With their approval I will then proceed with the approved changes to the plans and specifications for bidding. Kindly let me know if this procedure is not correct. Thank you for your assistance with this project. Very ruly yours, Warren B.

Wa n B. ei IA -E Architect Emeritus i-V A �: AO-,O 7c,+ # ` 8,aratooa 0 s A L Hi,storical Museum January 24, 2006 TO: Members of the Saratoga City Council Members of the Saratoga Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Saratoga Historical Foundation RE: McWilliams House Restoration project The Board of the Saratoga Historical Foundation met in scheduled session on January 11 and reviewed the revised plans for the McWilliams House restoration project. Architect Warren Heid again reviewed the project plan which was discussed at length. The Board unanimously supported the restoration of the structure as having the highest priority, and agreed to Mr. Heid's plan with minor changes, which was unanimously approved with one abstention. A secondary priority involves the construction of the separate storage facility, assuming there may be funding remaining from the County grant. We believe that you have received Mr. Heid's letter detailing the revised project priorities which include: • Closure of rear foundation opening and providing adequate under - structure venting • Repair of dry rot in left -front sill -plate as required • Closure of rear outside wall matching construction methods of original building construction • Secure existing under -floor posts and girders to meet earthquake standards • Replacement of both front and rear (with ADA considerations) porches • Repair or replacement of windows with historically accurate design • Install workable exterior shutters on front windows to reflect period photographs of building • Repointing and repair of the chimney and siding • Repair and restore wood floors J —2— January 24, 2006 / Replacement of electrical service panel to meet current and future electrical needs ■ Rehabitation of interior lighting and electrical system to include: • Replacement of fluorescent fixtures with historically appropriate lighting • Removal of unnecessary heaters and exposed conduit • Removal or relocation of electrical receptacles • Installation of fire and security alarm systems • Review mold conditions; treat as may be required • Paint interior and exterior of building • Construction of separate storage structure It is our understanding that the ramp and rear entry modification to facilitate handicapped access (in compliance with the requirements of the American's With Disabilities Act) will be built with a funding source separate from the County grant and obtained by the City of Saratoga, but will be included with this project and bid process. Approved project drawings included a detached storage structure at the rear of the McWilliams House. It is the desire of the SHF Board to have this additional storage, but that the accurate restoration of the house to Department of the Interior standards should be the first priority. It is hoped that a sensitive and accurate restoration will demonstrate our commitment to preserve the integrity of the structure and support our application to place this important early California building on the National Register of Historic Places.

An application for design review is being processed by the Community Development Department that includes the demolition of the existing structures and construction of a new two -story home. Background, Analysis and Designation Criteria In January 2005, the Community Development Department received an application for design review for the demolition of the existing residential structure and carport and the construction of a new two - story home and garage. The original structure was constructed in 1900 and had been damaged by fire in 2004. Because of it's age and location of the structure at the intersection of Oak Street, staff notified the applicant during the processing of the design review application that a historic resource evaluation would be required for review by the Heritage Preservation Committee. The applicant was in the process of retaining a historic consultant when a second fire occurred and further damaged the structure in the summer of 2005. Because the application was in process, staff directed the applicant to proceed with the historic evaluation as part of the request for demolition of the structure. The applicant retained the services of Carey & Co., a qualified historic preservation consultant with the California Office of Historic Preservation. Carey & Co. prepared a Historic Resource Evaluation on December 12, 2005 (attached) and assigned the property a "67" rating, indicating that the property does not appear individually eligible for NRHP or CRHR, or local listing based criteria set forth in SMC Article 13 -15. Staff is requesting a determination of the Historical Preservation Commission regarding the historical significance of the house and carport structures.

Prior to these events, a two -story wood framed structure stood on a brick faced concrete foundation above a basement. The building was clad in v- groove horizontal wood siding with corner boards and a half -round watertable, and topped by a composition shingle covered hip roof. Moderate roof overhangs featured exposed soffit and rafter tails. Projecting from the roof were two parged chimneys. The primary (east) entry was composed of a brick stair flanked by brick pillars at the sidewalk, leading to a covered wood wrapping porch with brick side walls. Windows were mostly wood double -hung with shaped stile ends and simple wide trim. Single -story additions appear to have been made to the south facade. Interior remnants indicate that materials and finishes included lath and plaster walls and ceilings, hardwood flooring, and molded baseboards and opening trim. The site also features a three -car carport composed of concrete masonry units, brick walls and a wood framed roof. *P3b. Resource Attributes:(List attributes and codes) HP2.

