Pollard was an important person in early Saratoga - a minister, school teacher and orchardist. Along with William Rice, another orchardist, and the Disciples of Christ, Rev. Pollard established the local Christian Church in 1878. Within two years, it had its own building on Lumber Street (now Big Basin Way), just beyond the Clef House building. Pollard and Rice also amazed local citizens by planting some of the first orchards in Saratoga in 1876; they planted an uncommon fruit at the time, the French prune. This house was the original farmhouse for the 40 -acre ranch. The property is now less than 2 acres and is surrounded by newer subdivisions. 20.

G r, sour grapes -:b �y were removed EDITOR: It would appear that not all of the "sour grapes" were removed from the produce shelves in time, judg- ing by the tone of Mrs. Espeseth's letter of attack against the Planning Commission. Having been denied permission to subdivide their newly acquired 100 -year old home — situated on one and a half acres —into three homesites, Mrs. Espeseth decided not to take "No" for an answer without publicly denouncing ev- eryone who stood in their way. She demands, "Who dictated their decision before we had a chance to be heard fairly?" The Planning Commission does not deserve this in- sult. The Merrick Estate is not only worthy of preserv- ing because of its beauty and historic value, it also has a configuration not condusive to subdividing unless one were to destroy the original home or encroach upon all neighboring homes. z Mr. Espeseth described his plan at the open meet- ing, followed by his architect with a visual pre- sentation. Then neighbors were allowed three minutes each to voice their feelings. His wife says, "not one option was heard." Options were mentioned, but they were refused. She asks,`�When does a builder have the right to be fairly heard in this town ?" Look around you, Mrs. Espeseth. The builders in our town have of- ten gotten away with architectural murder. The Planning Commission should not be castigated for making a decision that displeased the Espeseths; they should be praised for their thoughtful and con- cerned analyses. These Commission members are our neighbors who volunteer their time and talent in an ef- fort to try to preserve the harmony, heritage, spirit and value of our city land. In order to fully appreciate their jobs, we should all attend•at'least one Planning' Commission meeting. They :put a great deal of time, energy and thought -into the proposals - put before them. They investigate; inspect sites and check re- ports. They may not catch every disastrous plan—as a drive down certain streets can attest —but they try. The Espeseth's mistake was not in "sharing our plans with our neighbors." Their mistake was in not doing their homework before buying the Merrick Es- tate and determining whether their subdivision plans were appropriate and acceptable by the city. Then ev- eryone would have been spared a lot of grief. Anne M. Sorden Skad�w__Oaks�Way 3 -81 Planning commission, director didn't listen EDITOR: Recently at the city planning commission, I wit- nessed the residence of Merrick Villa defending "their" estate before the planning commission. There is one problem with their closed minds to change and that is that they enjoy this park -like setting at the ex- pense of the estate's owner. The planning director's ears were closed the day our plans were presented to him in his office. The planning commission's minds (minus one present member) were made up before they entered the hear- ing. My question is: "Who dictated their decision be- fore we had a chance to be heard fairly with all possi- ble revisions presented ?" Not one option was heard. These are legal lots with no variances. When does a builder (who made it possible for all these villas) have the right to be fairly heard in this town? Our mistake was foolishlv sharing our plans with our neighbors so that they could get to the commis- sion before a complete review of the alternatives were presented.

CALIFORNIA 95070 (408) 867 -34:38 Mr. and Mrs. Philip Blumenthal 20271 Merrick Drive Saratoga, CA 95070 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Blumenthal: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Karen Anderson Martha Clevenger Joyce Hlava David Moyles Donald Peterson The Saratoga Heritage Preservation Commission has recently completed a comprehensive Inventory of historic resources in our community. We are pleased to notify you that your residence at 20271 Merrick Drive meets the criteria for being included on this list. 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 restrictiorts 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 questio through Valerie Young, One of the Commissioners the Inventory and answer Sincerely, ns, please direct them to the our staff person•at City Hall will be happy to meet with you any questions you may have.

According to the plan- ning commission, the planning department exceeded their administrative authority by ap- proving such a "major" modification, City Manager Harry Peacock said.

