SUBJECT: Proposed Covered Walkway Extension for the Saratoga Retirement
Community (Odd Fellows Home)
Property Location:
14500 Fruitvale Avenue, Saratoga, California
Property APN:
397 -12 -012
Project Applicant:
Saratoga Retirement Community
Property Owner:
Odd Fellows Home of California
Project Description
The Odd Fellows Home is a Mission Revival styled building that is on the Historic Resources
Inventory ( #27). Constructed in 1912, it has a stucco exterior with mission style roof tiles.
The Saratoga Retirement Community includes the historic Odd Fellows Building as well as other
buildings on the site including apartments, a fitness center, a health care building, and stand
alone cottages.
The dining room for the Saratoga Retirement Community is located in the Odd Fellows
Building. Primary access to the dining room for residents is from a door at the rear of the
building. To access this entrance, residents pass under a covered walkway before crossing the
outdoor dining court. The covered walkway is attached to the building but does not cover the
length of the dining court. During periods of precipitation, residents get wet as they walk across
the dining court and into the entrance of the dining room.
To provide additional shelter for residents during periods of precipitation, the applicant is
proposing to extend the covered walkway across the entire length of the dining court. This new
covered walkway will match the architectural materials of the existing covered walkway and will
include red concrete roof tiles and black painted steel support posts.
The project site is zoned R -1- 40,000 and the General Plan designation is RVLD (Residential
Very Low Density).
The following are two options available to the Commission in reviewing this proposal:
1. Determine that the proposed project is in accordance with the Secretary of the
Interior Standards and that it will not have an impact on the historic character of
Page 1 of 2

Project Address: 14500 Fruitvale Avenue
the structure: If the HPC determines that the extension of the existing covered walkway
will not have an impact on the historic character of the Odd Fellows Home structure, the
applicant may apply for required permits.
2. Request changes to proposed project: Require the applicant to revise the plans and ask
the applicant to return to the Heritage Preservation Commission for additional review.

This property was originally called Oakwood Farm. It was owned from
1880 -1906 by the Dexter family. It was purchased in 1906 by the Odd
Fellows for $16,500. The property was originally located on McCall
Road, now Fruitvale Avenue. The building was dedicated as a
retirement home on May 15, 1912. Its formal gardens were designed
by John McLaren, who was a member of the Odd Fellows. The property
also contains a barn and other outbuildings, some supposedly from
the original farm, which were used by the retirees to run a working
farm, helping to make the home self- sufficient. The infirmary was
built in 1958, and 78 new rooms were added in 1981.

M E M O R A N D U M
DATE: November 13, 2007
TO:. Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC)
FROM: Suzanne Thomas, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Determination of whether the existing home and property should remain on the
City's Historic Resources Inventory.
Property Location: 19161 Cox Avenue, Saratoga, California
Property APN: 386 -47 -035
Project Applicants: Pamela Parker
Property Owners: Pamela Parker and Helene Tikes
Project Summary
The applicant requests confirmation from the Historical Preservation Commission (HPC) of the
historical significance of the existing residence and property as part of an application to
subdivide the lot and to eventually make changes to the existing structures.
Historic Evaluation
The property is currently listed on the City's Historic Resources Inventory ( #20)'. It gained this
status due to the architectural style of the residence (1915 Craftsman) and the significance of its
builder (Joseph Cox). The adjacent orchard was not deemed historically significant. Before
seeking the services of an architectural historian to evaluate the property, the applicant wishes
for direction and confirmation that the subject property would be considered historic by current
standards.
Decision by HPC
The applicant is requesting a determination of the HPC regarding the historical significance of
the structure. The following are options available to the Commission in reviewing this proposal:
1. Determine that the structures and property are not historically significant: If the
Commission determines that the structures and property are not historically significant,
the property would be removed from the Historic Resources Inventory. The subdivision
application and any proposed future alterations would not be subject to HPC review.
2. Determine that the property and /or structures are historically significant and direct
staff to retain the property on the historical list: If the Commission determines that
the property and /or structures are 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.
Page 1 of 2
HPC November 13, 2007 Meeting
Project Address: 19161 Cox Avenue
• 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 retain the property on the Historic Resources Inventory and
proposed subdivision and any future alterations to the structures would
require HPC review and would be required to meet Standards for
historic properties.
The seven Criteria are as follows (City Code §13- 15.010):
(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
(f) 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.
3. Request additional information from the applicant: If the Commission determines the
need for additional information, it may direct the applicant to obtain the requested
documentation (e.g., a current evaluation conducted by an architectural historian) and
return to the Commission at a later date.

