As noted in the "planning commission video tape "; votes will be noted in a historical research guide, for the removal of this structure. The historical report checker will be noted, who checked and authorized this historical report documentation for this project; to be passed through Planning Commission, without a complete check of the deeds of trust. 1. Research shows in 1928 telephone directory, there was a telephone, installed at Derby Family residence on 14451 Oak; photos copies will be placed in Research guide for future historical preservation. 2. Research on this house to follow with the deeds of trust for this house; will be forwarded to city and Saratoga Historical Foundation; notes on who checked the historical write up will be published in another report. 3. The location of where lumber was milled for this home in Saratoga, the multicultural laborers that brought this lumber to Saratoga, and their material planners to bring this lumber into Saratoga is being researched for this building. 4. See Photos fo house: "new name given, because the decision to allow demolition was voted on Valentine's day 2007; the Valentine's Day RED Cutie, on 14451 Oak Place, Saratoga; requested by long time landlord, the Dukes, owners requested demolition for the sale to a speculator. Last item on the planning commission agenda, late in the evening on a family day, not many viewers reviewing meeting. 5. Require RECYCLE LUMBER for other Historical Homes in this valley. All redwood lumber from this house should be saved and recycled. There are Bay Area companies who save vintage redwood for repairing other historical homes, or a better idea, is to move this historical house. This should have been a requirement, for the house to be moved to a new location by the owner; instead of demolition. 6. PHOTOS, GPS Historical Guide reference and complete deed of trusts survey should be done at "very least effort for this historical house "! The current owner, who is acting for a speculator, should be required to "photo document the entire house ", inside and out; "photo the foundation "; and pay for "the deeds of trust search" to be reviewed by planning; and then have deeds "forwarded" to the Saratoga Historical Foundation of Saratoga. 7. YOUR participation in this removal of a historical home is noted in Saratoga's historical resources regarding historical homes. The historical nature of this district "The Street Car Suburbs Village green ", was depending on a civic commission to protect Saratoga's heritage. As noted in the "planning commission meeting video" votes will be noted in a historical research guide, for the removal of this structure, the historical report checker, who checked the historical report documentation for this project. PLEASE NOTE: The Saratoga Heritage Commission should appeal this decision and the elected City Council who was voted in "to be acting responsibly" to this Historical Heritage of this community, should also veto this decision. The Council should provide another review process and check documentation submitted, and should veto, this Heritage destruction- speculation in our city, by INCLUDING in THE "NEW GENERAL PLAN" Historical Districts with strict guidelines to be followed by planning department!. FUTURE OWNERS NOTE: The current owner has no intention to live on this property and the new owner, has put this long time resident up to the task of demolition permit, for their profit. The new owners should be held to task, and required not to profit from additional; UN- HISTORICAL permits" at Saratoga's loss! NO lot split, or other recommendations should be given, to the new owner, and all outside structure construction "should fit" the historical suburb "of the Village Green ". THE VILLAGE GREEN: Soon, there will not be "the green ", of this "Village Green" and this once small orchard at this Oak Place location; which has been noted by many generations for Saratogans living in this village! WE DO consider this red cutie/building historical! In this Village Green historical suburb area should be considered a historical district and BUYERS BEWARE, that new structures are not fitting in with neighborhood. When other structures "recently accepted" by planning department are, and were made as BAD decisions, when planning for the future of the Village Green! CITY COUNCIL and PLANNING, COMMISSIONS: REPLACE LIKE STRUCTURES, in a historical Village, it is "not difficult to plan" for our Historical Village. Yet your work, has effected generations of our heritage labor and structures, as it you authorize unacceptable new structures into our village, at the expense of the demolitions of our old structures. Cannel, California has a whaler's cottage, (with less structural integrity than our Valentine's Day Red Cutie), on the National register for consideration. In Palo Alto, a Julia Morgan was destroyed in 1996, because there was not a deed of trust and architectural review, by a historical and /or a West Coast architecturally educated civic planning department and commission. Saratoga seems to be having a Historical PROBLEM, with integrity and character, verses profit! Kathleen Casey 03/1S 10-7 +I.Pc M,T4.