Significance: CON'T Background History: The following section provides a general overview of the early history of Saratoga followed by a more specific history of the property at 20626 Komina Avenue. The Saratoga history statement was excerpted from "Saratoga's Heritage," A Survey of Heritage Resources, published by the City of Saratoga in 1992. The property history was compiled by Carey & Co. from archival sources and visual observation. Summarized History of Saratoga "Saratoga's setting, against the eastern foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains, seems such an ideal location for a pleasant late 20th century suburb that one might think it has always been this way. But suburban Saratoga is only the latest stage in a rich history that goes back before the gold rush, a history which has left its traces in our historic resources. Among the homes and shops of the modem town, the buildings remaining from these earlier eras are clues to that past. "The first settlers in Saratoga, ancestors of the Ohlone Indians, arrived thousands of years ago, and have left traces which are visible only to the trained eye of the archeologist. The oldest remaining buildings in Saratoga date from around the middle of the nineteenth century, a few years after the first European - Americans settled near the banks of Arroyo Quito. The community they built followed a pattern quite different from most areas in the United States, for Saratoga began as an industrial town and then evolved as an agricultural center and finally into the residential suburb of today. "Although the De Anza expedition of 1776 camped in or near Saratoga, it wasn't until the 1840s that William Campbell saw the potential of the local redwood trees as lumber to build homes for the settlers coming west from the United States to Alta California. In 1847 he signed a contract with Manuel Alviso, owner of the Rancho Quito, to build a mill on the banks of what is now Saratoga Creek to process the lumber he planned to remove from the steep sides of the canyon. A small community formed at the foot of the canyon, called informally, Campbell's Gap. "The end of the Mexican- American War, the discovery of gold, and the admission of California to the Union in 1850 all stimulated interest in the industrial potential of the small community. Flour milling was added to Campbell's enterprise, and soon other lumber and grist mills were established along the creek. The growing settlement was surveyed for the first time in 1852, and when it acquired its first Post Office, it was named not for Campbell, who had sold out his holdings, but for another early settler, Martin McCarty. McCarty, an Irish immigrant, had realized the need for better transportation into this growing area, so he built a road through the tiny town and set up a toll gate at what is today Big Basin Way at 3rd Street. The town came to be know as Tollgate (or Toll Gate), but officially it was McCartysville. "These first settlers built simple pioneer cottages for themselves, a few of which survive, such as the McWilliams house, now the office of the Chamber of Commerce in the Historical Park, and the John Henry house, at the corner of Big Basin Way and 6th Street. They also began to develop community institutions, such as the Sons of Temperance, whose meeting hall on Oak Street served as the site of Saratoga's first public school. They DPR 523 L (1 /95) *Required information State of California —The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Yage 9 of 16 *Resource Name or # (Assigned by recorder) 20626 Komina Avenue (HRE) *Recorded by: Carey & Co. Inc. *Date: 11/4/2005 ❑x Continuation ❑ Update established churches, a Post Office, and Madronia cemetery, and despite the active Sons of Temperance, McCartysville was reported to be well supplied with saloons. "Industry continued to be attracted to the small community where the creek provided a ready supply of power. Lumbering also continued to be important, and the main street of McCartysville was called Lumber Street by the inhabitants. In 1871 the Saratoga and Pescadero Turnpike was opened, improving the lumber routes to the little town of Felton over the hill. The flour and lumber mills were joined by a tannery and by a successful paper milling industry. One of the most colorful and visionary of these early industrialists was Charles Maclay, who bought up one of the mills, renaming it Bank Mills, and then had the Post Office rename the small town after his enterprise. Although he went on to a noted career in finance, real estate and the state legislature, he never succeeded in convincing the settlers of McCartysville to call their town Bank Mills. "Milling was not the only industry to excite the early city fathers. There was great hope for Saratoga as a mining center, first from copper, and then silver, but the only successful