All work will conform to carpenter Victorian character of the existing structure and will use the same colors, materials, textures and details. The house is currently supported on wood mud sills and has unsupported earth cuts at its subspace. Footings and retaining walls will be provided and a slab added underneath for storage. The house will remain at the same elevation and does not need to be raised. The addition is at the rear of the house and would be difficult to view from the street. The character and massing of the structure will remain totally compatible to the neighborhood. {ATTAC'f01E1'iT 1 cflnne. !Bfoom(u.td ARCHITECTURAL /CULTURAL SURVEY LOS GATOS RESEARCH File address 3..:2.. {,,Jj, I ~". ,1-/ PARCEL MAP INFORMATION 7 ARCHITECTURAL H:STORY 141 5 ) 922· 1063 2229 WEBSTER STREET SAN FRANCISCO.