Historical significance: of o�vE °o MEND
COMM�N�
There is already historical significance listed for the house.
As far as the lot on the east side of the house, I would like to establish there
is no historical significance. William Cox originally planted wheat and hay
on the acres he farmed. In the mid 1880's prunes became the main orchard
crop and there was even a large prune that was propagated by William's son
Joseph, called the Cox Double X.
Eventually, I don't have a date, apricots were also added, although most of
the crop consisted of prunes.
In my 58 years, I recall mostly walnut and persimmon trees on the lot on the
east side of the house. There may be one or two apricot and prune trees as
well.
I remember many summers, driving with my grandfather, Ed Cox through
the apricot orchards that started in the back of the house and the prunes
orchards that were to the west and south. The lot on the east was never part
of the orchards that were farmed by the Cox family.

Briefly state historical
and /or architectural importance
(include dates,
events, and persons
associated with the site).
This house was built in 1915 by Joseph Cox, son of William Cox, a
pioneer farmer /rancher in Saratoga. William Cox was born in Ohio in
1827, moved to Iowa in 1846 and married Miss Dicey Baggs there in 1848.
The Cox family came to the Santa Clara Valley by covered wagon in 1852.
William began in farming as a hired hand, then rented a piece of land
and put in his own crop, and finally bought 70 acres in the Saratoga
area in 1874. He ultimately owned 315 acres, all under cultivation and
known locally as the Dicey Cox Subdivision. The property was divided
and given to his six children. William's son, Joseph, built this
bungalow for his son Lloyd and his wife, who moved away and passed the.
property to a brother, Edwin Cox. Edwin lived in the house with his
wife, Helen, until his death in 1977; Mrs. Cox continues to live there.

Dear Mrs. Cox:
The Saratoga Heritage Preservation
completed a comprehensive Inventory o
community. We are pleased to notify
19161 Cox Avenue meets the criteria
list.
COUNCIL MEMBERS:

Commission has recently
f historic resources in our
you that your residence at
for being included on this
The purpose of the Heritage Resource Inventory is to establish a
list of documented historic properties in Saratoga. The Heritage
Preservation Commission was assigned the responsibility for
preparing the Inventory by the City Council in 1982. Each
property on the list has been identified as reflecting and being a
part of the unique history of Saratoga. The Inventory has been
prepared in accordance with guidelines established by the State
Office of Historic Preservation, with data gathered from a
variety of sources, including historic documents and books,
interviews with local citizens, and existing county and state
inventories that contain information on Saratoga properties.
Being listed on the Inventory does not carry any form of special
requirements or restrictions affecting the use, improvement,
alteration or even the demolition of your property. As an
Inventory property, however, you will be able to make use of the
State Historic Building Code, an alternative set of building
regulations that are intended to facilitate the rehabilitation and
preservation of historic buildings. In addition, your property
may qualify for designation as.a Saratoga Heritage Landmark, a
special category of outstanding and exemplary historic properties
that are identified in the community by a handsome bronze plaque.
We have enclosed the entire Inventory list and the individual
Inventory form for your property, which gives information about
the building, the property and its history. We would appreciate
your review of this form to let us know if there are any changes
or additions to the form you wish to include. We also anticipate
that there are additional historic resources in the community that
we may have overlooked or have not fully documented yet; if you
know of any that are not on the list, please let us know.
If you have any questions,
through Valerie Young, our
One of the Commissioners will

Sincerely,
please direct them to the Commission
staff person at City Hall (867- 3438).

