RE: Blaney Plaza, Saratoga, California
Dear Mr. Cherbone:
Pursuant, to your request for a proposal for the median known as Blaney Plaza in Saratoga,
California. I still believe it to be a wonderful opportunity and challenge to design something
that establishes as identity and theme for what in my opinion is the gateway into the
downtown area of Saratoga.
We at Greg G. Ing & Associate (GIA) consider it to be a great service to continue our
association with you and the city. Enclosed is our proposal based upon our phone discussion
last week. Per our discussion we will prepare a design with the consideration of moving the
veterans memorial,to Blaney Plaza, which is currently located across the street. This
proposal will also address the design fees at this time once a design and budget is approved
we will submit a proposal to prepare construction documents to put the project out to bid.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal. Should you have any questions
regarding the content of this proposal please do not hesitate to give me a call. We are
looking to begin immediately upon your approval to do so.
Respectfully Submitted,

INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this work effort is to develop a new design concept for the median known as
Blaney Plaza in the City of Saratoga. This median is located on Highway 9 and Saratoga Avenue
and is the gateway to the downtown area. Also, do to renovation and remodel plans for the fire
station across the street the City plans to relocate the Veterans Memorial Monument to Blaney
Plaza and needs to prepare a plan to incorporate this into the plaza.
Professional services encompass analysis of the site, photograph existing conditions, develop two
design concepts for the staff and city council to review. Then upon input and direction prepare a
final master plan to present to City Council for approval.
The existing site is less than ' /2 acre and has two large Italian Stone Pines and a multi -level plaza
with benches and a low slump stonewall. Everything is subject to removal except the two pine
trees. Currently, the plaza is used for two events annually, but primarily it is a visual entranceway
into the City of Saratoga's downtown area.
This work effort will focus on developing a design concept that symbolizes the essence of the City
of Saratoga and relocation of the monument.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECORDING
HISTORICAL RESOURCES
Office of Historic Preservation
P.O. Box 942896
Sacramento, CA 942196 -0001
March 1995
March 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
INTRODUCTION
Access to information about historical resources is a prerequisite for preservation efforts. Informed
planning hinges on the use of that data and information -about historical resources also plays an important
role in research and education. In the absence of such information, historical resources may be harmed by
development or even natural deterioration without consideration of the public loss. For that reason,
managing information about historical resources is a fundamental role of the California Office of Historic
Preservation (OHP).
The new recordation procedures described in this manual comprise a single system for documenting the
full range of values present in a given location. As such, they are similar to the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP) nomination form. Like the NRHP form, California's new historical resource recording system
provides for the collection of certain fundamental information about every resource on a simple one page
form called a Primary Record. The Primary Record is designed to be used by anyone wishing to record a
resource. A variety of more specific forms can then be used to supplement that information with further
descriptive data and a statement of significance where appropriate.
This manual establishes guidelines regarding the kinds of resources that merit recordation and the
different levels of information it may be appropriate to gather about them to meet a variety of user needs.
The scope and organization of the information managed by the OHP is first explained in this introductory
section. Detailed instructions are then provided for recording all kinds of historical resources. Other OHP
publications are being developed to explain changes in how that information will be managed.
The Scope of OHP's Filing System
For the longest time historical resources have been conceived of as buildings, structures, objects, and
archaeological sites. That perspective has changed recently as more is learned about peoples of differing
ethnic and economic backgrounds and their relationship to historical resources. A broader spectrum of
resource types are now recognized, and awareness also has increased regarding the diverse values associated
with historical resources. Both factors have contributed to the development of a more comprehensive and
holistic view of the historic environment embodied in the use of concepts such as "cultural landscape."
The California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) is committed to developing an increasingly
comprehensive and integrated system for managing information about all types of-historical resources in
order to accommodate this holistic view of the historical landscape. The scope of the information the OHP
manages will continue to broaden to meet the diverse legal, educational, research, and other needs of its
many users. Integration of the files will contribute to the efficiency of that filing system, facilitating access to
information and enhancing awareness of all aspects of California's diverse cultural landscape.
