A. Report from the City Council/Heritage Preservation
Commission Joint Meeting
Vice Chair Koepernik reported to the Commission regarding the
Council discussion relating to the use and restoration of
Warner Hutton House. The City Council recognized once again
the historic value of the house. The Council authorized the
Heritage Preservation Commission to review the restoration
plans to ensure that they are compatible with the style and
architecture of the house. The Council also agreed to
consider allocating a budget each year to restore a different
portion of the house, until the entire house is completed.
The Commission requested that the preparation of the plans and
the work should be well coordinated with the various
departments involved in this project. A letter informing all
the departments regarding the review and approval procedure
will be prepared by staff for the Commission's review at the
next meeting.
Secretary Adar reported that the City Council agreed that a
high priority be given to the Saratoga Heritage book since
most of the work has been completed. However, staff needs to
review the Department's work program and reevaluate the time
schedule for this project.
The City Council directed the Commission to prepare a list of
suggested street names in the memory of soldiers who lost
their lives in past wars.
III. NBW BUSINESS
A. Preservation of Historic Ways and Sites
Commissioner Davis initiated this item and presented the
subject to the Commission. Davis suggested that in addition
to the heritage preservation resources which are on the
inventory, other places which have historic significance,
should be preserved in some form of designation. Examples of
such places are Quito Road, La Paloma Avenue and Oak Street,
the Quarry and Saratoga Springs sites. Davis also suggested
that a list of historic streets and sites should be created
or added to the existing inventory. The purpose of the list
is to identify heritage resources which should be protected.
Chair Artshes said that a list should be prepared by staff for
the Commission's review at the next meeting.
Davis said that a trail system connecting historic places and
open spaces should be considered as part of the Open Space
Element.
B. Review of Revised Plans of a Proposed Addition to
Bella Mia Restaurant - 14503 Big Basin Road
Assistant Planner George White presented the proposed revision
to the Heritage Preservation Commission. The proposal
complies with the Commission's directions to the applicant at
the 3/6/91 meeting. All the changes to the front and side
elevations were eliminated. The proposed addition was limited
to an enclosed staircase at the rear of the building, facing
the parking lot.
The Commission was satisfied with the proposed revisions and
moved to approve the proposal. The motion was approved
unanimously.
C. The Heritage Preservation Commission Work Program
The discussion of this item was continued to the next meeting
