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.

Shweta Bhatt Assistant Planner City of Saratoga Planning Division 408.868.1266 SARATOGA FOOTHILL CLUB 20399 Park Place I am here today to represent the Saratoga Foothill Club which is beginning to develop a master plan for the restoration of its Arts and Crafts -style historic landmark building, de- signed in 1915 by Julia Morgan. Our goal is to preserve, enhance and restore the original design, while at the same time making the building functional and appealing for our meet- ings and rental activities. Before we move ahead to put time and money into an extensive plan, which I hope to bring before you at your next month's meeting, I want to be certain that the following are acceptable ideas...... We understand that the historic commission is concerned mainly with "exterior" changes. Firstly, we have had extensive water damage to the interior walls and ceiling. After many "repairs ", the time has come to consider the need for a new roof, and to know if we must use cedar again or can use a "composite "? (and, if so, must it look like wood ?) Secondly, are we OK to make some "decorative improvements" that aren't "original"? * Replacing rather than rebuilding the redwood doors * Installing "period" fixtures on both sides of the door frame. �* Putting two privacy gates on the property to discourage people wandering onto the patio, and provide more privacy for rental events. We understand that "interior" changes are not affected by our "historical status ", but have question about whether two of our proposed projects need to be Ok'd by you..... * In replacing the "acoustic" ceiling tiles (which were definitely not "period "), we would like to install "box beams" to make it easier to maintain the ceilings should future cracking occur. Question: can we add something decorative that was not there originally? * We need one "handicap - accessible" bathroom. I understand that, in itself, is not a problem. The question is whether we are able to alter the original wood paneled door opening in order to make it wide enough? Marykay Breitenbach, 867 -0961 June 13, 2006 storical Muwum raLopa Hi, 41- fit, n..we.�..rsw•.}' •. June 12, 2006 Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission Saratoga, California Dear Commission Members, This letter is written in response to the current discussion regarding a suitable tree to replace the heritage oak that fell in April of this year. At the same time, we want to make you aware of some ongoing discussions and grant opportunities that the Saratoga Historical Foundation is currently following. We request that the City delay the selection and installation of a replacement tree until the fall of this year. We make this request for two reasons: first, planned construction at the site should be completed by this time and second, the Museum is currently in discussions with a major donor for money to fund a comprehensive landscaping plan and plant materials. BACKGROUND: In 2004, the City of Saratoga contracted with a landscape architect to prepare a plan for the Historical Park. This plan was prepared very quickly in order to meet a very small window to apply for grant funding from Santa Clara County. This proposal also included funding for renovation of the McWilliams House. At the time of the application, there was a substantial misunderstanding about the project eligibility and the scope of the funding. The McWilliams House work has since been funded and the project will soon be underway; however, landscaping was not funded. Because of the haste and the misunderstanding, an elaborate and expensive landscaping proposal was prepared. In this haste the landscape architect had just one very short meeting with members of the Saratoga Historical Foundation. The result was a plan that does not reflect needs and limitations of the Museum and its operations, and which was met with the disapproval of Park neighbors. The Foundation and Museum are currently working to modify this proposal. Related to the City's landscaping plan, a representative of the Museum is also meeting with the Board of the Saratoga Horticultural Research Foundation (SHRF). This is a non -profit institution that originated in Saratoga and patented dozens of plants that are now used throughout California. This historically important group is now disbanding and its financial assets will be donated to the University of California at Davis. -2— June 12, 2006 The Saratoga Historical Foundation has made a proposal to SHRF, requesting funding to pay for suitable landscaping materials for the Historical Park. This donation will commemorate the tremendous contributions made to the landscaping industry by the Saratoga botanists of SHRF. SUMMARY: The Board of the Saratoga Historical Foundation is very mindful of the heritage of the Historical Park site. Members have expressed the desire for a comprehensive landscape plan that also considers the original landscaping of the Saratoga Village Library, recently added to the National Register of Historic Places. We have had preliminary discussions with members of the Friends of the Library and will work with that group to review a plan when it is available. We ask that the City delay selection of a replacement tree until construction is completed and until the meetings regarding the landscaping donation are resolved, and a thoughtful landscape plan is approved.

Commissioner Louden commented that the proposal was consistent with the architecture of the church and that the sound associated with the bells in the tower was out of the purview of the HPC. Commissioner Marra agreed. Commissioner Kellond commented that the structure could be better integrated into the architecture of the building but could support the project. Commissioner Gomersall likes the design and Commissioner Koepernik agreed. The HPC voted 7 -0 that the proposal would not have an adverse effect on Saratoga Avenue as a heritage lane. B. 9:00 a.m. Site visit — George Whalen Way (behind Saratoga Fire Station) — review naming the walkway after Mr. George Whalen — Site visit completed.

