Dill, Arc Re Montalvo Rehabilital Status Report: ITEM I.E. MEMO d E 9 E§ U LS IS JAN 3 1 2006 Lb 07'v of SARA TOGA Prior to start of construction, an arborist assisted Montalvo in the rigorous pruning of the wisteria trees over the last two years. Many unhealthy portions of the trees were identified, including rotten, hollow branches and overcrowded branches, so large limbs as well as multiple branches were removed, leaving only healthy material. Construction began just after the first of the year with careful salvage and demolition. a Rafters, heams, and other wood trellis elements: All the rafter members (upper crosspieces) of the trellises from both the Oval Garden and the Artists' Cottages were numbered, salvaged, and stockpiled for examination and final evaluation by the architect and construction consultant. A larger proportion of rotten members was discovered in the Oval Garden than initially anticipated; however, the Artists' Cottages have a higher proportion of sound members than the main colonnade. A decision has been made to utilize all the sound Oval Garden members for repair of the Artists' Cottages, as the rafter members at the Cottages are shorter than those of the Oval Garden, so the original members can be trimmed as necessary for reuse. All new rafters will be installed at the Oval Garden. These rafters will be dried, heart redwood to match in -kind the members that have been removed. The outer trim from the Oval Garden box beams has been salvaged and stockpiled; the damaged structural members from within the beams were discarded. They were identified as decayed from the beginning of the project, this was confirmed during demolition, and this is in keeping with the original plans. b Office wall: The initial plans called for the partial demolition and repair of the office wall (historically the wall of the pool house changing rooms). This is the area of highest unanticipated decay so far. The studs, known to be damaged at their base along the brick and concrete pathx ay, as well as higher up the Zvalls along the rafter - support band, were discovered to be damaged from leaks at the roof parapet walls and trim connections, and the water damage and ensuing pest damage extended down into the walls, particularly throughout the wood lath and about half of the door jambs, but also within the studs and plates and other framing members. A tough decision was made to demolish additional portions of the stucco, to permit repair of the full extent of damage. The final conclusion TAX: 408'ZZ8-0762 • ddoearchisrory.com DILL PE_S16N GKUJP is that the office wall requires much structural augmentation (e.g., sistered studs), some replacement in -kind (e.g., some door jambs), and complete restuccoing as part of this repair project. This focus of the work continues to be the continuing support of the arbor; the scope is not extending within the building. Note that the character - defining interior features of the office wing (e.g., the coved plaster ceilings) have been preserved, and that care is being taken to protect them. Detailing for the replacement exterior stucco and new concrete base (included in the original scope) has been slightly modified to provide as little change to the outward appearance as possible while creating a building envelope that will be more weatherproof than the previous design had proved. Stucco posts: Related to the demolition of the office wall exterior surfaces, but a separate issue, is the replacement of the stucco posts and pilasters within the colonnade. Although these were known to have substantial rot, their poor condition proved more extensive than expected, as their framing had disintegrated into soaking -wet compost restrained only by the stucco finish itself. As these posts provide structural support for the colonnade, they were removed and new framing and footings are being constructed. The character - defining corbels that were attached to these posts have been salvaged and are proposed for reuse. Columns: The concrete columns have remained in place, as have all the original surrounding walls and landscaping. Construction and repair continues at a fast pace: a Footings have been poured and studs installed for the replacement stucco posts. b Along the length of the office wall, new footings are being formed to support the existing studs that have been trimmed to remove rot. Flashing is being installed to separate the concrete and wood contact and improve the wall footing. c New structural beams and some replacement outer trim has been installed, carefully bolted to the tops of the original columns. 4 Planned next is the repair of the office wall framing, installation of the remainder of the beams and beam trim, and rough electrical installation for the trellis lighting. Attachments: Photographs of initial conditions, of intermediate stages of demolition, and of current condition Sketches representing the redesign of the concrete footings to reduce the impact of the new work on the original design. cc: Montalvo Association A6T 2 DILL DESIGN GKUJP Salvaging the rafters and pulling nails from trim Note the end of the box beam — interior beam members disintegrated and box is hollow without support PAGE.