The information currently managed by the OHP and its regional Information Centers includes a variety
of specific information about historical resources, as well as reports describing how those resources were
identified, evaluated, and treated. The files for specific resources have been divided historically between the
Historic Resource Inventory (HRI) and the Archaeological Inventory (Al). That separation has created a
number of management problems, as discussed by the National Park Service (1990c) and the OHP (1991a).
One solution to those problems is to integrate the HRI and.AI files - -a process now underway. The
recordation procedures described in this manual are designed to facilitate that integration.
The OHP's filing system also manages reports documenting survey, treatment, and registration activities.
Survey reports provide crucial information about the adequacy of efforts to identify historical resources and
thus constitute another important source of information managed by the OHP. While this manual does not
provide detailed instructions for conducting surveys, the forms explained here do provide mechanisms for
cross - referencing reports, registration programs, and decisions about the significance and treatment of each
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources March 1995
resource.
Information about how to conduct and report survey activities can be found in National Register Bulletin
24 (National Park Service 1985), the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and
Historic Preservation (National Park Service 1983),—and California Historic Resources Survey Workbook
(Office of Historic Preservation 1986). Appendix 6 summarizes the fundamental topics that the Secretary of
the Interior recommends covering in reports describing reconnaissance and intensive surveys, while more
detailed suggestions are offered in Archaeological Resource Management Reports ARMR : Recommended
Contents and Format (Office of Historic Preservation 1989a).
What Kinds of Resources Merit Recordation?
A broad threshold is set here for the kinds of resources that may be recorded for inclusion in the OHP's
filing system. That threshold is designed to encompass resources that have been formally evaluated, as well
as those whose importance has not yet been determined. Any physical evidence of human activities over 45
years old may be recorded for purposes of inclusion in the OHP's filing system. Documentation of
resources less than 45 years old also may be filed if those resources have been formally evaluated, regardless
of the outcome of the evaluation.
The 45 year criteria recognizes that there is commonly a five year lag between resource identification and
the date that planning decisions are made. It explicitly encourages the collection of data about resources that
may become eligible for the NRHP or California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) within that planning
period. More restrictive criteria must be met before the resources included in OHP's filing system are listed,
found eligible for listing, or otherwise determined to be important in connection with federal, state, and local
legal statutes and registration programs.
The OHP recognizes that there are a wide range of reasons for recording historical resources. It is
understandable that within the constraints of a survey's objectives it is not always reasonable or appropriate
to record all historical resources as defined here. Professional judgement in the field is essential when
determining whether or not a resource warrants recordation. The scope of surveys may be defined by
specific legal criteria. In such cases, survey methods may be clarified through consultation and agreement
with the State Historic Preservation Officer.
Professional surveys that do not evaluate resources against specific legal criteria should record all
resources that meet the broad threshold set here when those studies are conducted in connection with
planned developments. Detailed recordation of all but the most limited resource types is generally required
for such project- driven, non- evaluative professional surveys.
Surveys conducted for reasons other than development activities may focus on a narrower range of
resources based on the user's need for information. For example, a thematic survey may focus exclusively on
the identification of a certain type of resource or a reconnaissance survey may be conducted to develop a
management plan for a large tract of land. The submission of records not produced as the result of surveys
are also encouraged.
Classifying Historical Resources
After discovering a historical resource it is useful to classify it. The OHP has adopted the NRHP
resource categories as a basis for initial classification of California's historical resources. More detailed
classification is then based on the presence of any of the attributes listed in Appendix 4. The NRHP
categories are defined by the National Park Service (1990b:4 -5) as follows, and examples of each category are
provided in Appendix 5:
March 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
Building: A building, such as a house, barn, church, hotel, or similar construction, is created
principally to shelter any form of human activity. "Building" may also be used to refer to a
historically and functionally related unit, such as a courthouse and jail or a house and barn.
Structure: The term "structure" is used to distinguish from buildings those functional
constructions made usually for purposes other than creating human shelter.
Object: The term "object" is used to distinguish from buildings and structures those
constructions that are primarily artistic in nature or are relatively small in scale and simply
constructed. Although it may be, by nature or design, movable, an object is associated with a
specific setting or environment.
Site: A site is the location of a significant event, a prehistoric or historic occupation or activity,
or a building or structure, whether standing, ruined, or vanished, where the location itself
possesses historic, cultural, or archaeological value regardless of the value of any existing
structure.
