inspiring.
Mr. Coffman said he was reticent when the
homeowner wanted to place it in front of his house,
but it ended up beautiful.
I saw the house and I thought, wow, that looks
great, Mr. Coffman said. I thought it was going to
overpower the house.
Amid all the stone sculptures that stand in Mr.
Coffmans lot, hes in the middle of recalibrating.
Tears of the Moon, a body jewelry manufacturer and
Mr. Coffmans main business for over two decades,
was shuttered in December 2015.
At peak employment we had 86 employees, Mr.
Coffman said. We probably made about 26 million
pieces of jewelry in 15 years.
At one point, Tears of the Moon supplied retailers
like Hot Topic with various kinds of body jewelry.
But increased competition from multi-national com-

Since its closure, Mr. Coffman has been looking for
other ways to supplement his income and exercise his
creativity.
Its a whole new ballgame, he said.
Now, his main focus is on stone, building nearly
anything in different sizes, from bike racks to birdbaths to little crosses made out of alabaster. Alabaster
is one of his favorite stones to work with, due to the
relative ease of creating things with it.
Alabaster is dissolvable in water, so its an indoor
stone, Mr. Coffman said. You can really make some
neat things with alabaster if you leave it out for five to
10 years.

yellow foliage looks great against purple, and not just

Its a poppy-like flower, kind of radiant and heartshaped, he said, adding that its lime-green foliage
contrasts well with verbenas darker leaves.
Desert marigold, which is among the top three bestselling plants at the Grow Native Nursery, is another
likely partner for Verbena lilacina De La Mina. So
are perennial wildflowers like the California poppy
and California sunflower, which boast orange and
yellow blooms, respectively, as well as gray-green foliage that pairs well with verbenas stalks and stems.

CHS spring sports teams show promise for upcoming season


SWIMMING
CHS swimming gets the action
started with the Palomares League Relays on Saturday and follows up with
the first preseason meet on Tuesday
against Walnut High in Walnut.
Im very excited about this season.
Weve got a lot of depth and starting
practice looking pretty good, said
Coach Courtney Eads, who led the
Pack last year.
Junior Ben Eagleton will be back,
presumably dominating in the 50-meter
freestyle. Also returning are breaststroke starters Katrina Strash and
freestyler Samantha Duran. Some new
faces to look for are Sophie Jackson
and Mary Margrave, as well as Toby
Jackson for the boys.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL
Boys volleyball had its worst season
in a long time last year, which was difficult for a team that has won the league
title many times including in 2013.
Many top players graduated in 2014
and Coach Bernie Wendling had to start
from scratch, with several boys who
had never played volleyball.
The Pack has already played in a
tournament in south Orange County
that included Huntington Beach, the
number-one team in America.
We beat a good south county team,
Aliso Niguel, so that is a positive sign
for us, said Coach Wendling. We are

still inexperienced, but we have a good


work ethic. You can see the guys are
training hard. We missed the playoffs for
the first time in 21 years last year, so that
was hard, said Coach Wendling.
The Pack will play in two tournaments over the next week and Coach
Wendling said he should know where
his team stands by the time league starts
against Glendale on March 15. We got
some guys who can hit the ball hard, so
we are excited about this year, he said.
Leading the team this year are captains Keoni Duke and Matthew Mitchell.

BOYS TENNIS
Claremont High School boys tennis
starts this season with a lot of new players and a new coach, Kathy Settles.
However, Coach Settles is not new to
CHS, being both a parent and the coach
of the girls team.
The Pack finished the Palomares
League ranked number two last year led
by Andrew Leahy and Layton Bohren.
Now in his senior year, Leahywill be
the teams number one seed this year fol-

lowed by sophomore Bohren. In addition, they have added some strong freshman and will have a very good junior
varsity squad as well.
We are going to be good this year,
said Coach Settles. We brought in four
freshman, who are playing year round
so they have added a ton of depth. I inherited a very talented team and then
we brought in a lot of good talent. We
are going to be really good at singles.
Claremont just won the Etiwanda
tournament over the weekend defeating
both Glendora and Bonita in the
process, which bodes well for the upcoming season as both teams are in the
Palomares League. The boys have a
preseason match on March 9 at Walnut.
An interesting side note, the Pack has
two sets of twins: returning players
Harrison and Hunter Bojalad plus
freshmen Andrew and Jason Weisman.