As per our previous conversations, we all expect that the review of this project is ministerial, not discretionary, because the scope of work is repair, rather than new construction. A letter signifying this would be sufficient. We are submitting this project at this stage of design for a courtesy review by the Heritage Preservation Commission. We look forward to meeting with the Commission to answer any questions the members may have. Thank you for your ongoing support in the development of this project. cc.

Pierce Senior Management Analyst, Grants Programs Manager County of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Department 298 Garden Hill Drive Los Gatos, California 95032 -7669 COUNCIL MEMBERS: Aileen Kao Kathleen King Norman Kline Nick Streit Ann Waltonsmith Via US Mail RE: Santa Clara County Grant Funding for Restoration of the McWilliams House Dear Mr. Pierce: Thank you for email response to my phone call last week. I'd like to take this opportunity to reply and request again that the City of Saratoga be reimbursed for the architectural services associated with the restoration of the McWilliams house, as the Santa Clara County grant is essential to the success of the project. Please find below a response to your email dated February 01, 2006. Personnel Costs The funding for the grant has not been used for personnel costs, as the City has not utilized the money to fund City staff time spent on the project. Instead, the invoice reflects time and costs associated with the services of an architect — a cost essential to the planning and implementation of the project. Scope of Work and Itemized Budget The itemized scope of work and the itemized project budget reflect work to be done for the physical restoration of the house. The budget has a total of $80,000 allocated to the physical restoration of the house. However, the grant awarded is in the amount of $100,000. It can be deducted, then, the remaining $20,000 was to be used for architectural services, which is necessary for the physical restoration to occur. If the County never intended to include the architectural services as part of the project scope, the grant would have been awarded in an amount of $80,000. Request for Reimbursement The reimbursement request for architectural services was sent to the County on October 25, 2005. The City did not receive any response from the County on the status of the Mr. David J. Pierce Parks and Recreation Department County of Santa Clara February 07, 2006 request until February 01, 2006, more than three months after it was submitted. During that time, the County knew the project was moving forward, as the project was requested to go before the County Historic Heritage Commission (HHC) at their November meeting.. On October 28, 2005, the County communicated that the project could not be heard until the December HHC meeting, and the invoice could not be processed "until all the conditions in the Grant Contract have been met. One of the conditions is the plan review by the HHC." The correspondence continued to state, "so, if it's acceptable, I'll hold the reimbursement until that review is completed." The offer of holding the reimbursement should have never been extended if, in fact, there were issues with processing it. The City was led to believe the only concern regarding reimbursement was review by the HHC, which has now been completed and re- reviewed to the satisfaction of County staff. City Council Staff Report The Saratoga City Council approved the County Agreement on September 14, 2004. The Staff Report for that item clearly stated a total of $20,000 of the $100,000 grant was to be used for architectural services and contingency. Upon approval by City Council, this agreement was forwarded to the County as part of the grant submittal requirements. The City is not requesting additional funds for the restoration of this project, as the funds for reimbursement have been included in the amount awarded by the County. The City's expectations, with the County's knowledge, for the grant agreement included that of the services of the architect. I'd like to reiterate that the costs associated with the services of the architect are integral to this project moving forward and being completed. Please consider this request and process the request for reimbursement. I can be reached at (408) 868 -1231 with any questions that you have. Thank you. Sincerely, John F. Livingstone, AICP Director Community Development Department ENCL: Letter requesting reimbursement dated October 25, 2005 Saratoga City Council Report dated September 15, 2004 CC: Mayor and Councilmembers Mr. Paul Conrado, Chair, Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission Mr. Warren Heid, Project Architect Ms. April Halberstadt, Saratoga Historical Museum Curator Page 2 4 L 13 ri F' 2,lii SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 15, 2004 ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development PREPARED BY: John F. Livingstone, AICP AGENDA ITEM: CITY MANAGER: DEPT HEAD: SUBJECT: Staff is recommending the City Council enter into an agreement with the County of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Department for a $100,000 grant for the restoration of the McWilliams House. