Applicant: Town of Los Gatos. The following people from the audience spoke to these issues: Leslie Dill, 220 Wilder Ave., Historic Preservation Committee representative, gave background on the Committee's work on this Ordinance. Olivia Davies, Almendra, feels that funds should be spent on preserving the historic concrete streets in these districts, and that if this is not done due to expense it will allow the argument that private preservation of historic elements could consider the use of the cheaper non-historic materials in the upkeep and renovation of their homes in the districts due to finances. She feels that preservation of the concrete streets should not be abandoned. Robert Murphy, 72 Fairview Plaza, is concerned with homes that are not historic, but are located in the Historic Districts. He was informed that if he needed to rebuild his home due to a catastrophe, it could be rebuilt according to it's former style and not that of the district's. He pointed out that the ordinance does not mention that non-contributing structures are free to remodel/build according to the owner's option, but must copy the original structures style. Steve Lucero, 133 Lynhurst Crt., representing the Los Gatos-Saratoga Board of Realtors, stated Board is in favor of the core of the ordinance but questions the use of the words TC:D4:MM100592 October 5, 1992 Los Gatos, California "strongly suggest" in the use of materials and the need to include portions of the home not viewed from the street. Bonnie Wilson, 1188 Hyde Ave., representing the Los Gatos-Saratoga Board of Realtors, is in favor of maintaining the integrity of the district but feels that the portion regarding the rear of the house is too restrictive.
