Certificate of Posting of Agenda: I, Shweta Bhatt, Assistant Planner for the City of Saratoga, declare that the foregoing agenda for the meeting of the Heritage Preservation Commission of the City of Saratoga was posted at the office of the City of Saratoga, 13777 Fruitvale Ave., Saratoga, CA 95070 and was available for public review at that location. The agenda is also available on the City's website at www.saratoga.ca.us. Signed this 04'h day of May 2006 at Saratoga, California. Shweta Bhatt Assistant Planner City of Saratoga Planning Division 408.868.1266 'RE: KOMINA House/Corner of Oak'Street — with historical significance to Saratoga TO. Saratoga City Council, Nanning Commission — City of Saratoga, vruitvale Avenue T'he.wc ent application for reconstruction of the burned out house in my neighborhood troubles me a:great deal. I have read through the -reports and looked at the-drawings of the proposed project. As currently submitted, I do not'feel this project is appropriate for my historic Oak Street neighborhood. In addition, the'Historic Report seems to be both incomplete and in error. Since the report -did not ,,give acomplete;picture of the historic nature of the site and the surrounding neighborhood, I feel that the applicant may not understand that the design that has been submitted is not appropriate for Oak Street. A more-complete report would have provided some important information to the designer. The historic report that has been submitted copies the Foreword verbatim word fror word, from Saratoga Heritage. While the author at least credits this source, information in the Saratoga book is neither reliable nor substantive, which should have been noted by the Heritage Preservation Commission when the report was reviewed. Souroet for the information in the Foreword are not listed, although it is presumed that Florence Cunningham's book, Saratoga 's First Hundred Years provided -some of the refemnces: The historic report should have mentioned that the subject- property was originally owned by pioneer Hannah McCarthy and was gifted to the Congregationalist- Missionary5ociety for their use. The report should have discussed the importance of this individual and her many�contributions to our community. The report should have also discussed the nature of the historic Oa'k'Street neighborhood and the impact that the loss of thisvructure will have on the adjacent homes. Saratoga Village is a community that dates back before California statehood. Our- enti,e Village is a State Landmark, listed as Landmark #435. -This designation includes not•only the buildings along Big Basin Way, it also includes the houses along Oak'Street, platted originally in 1'852. Design Guidelines are in effect for the commercial buildings along Big -Basin Way in order to preserve the character of the area. While: guidelines are not as stringent for residential structures, it is important that new structures in this historic neighborhood show sensitivity to the styles and scale of the neighboring buildings. The proposal that has .been submitted is not sensitive -to the design traditions and values of this particular neighborhood. Oak Street is an area that featumesoomfortable modest homes with porches and pedestrian friendly set- backs. Garages are-either detached or at the rear. Typical house styles are late 19th century cottages with-either Victorian or Craftsman design features, styles that are currently enjoys resurgence of popularity. The design that has been submitted is more typical of late - 0`h-ce ntury tract home development. Two Clearly the existing�structure cannot 4 be rebuilt. T4Fee fires have now rendered the building dangerous and it must be razed. But it is my hope that the replacement ~structure will be as:charming as the original and an asset to the neighborhood.

Integrity consists of seven aspec {s ocation, esign, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, an sociation The residence at 20626 Komina Avenue in Saratoga, CA, is currently not listed on the NRHP. In Carey 6&'aCo.'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 etain its physical integrity. Since this building was constructed approximatel'` 105 years ago it meets the age requirement. However, it does not appear to possess' sufficient signi tcance or integrity for individual listing. Archival research yielded no conclusive evidence indicatin&y an association with historic events dividuals or entities "si ificant t tterns of our histo " (NRH.P terra., ' and nder NRRP'Criterion C, the building does not sufficiently- embody the distinctive aracteristics 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. wou 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 cxf±lictr„ ;ral Resources ( HR) evaluates a resource's historic significance based on the following four criteria: DPR'523L (1/95) "Required information .,k ' State of California — The Resources Ageitcy Primary ,# DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI# CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial Page 13 of 1'6 *Resource Name or # (Assigned by recorder) 20626 Komina Avenue {HRE) *Re orded by: Carey &,Co.

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_ Larchival, research ...yield ed no information indicating association _with sin' .is�nt historic events.

As a result of being placed on the National Register of Historic Places, this property has also been listed in the California Register of Historical Resources, pursuant to Section 4851(a)(2) of the Public Resources Code. Please refer to the enclosed sheet for more information about the California Register. Placement on the National Register affords a property the honor of inclusion in the nation's official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation and provides a degree of protection from adverse affects resulting from federally funded or licensed projects. Registration provides a number of incentives for preservation of historic properties, including special building codes to facilitate the restoration of historic structures, and certain tax advantages. There are no restrictions placed upon a private property owner with regard to normal use, maintenance, or sale of a property listed in the National Register. However, a project that may cause substantial adverse changes in the significance of a registered property may require compliance with local ordinances or the California Environmental Quality Act. In addition, registered properties damaged due to a natural disaster may be subject to the provisions of Section 6028 of the Public Resources.Code regarding demolition or significant alterations, if imminent threat to life safety does not exist. If you have any questions or require further information, please contact Patricia Ambacher of the National Register Unit at (916) 653 -6624.