extractive industry was lime quarrying for use in brick building and in processing quicksilver. More successful was the exploitation of the healthful water which came from several springs above the town. The springs had been located in the 1850s, and in 1864 the townspeople, hoping to emphasize the similarity of their water to that of the famous New York spa, voted to rename their town Saratoga. So it was that a California town came to have an Iroquois Indian name. "Shortly before the name change, a corporation had been formed to develop the springs, and in 1866 the Congress Hall resort hotel opened, its name echoing a site at Saratoga Springs, New York. The original hotel was later expanded, and became the center of the large Pacific Congress Springs resort area, surrounded by vacation homes, trails and picnic spots. Saratoga's reputation as a resort center spread in the 1880s and 90s, and other mineral spas, picnic areas and resorts began to attract visitors. One of the most popular of these new resorts was at Long Bridge, on Congress Springs Road, where the Saratoga Springs resort is today. The hotel at the Pacific Congress Springs resort burned down on June 15, 1903, but Saratoga's reputation as a vacation site, both for day trips and for long stays, was firmly established. "As Saratoga was developing as a resort, it was also being transformed from an industrial center to an agricultural producer. There had always been farmers in the area, but as the easy supply of timber began to give out and the mills moved away, ranching became the economic core of Saratoga. Early farmers had produced mostly grain, but in the 1880s fruit ranching began to replace it. The problems with successful fruit production are preservation and transportation. The fruit that launched Saratoga's industry was the French prune, which could be inexpensively dried and thus preserved and reduced in bulk. The demand for dried fruit grew rapidly, and large tracts around Saratoga were planted to fruit trees. Soon prunes were followed by apricots and grapes and to a lesser extent by pears and apples. "As fruit ranching grew, the community continued to focus on its core around Lumber and Oak streets. New and larger schools were built near the site of the Sons of Temperance hall in 1869 and again in the 1890s. Two churches built during this era remain, now adapted to different uses: the Methodist - Episcopal church building which now serves as a photography studio and St. John's Episcopal church, which has been remodeled into a private home. Many of the shops in the central business district also date from our agricultural era. Two which are easily identifiable are the Cloud store building and the Hutchinson building which flank 3rd Street at Big Basin Way, at the site of Martin McCarty's toll gate. New commercial buildings continued to be mixed with DPR 523L (1/95) `Required information State of California — The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 10 of 16 *Resource Name or # (Assigned by recorder) 20626 Komina Avenue (HRE) *Recorded by: Carey & Co. Inc. *Date: 11/4/2005 ❑x Continuation ❑ Update residences on Lumber Street into the new century, including the Saratoga Bank building with its reassuring brick strength, (1913) and the Kerr building, built in 1910 and remodeled many times over the years. " Saratoga's reputation as a beautiful spot for an outing or vacation continued to grow with the fruit orchards and the first Saratoga Blossom Festival in 1900 drew new visitors. The festival was conceived by the Reverend Edwin S. 'Sunshine' Williams, a retired Congregational minister, as a thanksgiving for the end of a drought. It brought dozens, and in later years thousands, of visitors to Saratoga to ride through a sea of pink and white fruit blossoms. "Early visitors to the Blossom Festival had come by train to Los Gatos and were then transported by wagon to the orchards of Saratoga. The festival's popularity led the Southern Pacific Railroad to print special excursion tickets for the guests, and after 1904 they could travel all the way to Saratoga in modem cars of the San Jose and Los Gatos Interurban Railway, whose tracks carried passengers along Saratoga- Los Gatos Road, up Lumber Street to the resorts of Congress Springs, and down Saratoga Avenue toward San Jose. "One -day excursions to the Blossom Festival brought many to town, but it also became popular as a longer vacation site. Small hotels like Lunblad's Lodge, still located on Oak Street, or the Saratoga Inn catered to guests from the San Francisco area. Wealthier visitors began to build imposing second homes in Saratoga, many of them echoing historic architectural styles, with Greek columns or Mediterranean arches. "The 1930s were a difficult time in Saratoga, as elsewhere, although agriculture continued to be the firth foundation of the area's