Commissioner Kellond commented that he did not see much significance in the existing structure. Commissioner Gomersall also thought a craftsman style home was more appropriate, but left it up to the owner for the new design. Commissioner Koepernik added that the site was fairly isolated and the house did not appear historic except for its age and that he could support the project as long as the stone walkways were not destroyed.

Attachments (1) Reduced set of proposed plans (2) Chronological report completed by Mr. Warren Heid Item III B JuneX, 2006 HPC Mtg f3 REPORT FOR HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION Page 1. FOR RESTORATION AND REMODELING OF THE RESIDENCE AT 19908 BELLA VISTA AVENUE, SARATOGA, CA This report is to provide the history of this residence since it was first.built and remodeled through the years. The property was originally part of a large country estate known as Rancho Bella Vista. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blaney were related to the Franklin Farwell family who had -been owners of this "rancho" since the 18501s. 1917 - After purchasing part of this estate Mr. and Mrs Charles Blaney engaged a well know San Francisco architect, Willis Polk, to design an Italian Villa and Carriage House to match. The construction took two (2) years with the Carri,age.House being finished in 1-919. Upon "the death of Mrs. Blaney, the property was willed to her sister, Mrs. Edith Kirkwood. 1940 - Mrs. Edith Kirkwood died and willed the estate to her two (2) children, Barbara and Robert. Robert Kirkwood, with his wife, Jean, and their children established the Villa as their home that year. They lived there until their children were grown and decided to subdivide their estate, with the Carriage House on the western parcel. 1953 - The Kirkwoods sold the parcel with the Carriage House to Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Stiles. They hired another San Francisco architect, Clifford Conley, to convert the Carriage House into their home and added a garage and other bedrooms with a connecting covered walk. 1960 - The Stiles sold the remodeled Carriage House to Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Sims. They hired Saratoga architect, Warren B. Heid, to first design a four (4) car garage adjacent to the existing garage and then remodel that garage into a_ bedroom wing. The covered walk was enclosed with a glass wall facing the front of the property. 1971 - The Sims required a new Kitchen with added Nook and Pantry. .This addition was designed and constructed by a close friend and contractor, Robert Dodge. Many of the windows throughout the home were changed to, aluminum to replace the original and aging wood windows and increased in size. 1982/1992 - During the,early years of the Heritage Preservation Commission this former Carriage House was considered as one of the Inventory of Historic Buildings. As still exists, this home did` not meet the required criteria because of the major changes to the original Italian Villa style. The original home at 20021 Bella Vista Avenue did qualify and was included in the Inventory. REPORT FOR HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION Page 2. FOR RESTORATION AND REMODELING OF THE RESIDENCE AT 19908 BELLA VISTA AVENUE, SARATOGA, CA 2006 - It is necessary for the Sims Family to sell their home. Even though the home was cared for, the normal aging process has taken over. The clay tile roof, installed in the 19601s, must be removed to remove and repair for dry wood termites and dry rot. Some of the exterior walls will also have to be repaired for the same problem of aging. The family, interested in purchasing and preserving this old home, require that the bedroom wing be converted from three (3) bedrooms to four (4) bedrooms. There will be some interior renovation to modernize the Kitchen and adjacent area. The existing area under that area will be enlarged within the exterior walls for a children's play area. Lastly the four (4) car garage, built in 1960, will have one (1) bay changed into a Guest Area. It is the intent of their architect, Jeanette Coran, to restore this home mainly within the existing exterior walls and to attempt to keep the flavor of an Italian Villa. Having been an original member of the Heritage Preservation Commission for eight (8) years it is my opinion that this home still does not qualify as a Heritage Resource. With care and careful remodeling it can remain as one of the City of Saratoga's handsome older residences. Wa en B.

