Request to remove a pre-1941 structure
W e are requesting to remove a pre-1941 structure; the structure was built in 1920. We completed the
historica l researc h worksheets (Exhibit A, pg . 1-2) in the Lo s Gatos Library with Lynn Dougherty, in the
Santa Clara County Offices, and i n the San Jose Public Li brary on 12/7 /17 . Research as follows :
Los Gatos Library: (Exhibit A, 3pgs.)
The only relevant document found was the Anne Bloomfield Historic Inventory Survey (E x hitib A, pg. 3).
In it, she identifies NO historical significance or architectural merit.
Santa Clara County Offices: (Exhibit B, 2pgs.)
At the Santa Clara County office s, we obtained a property record from the Assessor's office with a
picture of the original __ !O.?._O sf bungalow.
The property was annexed to the Town of Los Gatos February 6, 1961. Then in 1986, an 1122 sf addition
was completed and in 1990, the existing garage was demolished, and a new 550 sf garage was built. The
entrance was also relocated compromising the integrity of the original fai;ade . The new addition utilized
vinyl windows in the front instead of wood windows further compromising the integrity of the fai;ade.
The existing house encroaches into the Fi sher Ave. street side setback; the code requires 15 ft. and it i s
currently 6 .lft. Th e structure's integr ity has bee n compromised by addition and re pl ac eme nt.

San Jose Public Library -California Room: (Exhibit C, 17pg.}
Additional research was done in the California Room. Searching through multiple maps, we were able to
locate the property and owner's initials (M .S.) on the Northwest Quadrant of the Santa Clara County
Map dated 1914 in the Arbuckle Collection (Exhibit C, pgs. 1-3). Searching through multiple Polk
Directories (Exhibit C, pgs . 4-14) gave us three names (Exhibit C, pg . 7) with the initials M .S., which we
then looked up in the Library's computer. This lead us to the orig inal owner, Michael Schmitt, found in
Eugene Sawyer's History of Santa Clara County written in 1922 (Exhibit C, pg . 15-17).
Michael Schmitt was born in Germany in 1852. He immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 16 and settled in
Pennsylvania. After several years, he relocated to Sonoma Valley to work on a farm . Then in 1890, he
transferred to Mt. Hamilton Vineyard to farm . Five years later he purchased 12 acres on Roberts Rd . in
Los Gatos to start his own farm growing prunes and apricots. He married Miss Marie Thelen, a San
Francisco native, and had 2 daughters, Dorothea and Clarice . He built the lOSOsf bungalow in 1920 and
passed away two years later in 1922. No significant events or persons have been found associated with
this site.
Structural Report dated 6/20/17: (Exhibit D, 12pgs.)
The original house's foundation and basement walls are not compliant with current building code. The
foundation lacks reinforcement, anchor bolts, 2500psi concrete, and appropriately sized footings. The
basement walls do not have footings and the basement floor is dirt versus the currently required
reinforced concrete slab. There are rotten sill plates and cripple wall studs due to improper grading,
drainage, and vegetation location. The addition's foundation is showing significant cracks, gaps
between the sill plate and cripple wall sill plate, and earth to wood contact. The structure displays no
distinctive characteristics of any type, period, or method of construction.
Termite Report dated 5/20/17: (Exhibit E, 19pgs.)
The house has suffered significant damage from fungus and ongoing infestations of drywood and
subterranean termites. Evidence can be seen on the exterior siding, window trim, windows, doors,
garage doors, roof eaves, posts, pergolas, railings, subfloor area, sheathing, framing members, etc.
(photos, Exhibit E, pg. 13-19). Much of the deterioration is caused by wood to earth contact and
deferred maintenance.
We hope we have provided sufficient information to support our request to remove this pre-1941
structure.
Sincerely,
Josephine Chang