Saratogans need to have ALL the Historical "REPORT CHECKED" and made a requirement for any HISTORICAL HOME. I want confirmation that this report was "CHECKED by the City "; if this CHECK has been done, the process needs to be DONE AGAIN; and it NEEDS TO BE DONE "Better "; and with more references, as noted in paragraphs below! I am setting in motion that the City's Saratoga Historical Preservation Commission SHALL review the historical report for 14451 Oak Place, done by Leslie Dill. I WANT, my presentation ON THE NEXT HPC AGENDA, with KSAR video tape rolling, or there will be private tape and submitted to City records! AGENDA ITEM, I am REQUESTING for my presentation to HPC, which will be on to City records; with all the HPC commission's vote on /for the HPC commission to appeal to the CITY COUNCIL, the decision by the Saratoga Planning Commission, on the demolition of 14451 Oak Place: I want to go on record, and present at the next HPC meeting as an agenda item, the facts that were uncovered, and the future historical research requirements for the owner to complete a historical UPDATE on this property. (which should be /will be paid by the new BUYER of this property.) I have proof from a Santa Clara County PAC Bell directory published 1928 Saratoga telephone listing that the 14451 Oak Place "The Valentine Day Red cutie" home, was located in that place, in Saratoga, in the year 1928! This makes Leslie Dill's HPC presentation report information, incorrect. I would also have the Saratoga HPC consult all the Tax Maps and receipts for Saratoga records on construction to the house, to be double checked via the Sanborn Insurance Company MAPS for that "Street car suburbs TRACK - now well known as the VILLAGE GREEN! ". All information to be checked by City planning dpeartment, and the Saratoga Heritage Foundation. I would like the ACTUAL STRUCTURE of the HOME's foundation on property to be viewed, to determine the type of foundation and "the age" of the redwood /lumber, with many HISTORICAL photos taken "in case this house is demolished "; and all copies of the original deeds of trust to be reviewed from county records. All these historical records can be stored at Saratoga Historical Foundation for future reference, to be used as reference on other historical homes in the area. TAKE NOTE on COMMENTS made during meeting by Saratoga's Planning Commission attitude towards the HISTORICAL DOWNTOWN - VILLAGE of Saratoga. Citing 28 FEB 2007 taped for the public on KSAR15 - Comments of Planning Commission during the meeting. During Approval of the minutes from Planning Commission meeting - for Valentine's Day, on 14 FEB 2007: REVISED COMMENTS; Regarding (The Valentine's Day RED CUTIE on) 14451 Oak Place; Rogers comments revised: "Some of these structures are just too old, run down, and NOT well suited to families ". ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? My comments to her are: There have been families living in these HISTORICAL homes for generations. I could find her a half dozen (or more homes) that are owned/rented by families; and Landlords have been collecting the MARKET RATE, for rentals on these homes, because they are located in the HISTORICAL VILLAGE of Saratoga! IT is UP to, and only determined by Saratogans' owners with, "The --------------- responsibility" as the owner to maintain older homes in the Saratoga community; or THEY should NOT BUY the houses in the first place! The Community will precede on the FACT THAT we have found an ERROR in Leslie Dill's HISTORICAL REPORT on Oak Place, and the fact this house was being rented out at market rent, almost every month of the year, since being rented, and it was being advertised rented in 2006 at market rate, and is well suited as a home! More Commissions comments on different subject: FUTURE OF OAK STREET as a HISTORICAL LANE and HISTORICAL DISTRICTS of Saratoga for THE NEW GENERAL PLAN! I would not use the word "IF "; Oak Street "is" HISTORCIAL, and "will be" designated as a historical lane! IT IS "WHEN" the designation process will be completed, "THIS IS A HISTORICAL LANE "; and this community is in the process of reporting this to the "STATE of CALIFORNIA ". THE question IS: What ARE "you, as in -a- Planning Department /HPC /Commission" doing and /or have done for this STREET to SAVE IT. The Oak Street neighborhood residents and other interested Village Saratogans are calling a meeting with residents, City officials and Saratoga School Board to be invited to "The NEIGHBORHOOD meeting ", and we ask the HPC commission, Heritage Foundation members to also attend, to determine for the NEW Saratoga GENERAL PLAN to include the OAK STREET as a HISTORICAL DESIGNATION. This meeting will happen before the NEW GENERAL PLAN is APPROVED BY the current CITY COUNCIL. This meeting has been an established goal, and will meet on 2007 March 15th. Saratoga Residents have been waiting since JULY 2006, on the city and school board to move forward with this process on OAK STREET as a HISTORICAL DESIGNATION; and the city offices have been stalling for various reasons, which will be determined, and the effect of process reviewed in this meeting.