An application for an amendment of a use permit and design review is being processed by the Community Development Department. Background, Analysis and Designation Criteria The Saint Andrews Parish and School site fronts onto Saratoga Avenue, a designated Heritage Lane Because an application is being processed for an amendment of an conditional use permit and design review approval, staff is forwarding this application to the Heritage Preservation Commission for a determination on whether or not this project will have a negative effect on Saratoga Avenue a Heritage Lane. The original Sanctuary was built in 1962 and the original classroom wings were building in 1958 and 1965. A use permit and design review application was approved in 2003 for a master campus plan which included new administrative/ classroom wings, a new office building and an new parish center. Construction of the new campus buildings is underway. The applicant is proposing to construct a Bell Tower, which requires an amendment of the use permit and design review approval. As proposed, the Bell Tower will be approximately 54' in height, which is just below the ridgeline, and located next to the church. It would be located approximately 80 feet from the front property line on Saratoga Avenue. Saint Andrew's is proposing a peal of 9 bells, in the Anglican tradition; something very unique for the City of Saratoga, and the Western United States. The architecture and colors and materials proposed are consistent with the overall campus plan. Staff requests that the Heritage Commission make a determination on whether or not the proposed bell tower will have an impact on the character of Saratoga Avenue, a Heritage Lane.

"BM° L 1 .0 J E C E� U E April P ril 25, 2006 CITY OF SARATOGA _ ♦ "J !1 Y DFVE' Vim. _, The Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Saratoga Shweta Bhatt and John Cherbone suggested that I write to you concerning the name retention of George Whalen Way since the roadway has been transformed into a walkway. When my father, George Whalen, passed away in 1988, former Mayor David Moyles came up with the idea of naming the alley between the Saratoga Post Office and the Saratoga Fire Department for him. Subsequently, the City Council agreed and it happened. Now there has been some building enlargement and some street realignment. As a result, George Whalen Way no longer exists as a motor vehicle thoroughfare. However, there still exists a walkway. I believe that this walkway, generally in the same location as the previous alley, should retain the name of one of the people who helped shape twentieth century Saratoga. George Whalen was important to Saratoga. George H. Whalen arrived in Saratoga with his family as a young child around 1923. He was a product of local schools, graduating from Saratoga Grammar School on Oak Street In 1932. He graduated from Los Gatos High School as class president in 1936. He was captain of the Los Gatos football team in both 1935 and 1936. He was named to the All Santa Clara County Football Team both those years. He was the first local man drafted into service in World War Il. While in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, he rose to the rank of Technical Sergeant (today's Sergeant First Class. His duty was to run the communication unit for his section of the U.S. Third Army in the European Theater, a duty for which he was commended in writing by his commanding general. The USPS had my father's full attention for 36 years. He worked there from 1937 until he entered military service in 1942, and again resuming in 1945 until his retirement in 1974. He was appointed Postmaster around 1955 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. My father had a connection to Sarat a's agricultural industries throughout his fife. He assisted my grandfather when he was the farmer of the land that is now West Valley College on Fruitvale Avenue. Later in life he helped Roland and his sister Leonie Kerwin work their ranch on the comer of Fruitvale and Saratoga Avenues, across from the present day Saratoga Library. George Whalen is the person responsible for the United States Post Office being moved to the location next to the Saratoga Fire Department. He initiated and supervised the construction of that building and the moving of the post office from its previous location Item III B May 2006 HPC Meeting t on Big Basin Way. He was the Street Naming Commissioner for several years while he was Postmaster. He also served on the Santa Clara County Grand Jury for two terms following his retirement as Postmaster. My father was a true son of Saratoga. He lived his life here, he made a difference here. The people of Saratoga loved my father, if their comments to me and the rest of my family are any indication. Thank you for your �- on, . att Michael T. Whalen CC: Shweta Bhatt, John Cherbone Community Development Department City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, California 95070 MEMORANDUM DATE: May 9, 2006 TO: Heritage Preservation Commission FROM: John Livingstone, Community Development Director Deborah Ungo- McCormick, Contract Planner ','Ku SUBJECT: Remodel and addition to an existing single - family home Property Location: 15397 Peach Hill, Saratoga, California Property APN: 517 -22 -100 Project Applicant /Owner: Mehdi and Azar Amini Project Description The applicant proposes to add 374 square feet of floor area to an existing single - family home and to remodel the exterior of the structure. An application for design review is being processed by the Community Development Department for this addition and remodel. Background, Analysis and Designation Criteria In February 2006, the Community Development Department received an application for design review for the remodel of the existing residential structure including an addition of 374 sq. ft. of floor area in the lower and upper level of the building, and major remodeling of the exterior of the residence. The original structure was constructed in the 1925. Because of its age, a historic resource evaluation was required for review by the Heritage Preservation Committee. The applicant retained the services of Archives & Architecture, Heritage Resource Partners. Mr. Frank Maggi, Architectural Historian, prepared a historical and architectural evaluation for the home, indicating that the property does not appear individually eligible for National or California Register of Historic Resources, or local listing. As indicated in the historic evaluation letter, the architecture is reflective of the Arts and Crafts design in its simple shape and use of natural materials. However, the original shingles have been replaced with smaller contemporary shingles, and most of the wood framed windows retrofitted with aluminum sash. Most of the interior has been renovated and is no longer consistent with the Arts and Crafts design. Staff is requesting a determination of the Historical Preservation Commission regarding the historical significance of the house.