How to Research the History of a House in Los Ga t os
Any house that was built before 1941 is considered hi storic by Town law.
~~\,co.."~,
~ cf::>e '?y:__ '~~a"~
\)~..\~. \'L\ \ \ \ 1
lfthe house number is a 4-digit number, it is a Campbell address. V o\v0-...\..Ce<-. L'i I\<"\ \)ou,5 "-<'"*(
If the house is a 5-digit number, it is a County address (but some of these were pulled out of the County system and
made into Los Gatos addresses).
1. Look in the Residences drawer s of the Vertical File, filed alphabetically by st'Aet, then numerically by street
number. Any photos here would be helpful for the patron. N. ~ \ ~ ~~d\.
2. There is a file titled "Bellringers" at the beginn ing of the Residences file in the History Room and there are some
newspaper articles about the genesis of the Bellringer program. There is a list of the 100 Bellringers (houses that
were built before 1900 and awarded) in this file. ~~ °' ~\ \r \ r--.~ e_r
3. A list of 20+ years of the Museums of Los Gatos Historic Homes Tours is to be found in the Resource Guides bin
on the shelf above the computers. If listed, find the house in the Tour Program for the year it was shown .
Programs are in Cabinet #11 . \---\ ~' '"''d ~ ou l\cJ\
4. The 1941 Tax Assessment Survey is in blue binders i n Cabinet #11 . Th i s is an assessment of houses that existed
in 1941. The listings are alphabetical by street. An entry will tell you how old the owner thought the house was
in 1941, which won't always be accurate. By Town decree, any house built before 1941 is considered historic,
and an owner must get permission and permits to change any exterior cha racteristics. ~ t:.~, 0)f 00 00\
5. Part of Anne Bloomfield's Survey of 1991 is in white binders in Cabinet #11 . These homes are listed by
neighborhood. This is another assessment of houses that was done in 1991, and additional information can
potentially be found here. "2:. --;.....'0...\ ~ \ .\-A v~, ~
6. Look in Patrons' Inquiries binder #3 under Residences, which is located on the shelf above the computers in the
History Room. These are houses that were already asked about i n the past, and there is a chance the house you
are searching for can be in this binder, with all the sou rces checked already. \'l,o\-,,....._\,.....CJ--..Qo0-{°'\cA
7. Polk's Directories are in Cabinet #12 . We have volumes 1925-1974, some years missing. Most of these
directories have reverse l istings so you can look up the street address for owner, and sometimes the owner's
occupation . The yellow section is like a telephone directory, and the pi nk section lists the streets and house
numbers and who lived there . \c.i\ "'\:-\ , \C\L\""t

8. The Sanborn Maps are bound in a book that lies on top of the microfilm file cabinet . These maps only indicate
outlines of buildings in 1884, 1888, 1891, 1895, 1904, 1908, 1928 and 1944. (1944 maps have been relabeled
and appear BEFORE 1928 maps.) These maps will show proportions of bui ldings and structural significances.

9. Searching on ancestry.com (available free only while inside the l ibrary) can be helpful if looking for a relative .

11. Books that are helpful: History of Los Gatos by George Bruntz (979.473); As it Was by Dora Rankin (in Cabinet
#11, R979.473 R21 Los Gatos); Los Gatos Observed by Alistair Dallas (979.473); A Field Guide to American Houses

Mr. John Gallie June 20, 2017
Subject: Foundation inspection of 16940 Roberts Rd. Los Gatos
Dear Mr. Gallie,
Upon the request of your agent we performed an inspection of the foundation of the above refe r-
enced property today. This report summarizes our findings and any recommendations. Successful
use of this report relies on a full understanding . We use laymen terminology as best we can, but
we understand some of the content may appear overwhelming. We encourage you to look up un-
familiar nomenclature, and to call our office to seek clarification as needed.
In this report , "right side" refers to the right side of the house when viewing the house from the
street.
This wood-framed house, situated on a relatively level lot is a one-story, single-family residence .
It was built in 1920 per an internet realty site . There is an addition at the left half of the house.
Foundation Design Summary
The foundation design is as follows:
(a) An unreinforced original continuous concrete perimeter.
(b) An unreinforced original interior continuous foundation line .
(c) Isolated footings supporting interior loads.
(d) A partial basement wall at the middle-third of the subarea.
(t) A reinforced concrete addition at the left half of the house .
R ECEIVED
AUG 0 7 2018
TOWN Of-LOS GATOS
PL ANNING D IVIS ION
(g) Several reinforced interior continuous foundation lines at the left-third of the subarea.
Regarding the original house: It should be understood at the onset that a foundation and base-
ment walls of this age and construction type is not as strong as a modern foundation built to to-
day's standards. The latter contains reinforcing steel , uniformly spaced anchor bolts, concrete of
at least 2500 psi, and footings sized appropriately to the soil type and soil strength. The subject
foundation is lacking in one or more of these characteristics. Typically, older foundations are less
cupablc of resisting seismic forces, low strength soils , and other inlluenccs.
ATTACHMENT 4
Floor Level Survey
The primary expectation of a foundation is that it does not settle significantly differentially, that
it keeps the floors level. This is a primary measurement of foundation performance .
A floor level survey was performed to help determine perimeter and interior foundation perfor-
mance. Differences in flooring thicknesses were accounted for during the survey. The survey is
partial, not measuring every square foot of the floor, and so higher and lower elevations may be
found upon closer inspection. Elevations may change seasonally when problematic soils are
present, and so measurements may be found to be different in the summer than in the winter.
Measurements in this survey are approximate , expected to be within .2 " of accurate. The survey
was performed using a Technidea Zip Level, calibrated within the past month. The floor level
survey is recorded in inches, therefore, "2. l" would be two and one tenth inch, as an example.
The survey found a total of 1.2 inches of floor level elevation differential. This is a good result
for a house this age and indicates the soil supporting the founda1io11 is of respectable strength .
Interior Cosmetics
No unusual distress was observed despite that the house has not been refreshed in several years .
Original Sub-area Observations
l. Some sections of the original perimeter stemwall have suffered significant spalling of the con-
crete surface . See photos below. Al one location a wedge of concrete has fallen off, causing a
horizontal crack. There are many reasons for concrete to deteriorate, such as sand or rock that
was not sufficiently cleaned. The lost of strength of the concrete is evident as the concrete sur-
face can be easily removed with little effort.
2 . Shims at some sections of the sill plate . This appears to have been done at the time of original
construction . Most likely, the foundation was not poured level and was shimmed to bring the sill
plate to the same elevation , le aving a gap in -between the sill plate and ste mwall. The sill plate
and stemwall should be in full contact for optimum friction for lateral stability.
3. Earth to wood contact at the front-right portion of the house. The soil that has accumulated on
the sill plate and studs has fallen down from the adjacent planter. This caused some rotting of the
siding , sill plate , and some of the studs .
4 . A vertical crack at the rear-right third of the stemwall. Generally we do not recommend epoxy
injection of the vertical cracks when there is no steel (rebar) to protect.
5 . Some of the original interior foundation s urfaces have been plastered . This does not improve
significantly the compressive strength of the original conc rete.