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL Item 2B MEETING DATE: lh1 *tGt,. 7, 2007 AGENDA ITEM: ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development CITY MANAGER: � PREPARED BY: John F. Livingstone, CDD DEPT HEAD: SUBJECT: Removal of Trees at the City's Historic Park located at 20450 Saratoga -Los Gatos Road RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: As directed by Council. REPORT SUMMARY: The Saratoga Historic Foundation plans to renovate the landscaping at the Historic Museum, McWilliams House and Book -Go -Round with new plantings that commemorate the historic uses of the site and the rich botanical history of Saratoga. In preparation for this, they met with Barrie Coate, who is a horticulturist and a certified arborist, and with the City Arborist to discuss the trees on the property. While most of the trees on the site enhance the property, oaks and redwoods in the center of the buildings are too crowded for good forestry practices and currently compete for sunlight, to the detriment of the oaks. Prior to proceeding with their landscape renovation design, the Historic Foundation wishes to remove some of the trees. PROJECT BACKGROUND: At the February 7, 2007 City Council meeting the Council voted to remove an oak tree located in the historic park that leans toward the library building identified as tree #5 on the attached map. At a subsequent joint meeting between the City Council and the Saratoga Historic Foundation the Council was asked to bring back the project to another council meeting for further discussion. DISCUSSION: On January 22, 2007, the Historic Preservation Commission recommended approving the removal of two redwoods at the Historic Park to the City Council, to improve growing conditions for the black oak and the valley oak. This will enable the Historic Foundation to proceed with their renovation of the landscape. The removed trees will be replaced with new trees that will screen the buildings and are compatible with the oaks. Landscape Concept The area in front of the Historic Museum and the McWilliams House will typify a garden from the Civil War era, including plants that Mrs. McWilliams was known to favor. The space in the ,f center of the three buildings will incorporate deciduous oaks, small trees, shrubs, perennials and groundcovers in a multi - layered landscape, replacing the current one of tall trees and ivy. Varieties of plants developed by local botanists specifically for the Saratoga microclimate will be incorporated into the new landscape. Also included in the landscape renovation is a new oak tree to replace the one that failed last summer at the Book -Go- Round. Once the design is completed, staff will bring it to the Historic Preservation Commission and the City Council for approval. Backp,round Information on the Oaks and Redwoods According to historians, the two oaks at the Historic Park were planted in the 1920's. About 30 years ago several redwoods were planted about ten feet apart, which is much too close for these species. As a result they compete with each other for sunlight. Now that the faster growing redwoods are taller than the oaks they have begun to shade them, causing limb dieback in the black oak. Redwoods have a dense evergreen canopy further contributing to the shady environment, and it will become increasingly difficult to grow plants under them. If two of the redwoods are removed, the oaks will perform better. Because oaks are deciduous and do not have as dense a canopy as redwoods, more light can filter through to plants growing underneath them creating an opportunity to have a more complex and attractive landscape. FISCAL IMPACTS: The Historic Foundation is coordinating the removal and replacement of the redwoods so that a licensed tree contractor will perform the work at no cost to the City. City parks staff and the City Arborist will monitor the work as it is completed. ALTERNATE ACTION: Do not remove any trees. The site will continue to become shadier and the redwoods and oaks will continue to be crowded. FOLLOW UP ACTIONS: Bring the final landscape design to the Historic Preservation Commission and City Council for approval. ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT: The agenda for this meeting has been properly posted. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Map showing locations of trees. 2 a c• 6.. ,J __.