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached agreement and give the City Manager direction to enter into the agreement with the County. DISCUSSION: On October 1, 2003 the City Council approved the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) request to apply for a grant for the City's Historic Park. The original grant request was for $500,000 to restore the McWilliams House and landscape the park. The grant was approved for only $100,000 limited to the restoration of the McWilliams House. Unless directed otherwise by the Council, staff will keep the project within the $100,000 grant amount. The following is an estimate of how the money will be used: $15,000 for Architectural services $80,000 for construction and materials $5,000 contingency ALTERNATIVES: The Council can continue the item for further discussion. FISCAL IMPACT: No matched funds are required for the grant. The architectural services, building materials, and construction cost will be paid for by the grant. The only cost to the City will be staff time. FOLLOW UP ACTIONS: 1. The City Manager will enter into an agreement with the County of Santa Clara. 2. A request for a Historic Architect will be advertised. The HPC will review candidates and recommended one or more to the City Council for approval. 3. The Council will select a Historic Architect and approve a contract with the Architect. 4. The HPC will work with the Historic Architect to finalize a restoration plan to recommend to the City Council. 5. Council approves a restoration plan. 6. The restoration plan is submitted to the Building Division for approval. 7. A request for a Contractor will be advertised. 8. The Council will select and approve a contract with a, General Contractor. 9. Construction starts. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: The item has been placed on the City Council Agenda and posted pursuant to Government Code 54954.2 ATTACHEMENTS: 1. Historic Project Agreement with the County 2 of 2 From: David Pierce [David. Pierce @prk.sccgov.org] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 6:23 PM To: John Livingstone; Shweta Bhatt Cc: Dana Peak (E- mail); Ed Souza; 'Kathy Berry' Subject: McWilliams House Reimbursement Hi John, I got your call and I can understand your concern. I went back and checked all a -mails between us. I find none that reference the allowance of the preparation of the plans as part of the HHC Project Agreement. If you run across something that notes we'd include these costs, please let me know. I also researched the files on the project for possible additional information. I note that in the original grant application the City was "asking for a total grant of $500,000, which would include construction plans and contingencies." In the budget breakdown included with the application, it was noted that $47,000 was allocated toward "plans and contingencies." As the grant moved through the approval process of being reviewed by the HHC and then the Board of Supervisors, conditions were added to granting the funds. As you know, the City was granted $100,000 for the project. Therefore, the funding could not possibly fund all the items the City wished to implement. The recommendations of the HHC and the conditions placed on the grant by the Board of Supervisors were: 1. County funds will not be used for any personnel costs and will be only used for rehabilitation of the McWilliams House. 2. The plans for restoration will be reviewed by the HHC prior to execution of the work. 3. Provide documentation of a public access schedule by the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department. Item number 1. is in line with the HHC's wishes (noted in the Grant Request for Proposals) to fund physical restoration projects rather than planning or projects that are not capital improvements. Thus, it appears limitations on the funds awarded to the City removed some of the items and costs that were originally part of the grant proposal, such as the preparation of the plans and contingencies. When the Project Agreement attachments I sent to the City were prepared, they apparently followed the conditions approved by our Board of Supervisors and included items only used for rehabilitation of the McWilliams House in Attachment A (Itemized Scope of Work), and didn't include preparation of the plans to implement the restoration. Attachment B, the Itemized Project Budget, which enumerates the various restoration work item costs, additionally supports this. Therefore, I think what might have happened is that the City initially wanted to include the costs of preparing the plans in the grant award, but those were eliminated as the approval process moved forward. If I've missed something here or you have anything that supports inclusion of the plan preparation in the grant award, please let me know. I'll be happy to review and consider it.