WILLIAAM D. POLLARD was born in P Spencer, Owen County, Indiana, April 12, IS40. ^` His father, Uriah Pollard, was a native of Vir- ginia, and when six years old removed with his parents to North Carolina, where he was reared. He was married there to Sarah Dameron, a native of North Carolina. Uriah Pollard was the owner of one slave, although he did not believe in slavery. He was strongly opposed to the liquor traffic for sixty - five years. He took a firm stand against using it in the harvest -field, and although strongly opposed, finally won the day. Mrs. Pollard was a woman of sterling qualities, like those of old, ever providing for her children. Each child grew in virtue and be- came the head of an honorable family. They moved to Owen County, Indiana, in 1531, and lived there twenty years. In 185E they moved to McLe:.In County, Illinois, where they died, Mr. Pollard in 1879, aged eighty -two years, and his wife in IS74- They reared a family of seven children, all of whom are now living, three sons and four daughters. W. D. Pollard is next to the youngest. He made tits home with his parents till twenty -five years of age. He was educated at the Eureka College, in Woodford County, Illinois, he and his wife attending school one year after their marriage. He was reared in the Christian faith, his mother being a very pious woman• and his father a class - leader for forty years. He was married June 29, IS65, to Lizzie J. Hues men, who was born in Ohio, January 15, 1545. Her parents moved from Ohio to McLean Connty, Illinois, when she was an infant. Both 1'Ir. and Mrs. Pollard were toachers in the public school. After Irivi college they returned to their old home in McL-can County; here Mr. Pollard tau;,;ht school for a ve.`- and then returned to Woodford County and tau;;ht •' year. They then went to Gilman, Iroquois County [Ilinois, and took char-e of the public .school tllcic• - ,- Pew, Pvultivw� I 00 LI0Gl- *,A1111ICA for one year, and from there to Scott County, whey he taught three years, thence to Morgan County where both Mr. and Mrs. Pollard taught in the publi schools for three years. In 1S75 they came to Sant; Clara County. He at once bought a ranch of tkk-enty acres anc planted it to fruit- trees, and at the same time engaged tc teach the Saratoga public school, which he did for four Pollard has been actively engaged in raising fruit, having had at different times as many as 1;o acres. He has realized $5.00 per acre from three - year -old prunes, $75 per acre when four years old, and $200 when fire years old. The best he ever real- ized from prunes was $5;o per acre. In iSS7 he realized $300 per acre from five- year -old peach - trees. All-. Pollard has been a preacher for twenty -five years. Ile began his ministry about the time he commenced school- teaching, and has many times preached three times a day. Has held protracted meetings and taught school at the same time. For the past three years he has been preaching in Santa Cruz. The most of his efforts in this direction have been gratuitous. The richness of his life has been spent in the ministry, he having obtained from this service the largest results. Mr. Pollard, in the death Of his wife, February ?, 1SSS, met' with his greatest loss. She was his constant companion and helper in his Christian work. She was the mother of three children, all of whom survived her. In 1S83 Mr. Pollard bought a half interest in Washington College, in Alameda County, where both he and his wife taught for one year. This was the close of their teaching having devoted about fifteen years to it and twenty - five years to the ministry. He at present gives his time to preaching. His present ranch consists of forty acres, — thirty -four acres of French prunes, four acres of pears, and two acres of peaches, there being about 100 trees to the acre and ranging from two to six years old. ey 4-p 0 pj�, cog g- � IE-11 lei, 1 m t W�. �6A 0 to 1210 0 It" AL I I a Lom kjt,,t, 14(a to Ald.

Pollard was an important person in early Saratoga - a minister, school teacher and orchardist. Along with William Rice, another orchardist, and the Disciples of Christ, Rev. Pollard established the local Christian Church in 1878. Within two years, it had its own building on Lumber Street (now Big Basin Way), just beyond the Clef House building. Pollard and Rice also amazed local citizens by planting some of the first orchards in Saratoga in 1876; they planted an uncommon fruit at the time, the French prune. This house was the original farmhouse for the 40 -acre ranch. The property is now less than 2 acres and is surrounded by newer subdivisions. 20.
