State of California - The Resources Agency Primary# <br />DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI # <br /> Trinomial <br />CONTINUATION SHEET <br />Property Name: 4400 Black Ave Page 3 of 21 <br />DPR 523K (9/2013) <br />*P3a. Description (Continued): <br /> Front (north) facade <br /> <br />Setting <br />The area in front of the building (to the north) is paved in asphalt and is <br />devoted to automobile parking, with painted stripes delineating parking spaces <br />and numerous small islands with small trees affording some visual relief. The <br />area behind the building (to the south) is also paved for parking and vehicle <br />maneuvering, mainly for telephone company vans. A small portion of this lot is <br />devoted to storage of discarded electronic equipment, bound cardboard, and other <br />waste sorting. In recent years a steel shelter with open sides has been erected <br />here to protect some of these materials from the elements. It measures about 15 <br />feet by 36 feet. A paved driveway along the east side of the property connects <br />the front and rear parking areas. A strip of ground several feet wide runs along <br />the west side of the property adjacent to the building. <br />Landscaping can be found in three places. Two of them are narrow strips of ground <br />directly in front of the forward-most part of the building and along its east <br />side; these are planted with low shrubs. The third is a broad lawn that fills <br />the angle formed by a recess in the building’s northwest corner. One tree can be <br />found within this lawn; and another tree, shrubs, ground ivy, and a concrete <br />pathway can be found at its edges.
