PAGE 2 OF 2 SUBJECT: 33 WALNUT AVENUE AUGUST 16, 2018 N:\DEV\HISTORIC PRESERVATION\HPC Sheets\2018\Walnut33 -08-22-18.docx 8/17/2018 9:32 AM BACKGROUND (Continued): 2. Raising the roof of the covered porch from six feet 10-inches to nine feet tall to accommodate the existing eight-foot, four-inch front windows and provide visibility from the house and light into the house. 3. Modify the existing six-inch by six-inch decorative wood columns and guard rail with a square wood column design and a code compliant guard rail with a modified decorative pattern. Building permits are required for the proposed modifications to the front porch. Committee comments are requested to ensure the compatibility of the proposed modifications with the original structure and the surrounding area. The proposed development plans show a second story addition to the existing two-story house. The proposed second story addition is associated with a proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). New State regulations and the recent adoption of amendments to the Town’s ADU Ordinance allow second story ADUs to be constructed on an existing two-story residence with a ministerial review through an ADU permit. The applicant’s request, the Bloomfield Survey, existing photos, and the proposed development plans are attached. DISCUSSION: A. Considerations For pre-1941 structures, the proposed work will neither adversely affect the exterior architectural characteristics or other features of the property which is the subject of the application.

SaIIy Zarnowitz Los Gatos Planning Dept Sally, Thanks again for all your guidance in helping to develop our proposed a rchitectura l plans for adding the ADU to the upper floor facing the front street. Our goa l is to create an inviting livable space that will offer plenty of light and views that are possible from living on the second floor with sweeping views of the mountains and surrounding area. Having French doors and a walkout deck on the upper part of the front porch will create an attractive aesthetic from the street, and will bring a dditional light into the house and pleasant exterior views. This is also in keeping with the neighborhood where quite a few homes have this same feature including 151 Hernandez (deck faces onto Wissahickon), 7 Walnut Avenue, 3'81 Pennsylvania (deck is on top of the garage facing the street), 45 Glenridge (similar archi t ectural style), 125 Tait (being built right now), and 220 Wilder are some illustrative examples. l have checked with several of my neighbors on Walnut Avenue and all are completely fine with the propose d addition as describe d . At the same time, we are planning on r<esolving several design defects of the existing front porch which include 1) flooring is sloped away from the house making it awkward for poop1·e batandag, 2) f\o(i)ring is in poorcoHd>ition as a resuit ·offuH exposur.e to rains from a lack-of adequate roof protection, 3),porch roof siopes excessively down blocking views and light that would otherwise come into the tall front windows, and 4) depth is shallow limiting the usability of the porch. Unlike my prior house on Pine Avenue where the front porch was a wonderful, livable, space to enjoy the front yard as it was 11 feet deep. Thanks again for your eairlier gurdance and supp-ort in hetping us to complete the design approval process. We are excited about undertaking_ the work that will improve the aesthetics and functional use of the house. Sincere ly, Jeffrey Siegel Proposed Porch Design Improvements in Context of Historic Preservation f:te&t!fU1E o Anne Style Residence at 33 Walnut Avenue References: AUG l 6 2018 1) A field guide to American Houses, Published 2014 by Virginia Sav'MfJN OF LOS GATOS McAlester PLANN ING DIVI SION 2) The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings, 2017 Revised by Anne Grimmer 3) Los Gatos Guidelines for Historic Preservation 4) Consultation with Anne Grimmer, Architectural Historian for the Technical Preservation Services Department of the United States Park Service 33 Walnut Avenue, built in 1890, is an example of a Queen Anne style residence with minor spindlework detailing. With a hipped roof and lower cross gables, together with a wrap around porch, the house displays multiple elements of an 1890 era Queen Anne. The house is not located in a historic district though is considered by the town of Los Gatos to be historical on account of the year that it was built. History of the House: While built in 1890, multiple alterations have been made to the house over the intervening years including: 1) Roofing material -wood shingles replaced with composite material 2) Addition of second story ADU toward the rear of the house in 1986 3) Construction of a new two car garage in 2008 replacing a historic structure that could not be adapted for todays modern lifestyle 4) First floor alterations including addition of 250 square feet by pushing out the rear exterior walls of the house altering both size and shape 5) Full interior redesign and reconstruction in 2008 including removing interior walls, changing bedroom locations and sizes, adding windows and doors, creating a great room, adding a bathroom, and changing the interior flow of the house, al o n g with all new plumbing, electrical, and HVAC 6) Multiple landscape changes over time including adding a stone retaining wall and patio in the rear, with steps and gate out to the newly constructed garage Curing the Porch Design Defects: While many improvements have already been made over time, the one re maining and much 'needed alteration is the improvement of the front porch to address specific design defects tha t has caused safety, lighting, and sustainability issues. To be clear, this does NOT mea n changing the character defining featur e s of the porch, which include wrapping around the front and front-side of the house and the use of stylized v e rtica l suppo rts a nd detailed railing design. The design defects, which include shallow depth, overly pitched flooring, low profile roofline that obscures light and interior visibility, missing roof protective overhang, and ab~ence of a south facing weather barrier, altogether negatively impacts the sustainability, safety, and functional use of the