District: A district possesses a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites,
buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical
development.
The OHP encourages a comprehensive approach to identifying historical resources. In that approach all
historically associated and /or physically superimposed resources are documented together as elements of
California's cultural landscape. Even if you lack the expertise needed to record all aspects of a resource in
detail, you are urged to provide a brief summary of the full range of values that may be present whenever
feasible in Fields P3b and 1311. This will ensure that each element receives more routine consideration in the
planning process.
When conducting a comprehensive survey you should generally record large and complex cultural
landscapes as districts. Small, simple groupings of resources such as a historic building constructed on top
of an archaeological site or a house with an associated garage or barn are most appropriately documented
together as an individual historical resource using a single Primary Record to index all of the values present
and detailed recording forms, as appropriate, to present more detailed information about each component.
It should be emphasized that some resources lacking individual distinction nevertheless may contribute
to the understanding and appreciation of California's history and prehistory. Such resources may include,
but are not necessarily limited to isolated archaeological artifacts and remnants of cultural landscapes. If a
resource cannot be readily classified as one of the five National Register types defined above, the
checkbox for "other" in Field P4 may be marked to designate the presence of an isolate or very minor
resource. The "other" checkbox should not be used for features that clearly fall into one of the National
Register types. You are encouraged to document isolated and minor resources however it is most sensible to
do so, either as individually recorded entities documented to the minimum standards discussed below, or as
features of larger historical resources.
The term "feature" is used in this manual to refer to minor components of historical resources. Features
generally consist of small constructed works, discrete activity areas, landscaping, earthworks, non - portable
natural objects modified by human use, and other similar cultural entities. They include, but are not limited
to values such as: a garage or landscaping associated with a house; a gate valve associated with a ditch; an
adit, tailings, or ruined mill that are part of a mining complex; or a trash pit, orchard, discrete activity area,
bedrock milling station, rock art panel, or carved tree associated with a site.
Traditional cultural properties (TCPs) are an important aspect of California's cultural heritage that are
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources March 1995
receiving long - overdue attention. The California Native American Heritage Commission has maintained an
inventory of sacred sites for many years. In 1988 the OHP published Five Views: An Ethnic Sites Survey for
California (1988) to promote awareness about resources important to several ethnic groups including Native
Americans. The OHP specifically encourages the documentation of TCPs on a Primary Record as a basis for
including information about them in the file system. More detailed information about TCPs may be
documented depending on the need for information about that resource. Consult National Re ister Bulletin
38 (National Park Service 1990a) for information about how to conduct a survey of TCPs.
How Much Documentation Is Enough
The recording forms in this manual are designed to meet a wide range of needs for information about
historical resources. They allow reasonable discretion regarding the level of information that is collected
based on each user's needs and the relative value of the resources that are being documented. That flexibility
is intended to encourage the recordation of historical resources not consistently incorporated into the OHP's
files up to this time. Examples of all the forms discussed in this manual are provided in Appendix 1.
The minimum documentation needed before the record for a qualifying resource will be included in
OHP's filing system generally consists of a completed one page Primary Record and a Location Map.
However, the Location Map is optional for resources on small parcels of land in urbanized areas when a
street address is provided. More detailed descriptive information and evaluations can be documented on the
Building, Structure, and Object (BSO) Record; Archaeological Site Record; and District Record to meet needs
not satisfied by the minimum threshold. A Sketch Map should also be prepared to accompany most detailed
records.
The minimum level of documentation is designed to provide an initial record for all types of resources.
It may even provide relatively complete descriptive data for simple resource types such as isolated
archaeological finds and minor historic landscape features. However, it is important to emphasize that the
Primary Record (and a Location Map when required) is strictly non - evaluative and constitutes the
minimum documentation needed to include a record in OHP's filing system. Professional surveys
conducted in connection with planned development projects should generally record all but the very
simplest resources with a Primary Record, Location Map, and an appropriate detailed recording form or
forms (e.g., BSO Record, Archaeological Site Record, and District Record).