A. Property Location: 20865 Wardell Rd., Saratoga, California Property APN: 366 -57 -004 (Lot B) Project Applicant: Terence Szewczyk, P.E. Property Owner: Tom Lim (Hall Family Trust, prior owner) Project Description The applicant proposes to demolish a barn situated on a lot that also has an existing ranch style single family residence. Staff is presenting this request to demolish the barn to the Heritage Preservation Commission because the structure appears to be more than 50 years in age. According to the applicant, the barn was constructed c. 1950. Background, Analysis and Designation Criteria This barn is situated on one of four lots that were under a Land Conservation (Williamson Act) Contract limiting the parcels to agricultural and open space purposes. This Contract was cancelled with Saratoga City Council approval on January 31, 2006. The Hall family has placed the four lots on the market, and Lot B was recently sold to Mr. Lim, who would eventually like to build a new home on the site. It is anticipated that the other lots would each be developed with single family homes, as well. The applicant has provided a letter describing the barn. Staff would like the Heritage Preservation Commission to review the attached pictures and view the barn at the scheduled site visit and make one of the following determinations regarding the requested proposal for its demolition: 1. Determine that the Barn Structure is not historically significant: If the Commission determines that the barn structure is not historically significant staff would deem the request for its demolition exempt from environmental review. 2. Request additional information before determining if the Barn Structure is of historical significance: Require the applicant to have an historical assessment prepared by a qualified consultant to determine the historical significance of the Structure and return to the Commission with findings. 3. Determine that the Barn Structure is historically significant and direct staff to place the structure on the historical list: Staff will begin environmental review of the proposed demolition per CEQA guidelines. The result of this action may require that the applicant preserve the barn or proceed with an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

It has limited historic significance and we have photo- documented it as previously submitted. Structure History Marshall S. Hall acquired two parcels from Felix Chilton and Gerda Godon in December of 1948. One parcel contained a residence on 3.75 acres (Parcel A) and the other was orchard or open land, further west containing 19.5 acres. At that time Godon & Chilton retained certain parcels adjacent and south, Parcels `B" and "C." Godon constructed a barn on parcel B in approximately 1950. The barn housed a horse for her children in the right -side (north) shed. Hay was stored in the center portion on a raised wood floor. A tractor for discing the orchard was stored in the left -side (south) shed which has a dirt floor. In November of 1967, Marshall and Helen Hall acquired two additional parcels from Godon and Chilton (parcels B and C) including the small barn on parcel B. In the 1960's, Randy Hall (son of Marshall) constructed a ramp to the center section of the barn to allow storage of automobiles for repair and servicing. There were never any industrial compounds or pesticides stored in the barn. It has generally sat unused for the past 35( ?) years. Architectural SiEnificance The barn has limited architectural styling, with the only feature of significance being the radial pattern of boards that decorate the center door. Originally painted red, the old redwood timber has been white - washed. The potential buyer of the property is willing to commit to the re -use of the wood from demolition of the barn for a trellis, fence or other TS /Civil Engineering, Inc. 1776 Technology Drive, San Jose, CA 95110 Telephone: 408.452.9300 Toll Free: 888.327.7070 Fax: 408.452.9301 www.tscivileng.com Clayton Hall Job No. 02 -277 February 1, 2006 Page 2 of 2 site feature.

City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, California 95070 M E M O R A N D U M DATE: February 14, 2006 TO: Heritage Preservation Commission FROM: Shweta Bhatt, Assistant Planner jo- SUBJECT: Demolition of a Single Family House Property Location: 14639 Big Basin Way, Saratoga, California Property APN: 503 -25 -013 Project Applicant: Eugene Zambetti & Thi Tran Zambetti Property Owner: Zambetti Family Trust Project Description The applicant proposes to demolish a single - family house at 14639 Big Basin Way. Background, Analysis and Designation Criteria The property is not listed on the City's current Historic Resources Inventory list. However, the applicant has obtained a historic evaluation of the property from Archives and Architecture. The evaluation is dated January 25, 2005. The attached DPR523 form offers information regarding the historic significance of the structure and evaluation of the structure with respect to the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR). Their analysis concludes that the structure may be eligible for the CRHR under Criterion 1 because "it remains a rare example of worker housing from when Saratoga