THAT PURPOSE. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this
property lien, you should understand that there are
risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid on a trustee auction does not
automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that
the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If
you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or
may be responsible for paying off all liens senior
to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged
to investigate the existence, priority, and size of the
outstanding lien that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you
a fee for this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware that the same
lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of
trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY
OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant
to Section 2924g of California Civil Code. The law
requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If
you wish to learn whether your sale date has been
postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time

about postponements that are very short in duration

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF CAROL LEE AHLANDER


Case No. BP170744
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested
in the will or estate, or both, of CAROL LEE
AHLANDER
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by
MARK AHLANDER in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that
MARK AHLANDER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and
codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and
any codicils are available for examination in the file
kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the
estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative will be
required to give notice to inter-ested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to the proposed
action.) The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held on March
9, 2016 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 5 located at 111 N.
Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state your objections
or file written objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by
your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the
court and mail a copy to the personal representative
appointed by the court within the later of either (1)
four months from the date of first issuance of letters
to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60
days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to
you of a notice under section 9052 of the California
Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowl-edgeable in California
law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If
you are a person interested in the estate, you may file
with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as pro-vided
in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special
Notice form is available from the court clerk.

BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be
bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction
does not automatically entitle you to free

should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off all
liens senior to the lien being auctioned off,
before you can receive clear title to the
property. You are encouraged to investigate
the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorders
office or a title insurance company, either
of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same
lender may hold more than one mortgage
or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE
TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date
shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee,
beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to
Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC
HEARING ON 2016
FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
FOR THE POMONA
COLLEGE 2015 CAMPUS MASTER
PLAN PROJECT, REVISED
POMONA COLLEGE 2015 CAMPUS
MASTER PLAN, AND PROPOSED
ZONE CHANGE
The Claremont Planning Commission will
hold a public hearing on March 15, 2016,
to consider the following:
2016 Final Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) for the Pomona College 2015 Campus Master Plan project;
Statement of Overriding Considerations
and Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program;
Revised Pomona College 2015 Campus
Master Plan dated October, 2015; and
Zone Change for the property located at
211 and 239 North College Avenue.
Project Location: The project area is the
campus of Pomona College in the City of
Claremont. The campus of Pomona College is approximately 140 acres, and is
roughly bounded by First Street on the
south, Eighth Street on the north, Harvard
Avenue on the west, and Mills and
Amherst Avenues on the east.
Project Description: The proposed project consists of a long range Master Plan
for planned future improvements to the
Pomona College campus over a period of
15 years from the date of City approval of

the Master Plan, plus associated actions.