Several optional records have also been designed for use in conjunction with any of the aforementioned
records. They include a Linear Feature Record, Milling Station Record, Rock Art Record, Artifact Record,
Photograph Record, and Continuation Sheet. Use of the optional forms is entirely discretionary and may be
combined with either minimal or detailed recordation as appropriate.
In keeping with the flexible nature of this recordation approach, surveyors recording at the minimum
level of documentation (e.g., the Primary Record) may opt to provide additional information, as desired, on a
Continuation Sheet. Data fields /entries from any of the detailed and optional recording forms in this manual
may be selected and used to organize the information presented on a Continuation Sheet. Every data field
has been assigned a unique designation composed of a letter (signifying the record it came from) and number
to facilitate such customized presentations.
Format Requirements and Submission of Records
All records submitted for inclusion in the Inventory must be typewritten or computer - generated. Fields
marked with a sidebar, asterisk, and boldface type in this manual must be completed. Please make every
effort to produce clear and easily readable maps, photographs, and drawings when they are required.
The use of computers is encouraged in the production all of the records described in this manual. Every
4
March 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
required data field must be included on computer - generated forms, with header blocks presented as they
appear on the sample forms. For records documenting buildings, structures, and objects it is preferable to
format computer - generated records the same as those reproduced in Appendix 1, with continued text placed
on a Continuation Sheet. It is particularly helpful to keep the photograph (required for buildings, structures,
and objects in Field P5 on the Primary Record) on the first page of a record. When a photograph is not
required, this space may be utilized for continuous text entry.
For records documenting sites the text of computer - generated data fields should usually be entered as a
continuous block, with paragraphs used to break the text up as appropriate. Lengthy entries should
generally be introduced with a paragraph that summarizes the data in that field. District Records may be
produced with either continuous text or the use of a Continuation Sheet.
The OHP encourages you to submit all types of data about historical resources for inclusion in its filing
system, from minimal records to detailed documentation, reports, registration data, and other pertinent
information. Each type of information will further preservation efforts and contribute to greater awareness
of the value of our rich and varied history and prehistory. Recorders are urged to submit two copies of each
record to the appropriate regional Information Center listed in Appendix 8 soon after completion of a survey.
Upon acceptance, the Information Center will assign a Primary Number and forward one copy of the record
to the OHP for inclusion in its Central Records. A survey report is normally expected to accompany or
follow any submission of detailed recording forms resulting from a professional survey.
For built resource surveys conducted in connection with federal undertakings it is acceptable to submit
one copy of the survey report to the appropriate Information Center after completion of the study and a
second copy can then be submitted directly to the OHP. In such cases, the second copy should identify each
resource by the Primary Number assigned by the Information Center. For surveys funded through the OHP,
records and survey reports should be submitted in accordance with the contract.
THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF DOCUMENTATION
The Primary Record and a Location Map provide the minimum level of information needed to include a
record in the OHP's filing system. The Location Map is optional for buildings located on small parcels of
land in urban areas when an address is provided. This minimum level of documentation is designed to
provide an initial record of all types of historical resources including buildings, structures, objects, sites, and
districts, as well as cultural landscapes (sites) and traditional cultural properties (many of which are
classified as sites).
How to Prepare a Primary Record
The following are step -by -step instructions for completing the Primary Record. Please note that
required information is indicated with a sidebar, asterisk, and bold type in the instructions that follow.
Header Block: Information provided in the header block will be used to track resource records and the
decisions made about a documented resource. Enter the appropriate information in the spaces provided for -
Primary Number, Trinomial /HRI Number, Other Listings, and NRHP Status Code when known. The space
provided for Review Code, Date, and Reviewer will be completed by the OHP or Information Center staff
and should always be left blank.
Primary. Number: Enter a number only if it has already been assigned by OHP or an Information Center.
Trinomial /HRI Number: Enter a number only if one has already been assigned by OHP or an
Information Center.
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources March 1995
NRHP Status Code: If only a Primary Record is filled out, enter a 7 in this field or leave it blank.
You may enter a National Register Status Code other than 7 if an evaluation supported by a BSO Record,
District Record, or other detailed documentation is attached.
Other Listines: Enter any national, state, and local designation programs in which the resource is listed.
