12. COMMENDATION AND TUSTIN HISTORIC REGISTER PROGRAM/PLAQUES
FOR NON-HISTORIC PROPERTIES — 195 EL CAMINO REAL
Planning Commission Chair Steve Kozak and Director of Community Development
Elizabeth A. Binsack provided a PowerPoint presentation.
The City Commendation Program recognizes an Old Town property of outstanding
merit as often as every calendar quarter. The Community Development Department
(CDD) nominated the property at 195 El Camino Real for a commendation and the
Planning Commission as Historic and Cultural Resources Advisor, approved the
commendation on March 12, 2019. This is the first non-historic building that has
received a commendation in Old Town Tustin. Pursuant to the Commendation
Program, following the Planning Commission's approval, the City Council would
recognize the property owner and present the commendation at the next available
City Council meeting.
When the Planning Commission approves a commendation, the CDD acknowledges
the commended property with a decorative "Outstanding Property" sign that can be
displayed on the property for the quarter in which the commendation is awarded and
a bronze plaque that can be permanently affixed to the building. For a historic
property, the plaque bears the construction date of the building, up to two (2) lines of
text, and the words "Tustin Historic Register". The question arose before the
City Council April 2, 2019
Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 14
Planning Commission as to whether a historic plaque is appropriate for a non-historic
building in light of the historic nature of previously awarded plaques. As a result, staff
is recommending a plaque design for non-historic structures that distinguishes the
property from those on the Historic Register.
It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Bernstein and seconded by Council Member Clark
to commend the building at 195 El Camino Real (Del Rio Building) and its owners as
a property of outstanding merit in Old Town Tustin and direct staff to initiate a plaque
design for non-historic structures that distinguishes the property from those with the
Historic Register Plaques.
Motion carried: 5-0

ADJOURNED IN MEMORY OF
Tomoko "Tomo" Mizusawa
February 12, 1921 — March 7, 2019
The Tustin community was blessed with Tomo's presence and grace when she was hired
as a part time Recreation Leader in 2002. At a young age of 81 years old, Tomo inspired
her colleagues, volunteers and participants with her wealth of knowledge, experience and
dedication.
Tomo was a true Tustinite, graduating from Tustin High School in 1939. She was active
with several sports including basketball, volleyball, hockey and softball. After school,
Tomo continued to live in Tustin on her family's farm. During World War II, Tomo
experienced first-hand a regretful moment in our nation's history when she was relocated
from her family farm in Tustin and incarcerated in a Japanese-American internment camp
in the Arizona desert. She remained there for a year and a half. During that time, she
married her husband Fred and was released shortly thereafter.
Over seven years of hard work and resilience, they were able to rebuild their lives and
began farming on land they purchased in Garden Grove. They were blessed with three
City Council April 2, 2019
Meeting Minutes Page 13 of 14
sons. However, in 1961, her husband passed away and Tomo was solely responsible for _
the farm and raising their children. Eventually, she moved her family back to Tustin in
1978.
Tomo remained very active throughout her life and continued to walk two miles a day until
her late 80's.
Tomo will live forever in the hearts of those who encountered her. In her honor, may we
all strive to emulate the poise she possessed, the drive that kept her motivated and the
warmth that was sensed by all those she touched throughout her life.