The broad parameters of the Master Plan
may be summarized as follows:
Enrollment increase of 50 students (from
1,590 to 1,640 students), a net increase of
26 student beds on campus (from 1,534 to
1,560 beds), an increase of 30 faculty
(from 192 to 222 faculty), and an increase
of 30 staff (from 495 to 525 staff).
Removal of up to 126,700 gross square
feet of existing facilities and construction
of up to 332,100 gross square feet of new
facilities, for a net increase of 205,400
gross square feet of structural development.
Relocation of Renwick House from the
northwest corner of Second Street and
College Avenue (211 North College Avenue) to the southeast corner of this same
intersection.
A net increase of 18, on-campus parking
spaces.
Campus lot coverage increase from approximately 16% to approximately 18%.
Pedestrian and bicycle improvements to
improve safety and clarify pedestrian and
vehicular circulation patterns.
New and remodeled open spaces such as
courtyards,
plazas,
walkways,
streetscapes, and landscaping.
The project also includes related actions
that provide for implementation of the
Master Plan. A proposed Zone Change
will change the zoning from Medium Density Residential (RM2000) to Institution
Educational (IE) for four parcels (APN #s
8313-018-004, 8313-018-005, 8313-018006, and 8313-018-007) totaling approximately 54,000 square feet (1.24 acres)
located on the west side of College Avenue between Second Street and Bonita
Avenue. The property is the proposed location for the new Pomona College Museum of Art. The Zone Change will make
the zoning of the property consistent with
the propertys Institutional General Plan
land use designation, which the City
Council previously approved as part of the
Citys 2006 Comprehensive General Plan
Update.
The proposed project would require the
following entitlements:
Approval of the Master Plan
Approval of the Zone Change
Lot merger of the four parcels discussed
above, and other lot mergers or lot line adjustments for other individual projects as
required for implementation of the Master
Plan.
Design review approval of all new construction, building relocations, and other
site changes.
Approval of a permit for removal of any
street tree pursuant to the City Tree Policy
Manual.
Approval of a Special Use and Development Permit for any temporary construction trailers or other temporary
construction-related uses, as applicable.
Ministerial and ancillary permits required to carry out individual projects
under the Master Plan, such as demolition
permits, building permits, relocation permit, and occupancy permits.
Public Hearing: The Planning Commission will hold the public hearing on March
15, 2016, beginning at 7 p.m., in the City
Council Chamber, 225 W. Second Street,
Claremont. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission is
expected to make recommendations to the
City Council on the 2016 Final EIR; Statement of Overriding Considerations; the
Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting
Program; revised Master Plan dated October, 2015, and proposed Zone Change.
The City Council will make the final decisions. Further notice will be provided
when the items are scheduled for consideration by the City Council.
Environmental Review: The City of
Claremont has prepared the Final EIR for
the Master Plan project in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) (Public Res. Code #21000
et. seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines
(14CCR #15000 et. seq.), and Claremonts Local CEQA Guidelines. The Final
EIR evaluates the proposed projects potential to significantly impact the environment and identifies ways to reduce or
avoid environmental impacts through mitigation measures and alternatives to the
project. With implementation of the mitigation measures, it was determined that all
identified impacts of the project could be
mitigated to below a level of significance,
except for an unavoidable significant cultural resource impact from the demolition
of the Thatcher Music Building, and unavoidable significant noise impacts during
construction near residential property.
Staff is recommending the adoption of a
Statement of Overriding Considerations
for the project, as the benefits of the proj-

Claremont COURIER Classifieds/Friday, March 4, 2016


ect outweigh the potential unavoidable adverse impacts of the project. Mitigation
measures are included in a proposed Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program.
Public Review and Comment: The Final
EIR and Master Plan documents may be
accessed through the Citys website at
www.ci.claremont.ca.us. The documents
in paper form may be reviewed during
regular business hours beginning on Monday, March 7, 2016, at the following locations:

OF TRUST The street address and other
common designation, if any, of the real
property described above is purported to

Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other
common designation, if any, shown
herein. Said sale will be held, but without
covenant or warranty, express or implied,
regarding title, possession, condition, or
encumbrances, including fees, charges and
expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts
created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the
remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total
amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold
and reasonable estimated costs, expenses
and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is:

bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall


be the return of monies paid to the Trustee,
and the successful bidder shall have no
further recourse. The beneficiary under
said Deed of Trust heretofore executed
and delivered to the undersigned a written
Declaration of Default and Demand for
Sale, and a written Notice of Default and
Election to Sell. The undersigned caused
said Notice of Default and Election to Sell
to be recorded in the county where the real
property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be aware that
the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the
auction, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien being
auctioned off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are encouraged
to investigate the existence, priority, and
size of outstanding liens that may exist on
this property by contacting the county
recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee
for this information. If you consult either
of these resources, you should be aware
that the same lender may hold more than
one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER:
The sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled
time and date for the sale of this property,
you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this
Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned
to this case 015615-CA. Information about
postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the
scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on
the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869