Provide a reference number if applicable. Enter only those designations already approved at the time of
recordation. Use the following abbreviations: HABS (Historic American Building Survey), HAER
(Historic American Engineering Record), NHL (National Historic Landmark), SHL (State Historical
Landmark), CPHI (California Point of Historical Interest), CRHR (California Register of Historical
Resources); or provide the name of the local register where applicable.
*Resource Name or #: Use this field to provide an identifier that can be used to link all the pages of the
record. The identifier can_be_a historic or common name, parcel number, or any other designator which will
consistently refer to the resource.
P1. Other Identifier: This space may be used to provide an identifier that relates to a project name, agency
designation, or other unique identifier.
*P2. Location: First, indicate whether or not the location of the resource should be kept confidential. Then
provide the name of the county (or counties) (Field P2a); USGS 7.5' quadrangle, township, Range, and
portion of a Section (Field P2b); and an Address (Field Plc) and /or UTM coordinate(s) (Field P2d). Other
locational information may be provided in Field Pte as needed.
A Location Map must be attached to the Primary Record for sites, as well as other resources that do not have
a street address. Locations Maps are also recommended for resources on large parcels where an address
may not satisfactorily pinpoint the location of the resource within the parcel.
*P2a. County: Give the name of the county or counties in which the resource is located. If it is located
in more than one county, put the county containing the majority of the resource first. Include the
appropriate county and state for resources that extend outside of California.
*P2b. USGS 7.5'Ouadrangle, Township, Range, and Section: Provide the name of the USGS 75
quadrangle(s) that cover the area in which the resource is located and describe its legal location to the
nearest quarter quarter section where possible. For large or linear resources spanning an extensive
geographic area it may be helpful to provide several legal descriptions. Indicate the township, range and
base meridian for each legal description.
P2c. Address: Enter the complete address for the parcel on which the resource is located if one exists.
Include the street or highway number and name, town or city, and zip code. For numbered highways,
use "State Route" or "County Road" followed by a number.
P2d. UTM: UTM coordinates are required for sites, and should also be used for other resources that
either do not have a street address or cannot be accurately located by the address due to the size of the
parcel. For example, linear structures rarely have addresses and many rural buildings are located on
large parcels. In such cases, UTMs should be provided to more accurately pinpoint the location of the
resource.
Begin by entering the name of the U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle(s). Note the date the map was
published or photorevised. For resources less than 10 acres, enter the UTM reference for the point
corresponding to the center of the resource. Four UTM references are required when identifying the
corners of larger resources. UTM references should be provided for both ends of linear structures and
sites (or for the recorded segment of that resource). When more than one UTM reference is given, each
March 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
reference point should be depicted on a Location Map. Refer to Appendix 3 for further information
about how to calculate UTMs.
Pte. Other Locational Data: While no further locational data is required, it may be helpful to supply
additional information such as a parcel number; lot, block, and subdivision; and /or directions to a
resource. Parcel numbers may be particularly useful to local governments that make decisions affecting
historical resources. For resources that are particularly hard to find, it may even be necessary to
supplement the Location Map with an Access Map showing how to get to the resource from an easily
identifiable landmark.
*P3a. Description: Provide a concise, well - organized description of the resource. Describe its physical
characteristics and appearance and summarize any features that are associated with it. Where possible, note
all aspects of the resource you observe, even if some of those elements are not recorded in detail.
Descriptions of buildings, structures, and objects should identify construction details, materials,
workmanship, and alterations. Buildings are often described in terms of overall shape, number of stories,
siding type, roof shape and materials, dormer shape, window location and pattern, door location, porch type,
and ornamentation. Information on the nature and extent of any alterations should also be included.
Boundary descriptions may be brief and may refer solely to the resource's parcel where appropriate.
Describe the area outside the boundaries, mentioning as appropriate landscape, use, architecture, and other
aspects related to setting.
Descriptions of linear structures and linear sites should include an overview of the entire resource when
possible, even in cases where only a segment of that resource is recorded. The overview should attempt to
describe the type of resource, when it was constructed, how long it is, its shape, its origin and destination,
how it was constructed (e.g., materials, workmanship, special engineering accomplishments, etc.), its setting
and physical condition, and to a limited degree, its function. When only a portion of a linear resource has
been examined in the field, that segment should be identified on the Location Map.