evolved as a lumbering community." However, according to the analysis, it does not appear eligible under Criterion 2, as its occupants during its historic period do not appear to have made recognized contributions to the history of Saratoga. The report has not analyzed the property for local significance. The applicant has also secured the services of a structural engineering firm (Westfall Engineers) to assess the structural integrity of the building and evaluate possibilities for structural rehabilitation. The report and findings of the engineer have been summarized in a letter dated January 12, 2006, which is attached to this memorandum. The report concludes the overall structural condition of the building as "very poor" and states, "it is not possible to list safely, and /or move the building in order to retrofit an appropriate new foundation," but it may be possible to utilize "some undamaged portions of the structure ... for future construction." A third report, regarding pests and organisms, has also been submitted with this application. The report, dated August 19, 2005, has been completed by S.G. Mayne Termite Company, Inc and concludes the structure has visible problems of which subterranean termites, dry-wood termites, fungus /dryrot, and beetles appear to be the cause. The applicant is requesting demolition of the structure in order to accommodate a new commercial development on the site. A condition of approval requiring reuse of undamaged portions of the building in the new construction could be imposed. HPC February 14, 2006 Meeting Project Address: 14639 Big Basin Way Project Applicant: Eugene Zambetti & Thi Tran Zambetti Review of proposed demolition of single family house Staff is requesting a determination of the Historical Preservation Commission regarding the historical significance of the single family home. The following are three options available to the Commission in reviewing this proposal: 1. Determine that the structure is not historically significant: If the Commission determines that the structure is not historically significant staff would deem the application exempt from environmental review and forward the request for demolition. Any new construction would be processed under separate entitlements. 2. Request additional information before determining if the Structure is historical: Require the applicant to have an historical assessment prepared by a qualified consultant to determine the historical significance of the structure and return to the Commission with their findings. 3. Determine that the Garage /Accessory Structure is historically significant and direct staff to place the structure on the historical list: Staff will begin environmental review of the proposed demolition per CEQA guidelines. The result of this action may require that the applicant either consider mitigation measures to the demolition or proceed with an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

Description: (Describe resource and its major elements, include design, material, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) The residence located on this parcel in the Saratoga village area has served as a rental unit for over 35 years; its use as a single family house originated on this site about 1895. The building, however, appears to have been relocated to this property about that time. The style, character, and materials more closely relate to vernacular houses built about 15 -20 years earlier during the period when the town of Saratoga was closely associated with the lumbering operations on the western slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The house has six rooms and an ancillary bathroom and storage area. It is National style, with the form and shape of the Cape Cod Salt Box house popular during the mid - nineteenth century on the East Coast. Many earlier settlers in the West emulated this building type in the pre - railroad years of the 1850s and 1860s. During the 1870s, local houses took on more Victorian characteristics, with the Italianate style growing in popularity as the internal building heights grew in concert with improved milling technologies.

The residential building on the subject property appears to be a lumbermen's cottage, built sometime in the late 1870s or early 1880s, which was moved to its present site about 1895. It sits on a lot that was part of the original 1852 survey of the town of McCartysville, the forerunner of the present city of Saratoga. In 1881, the San Jose Savings Bank sold three acres of Block 10 in the Town of McCartysville to Antonio Fabretti (Deeds 60:499, 8/13/1881). The vacant three acres had reverted to the bank from Isaac N. Thompson (Deeds 53:165, 10/11/1879) who had purchased it from Thomas J. Jones in 1869 (Deeds 13:178, 3/27/1867). Jones had purchased it the week before from Hannah McCarty (Deeds 13:176', 3/16/1869). Antonio and Maria Fabretti soon afterwards built the house to the west, at 14669 Big Basin Way. That house is still extant and is listed on the Saratoga Historic Resources Inventory. Swiss -born Antonio Fabretti was a saloonkeeper who had emigrated around 1868 to California with his wife Maria and their eldest child Joseph. (Continued on page 4, DPR523L) B11.

