oregonensis. Brick paths are carefully laid out around the perimeter and create <br />an axis from the living room of the house to the western edge of the property. <br />There is a concrete lily pond in the southwest comer of the yard. Gladys Chase <br />played a major role in the development of Chase Flowers and Gifts, a longtime <br />retail outlet which still operates in Eugene. The garden typifies the changing <br />tastes in landscape design of the 1930s and illustrates the strong association <br />between the Chase family and their land..." <br />The nomination includes sketches of the contributing buildings of the ensemble and landscaping <br />associated with each property (see pages following page 26 of the nomination). The reference made by <br />Baker is related to the Gladys Chase house which is not included in the request for demolition and sits <br />to the south of the Harry and Etta Chase house, for which demolition is proposed. <br />Baker also included videos of the Chase Garden's ensemble where Whitey Lueck provides discussion of <br />the trees and landscaping associated with the Chase Gardens ensemble. As the video relates to the Harry <br />and Etta Chase House, Lueck references trees associated with the house stating that they are significant. <br />Testimony from Henry C. Kunowski (Kunowski) received March 31, 2022 takes issue with the approach <br />of the Heritage report. Kunowski argues that for the applicant to take issue with Criterion B and C for <br />the nomination, the necessary path would be to go through a process with the State Historic <br />Preservation Office to provide clarity about the integrity of the grouping. <br />In the rebuttal received on April 6, 2022 the applicant discusses the landscape. The applicant begins by <br />referencing the Heritage report which pointed out discrepancies in the nomination related to the <br />number and designation of contributing sites and landscapes in the ensemble. The applicant asserts that <br />the clearly designated features were the following: Frank Chase House, Frank Chase Garden, Gladys <br />Chase House, Gladys Chase Garden, Harry and Etta Chase House, and Jack & Ida Chase House. This leaves <br />a third contributing site that the applicant acknowledges could have been associated with the Harry and <br />Etta Chase House, as some discussion of the landscape related to the house is provided in the <br />nomination. However, the applicant also points out that where the nomination provides the "statement <br />of significance" the discussion is as follows: <br />The landscape at the Harry Chase house is distinctly domestic in design, replete with <br />fruit and nut trees, and an old metal pipe merry-go-round from Pruneville School in <br />the side yard" (Section 8, page 21). <br />The applicant explains that as discussed in the Heritage report, the nomination makes no specific <br />assertions that the landscape associated with the Harry and Etta Chase House is significant nor does it <br />explain how the landscape is significant. Rather, only a description of the landscape that notes some <br />elements is provided. <br />The applicant provided <br />historic photographs in Exhibit H, and aerial images in Exhibit I of their <br />application. The Heritage report provides a discussion on pages 5 and 6 which compared the historic <br />photos, aerials, and the National Register site to reveal noteworthy changes in landscape integrity since <br />the historic period. The applicant summarizes this discussion into the following elements: <br />Final Order: The Harry and Etta Chase House I HDM 21-1/ HA 21-3/ ARB 21-2