An aptly named rnad in the Saratoga area is
Cox avenue, so- called nit .iirst, for the first man to
cut wagon tracks west from Quito road, but for his
arge family that farmed the area for more than
X100 years.
William Cox and his wife. Dicey, had nine
ichildren, most of whom married and settled down
�n the area, raising prunes and kids along Cox
avenue.
�"I was five years old before I knew for sure
ine;tenths .of the people in the world weren't
amd Cox," laughs county public information
6fficer Dick Cox, great - grandson of the founder of
the big family.
t "We lived on a piece of Cox land until 1 was
five and except. for some cousins named Breeding,
i,nysl, Wells, Walter, Stamper or Rowe, all the
eople 1 knew were Coxes."
The founders of this large family came
verland from Iowa in 1852, traveling in a
Lour -wagon train in which were William's sister
1-;erena, newly married to Samuel A. Blythe who
zilready had made a trip to California and bought
F
land on the Saratoga road.
William and Dicey had to borrow money en
route to pay for ferrying their wagon across
�jarious rivers, and so when they arrived in Santa
Q'lara Valley they worked at whatever jobs they
could find to pay back the loan.
In 1353 1t'rllram rented land from his brother -
in -lam- Sl' -the, who later became a grain merchant
in San .lose, and the following year bought 300
af:res across the creek from the Blythe farm.
William's eldest son. John, later bought 150 acres
south of his l'ather's land.
Wheat and hay were the main crops until the
mid -1880s when the era of the orchards was born.
Prunes were the main orchard crop for the Cox
tribe, including a variety called the Cox Double X,
a large specialty prune propagated by William's
son, Joseph.
Several hf William's sons a n d daughters
married neighhors ... John wed Almeda Morri-
son, daughter of a blacksmith and wheelwright,
who settled at the crossroads called Guhserville
north of the, Rlvihe place; George married Emma
Walter and his sister Mare Jane became the wife
of her brother, Henr }y C. 'falter, whose farm was
on Cox avenue; Marie married Andrew Lovst
whose ranch was on Pierce road.
Two of the Cox boys took time out from their
farm chores to hold public office. Jacob was a
deputy count- clerk and Joseph was deputy county
assessor.
Today there are still descendants of William
and Dicey Cox living in Saratoga, some of them on
Cox avenue.
SIGN
Longtime resident recalls a and rustic Sara&-.,)ga
By John A. Breeding
Special to the Saratoga News
William and Dicey Baggs Cox came
from Iowa_ .across the plains by wagon
pulled by oxen. It took six months to
come from Iowa with the oxen making
twenty to twenty -five miles per day as a
limit.
They came down the Humboldt
River in Nevada to present day Mar-
kleville and up the Carson River to Car-
son Pass at 8200 feet. The pass is about
100 feet wide between two rock piles-
thirty-five feet high on each side.
It is beautiful country with Ponderosa
pines everywhere. From there they went
to Stockton, then around the south end
of San Francisco Bay to San Jose which
my mother said had 5000 inhabitants.
In the winter the streets were just
tracks of mud. They bought 800 acres
of chaparral covered land — 400 acres
for their oldest son, John, and 400 acres
for themselves. My mother told me they
had to follow the sloughs that were
made by the flooding of Saratoga
Creek. The area had lots of bear, deer;
and wild cattle.
The property started at present day
Cox Avenue running west two miles
and two miles north. They paid 20 dol-
lars per acre for it. Two years later they
learned they paid the wrong Spaniard
for it and had to pay 20 dollars again.
To clear the land the chaparral was
rolled .down and burned. The large
rocks were picked. 'up . and put on the
fence lines which were built to keep the
cattle out. Then the land was planted
with wheat and barley. .
In the late 1800's the Pellier Brothers
came from France and bought 40 acres
on present day Phillips Avenue off
Payne Avenue. The weather was just
like. France. where they had come from.
One of the brothers went back to France
and brought back French prune grafting
wood which was stored in potatoes.to
keep the wood from drying out.
There were lots of wild plums grow-
ing in the vicinity so they started a
nursery. They grafted the French prune
wood to the wild plum stock.
William Coz planted 200 acres of
French prunes on the southeast side of
Cox Avenue from the Saratoga Creek
north two miles. William and Dicey
Cox had seven children including John,
Jake, Mary Jane, George, Joe, Lafayette,
and Maria Cox Loyst, my grandmother.
She married Andrew Loyst who came
from Ottawa, Canada.
Andrew bought 60 acres of hill land
Mabel.
William Cox died in 1902. My
brother Lester was born that year. I was
born in 1903, my brother Wilgus in
1905, and my sister, Ftho in 1910.
Dicey Cox died' in 1910 and the
ranch was divided among the children.
Joe Cox got 40 acres. He had five chil-
dren. They were Lloyd, Ruby, Leslie,
who worked for the county road depart-
ment and Ed who ran the ranch after his
father died.