Item 3A Subject Property Location: 20230 La Paloma Avenue, Saratoga, California Property APN: 397 -24 -003 Project Applicant: Mr. Chris Kinn Property Owner: Mr. Chris Kinn Project Description The applicant proposes to add approximately 600 square feet to an existing single family home at 20230 La Paloma Avenue. Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) Review The property is not listed on the City's Historic Resources Inventory list. However, due to the structure's apparent age and location on La Paloma Avenue (a street with several other historically significant properties), staff is requesting the HPC make a determination regarding the historic significance of the property /structure. The applicant has provided information on the project scope, property history, photographs of the structure, and a reduced plan set consisting of elevations and floor plans. Decision by HPC The following are three options available to the HPC in reviewing this proposal: Determine that the property /structure is not historically significant: If the Commission determines that the property /structure is not historically significant, the property /structure would not be listed on the Historic Resources Inventory. Proposed alterations would not be subject to HPC review. 2. Request additional information before determining whether or not the property /structure is historical: Require the applicant to have an historical assessment prepared by a qualified consultant to determine the historical significance of the property /structure and return to the HPC with his /her findings and recommendation regarding the proposal. HPC March 13, 2007 Meeting Project Address: 20230 La Paloma Avenue Project Applicant: Mr. Chris Kinn Determination of historic significance 3. Determine that the property /structure is historically significant and direct staff to place the structure on the historical list: If the Commission determines that the property /structure is historically significant: ' At least one (1) of the seven (7) criteria listed in the City code must be selected to reflect the reasons why the structure is significant. ' The HPC would need to determine that the proposed project either meets or does not meet the Secretary of Interior Standards (Standards) for historic properties. Suggestions to ensure compliance with the Standards may be provided. ' Staff would place the property on the Historic Resources Inventory and proposed future alterations to the structures would require HPC review and would be required to meet Standards for historic properties.

HPC March 13, 2007 Mtg. Item 3B Project Description The applicant proposes to add a three story commercial structure plus basement to the rear of the Sam Cloud Barn building which is currently under renovation. The applicant has requested that the Planning staff present the plans to the HPC, however staff has not yet provided design review comments on this plan set dated March 6, 2007. Background, Analysis and Designation Criteria The property is listed on the City's current Historic Resources Inventory list as resource # 77, the "Sam Cloud Hay and Feed Warehouse ". Warren B. Heid AIA -E has prepared a report on the compliance with the U.S. Department of the Interior Standards and a Historical Report on the Sam Cloud Hay and Feed Warehouse. These are attached for reference. Warren B. Heid is also the project architect. The architect has designed an office and retail addition that matches the original architectural style and uses similar materials. A glass feature has been added between the old and the new structure to differentiate the structure in accordance to the Secretary of the Interior standards. Staff is requesting a determination of the Historical Preservation Commission regarding the appropriateness of the addition. The following are two options available to the Commission in reviewing this proposal: 1. Determine that the addition is compatible and designed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior Standards: If the HPC determines that the addition is compatible with the existing structure and complies with the Secretary of the Interior Standards, staff would include the recommendation in the report to the Planning Commission. 2. Request changes to the design of the structure: Require the applicant to revise the plans for compatibility, with the existing structure or Secretary of the Interior Standards and ask the applicant to return to the Heritage Preservation Commission for additional review. f HPC March 13, 2007 Meeting Project Address: 20640 3`d Street Project Applicant: Sam Cloud Barn LLC Review of proposed addition to the Sam Cloud Hay and Feed Warehouse Attachments (1) Report on Compliance with the U.S. Department of Interior Standards (Received March 2, 2007) (2) Historical Report on the Addition to the Cloud Barn (Received March 2, 2007) (3) Plans (Received March 6, 2007) (4) Current DPR sheet Memorandum to the Saratoga Historic Preservation Commission Page 2 ADDITION TO THE SAM CLOUD BARN 3P-D STREET, SARATOGA, CA BY AWBREY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR STANDARDS Whenever an Owner adds to a Historic Building there are these standards that must be reviewed for the exterior features and materials. It is important that the Historic Building character. be preserved, however the addition must be compatible with the original structure. Preservationists generally agree that the history of a building and site, along the style of architecture, cannot remain static