economy. For a few years the programs of the Blossom Festival had to be cut back because of hard tithes, and it was eventually abandoned with the coming of World War 1I. Although fruit ranching continued as the center of Saratoga's economy into the early 1950s, the forces that were to change the town were already working. The interurban railroad was abandoned in 1933, a victim of the growing popularity of the automobile. "Saratoga had always served to a small extent as a bedroom community for the larger San Jose, for many members of ranching families made a part of their living from commercial and professional lives in the city. With the easy availability of the automobile Saratoga became a more attractive commuter haven, and when the Silicon Valley economy of the post -war years began to explode, Saratoga's desirability grew. Acres of fruit orchards were tom out beginning in the 1950s, to be replaced by neat tracts of single- family homes, as well as churches, schools and shops to support the growing population. Much of this new development took place away from the traditional center of the town, which had changed its name from Lumber Street to Big Basin Way in 1926. As it grew toward the north and east, it met the rapidly expanding San Jose, and to protect itself from being swallowed up Saratoga became an incorporated city in 1956. In an effort to keep a tie with the past, one of those new schools was named Congress Springs. It too is now gone, a victim of a declining population of young people in the 1970s. "' Summary History of the Property The residential area of Saratoga located southeast of Big Basin Way began its development in the mid to late 19`h century and included pioneer residences, the Congressional Church, and Madronia Cemetery along Oak Street.'

Inc. *Date: 11/4/2005 ❑x Continuation ❑ Update Throughout the early 20`h century residential growth continued including the addition of public schools into the • neighborhood. In keeping with the tree species theme which included Oak Street and Pine, Komina Avenue was originally Elm Street, remaining so into the mid -20`11 century.3 • The subject building, currently located at the corner of Oak Street and Komina Avenue (Elm Street), was • constructed in 1900.4 Archival research was inconclusive as to whether the building was constructed at this site or moved from the east corner of the public school lot on Oak Street near 3"' Street.5 The 1918 Sanborn map illustrates the current building, a two -story residence with a single -story rear portion and a corner wrapping single -story porch. The updated 1930 map shows little change. Permit history, as well as visual observation, indicate that although the interior was greatly altered, the building retained a majority of its original exterior physical fabric and characteristics over the past 100 years. During the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the building suffered some structural damage resulting in the addition of a new concrete foundation and brick veneer base. Most recently, the residence has endured two separate interior fires, • the latest rendering its historic fabric virtually unrecognizable and unsalvageable. The foundation and masonry work are among few elements that remain intact. • Although conclusive ownership and occupant information was not found for the building's first 30 years, oral history links the Fred Gardner family, a branch of the Saratoga pioneer David Gardner family, to the structure.6 However, city directories, as well as census records indicate that orchardist /carpenter Fred Gardner and family resided on Fruitvale Avenue throughout their alleged period of association with the property. Archival research was unable to confirm this connection. The first conclusive ownership information dates to 1929 -30, when Jack Clarke and his wife, May, purchased the property. Mr. Clarke worked for Standard Plumbing and Heating and resided in the house with his wife and two sons, John and Henry. Henry Clarke later became the Saratoga fire chief and continues to reside in the city. The Clarke family maintained the property until the 1940's when they sold it to Al Bosworth, a brick mason /contractor.7 More recent owners include John Felsingea and Robin Huber. The property's current owner is Robert Baratta - Lorton. Mr. Baratta- Lorton co -owned the property with Ms. Huber for several years before becoming the sole - owner. The architectural style of the house located at 20626 Komina Avenue is best classified as Pioneer /Vernacular. Many of the surrounding residences have been labeled Pioneer style as examples of early Saratoga settler architecture. However, 20626 Komina Avenue was constructed upwards of thirty years later than many of these buildings and does not appear to have exemplified any particular established style. 3 Sanborn Fire Insurance Company Maps.