ning west two miles and two miles north. They paid 20

on Pierce Road. They had four children
— William, George, Bertha, who died
when she was one - year-old, and my
mother, Mabel. My grandmother, Maria,
died when she was 38- years -old. She
had to carry water to wash the clothes
for the family from a spring about
60yards south of the house and she
caught- pneumonia and died of . con-
sumption.
Grandad told my mother that when
Grover Cleveland was running for presi-
dent of the United States he wanted to
vote so he walked across the mountains
to Saratoga. He took a shotgun with
him as Saratoga was Democrat and he
was a Republican. My mother was 12-
years -old when her mother died so she
went to live with her grandparents. My
grandfather later married Clara Karst
from- Placerville.
In the late 1800s my father, J.W.
Breeding came from Beattiville, Ken-
tucky. He worked for my great grand-
parents and in 1901 married my mother
Ed also had an automobile repair
shop on the ranch. George Cox got 20
acres on.Cox Avenue and another 20 on
Saratoga Avenue. George had one son,
Ivan. Mary Jane Cox Walters got 20
acres on Cox Avenue and 20 acres on
Saratoga Avenue. The old home she
moved into had two rows of large cy-
press trees running back to the creek
one quarter mile to the old two -story
house her family lived in.
The Morrison family had come to
California with the William ,Coxes. He
was a carpentar who built. a two-story
house on the 20 acres Mary Jane Cox
received that were on Cox Avenue.
Jake Cox who worked in the Santa
Clara County recorders office got 30
acres on the west side of Cox Avenue
and 20. acres on the east side of Cox
Avenue.. He had a daughter, Ethel, by
his first wife. Harry Gordon, his stepson
ran the ranch for him and at his death
all but 10 acres which went to his
daughter were inherited by Harry.
Two years later Joe Cox bought the
land. My mother, Mabel and her two
brothers, Bill and George got 20 acres
on the- east side of Cox Avenue and 30
acres on the west side of Cox Avenue.
My dad planted it with apricots, Muir
peaches, and French prunes. Lafayette
(Bud) Cox had four children — Helen,
Glenn, Dalton, and Margarite. John
Cox, the oldest son had five children —
John, Clara, Willis, Cora and Frank.
When the property was sold for
$i+,4 A per acre in 1953 for subdivi-
sion it became homes.
Southeast of the Cox property on
both sides of Saratoga Avenue to Quito
Road a man named Smith owned 640
acres. He owned borax mines in Death
Valley. They hauled the borax out to
Barstow with 20 -mule teams. He built a
dam on the Saratoga Creek 500 feet east
of Cox Avenue to irrigate his property.
He had cherries, prunes, walnuts, and
about two acres of navel oranges and a
large packing building where he packed
all the fruit. Frank Abernathy was the
foreman of the ranch.
In 1989 Hubbard and Carmichael
built a mill on Oil Creek in the Santa
Cruz Mountains. The redwood timber
was hauled to San Jose with the teams
of Clydesdale horses. Some of the
teams had five horses controlled by one
jerk line on the fifth horse. Bells were
on the top of the collars. They could be
heard for miles in the mountains.
I was born in 1903 and raised on
Cox Avenue. There was no bridge
across Saratoga Creek until about 1905
when the Cox's and my father built it.
We had no electricity until 1915.
When I was five or six -years -old we
always had a small sack of beef and
deer jerkey and us kids always carried
some in our pockets..I worked for Wal-
ter Seagraves when I was 17- years -old.
He had two teams — a four -horse team
and a five -horse team. I got to drive a
four -horse team. The wheel team