Saratoga, CA 95070 FEB 2 2 2006 RE: 15397 Peach Hill Rd. Saratoga CITY OF SARATOGA Saratoga EVEL� °' APN: 517 -22 -100 ^MI INITY D Historical and architectural evaluation Hear Mr. and Mrs. Amini: Please consider this letter a statement of findings considering the potential architectural and historical significance of the property at 1.5397 Peach Hill Rd. in Saratoga; California. This letter outlines our evaluation of the property, based on the definition of historical significance. pursuant to the Guidelines for.Implementatiomof the California Environmental Quality Act ,(CEQA) - Preliminary Review of Projects and Conduct of Initial Study, to determine the significance of impacts to potential historical resources according to section 15064.5 of the California Code of Regulations. For the purposes of CEQA, the City of Saratoga is required to consider historical significance if a property meets the criteria for listing on the California Register. Generally, properties that are at least 50 years old are considered historic and require some level of evaluation by the agency. The City of Saratoga utilizes the research, evaluation, and findings of qualified consultants to help them in determining whether a property might be historically significant in terms of CEQA. The property has not been previously surveyed for or recorded on any local, state, or national registers. We do not believe the property qualifies for listing on the California or National Registers; and that the building lacks integrity to its 1925 construction to be considered a local resource under City of Saratoga criteria. A number of significant renovations were done while under City of Saratoga jurisdiction beginning in the 1950s. Below is a historical overview of the property that places its construction in the context of development of the area: The subject house is located on a plus one- acreparcel among other similar -sized residential properties in the foothills of Saratoga.above SaratogalLos.Gatos Road. This area developed as a. residential estate area in the early years of the twentieth century, following the. decline of the.orchard industry that that evolved in the West Valley in the late nineteenth century during.its.period-of horticultural development. To the south was the large Hume Ranch, and the subject area was subdivided primarily by James T Richards beginning about 1908. The subject house was originally built on a 4.28 -acre parcel in 1925, but the area had continued to develop in the second half of the twentieth century with small lot sizes, with many of the larger early home sites losing acreage to accommodate higher densities. 1 15397 Peach Hill Road The subject property was once apart of the Quito Rancho, a large 13,309 acre Mexican era ranch that was established after 1840 in what later would become the Saratoga - Campbell - Cupertino area. Although formal title to this rancho was not settled until 1866, subdivision of its lands, including the founding ofMcCartyville (later to be named Saratoga) took place during the years preceding the patent. Within an area south of McCartyville, by 1876 the easterly 128 acres of a 160 -acre Section that had its northeast corner near Mendlesohn Lane and Saratoga Los Gatos Road was owned by the widow Hannah McCarty (,also spelled McCarthy). He husband Martin had died in 1864, and she continued to own at least a portion of the property until her death in 1892. The subject property lies within the center portion of this acreage. It is not known what agricultural development Hannah McCarty undertook during her ownership of the property. In 1889, James T. Richards and his wife Carrie arrived in Saratoga, and soon acquired 110 acres of the McCarty property. James T. Richards was born about 1855 in New York and came to Saratoga from Connecticut. He had graduated from Yale with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, working for H. W Johns Asbestos Company (later to become Johns Manville), but relocated to California or health reasons. The property he purchased was jointly owned by his brother -in -law Henry Plant and his wife Mary. Richards . quickly became a pioneer orchardist in the growingprune industry, collaborating with Lawrence Russell in a cooperative fruit drying plant located to the north of the village of Saratoga that is considered the first of the type in the area. By 1903, the original 110 acres had been reduced to 31 acres, jointed owned by F. A. Stone (McMillan 1903). In 1908 he began to subdivide his holdings in earnest, part being the Bonnie Bray subdivision No. 1 of 1908 located northwest of Piedmont Road. He sold off land to Senator James Phelan (20 acres), that would later become the site of Montalvo, and land between Senator James Phelan and his property along Peach Hill Road would be developed as the Piedmont Subdivision No. 1 (Maps M.-99), also created in 1908 along with Bonnie Brae. Richards would continue to be a prominent Saratoga land developer during the next thirty or so years, his activities continuing into the 1940s. His wife Carrie died in 1909, and within a decade, he had married Grace M. Fisher of Oakland. Grace, born in 1869 in Connecticut, had come to California as a child with her missionary parents. In the.late 1880s and early 1890s attended the' University of California, Berkeley. She graduated in 1889, receiving a Masters degree in 1892. It was during this time she befriended fellow student and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority sister Julia Morgan. Following graduation, .Grace was employed as a high school teacher in Oakland until 1906, and later became present of the Oakland YWCA. Plans were begun in 1910 to construct both an Oakland and San Jose YWCA buildings, with Grace leading the campaign to raise $250,000. Both designs, commissioned to her classmate Julia Morgan, were approved in 1913 after Morgan 's return from a tour of YWCA .buildings in.the'Ea tern United States::C071slruction was contpleted4n 1915. Prior: to:,Woxld War 1, she`had relocated to Saratoga, marrying the widower Richards, and went on to be an active community leader. Her first project was the construction of the Saratoga Foothill Club, in which she executed the contract directly with Morgan in 1913 the year that the two YWCA buildings were completed. It is not clear when she actually moved to Saratoga. Both James T. and Grace were living in Russia, Ohio with Grace's sister at the time of the 1920 federal census. By the early 1920s, they had returned to Saratoga and continued with their civic activities. During the 1920s, she was involved in the building of Saratoga's first public library at Oak and Saratoga Los Gatos Road, and in the 1930s with her husband worked