Descriptions of sites should summarize observed physical characteristics and major cultural and natural
features (e.g., midden, lithic scatter, shell mound, housepits, rock art, bedrock milling features, etc.). While
interpretive comments may also be included, the principal goal of this section is to describe the site in as
much detail as possible.
When recording traditional cultural properties, the description should be based on information provided by
members of the community historically associated with that resource. Refer to National Register Bulletin 38
(National Park Service 1990a) for further information about recording TCPs.
Descriptions of districts should briefly summarize overall characteristics, setting, and the numbers and types
of contributing and non - contributing resource elements. Discuss the characteristics that link the elements of
the district and give it coherence. Mention natural and cultural features as appropriate. If you are describing
an element of a district, provide the Primary Number and /or the resource identifier of the district, when
known.
*P3b. Resource Attributes: Enter those attributes which best define and describe the resource from the list
of Resource Attributes in Appendix 4. Provide the code and a brief description for each attribute identified.
For example, a complex resource may contain several attributes, such as a "(HP2) single family property,"
"(AH2) building foundation," and "(AP4) bedrock milling feature." The codes provided in this data field will
enable attribute -based record searches which, when combined with other variables, will faciliate contextual
research.
*P4. Resources Present: Check the category or categories that best describe the resource that is being
documented using Appendix 5 and National Register Bulletin 15 (National Park Service 1990b) for reference.
7
Instructions for Recording Historical Resources March 1995
When documenting a resource with superimposed elements such as a building located on top of an
archaeological site, check all categories that apply. If the resource is part of a district, check the box for
"Element of District" in addition to the appropriate box (or boxes) that define the kind of resource. If the
record is being prepared to document a district, check the district box.
*P5. Photograph or Drawing and Description: A clear and descriptive glossy 3- 1/2 "x5" black and white
photograph is required for all records documenting buildings, structures, and objects, and may also be
supplied when documenting sites (including isolated finds and minor features). Describe the subject, view,
date the photograph was taken, and the accession number of the photograph (roll and frame #) in Field P5b.
Place the print in a clear polyethylene or polypropylene envelope and affix the envelope to the record in the
space provided using transparent tape, preferrably an archivally stable brand. Scanned halftone images may
be an acceptable substitute for original photographs; however, you should consult with staff at the OHP and
regional Information Centers of the California Historical Resources Information System before submitting --
records with such graphics.
Photographs of buildings, structures, and objects should provide an overview of the resource in its setting, or
a detailed view of the resource itself where appropriate. One contemporary photograph showing the front
and
one side of the resource is usually sufficient. For some resources, however, it may be useful to provide
additional views, supplementary historical pictures, photographs of details, and photographs of ancillary
structures, placed on Continuation Sheets. This space also can be used for a drawing, plan, or map of minor
resources and isolated archaeological finds; or for supplementary text where a photograph or other graphics
are not required.
*P6. Date Constructed/Age and Sources: Indicate whether the resource is prehistoric, historic, or both, list
the construction date or period of use, and briefly describe how that date or period was determined. Indicate
whether the date or period of use is factual or estimated. The term "historic" applies to all historical
resources associated with non - indigenous peoples, as well as those used by Native Americans after direct
contact with non- indigenous peoples. The term "prehistoric" applies to all historical resources used by
Native Americans prior to direct contact with non - indigenous peoples. Cite any references used to
determine the age of the resource.
*P7. Owner and Address: Give the name and address of the resource's current owner(s). If the owner is a
government agency, clearly identify the agency by name (not simply "the State of California" or "the federal
government "). You may give the name and address of the managing unit. Enter "unknown" or "withheld by
owner" if appropriate. Ownership information is often required before a historical resource can be listed on
various state and national registers or to meet local recordation requirements.
*P8. Recorded ft: Enter the name of the person who prepared the record, indicating their agency or
organizational affiliation, if appropriate, and provide a complete address.
*P9. Date Recorded: Indicate the date the record was prepared.