weighed 1800 pounds each and the lead
horse about .1600 pounds, Walter told
me that he paid $500 per head for them.
My mother told me that Saratoga had
Tom Smith's grocery store, fourteen sa-
loons, and two redlight houses.
Robert Hogg, my grandmother's
brother was a medical doctor in Sarato=
ga. Elbert Stamper, my grandmother's
sister's 'son was Constable for years in
Saratoga. He married Clara Cox;--John
Cox's daughter. Steve Williams, son of
another of my grandmother's sister's
had 140 acres of prunes and pears. He
owned one - quarter block of buildings
on the corner of Fourth and San
Fernando Streets in San Jose. He
bought $10,000 dollars worth of stock
in John Bean,Manufactunng Company,
now Food Machinery.
The stock paid seven percent interest
when John Bean changed the name and
went public. They wanted to pay him
five percent He told me, I picked pears
for him in no way was he going to loan
money at five percent, so his stock was
worth $60,000 then. When he died his
wife' Fannie leased out the land for .
about 10 years. When she died; she left
the property to Dominic DeFore.
Steve Williams couldn't read or write.
-- only made an X on his checks. He
said he never danced because his right
leg had religion.. They had no children.
He would stop at our place when . Les,
my brother; and I: were.'four 'or" five -
years -old and play real rough with us.
He would. tickle our ribs and we. would .
have. a. great time. He *drove* a team of
horses on a big high wagon. When my
brothers and I bought 15 acres that my
uncle Will had lost, I -went to him and
he loaned us $3600 to buy it
In 1922 Santa Clara Valley and, I
guess, the whole state had five inches of .
rain the fast of September and spoiled
all the prunes. Lots of ranches were
lost . Steve Williams bought 30 acres of
prunes - that year. for $6000. The next
year the prunes went to 16 cents base
price and he more than paid for it My
Grandad told my mother
that when Grover. Cleveland
was running for president
of the United States: he
wanted to vote so he walked
across the mountains to Sa-
ratoga. He took a shotgun
with him as Saratoga was
Democrat and he was Re-
publican.
folks saved only ninety 50 -pound boxes
— two and one half tons of ripe prunes.
Growers with dry trays were all right,
but if the trays were wet they lost them.
George Cox had a two-acre dry yard
full. He built fines under the trays and
the prunes still molded. Ernest Rancon,
a gentleman farmer lost 120 acres of
large prune trees and 10 acres of apricot
trees, I was 19 at the time. Pucker and
Company handled the foreclosure: The
man from Pucker came to. our place and
asked us if we would ridge the apricots
up so they could irrigate. Mom had a
Ford tractor with grossers on the wheels
and a John Deere plow which had an at-
tachment. to. bolt on to make it a ridger.
I put on as many, sacks; of dirt to
weight it down and went over the ridges
about 10 tunes as the ground was very
hard. The well had gone bad and he had
it fixed. When he came to pay for the
ridging the man from Pucker said to
me, "Why don't you buy the ranch
$200 per acre, no money down, and pay
the interest if you can. If you can't
we'll wait. Next year will be good
again."
I knew how to take care of the place,
but I had no money.
In the 1950s all the land I have
talked about was sold for development
— subdivisions.
John A Breeding is a fourth genera-
tion member of the William and Dicey
Baggs Cox family.

