SUMMARY MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION
COMMITTEE OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS FOR JUNE 19, 2003, HELD IN THE TOWN
COUNCIL CHAMBERS LOBBY, 110 E. MAIN STREET, LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA.

The meeting was called to order at 5:40 P.M. by Chair Pacheco.
ATTENDANCE
Members Present: Kelly Blough, Susan Burnett, Jeanne Drexel, Len Pacheco and Joanne
Talesfore
Absent: None
Staff Present: Sandy Baily, Associate Planner
Judie Gilli, Assistant Planner
Pacheco explained that the item on this agenda was originally considered by the Historic
Preservation Committee on June 4, 2003. However, since three members of the Committee had
a conflict of interest of being within 500 feet of the subject property, the two remaining
members, who did not have a conflict of interest with the application, voted on the matter.
Subsequent to the meeting, the Town Attorney determined that the application needed to be
reheard by the Committee, and that three members would need to vote on the matter. Therefore
this special meeting was arranged.
ITEM 1: 73 ELLENWOOD AVENUE
Pacheco, Burnett and Talesfore each stated for the record that they have a conflict of interest since
they live within 500 of the subject property. Baily stated that the members who had a conflict
would need to draw numbers to determine who would be a voting member to make a quorum.
Baily requested that Burnett recuse herself from the draw and the Committee for this item since
she lived adjacent to the subject property. Burnett recused herself from the meeting. Numbers 1
through 10 were placed in a bag and it was agreed that whoever drew the higher number would
vote on this application. Pacheco drew the number 7 and Talesfore drew the number 10.
Pacheco recused himself from the meeting.
Committee members Blough, Drexel and Talesfore considered plans to construct a second story
addition. Blough moved to recommend approval of the application to the Director of
Community Development subject to the following conditions.
1. All windows and doors shall be wood. No snap in grids or grids inside the windows are
permitted. Simulated wood grids are acceptable (ie: one glass pack with grids applied by
manufacturer to inside, outside and between glass), to read as a true divided lite window.
Vinyl clad windows are not permitted.
2. All window trim, window finish detail, corner boards, soffits, eaves, millwork and any other
detail shall match existing.
Drexel seconded, motion passed unanimously. The Committee further stated that the existing
and proposed contemporary windows at the rear elevation can be changed to match the other
windows if the applicant so chooses in the future.
Burnett and Pacheco returned to the meeting.
ITEM 2 ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 6:05 P.M. to the next regularly scheduled meeting of July 2, 2003.