with a coalition of churches that resulted in the construction of the Saratoga Federated Community Church, another architectural master work by the then prolific architect Julia Morgan. The church facility contains Richards Hall in honor of their work. It is not clear where on the property Richards had his home beginning in the 1890s to the period when he married Grace Fisher. The Saratoga Historical Museum has a photograph of the Richards house, a two -story Colonial -style building that is said to no longer exist according to undocumented museum records (the notation by local historian Willys Peck). Museum Director April Halberstadt indicates an additionalphoto was on file that indicated Grace Richards sting on the porch of their Peach Hill Road house, but the ARCHIVES & ARCHITECTURE Page 2 15397 Peach Hill Road photograph could not be located during this study. It appears that the Peach Hill Road house was located on the property to the south of the subject project, perhaps originally having access from a Madrone Avenue. During late teens and early 1920s, the Richards sold off small parcels in the Bonnie Brae subdivision. The 1919 Official County Map indicates that at that time the James T. Richards still owned the large acreage surrounding Peach Hill Road, but sometime before 1925 ownership of at least a 4.28 acre parcel (that contains the subject property) was owned by Francis J. and Edith R. Young along with George F. Shaner and C Maude Shoemaker. James T. Richards died on May 14, 1954 in Santa Clara County, the subsequent decree of distribution of his estate in December of that year included property just to the north of Wildcat where it angles off of Piedmont (OR 3027:338). The 1956 city directory lists Richards at 14911 Bonnie Brae Lane in Saratoga. The house on Bonnie Brae was likely constructed about 1920, and was their residence until their deaths in the second hay' Of. the twentieth .century. Julia Morga4 is said: to have been;,. ommissioned by: Grace Richards to. do a house in. Saratoga, and it is probably that the Bonnie Brae house is the result. However, this cannot be substantiated at this time according to a listing ofjobs within Sara Boutelle's catalogue ofMorgan's work. Grace died in 1966 at age 98 while visiting relatives in Oakland. She had been living in their Bonnie Bray house at that time. The Richards sale of the Peach Hill Road property was most likely a larger section than the 4.28 acres the ownership group later sold in 1925; the meets and bounds do not reference a specific recorded tract map but merely define the physical boundaries of the site in reference to Peach Hill Road (a private drive) and the Piedmont Subdivision to the west. The westerly edge of this 4.28 acres parcel aligned along Madrone Avenue, and included a private entry driveway that crosses a small creek as it winds up along the western edge of the property. The entry walls and gate columns as well as the remains of six large Eucalyptus trees are extant today in this location, although this portion of the property was separated from the subject property in the 1960. This entry most likely predates the creation of the 4.28 -acne parcel, and probably accessed the property to the south of the subject parcel. This four owners noted in the 1925 deed sold the 4.28 acres to Emma Hunt Bostwich of San Francisco OR 192:2). According to secondary sources, the existing house was built in 1925 as a summer residence for the Bostwich family. It is not known who the architect of record was at that time, although the building was constructed in the general configuration as it exists today. Emma's husband was apparently a successful railroad engineer, although a review of federal census data from 1920 and 1930 does not show them listed in the Bay Area. The widow Emma Bostwich then sold the 4:28 acres to Henry C. Hunt of Monterey County in 1933 (OR 640:34), and by the 1940s the property was owned by J. K. Epple and his wife. An additional owner apparently was connected with the property between the Hunt and Epple ownership, but the name could not be located. In late 1947, the Epples borrowed $10, 000 on a six month note on the property from Richard J. and Mildred Ferrari of San Francisco (OR 1551:153). The Ferrari's subsequently foreclosed on the property in late 1950 (OR 2083:392). Richard J. Ferrari was the son of Joe and Ida Ferrari of San Francisco. Born there in 1923, he married Mildred Veronica Keegan, who was born in San Francisco in 1922 and who died in San Mateo in 1982 at age 59). The 1930 census shows the Ferrari's living in San Francisco. In late 1955, Richard and Mildred Veronica (Keegan) Ferrari sold the property, which at that time consisted of 4.28 acres to John Robert and Elsie M. Descalzo (OR 3395:529). Richard Ferrari at that time was an electrician, and John Descalzo was listed in city directories as a painting contractor. The Ferrari's financed the transaction. The meets and bounds of the property at that time indicated that it was still in the 4.28 acres configuration as described in the 1925 deed. ARCHIVES & ARCHITECTURE Page 3 t 15397 Peach Hill Road John Descalzo was born in California in 1914, and died in El Dorado, California in 1980 at age 66 He married Elsie Carmichael, who was born 1918 in Virginia, who died in Sacramento in 1997 at age 79. The Descalzo family lived at the property for less than a decade. On August S, 1964, Walter and Louise Hileman filed a map subdividing the 4.28 -acre parcel (Maps 183:21). A record of survey was refilled in 1973 (Maps 334:38), showing the subject property as Parcel "A" consisting of about 1.220 acres as it exists today. Additional house lots were created to the west of the subject site, and the access from Madrone Avenue was made a separate parcel connected to the property to the south. By 1973, George and Harriet Lundquist were the owners, who continued to own the property until 2003 when it was sold to the current owners. The property history confirms that the house is not associated with persons significant to our past. The architecture is reflective of late Arts and Crafts design in its simple shape and use of natural materials. The original shingles have been replaced with smaller contemporary shingles, and most of the wood framed windows retrofitted with aluminum sash. Most of the interior has been renovated and is no longer consistent with the Arts and Crafts design. Development of this property, to include alteration to the original design would not appear to cause an adverse impact to the environment as defined by CEQA, because the property is not historically significant .according to the minimum requirements for listing on the 'California Register of Historical Resources.