Glenbrook, was a hayfield

The Barthold place now known as
owned by Jim Spangler. This place
the Cox family property.
The patriarch of the Cox family was William, who, with his
wife Dicey Baggs, had come across the wide open plains in 1852.
Among the items Dicey brought across the plains was a small
yellow double bush rose, extremely thorny. Its descendants
are still growing in Saratoga Gardens. After arriving in
California he worked as a farm hand, finally purchasing 315
acres of land. This land I have mentioned, with the exception
of about 12 acres, a part of which is now owned by the San Jose
Water Works as a reservior site, and a small piece of creek
frontage sold to the Sorosis Ranch, is still owned by his
descendants and others who are related by marriage.
The first district memories I have of William Cox and his
wife Dicey are gathered from my attendance at their Golden
Wedding celebration in 1898. At that time I was a boyhood
friend of two of their grandsons, W. W. and George G. Loyst.
Grandfather Cox was an ardent Democrat, consequently a great
admirer of M1liam Jennings Bryan and was not one bit backward
in telling she world about it. Mrs. Cox showed us a gold watch
she had received as an anniversary present. She made the remark
that a gold yatch was something she had wished for all her life
and now, or, her Golden Wedding, sha had that wish gratified. They
had eight children; John, Jacob, George, Joseph, I-aFayette,
Maria, Mary Jane and William. The latter I never knew, he
having died before I made my acquaintance with the. family.
Wm. Cox did a wonderful thing for his family. In the late
eighties he and his sons raised enough prune trees to plant over
160 acres of land. He then deeded to each member of his family
twenty acres of some of the best planted prune acreage in the
Santa Clara Valley. Upon his death several years afterward, his
remaining land was also pro -rated fairly to his children and
grandchildren. I have known six generations of the William and
Dicey Cox family, and only four generations of direct descendants
are now living on the original acreage.
In 1898 Grandpa and Mrs. Wm. Cox celebrated their Golden
Wedding Anniversary. Among the anniversary gifts was a gold
cup from a firm of Dried Fruit Handlers known as Howard and
St. George. hater that year William Cox sold his prunes tL
that firm. Howard and St. George s eculated on the market, lost
and failed to the extent of some $600,000 -- the Coxes had not
been paid for the $16,000 prune deliveries. The Union Savings
Bank of San Jose had been financially backing Howard and St. George.
The failure of the latter caused the bank to close as well. The
William Cox money was in Union Savings, as were large numbers of
other peoples, mine included.

(With all HPC Meetings and adhocs for the Village, and meeting materials on- line!)
The last two years of meetings with HPC have achieved very little, with the exception of a "two year
agenda" on the HPC signage issue; and (thank goodness) the OLD Library has finally been put onto the
National Registry.
PLEASE, Start to "push through" the Oak Street Heritage lane issue at HPC meetings!
Oak Street: As a heritage lane has been on all the HPC meeting agendas for the
last 2 years; or is it 1+ years; either way, it is a long time, I will look on my records, or assist you in
anyway I can.
Oak Street as Heritage Lane issue is definitely an over -due issue at the HPC LEVEL.
Oak Street was the second street in Saratoga to be put on "the FIRST Saratoga map ",
this is second to Lumber Street (Big Basin). Oak Street has currently over 4 historical sites on it, and it
does "fit the bill" better than Austin Way as a historical lane!
I do believe that, due to the Oak street "traffic safety issues" at the CIP portion of the NOV 7 2007 city
council meeting, where citizens clearly spoke -up "ABOUT not being invited to discuss traffic changes
or issues ", that a neighborhood meeting is in order, now, not later.
This would be a good time to start booking the meeting date, with Saratoga Oak Street School
about two issues SAFETY and HISTORICAL: the Saratoga Oak Street elementary School, who also
said, that they would meet with neighbors in the Komina & Oak Street area about a historical lane, long
ago, are over -due. Clearly, the school should have invited Neighbors to discuss these issues, before the
school year started.
One issue that is "MY FAVORITE" is to keep citizens informed, and do it via internet for the working
class, and the elders with class, but can not get out at night!
Thank you again,
Kathleen Casey

Christopher,
Thank you for your reply,
PLEASE Take a look a city's WEB CALENDAR..... it said
today there was an HPC Commission MTG!
I would like to alert you, that there was an
HPC Meeting is on the CITY's WEB CALENDAR FOR TODAY,
November 6th!?
I was there this morning, I had already made plans to
be there at the city offices, so no sweat this time.
Though,
All administration staff was at the FIRE station, AND
THERE WAS A TEMPORARY PERSON THERE .... but I did get
some information from the planning counter.
The City's WEB calendar has been wrong so many times,
I am not sure why I, or anyone, would belief the
information on it, but there it was, an HPC MEETING
today!
THE CITY WEB SITE is the place where a citizen should
see every City council, Planning commissions meetings,
all commission meetings, STUDY SESSION and ALL ADHOC
meetings posted!
Anyway, I suppose if I looked right now, I would be
able to find next week's HPC Tuesday meeting agenda
on -line! I will go look for it now.
Thanks,
Kathleen