Page 4 lO x� `O Saratoga Historical Foundation And Museum Presentation to Saratoga City Council June 21, 2006 We thank the City Council for its resolution guaranteeing the Saratoga Historical Foundation the use of the McWilliams House as a Museum, for working with us as we complete its renovation, and for including the Museum alarm and fire suppression systems in the CIP budget. In the last year the Saratoga Historical Foundation and Museum has: • Attracted over 900 visitors to the Museum • Presented 23 programs or events to an audience of over 1000 people • Engaged almost 300 elementary students with our "Saratoga Trunk" program • Supported over 90 advanced history students from Saratoga High School who have in turn given us over 450 volunteer hours • Enjoyed and benefited from the hundreds of volunteer hours given by members of SHF on behalf of the Museum and the community. Our treasured docents come from as far away as Palo Alto, Santa Cruz and Brentwood to give of their time to the Museum. Our website, www.saratogahistory.com, has had over 6,700 visitors from 19 countries, including those in Asia, Europe, So. America, and New Zealand since coming on -line last October. Our "Ask the Historian" forum has been particularly popular, as are the local history articles. How Can We Help the City and How Can the City Help Us? We have a strong desire to contribute to and support Saratoga's economy, community identity and ideals. Newcomers are attracted to Saratoga because of its outstanding school system and its cachet as a state historic district. One of Saratoga's strongest assets is her claim to be a "Historic Village" - the entire town is California State Landmark No. 435. Being a historic destination has paid off handsomely for other communities across America and we feel that this can play a larger role in Saratoga's economic future. Saratoga's economic viability depends heavily on its cultural identity. Because our only industry is our wineries, and our retail sales tax base is limited, Saratoga must develop its other assets. We believe that Saratoga's rich history is one of those assets and the Saratoga Historical Foundation and Museum sees itself as a focus for that history, and as such, is an important player in maintaining the economic vitality of the City. Our Concerns are: • Landscaping of the Historical Park — we are currently working on a comprehensive plan for presentation when completed. • Make effective use of the hillside area — this area will be part of landscape plan. • Parking space in the Historical Park continues to be an issue (although there are 10 spaces across the street at the fire station, with a thoughtful landscape design there could be more potential parking spaces next to the Museum within the Park). • Museum storage space has become even more critical (currently "borrowing" space at HSJ warehouse). Lack of space limits our ability to accept significant historical items. Perhaps a storage facility might be built on -site. • Funding issues — memberships, donations, and grants are our only source of funding. • Enhance the outreach to our Asian citizens for historical documentation and participation. We ask that the City Council continue to support our organization Look at and seriously consider our concerns; continue to work with us as partners in the management of this valuable community resource - the buildings and the City Park in which they are located, and especially support the members and volunteers who have continued in their efforts over the years to support and promote this valuable community resource. We invite you to come and visit us anytime. Our events are well - publicized and we would be delighted to see you at any of our functions and welcome your participation. For those of you who are not already members, we encourage you to become members of the Saratoga Historical Foundation. Join with us in helping to preserve our City's special and unique heritage. We thank the members of the City Council for again hosting this meeting and giving us the opportunity to tell you about the Saratoga Historical Foundation and Museum.

Our Mission Statement • To stimulate the interest of the public in the history of Saratoga and its environs. • To serve as a focus for the community identity by preserving those buildings, documents, and records that uniquely represent our colorful past. • To serve as a resource for scholarly, historical research, and to perpetuate the knowledge of Saratoga's history through educational programs for our youth. Our Vision • The Saratoga Historical Foundation, in partnership with the city of Saratoga, completes the development of the Historic Park, encompassing the "store" Museum, the McWilliams House, the Library /Book -Go- Round, and the hillside and garden areas. • The Historic Park serves as a gathering place for receptions and other events. • The Museum is a community focus for historic study and research, partnering with local schools, organizations, and other historical museums. • The Foundation coordinates with other historic sites and organizations to stage events with a historic focus within the City. • Our loyal membership provides financial support for its programs and administration. Our Services and Programs An outstanding Museum is known for two things: its collection and its programs. Museums in nearby communities do not have the artifacts that we have in our holdings. While nearby Museums such as Los Gatos, Campbell, Cupertino and Sunnyvale all have Museum programs, none of them have the significant collections or the resource materials similar to the Saratoga Museum. None of the other local Museums are committed to accommodating scholars and researchers. A critical component of our Strategic Plan is to build both community support and income through our educational programs. Three local museums, San Jose, Campbell and Los Altos, offer ongoing programs to students in the elementary grades. All three make a substantial amount of their income from these programs, which are usually so full that Saratoga students have little opportunity to participate. The Saratoga Museum has surveyed these programs and is developing similar educational experiences for local students using the McWilliams House. Our "Saratoga Trunk" program is designed for the 3rd and 4th grade levels with almost 300 students participating in this program. We plan to incorporate the McWilliams House into this program once the renovation of the House is completed.