The structural-system consists of a wood platform base of wood sills and posts that support floor joists and tongue & groove flooring, structural single -board walls of 12 foot redwood planks that are 12" wide and 1" thick, ceiling of wood panels, and roof system consisting of low -slope rafters covered-with composition asphalt' shingles. The perimeter board walls are fixed to the side of the floor system, and although the attic was not viewed, normally this type of structural system consists of the ceiling joists hung from a ledger at the top of the wall planks with the'roof rafters inserted into the ceiling) joist /wall juncture. The vertical joints of the vertical wall boards are covered on the east (right) and north (rear) sides with 2" battans. The front facade and west (left) side walls have been covered with redwood channel -rustic dropsiding. The.dropsiding may have been added to the building subsequent to its construction. It is the most common siding material found on buildings built throughout the county from about 1865 to 1890, and continued to be manufactured and utilized into the early twentieth century. Although single -wall board and battan structures are common to pre - railroad construction, rural areas continued to use this building technique throughout the nineteenth Fenestration consists of what appear to be original six - over -six double hung sash on the front and west facades, a matching window of later vintage on the east wall, and other miscellaneous multi -lite windows at the rear rooms. The windows have flat board surrounds. The most westerly (window on the front facade is an old window that has been inserted sideways into an early doorway and the bottom of the door remains intact at this location. Both this blocked doorway and the central front door have glass transoms above, and the central front door contains a large fixed glass pane. The transom of the closed doorway does not exactly match that of the central doorway, but the closeness of the detailing probably indicate that it was added shortly after the building was constructed. An additional entryway appears to have been located on the east side of the building where a kitchen casement windows is presently installed. Below the window the siding has been patched to match the wall. The front porch is a recent replacement and is most likely similar in design to the original except for the floorboards. Evidence exists of pilasters that were once located at the outside edges of the original porch at the front wall. The rear porch and bathroom area are not original to the building and were probably added over time during the twentieth century. The rear porch has a concrete slab foundation, unlike the main building itself which sits on mud sills. The interior has been modified somewhat although many doors and frames exist that are likely original to the building. These doors are thin and have four raised panels, the panels trimmed with flush mounted molding. Some of these have original hardware. The front room at the southeast corner of the building has a lowered ceiling and an added interior wall that frames a closet. The site has minimal landscaping, a picket fence at the front property line, and a chainlink fence at the rear separating it from the creek. An early well is located just to the northeast of the house. To the rear is a plywood storage shed. The neighborhood setting contains a mix of buildings from the nineteenth century unincorporated village of Saratoga as well as more recent buildings designed to complement the historic character of the village center. (Continued from page 2, DPR523b, B10) On June 27, 1887, county surveyor Charles Herrmann surveyed this part of Big Basin Way (then called Lumber Street). While the Fabretti house at 14669 Big Basin Way is shown on the map, no house appears on the subject property. Days before her death on November 14, 1888, Maria Fabretti divided the family's property on Lumber Street between her three children, Joseph, Angeline (Lena), and Mary (Deeds 112:212, 11/6/1888). On March 9, 1898, Joseph Fabretti sold Lot 1, Block 10, presumably his portion of his inheritance, to Joseph Poncia (Deeds 209:144). Poncia had been occupying the land since taking out a mortgage on the property in December 1895, and the 1898 deed signified that the note had been paid off. (Continued on next page) DPR 523L (1/95) *Required Information *Recorded By F. Maggi & B. Montgomery 'Date 1/24/2005 ® Continuation ❑ Update oseph Fabretti was an early -day teamster who hauled timber from the Santa Cruz Mountains to San ose lumber mills. He handled one of the famous seven -horse teams hauling giant logs from high n the mountain timber areas to the Hubbard and Carmichael Lumber Co. (San Jose Mercury Herald, /23/1948). By 1895, the available timber used for commercial purposes on the Saratoga side of he Santa Cruz mountains had been sawed, and the mills were moved to a location about five miles elow the summit on the ocean side of the mountains (San Jose Mercury, 1895). It is likely that oseph Fabretti might have obtained this house from a recently abandoned lumber camp above aratoga, and brought it to the lot which he sold to Joseph Poncia. During the lumbering period ssociated with the village of Saratoga, drivers were often partially paid with food and lodging rovided by the company they worked for. The extant building has the characteristics