The Commission reviewed the designs and made the following vote: The size will by five inches high by eight inches wide (approved by a 7 -0 vote); The simpler design was preferred over the more intricate one (approved by a 6 -1 vote; Commissioner Bailey voted against the style because she felt the relief areas of the sign should be larger and the text smaller). Commissioner Conrado agreed to get pricing information and revised design. At the March 14, 2006 meeting, Commissioner Conrado reported that he has found a vendor that will produce plaques for the historic landmarks. Staff recommends the HPC nominate a Commissioner to follow through with the project. gy=m III F May 2006 HPC Meeting i, INTERNATIONAL BRONZE :.

I already figured in the 20% discount, but since I know you started out with a much smaller plaque, I'll go another 10% off and get you the plaque for $226.00. Just for your information, the retail price right out of our price list is $314.00 for this size, so this really is as low as I can go. Thanks for your feedback, I hope you can sell the committee! (By the way, a big part of my personal distractions these past couple weeks is that my wife just got a new job in Folsom and we'll be moving out your way. In fact, we'll be out there for the second time next week and we gotta find a place to live since she starts March 7th. I'll stay on here for a couple months before joining her. In a lot of ways, it's actually better for my business since now we'll have offices on both coasts, but it's been a real whirlwind trying to get everything accomplished in about 6 weeks). Joe - - - -- Original Message - - -- From: DeboRicei To: sales(a-international bronze. net Cc: Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 10:53 AM Subject: Re: Saratoga Plaque Joe -- regarding the pricing of the plaque -- it is more than the committee had anticipated — do I take the 20% discount off the price you quoted? That would certainly help. Very best, Debby In a message dated 2/3/2005 1:19:56 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, sales@internationalbronze.net writes: Debby: You don't even wanta know what's been going on (most of it's personal ... not business related). Anyways, before I did the colored renderings, I wanted you to see how these came out in the black and white version. They will have to be significantly larger than you would have liked in order to get the logo to the point where we could cast it with the border design and still keep everything consistent with good design. The final size is 14" X 8 ". The real challenge is the small copy around the logo... it needs to be a minimum of 1/4" high or it just doesn't cast very well and it's not something you'd be happy with. Either design is the same price - $251.20 including shipping. Let me know if this meets your initial approval and I will be more than happy to provide full color renderings by tomorrow morning. Thanks for understanding... Joe Gabig International i3ronze Community Development Department City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, California 95070 M E M O R A N D U M DATE: May 09, 2006 TO: Heritage Preservation Commission FROM: Shweta Bhatt, Assistant Planner AZ_,— SUBJECT: National Registry Plaques The Warner Hutton was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places earlier this year. In efforts to recognize this special status for the building, a plaque can be placed on the building. Commissioner Bailey had contacted that State Office of Historic Preservation, who has provided a list of possible manufacturers (attached). The State does not pay for the plaques, nor does the wording on the plaques need to be approved by them. This is the information that has been gathered on the topic to -date. Staff recommends the HPC nominate a Commissioner to follow through with the project. Item III G May 2006 HPC Meeting PLAQUES AND MARKERS FOR NATIONAL REGISTER PROPERTIES Neither the National Park Service nor the California Office of Historic Preservation promotes or recommends any particular type of marker or plaque to recognize National Register properties, nor are there any requirements regarding inscriptions for such plaques. Owners of National Register properties may purchase at their own expense a marker or plaque from one of several manufacturers. The following manufacturers are listed in The Old Flouse Journal Catalog as suppliers of custom and generic markers for National Register properties. (There may be a current edition in your local library.) Owners may contact these companies directly for product information. Note: Some manufacturers use the wording placed on the National Register. The terminology used by the Department of the Interior is listed in.... Request listed in the National Register of Historic Places, not placed on, when you order your plaque.

Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 I. ABOUT THE SARATOGA HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION A. HPC Profile The Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) functions as an advisory commission to the City Council, the Planning Commission, and the agencies and departments of the City. The HPC works in conjunction with these entities to implement the City's Heritage Preservation Ordinance. The scope of the Commission includes property surveys within the boundaries of the City of Saratoga for the purpose of establishing an official inventory of heritage resources, as well as recommending to the City Council specific proposals for designation as an historic landmark, heritage lane, or historic district. B. Commission Mission Statement To provide guidance to the City of Saratoga in order to preserve and protect the heritage resources of the community. C. Commission Meeting Schedule Second Tuesday of every month, 8:30 a.m. at the Warner Hutton House D. Members The HPC is composed of seven (7) members. One (1) member is required to have nomination from the Saratoga Historical Foundation. Two (2) members are required to have training and experience in the field of construction. The other four (4) members are appointed for their demonstrable interest in historic preservation. Page 2 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 II. CODES, STATUES, AND STANDARDS A. Local Governing Code — Chapter 13 of SMC Saratoga Municipal Code (SMC) Chapter 13 relates to historic preservation. This chapter contains information on the composition of HPC, powers and duties of the HPC, criteria to designate historic resources, districts, lanes, etc. The Saratoga municipal code may be found at the following URL: http://www.bpcnet.com/codes/saratoga/. B. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a. What is CEQA? The California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, is a state statue enacted in 1970 that requires state and local agencies to identify significant environmental impacts of their actions. If and when significant environmental impacts are identified, mitigation measures should be enacted to acceptably reduce or eliminate the impact. b. How CEQA Affects Historic Preservation The City of Saratoga requires all project applicants to provide information regarding the age of the existing structure(s). Generally, structures are only considered cultural resources if they are at least fifty (50) years or older. Only in rare instances may a structure less than fifty (50) years old be considered historic. However, at a minimum the City requires evaluation of all structures older than fifty (50) years old. If staff believes a structure to be historic, an historic evaluation and /or review by the HPC may be required. If the structure is deemed significant, the proposed modifications or demolition of the property would be subject to evaluation under CEQA. CEQA states that an impact to an historic resource is an impact to the environment and therefore requires appropriate mitigation measures or adoption of overriding considerations prior to commencement of the project. CEQA §15331 allows the modification of the structure to be exempt from the CEQA process if it meets the Secretary of Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Properties. C. Secretary of Interior Standards The National Park Service has a wealth of information on their website (http: // www. cr. nps. gov/ hps /tps /standards_guidelines.htm) regarding the Secretary of Interior Standards. Much of the below information was extrapolated from the website and is not intended to be comprehensive, but simply an overview. There are Standards for four (4) distinct, but interrelated, approaches to the treatment of historic properties: Page 3 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission (a) Preservation (c) Restoration (b) Rehabilitation (d) Reconstruction. May 2006 a. Preservation focuses on the maintenance and repair of existing historic materials and retention of a property's form as it has evolved over time. Protection and Stabilization have now been consolidated under this treatment. Standards for Preservation 1. A property will be used as it was historically used, or be given a new use that maximizes the retention of distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Where a treatment and use have not been identified, a property will be protected and, if necessary, stabilized until additional work may be undertaken. 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The replacement of intact or repairable historic materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Work needed to stabilize, consolidate, and conserve existing historic materials and features will be physically and visually compatible, identifiable upon close inspection, and properly documented for future research. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 6. The existing condition of historic features will be evaluated to determine the appropriate level of intervention needed. Where the severity of deterioration requires repair or limited replacement of a distinctive feature, the new material will match the old in composition, design, color, and texture. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. Page 4 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 b. Rehabilitation acknowledges the need to alter or add to a historic property to meet continuing or changing uses while retaining the property's historic character. Standards for Rehabilitation 1. A property will be used as it was historically used, or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and (where possible) materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. Page 5 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 C. Restoration depicts a property at a particular period of time in its history, while removing evidence of other periods. Standards for Restoration 1. A property will be used as it was historically used, or be given a new use that reflects the property's restoration period. 2. Materials and features from the restoration period will be retained and preserved. The removal of materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize the period will not be undertaken. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Work needed to stabilize, consolidate and conserve materials and features from the restoration period will be physically and visually compatible, identifiable upon close inspection, and properly documented for future research. 4. Materials, features, spaces, and finishes that characterize other historical periods will be documented prior to their alteration or removal. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the restoration period will be preserved. 6. Deteriorated features from the restoration period will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and (where possible) materials. 7. Replacement of missing features from the restoration period will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. A false sense of history shall not be created by adding features from other properties, conjectural features, or by combining features that never existed together historically. 8. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 9. Archeological resources affected by a project will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 10. Designs that were never executed historically will not be constructed. Page 6 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 d. Reconstruction re- creates vanished or non - surviving portions of a property for interpretive purposes. Standards for Reconstruction 1. Reconstruction will be used to depict vanished or non - surviving portions of a property when documentary and physical evidence is available to permit accurate reconstruction with minimal conjecture, and such reconstruction is essential to the public understanding of the property. 2. Reconstruction of a landscape, building, structure, or object in its historic location will be preceded by a thorough archeological investigation to identify and evaluate those features and artifacts that are essential to an accurate reconstruction. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 3. Reconstruction will include measures to preserve any remaining historic materials, features, and spatial relationships. 4. Reconstruction will be based on the accurate duplication of historic features and elements substantiated by documentary or physical evidence, rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different features from other historic properties. A reconstructed property will re- create the appearance of the non - surviving historic property in materials, design, color, and texture. 5. A reconstruction will be clearly identified as a contemporary re- creation. 