*P10. Survey Type: Indicate whether the resource was recorded as the result of an intensive survey,
reconnaissance survey, or other activity (e.g., volunteer effort) and describe the purpose of that effort. The
terms "intensive survey" and "reconnaissance survey" are defined for the purposes of this entry in relation to
the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation (National
Park Service 1983). Appendix 6 briefly summarizes those definitions and the basic report contents that are
recommended by the Secretary of the Interior for each type of survey.
*P11. Report Citation: Provide a complete citation for any report or publication documenting the discovery
of the resource, if one has been completed or is under preparation. If no survey report or publication exists
or is planned, enter "none." List the name of the author, date of the report or publication, title, and the name
March 1995 Instructions for Recording Historical Resources
of the government agency, private firm, university department, publisher, etc. that the report was prepared
for or published by.'
*Attachments: Check any forms that are attached to the Primary Record and list any other attachments if
appropriate. Check "None" if there are no attachments.
How to Prepare a Location Map
The purpose of the Location Map is to accurately depict the location of the resource on a U.S. Geological
Survey topographic quadrangle or other government map. The Location Map differs from a Sketch Map in
that it generally does not depict the internal arrangement of a resource. The only exceptions to this rule are
the Location Maps created for linear resources and districts, which may depict component features and /or
elements. The Location Map is optional for buildings located on small parcels of land in urban areas when
an address is provided.
Provide the name, scale, and publication date of the map(s) used to depict the location of the historical
resource, and include a copy of the appropriate portion(s) of that map or maps on the Location Map record.
If the map has been photorevised, place the date of the revision in parentheses following the original date the
map was published. The OHP recommends using maps published by the government, particularly U.S.
Geological Survey topographic quadrangles (for rural areas) and Assessor's regional index maps (for urban
areas). Because privately published maps are subject to copyright restrictions, you should check with the
OHP before submitting such materials.
All Location Maps should include a bar scale and north arrow. Accurately plot the shape and location of
the resource on an appropriate map. Very tiny resources may be depicted with a dot, while the exact
configuration of larger resources should be drawn to scale using a heavy black line to indicate the perimeter
of the resource. When possible; show the entire alignment of a linear resource, even if only a segment is
recorded in detail. Do not obscure map details by filling in the areas covered by large historical resources
solidly.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION
Three recording forms can be used for detailed description and evaluation of all types of historical
resources. Those forms consist of the Building, Structure, and Object (BSO) Record; Archaeological Site
Record; and District Record. Each detailed record builds on the basic information gathered on the Primary
Record, and therefore must be accompanied by that form, and a Location Map (when required), unless
submitted as an update to an existing resource file.
Evaluation is a required field on the BSO Record and District Record, while it is optional on the
Archaeological Site Record. Completing an evaluation involves assessing whether a historical resource meets
defined criteria of significance. The NRHP Criteria for Evaluation are recommended as a uniform standard
for California because they provide a basis for assessing the significance of historical resources at the
national, state, and local levels. As such, they encompass and provide for routine consideration of other
applicable state and local criteria. However, other criteria also may be applied when appropriate. The
NRHP Criteria are provided for reference in Appendix 7.
The significance of a historical resource is best understood and judged in relation to a historic context. A
historic context consists of: a theme, pattern, or research topic; geographic area; and chronological period.
The theme, pattern or research topic provides a basis for evaluating the significance of a resource when it is
defined in relation to established criteria. A historical resource is considered significant, and hence, eligible
for the National Register if it is associated with an important historic context and it retains the integrity of

APPENDIX 6: TYPES OF SURVEY ACTIVITIES
(For reference when filling in Field P10 on the Primary Record)
Reports documenting survey activities add to the information available about historical resources by describing
how the resources were identified and evaluated. The Secretary of the Interior has offered specific recommendations
concerning the level of effort entailed in "reconnaissance" and "intensive" surveys.
A reconnaissance survey entails a systematic effort to identify and summarize information about historical
resources in a given area. Reports documenting reconnaissance surveys should provide thorough documentation of
objectives and expectations of the survey, the methods used to discover resources, and the adequacy of such efforts.
While reconnaissance surveys may employ widely different strategies, the reports prepared to document them should
minimally contain the following kinds of information:
1. A clear statement of the purpose of the survey.
2. A definition of the survey area (with map of areas examined).
3. A research design that examines current knowledge of a relevant historic context or contexts, defines
resource types associated with that context, and establishes expectations regarding survey results (e.g., where
resources will be found, how many of each type, etc.). The research design may simply refer to a previously
published one if it is applicable and reasonably current.