of an 1870s ernacular apartment building that probably housed three separate workers. oseph Poncia was an Italian -born laborer. His wife Catherine had emigrated from Como, an alpine egion of Italy. They had three children, Mary, Peter, and Joe. Catherine Poncia died in 1942, nd in 1946, Joseph Poncia sold the property to Theresa P. Downing and Dee W. Downing (OR 403:227, 9/10/1946). Theresa was divorced from Mr. Donning in 1953 and received the property in he settlement (OR 4453:290, 10/7/1953). Since 1959 the property has been jointly owned by ichard and Theresa Sudholt (OR 4453:293, 611811959), and it became a residential rental about 965. iteria A /1: The house appears to be associated with early (pre -1895) patterns of development the unincorporated village of Saratoga, and though probably relocated, remains a rare example worker housing from the period when Saratoga evolved as a lumbering community. Although the ilding has been used as a single - family house since 1895, its shape and character continues to flect the earlier period of use and is unique in this regard within the larger context of the ntemporary Saratoga village area. Because of this important association and its rarity, the ilding appears to be eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources under iterion 1: iteria B /2: Although possibly active in their community, the occupants known to be associated th the property during its historic period (the Poncia family) did not make specific, dividually recognized contributions to the growth or history of Saratoga or the region in such way that would cause their association with the property to make it historically significant. e property would, therefore, not appear to be eligible -for the National Register under iterion B or the California Register under Criterion 2. 1 tional photos: 6: front door 7: rear elevation DPR 523L (9/95) *Required Information - _ _ ;''ri - rd:!G: �:;Y;�4:1~;ji �aa+-- iftc�`a��i - � '�Cti'� ?' _ - :, ?,^�^.�: '•i� -=.:�' =i" �r'� qy f M d ' f, � � 7 i r i t - t 1.n 7V . i , 1 m.�� t,.w mm•mea� a� : . � » Job No. 2005 -103 January 12, 2006 Mr. Gene Zambetti Judge Foster Building 14540 Big Basin Way Saratoga, CA 95070 WESTFALL ENGINEERS, INC. Consulting Engineers 14583 BIG BASIN WAY SARATOGA, CA 95070 TEL: (408) 867 -0244 FAX: (408) 867 -6261 Subject: Structural review of the single - family residence at 14639 Big Basin Way, Saratoga, California. Dear Mr. Zambetti: On August 24, 2005, and January 12, 2006, I performed a visual review of the above - mentioned single - family residence. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the feasibility for the structural rehabilitation of the subject structure. EXISTING CONDITION: The existing building is a single -story, wood -frame construction. The original structure was constructed 80 (+ -) years ago, with numerous remodels /additions in later years. Some of the construction is unconventional, such as 2x4 "flat stud" partition walls. The structure is supported by wood posts, installed directly on the ground, without a concrete foundation. The construction is unorthodox, with uncertain patterns of structural support. All, of the visible posts, are damaged by termites or "dry rot ". Due to the absence of the foundation, the structure has suffered significant differential settlement. As the result of the settlement, and, possibly, past seismic events, all of the floors are sloping and all of the walls, exterior and interior, are out -of- plumb. There is an evidence of separation of some of the structural building components from each other, such as wall -to -wall or wall -to- ceiling connection. All of the ceilings show evidence of past water intrusion. Evidence of "dry rot" is present in the area of the front porch, around some doors and windows, interior plumbing wall, some fascia boards, and roof overhangs. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on the visual review, the overall structural condition of the above - mentioned building is very poor. SURVEYING CIVIL STRUCTURAL It is, in my professional opinion, not possible to lift safely, and /or move the building in order to retrofit an appropriate new foundation. In addition, the uncertainty, regarding the condition of the existing structural wood, makes any predictions regarding future structural performance, impossible. In order to evaluate the condition of the existing structure, extensive destructive testing would be required. It is, therefore, my professional opinion that the structural rehabilitation of the above - mentioned building is neither feasible nor safe. It may be possible to salvage some undamaged portions of the structure, and reuse them for future construction. Please note: The construction review evaluates structural conditions only, and is based on visual observation only, in areas which are readily accessible to such observation. It is based on a professional opinion, and all conclusions, and recommendations, are made in accordance with the generally accepted engineering principles and practices. No destructive testing has been performed. The review reflects only the current condition of the portion of the structure under investigation and is, in no way, intended as a warranty, guaranty, or as an insurance policy that the above - mentioned portion of the structure will remain in its current condition. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