through the years. This is mainly due to change in ownership, change in use, and maintenance of the old building. When the subject of a new exterior addition is introduced, however, areas of agreement usually tend to diminish. I have found that this is understandable because the subject raises some serious questions. Can a historic building be enlarged for a new use without destroying what is historically significant? And just what is significant about each particular historic building that should be preserved? Finally, what new construction is appropriate for the old building? The Department of Interior Standards have many methods'�for .. additions. One of the most popular and successful methods to reduce historic damage a historic building is to link the new addition with a connecting area using a glazed connector. This connector addition should be a separate building with new walls and foundations, but is then connected physically with flashing and slip type thresholds at the floors. The new addition is visually and functionally related while the historic building remains essentially intact. The exterior materials can be the same as the historic building with this type of connector element. There are other methods to consider but as the architect for this project I chose this method of tying the addition to the Historic Barn. The front entry wall is glazed for two floors with the exception of the front door, which.is wood. A stairs, along with the elevator,. is required for exiting the 2nd Floor of the Barn. A balcony effect has been used from this exiting element, looking down to the Entry Floor. The ridges of the addition are riot as high as the Barn, which also reduces the connecting appearance. Certain features of the addition match the Historic Barn such as the windows. They are new and double glazed double hung wood to meet the Uniform Building Code requirements. The roofing again matches the Historic Barn, with corrugated metal material. Again like the Barn, it has a Class A roof under this material for code requirements. The Addition will compliment the rehabilitated Historic Barn in appearance, meeting the requirements of the U.S. Department of Interior Standards method of separation, and maintaining the ambiance of the Historic Village. Warren B. Heid AIA -E Architect Emeritus i HISTORICAL REPORT ON THE ADDITION TO THE CLOUD BARN The Barn was built by Samuel Cloud in 1894/1896 as part of the Cloud - Smith Store on Big Basin Way at 3rd Street. The store was a general merchandise store and the barn was first used as a stable, stage coach and buggy storage area, and a hay /feed loft. The stages were used by the Los Gatos /Saratoga /Congress Springs Stage Co. that met trains in Los Gatos and brought passengers to Saratoga and Congress Hall near the Congress Springs. Some of the final uses in the 1950's and 1960's included the Van Arsdale Fixit Shop, a TV repair sales /repair store, the Saratoga News, and Tiny's Print Shop. These last uses continued until the earthquake of 1989 when the building was damaged and stressed so badly that walls leaned. The owners attempted to rehabilitate it in the early 1990's but found it too expensive. The Barn was purchased in 2004 by J. Craig Awbrey, owner of Awbrey Development Co, and received approval from the Historical Preservation Commission and Planning Commission to rehabilitate it to maintain it's basic historic appearance, but also to meet current Building Code requirements. At present this rehabilitation is underway with the Barn to be occupied with Ordinance Approved Uses. The rehabilitating will maintain the original street level (the original stage storage area), the 2nd floor level (the original hay loft level) and the ground level (the original stable). A basement has been added to meet the Uniform Building Code requirements for foundations and will be used for occupant storage. The total square footage of the rehabilitated Barn is 7,120 sq,ft. including the basement. The Owner /developer of the Barn, having reviewed the Historic Village, has determined that there is a need for additional Ordinance Approved Uses. The Addition has been designed architecturally to compliment the historic Barn, but has been designed so that the appearance and separation meets the requirements of the Department of Interiors. The main ridge of the Addition is not the same as the Barn, however the required exiting of the Barn requires stairs and elevator at the 2nd floor level. The lower ridge is because of the requirement for the Addition to have a basement at the basic level of the ramp between parking levels for Parking District 1 for structural reasons. The street levels for the Barn and Addition are the same. The ground level is the same for both buildings with a sub - ground level at the Addition in line with the Barn basement. The Addition has a basement level due to grade problems and the foundation requirements. The Addition is a separate building with 6 inch clearance between it and the Barn. There will be separate foundations and frame walls between them with special thresholds at the floors and flashing at the wall siding and roof to keep the buildings weather - tight. The square footage of the Addition is 7,670 sq.ft.. including the basement and is almost the same size as the Historic Barn. Along with the need for more of this use in the Village the Addition will compliment the rehabilitated Historic Barn in appearance, maintaining the ambiance of the area, and bringing new people to The Village.