B. Discuss Heritage Orchard Signage — Chair Koepernik stated that the City
Council was receptive to the design of the Orchard Sign and that the next
step was that it was to be reviewed by the Library Commission. Chair
Koepernik stated the importance of getting samples of the stone and the
letters for the upcoming meetings with the Library Commission as well as the
City Council. Vice Chair Kellond stated that he would contact the Montalvo-
Monte Sereno Foundation for possible available funds to help offset the cost
of installing the sign.
C. Discuss Historic Incentives — Not discussed.
D. Discuss Mustard Walk — Vice Chair Kellond stated that it was important to
establish a name for the event. Commissioner McCarty stated that the word
"walk" suggested that the event featured an organized group walk.
Commissioner Louden suggested that the best name for the event should be
Mustard Festival. Chair Koepernik said that one of his goals was to some day
have the event associated with an organized walk or run and that he was
agreeable to calling it the Mustard Festival for the time being. Vice Chair
Kellond suggested that the event could be called the Heritage Orchard
Festival. Chair Koepernik suggested that the Commission should think of new
names for the event. and that he was agreeable to using the word Festival for
now. Vice Chair Kellond reported that he had spoken to a representative at
Pelican Signs for the construction of Parking Signs and that a two color sign
of both yellow and black would cost between $35 -45 each and that it was
important for both himself and Commissioner Marra to pay a visit to the sign
shop. Chair Koepernik stated the importance of meeting with Nancy Anderson
(Festival Organizer). Commissioner Tai said that it was too late to organize an
art competition for this year and that she would try again for next year but that
she would like to have a booth that provided a link to the Chinese New Year
that would feature Chinese crafts and art. Chair Koepernik reminded the
Commission that there has to be a back up plan in case it rains the day of the
event.
E. Discuss Sign for McWilliams House — Not discussed.
F. Discuss Orchard Pathway — Item discussed. Associate Engineers Harvancik
reported to the Commission that Public Works had received three proposals

the use of "bender board" that would help define the path and which would
not be in impact to Matt Ivancovich. Commissioner Gommersall asked if the
paths would become muddy when it rains and Associate Engineer Harvancik
said that they would. Vice Chair suggested that Matt Ivancovich should be
asked whether he would like to construct the paths since he is the contractor
for the orchard. Motion by Vice Chair Kellond and Seconded by
Commissioner Gommersall that Matt Ivancovich should be contacted to
determine if he is interested in constructing the paths

eventually be sold and that it would be up to the future new owner to renovate
the house. Commissioner Marra stated that the adjoining property was not
historically significant but that the house was historic. Motion to approve by
Commissioner Marra with the comments that the existing house is historic
and a value to the City, it is associated with an original pioneering family and
residents of Saratoga and that the adjacent property with the orchard. should

DATE: December 11, 2007
TO: Heritage Preservation Commission
FROM: Heather Bradley, Contract Planner
SUBJECT: Residential Addition to 15081 Pepper Lane
Property Location: 15081 Pepper Lane, Saratoga, California
Property APN: 510 -01 -046
Project Applicant/Owner: David & Anne Neale
Project Description
The applicant proposes to add 967 square feet to the rear of the existing 2,262 square foot residence.
No changes will be made to the front elevation and the addition has been designed to match the
simplified French Eclectic architectural style. The original residence was built in 1940. No historical
evaluation has been prepared for the property. The Planning Commission approved a pool house and
garage addition in 2002.
This is `an Administrative Design Review application sul'ject to the review and approval of the
Planning Staff. Due to the age and architectural style d the residence Staff determined that the
Heritage Preservation Commission should review the application for the appropriateness of the
addition.
Background, Analysis and Designation Criteria
The property is not listed on the City's Historic Resources Inventory list. The applicant is not
requesting addition to the list.
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 architecturally compatible with the existing
residence.
2. Request changes or additional information: Require the applicant to prepare a
Historical Evaluation. Depending on the outcome of the Evaluation the applicant may
need to revise the plans for consistency with the Secretary of the Interior Standards.
The Historical Evaluation and any revised plans would be reviewed at a subsequent
Heritage Preservation Commission meeting.