front section of the house. Weather exposure to the front of the house, and a dark front interior are problems that are worth solving while respecting the historical integrity of the Queen Anne style. In addition, the front steps have proven to be a safety hazard as multiple guests have now slipped and fallen when walking down the steps. This stems from the exposure of the steps to the elements, combined with their shallow foot depth and steep pitch. It is desired to extend the porch roofline to cover and protect the steps from the elements to create a safe environment. This is in keeping with the Queen Anne style of architecture as evidenced in photos in the book A Field Guide to American Houses page 361, image 11. The desired porch improvements to address these existing problems include: 1) Deepening the porch from its current six feet to 11 feet, which is in keeping with the legal setbacks. Given the gaps in the weave style and low height of the existing railing, this will significantly improve the safety of using the porch, while allowing far more light to enter the tall front windows, and provide much needed protection from the strong west blowing winds and rains that assault the front (and side) of the house given its east (and south) facing exposure. 2) Slight change to the front porch railing to a tighter weave design for improved safety and stronger vertical supports with sturdier base. 3) Adding a transparent protective shield to the left side of the porch protecting the south exposure from wind-blasted rains during the winter months (as many other historic homes in Los Gatos currently have) 4) Raising the gutter eave height of the porch roofing, together with adding a porch roof overhang, as required for both lighting improvement and for protecting the front porch flooring and front siding of the house from the seasonal rains which continues to cause damage. 5) Reducing the existing pitch of the porch flooring to create a shallower pitched surface. Its current pitch creates a floor surface that is somewhat precarious to stand and walk on, particularly for the elderly or anyone that's tall. 6) Extending the porch roof over the front stairs as a safety feature. The front stairs are continually rained upon by environmental elements including water, bird droppings, and tree leaves. Altogether this has created a dangerous and slippery surface. Two guests have now slipped and at times fallen from these stairs and it's highly desired to create an environment for safe ingress/egress of the house while reducing legal liability. A key question to answer: The key question that arises when considering these proposed changes -is whether they constitute a character-defining feature change, or whether the character-defining features of the house can be preserved while making the required adaptation. To answer that question, we have turned to multiple sources, including those published, as well as consulted directly with the author of the Department of the Interiors Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties -Anne Grimmer. Anne's guidance in considering and answering this question has directly informed the proposal being submitted to the Los Gatos Historic Committee. Rehabilitation defined: Rehabilitation is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions, while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. Maintaining the Queen Anne style of the porch while incorporating the adaptation needed to address the design defects is the intention of this proposed project. Guidance from Anne Grimmer: It has been determined, after consulting in conference with the architectural historian and author of the Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings that the proposed changes to 33 Walnut will not create a 'character-defining change'. In fact, these guidelines state under Alterations -some exterior and interior alterations to a historic building are generally needed as part of a Rehabilitation project to ensure it's continued use. But it is most important that such alterations do not RADICALLY change, obscure, or destroy character-defining spaces, materials, features, or finishes. Anne noted that the porch related issues stem directly from what she calls a 'design defect', which can be intelligently addressed while preserving the character-defining features of the Queen Anne style. She gives the example of the firehouse that is down the street from her office in Washington DC, and is also cited as an example in the guidelines. The opening of the building, based on its original design, could not accommodate todays modern fire trucks, and so the opening was enlarged as an adaptation to today's needs, while preserving the building's style. According to Anne, "the tall front windows of your house (at 33 Walnut) are indeed a character defining feature, as is the style of the wrap around porch. But it's not unprecedented to see porch rooflines that hang so low as to block light and visibility. These should be considered a design defect, not a character-defining feature of the house. Raising the roofline to cure this defect would be considered a reasonable adaptation in the same way that enlarging the opening of the fire station down the street, to accommodate today's larger fire trucks, improved the functionality while still retaining the historic nature of the building itself. " For th is example, Anne referenced page 150 in Standards for Preservation & Guidelines for Preserving Historic Buildings. Anne views the front porch of 33 Walnut as similar to the firehouse example. She notes that making the improvements by addressing the design defects benefits the house and its livability, while preserving its true character-defining features (wrap around porch, tall front windows, detailed railing) of the Queen Anne architectural style. In other words, she sees the proposed improvements (roof height, porch depth, roof overhang, wind barrier) as an intelligent adaptation that would be barely discernible from the street, and not a radical change. We look forward to hearing the historic committee's assessment of these proposed changes, as a means of intelligently addressing the design defects that have caused problems in safety, livability, and maintenance.