4. A definition of the methods that were used during the survey. If a variety of methods are used, the area
covered by each method should be separately depicted on the survey coverage map listed in Item 2 (above).
5. A summary of the results of the survey including a map depicting resource locations, analysis of findings
relative to the study's research design, discussion of any limitations of the survey, and individual records for all
identified heritage resources.
Intensive surveys go beyond the systematic identification and description of historical resources to encompass the
evaluation of those properties within a historic context. Thus, in addition to the five categories of information needed
for a reconnaissance report, the report documenting an intensive survey should also contain:
6. An evaluation of heritage resources identified during the survey as determined within a historic context
using the National Register criteria (or CEQA criteria if appropriate).
7. Evidence that the evaluation was conducted or confirmed by an appropriately qualified professional.
Further recommendations regarding the content of heritage resource reports can be found in OHP's
Archaeological Resource Management Reports ARMR : Recommended Contents and Format (1989) and the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation (National Park Service
1983).
APPENDIX 7: NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA
AND CONSIDERATIONS
Criteria for Evaluation
The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in
districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials,
workmanship, feeling, and association, and:
(a) that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our
history; or
(b) that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
(c) that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the
work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable
entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
(d) have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
Criteria Considerations
Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, or graves of historical figures, properties owned by religious institutions or used
for religious purposes, structures that have been moved from their original locations, reconstructed historic
buildings, properties primarily commemorative in nature, and properties that have achieve significance within the
last 50 years shall not be considered eligible for the National Register. However, such properties will qualify if they
are integral parts of districts that do meet the criteria or if they fall within the following categories:
(a) a religious property deriving primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical
importance; or
(b) a building or structure removed from its original location but which is significant primarily for architectural
value, or which is the surviving structure most importantly associated with a historic person or event; or
(c) a birthplace or grave of a historical figure of outstanding importance if there is no appropriate site or
building directly associated with his productive life; or
(d) a cemetery which derives its primary significance from graves of persons of transcendent importance, from
age, from distinctive design features, or from association with historic events; or
(e) a reconstructed building when accurately executed in a suitable environment and presented in a dignified
manner as part of a restoration master plan, and when no other building or structure with the same
association has survived; or
(f) a property primarily commemorative in intent if design, age, tradition, or symbolic value has invested it
with its own exceptional significance; or
(g) a property achieving significance within the past 50 years if it is of exceptional importance.

SIGNIFICANCE
19. Briefly state historical and /or architectural importance (include dates,
events, and persons associated with the site).
This house was built in 1915 by Joseph Cox, son of William Cox, a
pioneer farmer /rancher in Saratoga. William Cox was born in Ohio in
1827, moved to Iowa in 1846 and married Miss Dicey Baggs there in 1848.
The Cox family came to the Santa Clara Valley by covered wagon in 1852.
William began in farming as a hired hand, then rented a piece of land
and put in his own crop, and finally bought 70 acres in the Saratoga
area in 1874. He ultimately owned 315 acres, all under cultivation and
known locally as the Dicey Cox Subdivision. The property was divided
and given to his six children. William's son, Joseph, built this
bungalow for his son Lloyd and his wife, who moved away and passed the
property to a brother, Edwin Cox. Edwin lived in the house with his
wife, Helen, until his death in 1977; Mrs. Cox continues to live there.

Want to know what City Hall was like
r in 19769 Just ask Jima Martin, who
was recently recognized for 25 years
of service with the City of Saratoga.
Jim attributes the people that he has
wowed with as being the biggest
factor in his longevity with the City. He credits his supervisors
as great leaders, teachers and friends., Jim bas been through
ray changes in City Hall.. He has worked with six City
Managers and has seen City hall remodeled and enlarged to
accommodate the growing City respoosiibdities and staff. Jim
thinks the small town charm, and safety make Saratoga a unique
play. Jinn would tell a new City employee that working for the
City is a good job to rail a family and you can count on a
steady income. Congratulations Jim on 25 years of service!