In addition to historic significance, an NRHP evaluation includes a determination of physical integrity, or the property's ability to convey its historic significance. Integrity consists of seven aspects: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. • The residence at 20626 Komina Avenue in Saratoga, CA, is currently not listed on the NRHP. • In Carey & Co.'s professional opinion the building does not appear to be individually NRHP eligible. • • To be potentially eligible for individual listing on the NRHP, a building must usually be over 50 years old, must have historic significance, and must retain its physical integrity. Since this • building was constructed approximately 105 years ago, it meets the age requirement. However, it does not appear to possess sufficient significance or integrity for individual listing. Archival research yielded no conclusive evidence indicating an association with historic events, individuals or entities "significant to the broad patterns of our history" (NRHP Criteria A and B). Under NRHP Criterion C, the building does not sufficiently embody the distinctive characteristics of its style, type, or period to be individually eligible. Finally, archival research provided no indication that the building has the potential to yield exceptionally important information (NRHP Criterion D). The issue of integrity is only considered if a property is found to possess historic significance. Therefore, the integrity of the structure at 20626 Komina Avenue has not been evaluated. However, Carey & Co. would like to note that the building has suffered two fires, destroying a majority of the buildings structure, architectural elements and finishes. Portions of the building less affected by these fires are largely additions and recent alterations. The California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) evaluates a resource's historic significance based on the following four criteria: DPR 523L (1/95) *Required infonnation r-I u State of California — The Resources Agency Primary # DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# • CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 13 of 16 *Resource Name or # (Assigned by recorder) 20626 Komina Avenue (HRE) *Recorded by: Carey & Co. Inc. *Date: 11/4/2005 ❑x Continuation ❑ Update ■ Criterion 1 (Eventl: Resources associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad • patterns of local or regional history, or the cultural heritage of California or the United States. • ■ Criterion 2 (Person): Resources associated with the lives of persons important to local, California or national history. ■ Criterion 3 (Design /Construction): Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master or possess high artistic values. ■ Criterion 4 (Information Potential): Resources that have yielded or have the potential to yield information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California or the nation. In addition to historic significance, a CRHR evaluation includes a determination of physical integrity, or the authenticity of an historical resource's physical identity evidenced by the survival of characteristics that existed • during the resource's period of significance. Any resource listed in or determined eligible for listing in the NRHP is automatically eligible for listing in the CRHR. • Since 20626 Komina Avenue was constructed 105 years ago, it meets the CRHR age • requirements. However, it does not appear to possess sufficient historic significance or integrity for listing. In Carey & Co.'s opinion, under CRHR Criterion 1 archival research yielded no information indicating association with significant historic events. Under CRHR Criterion 2, archival research yielded no conclusive information indicating an association with significant historic individuals or entities. Under CRHR Criterion 3, the structure's vernacular style does not sufficiently embody the distinctive characteristics of the style, type, or period or possess sufficient integrity. Archival research provided no indication that the property has the potential • to yield exceptionally important information (CRHR Criterion 4). • Since physical integrity is based on historic significance, and the building does not appear to possess historic significance, its physical integrity was not be evaluated. • The City of Sarato ga , Municipal Code, Sec. 13- 15.010 , gives the City Council authority to by ordinance designate "a historic landmark, heritage lane or historic district if it satisfies any two or more of the criteria listed below and also retains a substantial degree of architectural and structural integrity with respect to the original design, as determined by the Heritage Commission.

Nor does it exemplify any cultural elements or distinctive architectural character, • design or method of construction. While the building is part of a historic neighborhood, it was • not identified in the 1992 survey of heritage resources, when neighboring residences, including 14666 Oak Street, were featured. The building may have been a contributor to the neighborhood • aesthetic; however it no longer possesses "a substantial degree of architectural and structural integrity with respect to the original design." The building received rear additions, a new • foundation, and brick veneer base over the years. It also suffered from two separate fires recently, rendering its historic fabric and character unrecognizable and unsalvageable. • In Carey & Co.'s professional opinion, 20626 Komina Avenue does not satisfy two or more of • the local designation criteria or the integrity requirement set forth by Municiple Code to be designated a local historic landmark or contributor to a district. • Carey & Co. recommends assigning the building at 20626 Komina Avenue the status code of • "6Z" indicating that the property does not appear individually eligible for NRHP, CRHR or local • listing. • END. • • • • • • • • • • • DPR 523L (1/95) 40 *Required infonnation