6. Designs that were never implemented historically will not be constructed. Page 7 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 III. INVENTORY, DESIGNATION, AND THE MILLS ACT A. Saratoga Heritage Resources Inventory The Saratoga Heritage Resources Inventory (HRI) is a list used by the City to identify properties of potential historic significance. The inventory also lists designated landmarks. However, it is important to note that it is not intended to be an exhaustive list of historic properties within the City. In order to be eligible for placement on the Saratoga HRI, "a property must satisfy one 1 or more of the criteria listed in §13- 15.010" of the SMC. B. Local Designation and Programs a. Historic Landmarks, Heritage Lanes, and Historic Districts To be eligible for designation as a historic landmark, heritage lane, or a historic district in the City of Saratoga, a property must meet at least two 2 of the criteria listed in SMC §13- 15.010. Information on the procedural aspects of designation is also found in Chapter 13 of the SMC. An example how an application may be processed is outlined on page 9 of this document. b. Chapter 13 SMC: §13- 15.010 Criteria. This section of the code reads as follows (emphasis added): The Heritage Commission may recommend to the City Council designation of a proposal as 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. (a) It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the cultural, social, economic, political, aesthetic, engineering or architectural history of the City, the County, the State or the nation; or (b) It is identified with persons or events significant in local, county, state or national history; or (c) It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous materials; or (d) It is representative of the notable design or craft of a builder, designer, or architect; or (e) It embodies or contributes to unique physical characteristics representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood or district within the City; or (0 It represents a significant concentration or continuity of site, buildings, structures or objects, unified by past events or aesthetically by plan or physical or natural development, or (g) It embodies or contributes to a unique natural setting or environment constituting a distinct area or district within the City having special character or special historical, architectural or aesthetic interest or value. Page 8 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 C. Local Designation and Mills Act Process Overview Planning Department • Applicant applies for nomination of a structure as a Heritage Resource with Planning Department (an application for Mills Act Agreement may be filed simultaneously); • Staff ensures all necessary materials have been included in application; HPC Review • Application is scheduled for appropriate HPC meeting; application material is sent to Commission via monthly Commission packets; • HPC collectively conducts site visit; • HPC deliberates on application and makes motion to either recommend or not recommend heritage resource designation and /or Mills Act Agreement with restoration plan to City Council; City Council Review • Upon obtaining HPC approval, Staff schedules application for appropriate City Council meeting; • Application is reviewed by City Council and granted approval /denial; • For Mills Act applications, Staff obtains all appropriate signatures on the contract, and the application is forwarded to the applicant for a notarized signature, and then taken to the County Assessor's Office for recording. C. Federal and State recognition Properties may also be eligible for Federal and State recognition by being placed on the National Register of Historical Places and the California Register of Historical Places, respectively. Review of applications is typically accomplished by a tiered system, and is completed by: (1) Staff from the California State Office of Historic Preservation; (2) the California State Historical Resources Commission and (3) the National Park Service. Once a property is placed on the National Register, it is automatically listed on the State Register. D. Mills Act Program a. What is the Mills Act? Enacted in 1972, the Mills Act is state sponsored legislation granting local governments the authority to enter into an agreement with individual property owners to allow reduced property tax payments in exchange for the restoration and continued maintenance of their historic property. It is an economic incentive for property owners to preserve and maintain their buildings. As part of the agreement, a formal contract between the property owner and the City is required, thus resulting in a Mills Act Contract. Part of the contract includes a restoration plan, in which the property owner outlines planned improvements to the historic structure /property for ten (10) years following execution of the contract. Items included in restoration plan Page 9 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 may include items such as replacement of windows, refinishing tile work, repair of exterior stairs, etc. b. Mills Act Contracts in Saratoga On March 05, 2003, the City Council approved a Resolution establishing the City's participation in the Mills Act Program. By Council policy, only three (3) Mills Acts contracts can be approved in a single year. A structure must be a City of Saratoga Historic Land Mark as described in SMC §13 -15 to apply for the Mills Act Program. However, in an effort to expedite processing, the City allows applications for both landmark status and Mills Act contract to be filed simultaneously. C. Resources on the Mills Act For more information on the Mills Act, please consider reviewing the following sites: California Office of Historic Preservation: http://ohp.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page—id=21412 California Office of Historic Preservation Technical Assistance Series #12: http: / /ohp.parks.ca. gov /pages /1054 /files /ts12ca.pdf Page 10 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 IV. HISTORIC COMPLIANCE REVIEW Oftentimes an applicant and /or Staff will request that a proposed project be reviewed by HPC in order to ensure that the historic integrity of the structure will remain after the project is completed. This process is called historic compliance review. However, depending on the scope of work involved some projects may require the applicant to provide additional background information on the subject property. This information is typically conveyed through a DPR523 form or a historic report. A. DPR 523 Form A DPR 523 form typically provides information regarding the historic structure following a format developed by the US Department of Parks and Recreation. Usually in two pages, the form provides information regarding the owner, use, location, historic significance, and many times includes a photograph of the property. B. Historic Reports Historic reports contain detailed information regarding the historic significance of a structure. The report contains a description of a historic resource as well as information about its historical background and surrounding area. The evaluation is based on local (City of Saratoga), State (California Register), and Federal (National Register) criteria. A typical historic report contains the following features: • Introduction • Historical Background • Description of Historic Resource • Evaluation for Significance Impacts of Proposed Project • Possible Mitigation Measures Appendices including bibliography, photographs, and other resources Page 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 I. ABOUT THE SARATOGA HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION A. HPC Profile The Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) functions as an advisory commission to the City Council, the Planning Commission, and the agencies and departments of the City. The HPC works in conjunction with these entities to implement the City's Heritage Preservation Ordinance. The scope of the Commission includes property surveys within the boundaries of the City of Saratoga for the purpose of establishing an official inventory of heritage resources, as well as recommending to the City Council specific proposals for designation as an historic landmark, heritage lane, or historic district. B. Commission Mission Statement To provide guidance to the City of Saratoga in order to preserve and protect the heritage resources of the community. C. Commission Meeting Schedule Second Tuesday of every month, 8:30 a.m. at the Warner Hutton House D. Members The HPC is composed of seven (7) members. One (1) member is required to have nomination from the Saratoga Historical Foundation. Two (2) members are required to have training and experience in the field of construction. The other four (4) members are appointed for their demonstrable interest in historic preservation. Page 2 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 I1. CODES, STATUES, AND STANDARDS A. Local Governing Code — Chapter 13 of SMC Saratoga Municipal Code (SMC) Chapter 13 relates to historic preservation. This chapter contains information on the composition of HPC, powers and duties of the HPC, criteria to designate historic resources, districts, lanes, .etc. The Saratoga municipal code may be found at the following URL: hftp://www..bpcnet.com/codes/saratoga/. B. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a. What is CEQA? The California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, is a state statue enacted in 1970 that requires state and local agencies to identify significant environmental impacts of their actions. If and when significant environmental impacts are identified, mitigation measures should be enacted to acceptably reduce or eliminate the impact. b. How CEQA Affects Historic Preservation The City of Saratoga requires all project applicants to provide information regarding the age of the existing structure(s). Generally, structures are only considered cultural resources if they are at least fifty (50) years or older. Only in rare instances may a structure less than fifty (50) years old be considered historic. However, at a minimum the City requires evaluation of all structures older than fifty (50) years old. If staff believes a structure to be historic, an historic evaluation and /or review by the HPC may be required. If the structure is deemed significant, the proposed modifications or demolition of the property would be subject to evaluation under CEQA. CEQA states that an impact to an historic resource is an impact to the environment and therefore requires appropriate mitigation measures or adoption of overriding considerations prior to commencement of the project. CEQA §15331 allows the modification of the structure to be exempt from the CEQA process if it meets the Secretary of Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Properties. C. Secretary of Interior Standards The National Park Service has a wealth of information on their website ( http: / /www.cr.nps.gov /hps /tps /standards_guidelines.htm) regarding the Secretary of Interior Standards. Much of the below information was extrapolated from the website and is not intended to be comprehensive, but simply an overview. There are Standards for four (4) distinct, but interrelated, approaches to the treatment of historic properties: Page 3 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission (a) Preservation (c) Restoration (b) Rehabilitation (d) Reconstruction. May 2006 a. Preservation focuses on the maintenance and repair of existing historic materials and retention of a property's form as it has evolved over time. Protection and Stabilization have now been consolidated under this treatment. Standards for Preservation 1. A property will be used as it was historically used, or be given a new use that maximizes the retention of distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Where a treatment and use have not been identified, a property will be protected and, if necessary, stabilized until additional work may be undertaken. 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The replacement of intact or repairable historic materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Work needed to stabilize, consolidate, and conserve existing historic materials and features will be physically and visually compatible, identifiable upon close inspection, and properly documented for future research. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 6. The existing condition of historic features will be evaluated to determine the appropriate level of intervention needed. Where the severity of deterioration requires repair or limited replacement of a distinctive feature, the new material will match the old in composition, design, color, and texture. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. Page 4 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 b. Rehabilitation acknowledges the need to alter or add to a historic property to meet continuing or changing uses while retaining the property's historic character. Standards for Rehabilitation 1. A property will be used as it was historically used, or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will -be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and (where possible) materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. .8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. Page 5 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 C. Restoration depicts a property at a particular period of time in its history, while removing evidence of other periods. Standards for Restoration 1. A property will be used as it was historically used, or be given a new use that reflects the property's restoration period. 2. Materials and features from the restoration period will be retained and preserved. The removal of materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize the period will not be undertaken. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Work needed to stabilize, consolidate and conserve materials and features from the restoration period will be physically and visually compatible, identifiable upon close inspection, and properly documented for future research. 4. Materials, features, spaces, and finishes that characterize other historical periods will be documented prior to their alteration or removal. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the restoration period will be preserved. 6. Deteriorated features from the restoration period will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and (where possible) materials. 7. Replacement of missing features from the restoration period will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. A false sense of history shall not be created by adding features from other properties, conjectural features, or by combining features that never existed together historically. 8. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 9. Archeological resources affected by a project will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 10. Designs that were never executed historically will not be constructed. Page 6 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 d. Reconstruction re- creates vanished or non - surviving portions of a property for interpretive purposes. Standards for Reconstruction 1. Reconstruction will be used to depict vanished or non_ surviving portions of a property when documentary and physical evidence is available to permit accurate reconstruction with minimal conjecture, and such reconstruction is essential to the public understanding of the property. 2. Reconstruction of a landscape, building, structure, or object in its historic location will be preceded by a thorough archeological investigation to identify and evaluate those features and artifacts that are essential to an accurate reconstruction. If -such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 3. Reconstruction will include measures to preserve any remaining historic materials, features, and spatial relationships. 4. Reconstruction will be based on the accurate duplication of historic features and elements substantiated by documentary or physical evidence, rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different features from other historic properties. A reconstructed property will re- create the appearance of the non - surviving historic property in materials, design, color, and texture. 5. A reconstruction will be clearly identified as a contemporary re- creation. 6. Designs that were never implemented historically will not be constructed. Page 7 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission May 2006 III. INVENTORY, DESIGNATION, AND THE MILLS ACT A. Saratoga Heritage Resources Inventory The Saratoga Heritage Resources Inventory (HRI) is a list used by the City to identify properties of potential historic significance. The inventory also lists designated landmarks. However, it is important to note that it is not intended to be an exhaustive list of historic properties within the City. In order to be eligible for placement on the Saratoga HRI, a property must satisfy one 1 or more of the criteria listed in §13- 15.010" of the SMC. B. Local Designation and Programs a. Historic Landmarks, Heritage Lanes, and Historic Districts To be eligible for designation as a historic landmark, heritage lane, or a historic district in the City of Saratoga, a property must meet at least two 2 of the criteria listed in SMC §13- 15.010. Information on the procedural aspects of designation is also found in Chapter 13 of the SMC. An example how an application may be processed is outlined on page 9 of this document. b. Chapter 13 SMC: §13- 15.010 Criteria. This section of the code reads as follows (emphasis added): The Heritage Commission may recommend to the City Council designation of a proposal as 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.