Addition Sub-area Observations
l. A shimmed section of the sill plate. Most likely the building contractor did not achieved the
same elevation of the perimeter foundation and the cripple wall plate was shimmed to bring the
floor to the same elevation. This created some gaps in between the sill plate and cripple wall
plate. The gap between the sill plate and cripple wall plate should be shimmed and hardware
connections should be installed to provide positive connection.
2. A significant vertical crack was observed in the stemwall foundation . We define "significant
crack" as one which is wide enough to expose the rebar within the concrete to humidity, and
therefore corrosion. Hairline cracks which do not expose the rebar are not considered significant.
Significant cracks should be injected to protect the rebar from moisture and return strength to the
concrete. We recommend that only contractors certified in pressure injection be hired to perform
such work as incorrect repair is useless and difficult to correct.
3 . Earth to wood contact in the rear addition.
Anchorage of the Framing to the Foundation
Another expectation of a foundation is that it keeps the house in place during earthquakes and
heavy wind. Foundation anchor bolts, or other mechanical attachment, are relied upon for this
function. In the subject property, anchor bolts were only observed at the left addition.
Basement
I. A partial basement exists under the rear of the house.
2. The interior retaining portions do not appear to have bottom footings and the floor is dirt. The
walls do not show distress so the dirt behind appears to be firm . The dirt was exceptionally dry.
3 . One section appears to have not had any concrete as a wing wall is formed right to the dirt
with no sign of another wall ever touching it. The soil behind appears to be fill , and the tool
marks can still be seen on rocks that were broken . Very little of the fill appears to have sloughed
off. Nevertheless, a basement wall with footing should be built.
4. We suggest an upgrade of the basement , adding a slab and wall.
5 . Floor loads have been added to a wall that is not designed to take the load as it is only about
4" thick. See photo on the next page.
Drainage
1. As a general note , control of the water around the entire foundation is essential to reducing
differential settlement and other movement of the foundation components. The owner should
take care to ensure the ground around the house is properly graded to provide positive drainage
away from the house. One half inch ( 112") per foot slope, for a minimum of five (5) foet, is rec-
ommended. Water should not be allowed to pool near the foundation. Downspout water must be
directed well away from the foundation by concrete pads or by drain pipe.1
2. The soil level and the direction of slope of the soil level has been altered from the original
condition of having the soil drop away from the house so water nms away , and not toward the
house. Planting materials, dirt and wooden forms have been brought in and now divert water to-
wards the house. This should all be removed and the soil graded so that water can now away
from the house, not towards it.
3. There are low spots around the house where the downspout leaders are not long enough to get
the water away from the house.
Comments and Opinions
Considering the age of the original perimeter house and the poor condition of the concrete, the
original perimeter indicates that it has reached its service life end. If within your budget, we rec-
ommend the original foundation be replaced . Considering the relatively level floors for its age,
1 The gutter-downspout-drain pipe combination is a system . Without drain pipes, the system is incomplete .
the perimeter foundation can be replaced with a typic a l modern spread footing . In our estimation ,
a deep pile type foundation is not necessary.
Recommendations regarding the Original House
I . Regarding the original perimeter:
(a) Draw plans, obtain engineering for foundation replacement, obtain permit.
(b) Remove vegetation along the front -half, right, and rear-half of the perimeter wall .
(c) Replace the perimeter foundation (not the basement) and a interior continuous foundation
line .
(b) Replace rotten sill plate and cripple wall studs.
(t) Regrade soil at the front-half, right, and rear-half of the the walkway.
2 . Complete the incomplete basement.
3 . Consult with a landscaper regarding regrading the yard areas where the planter installations
have brought the dirt level up too high , causing the soil to slope towards the house . The planters
at the right, left and rear should be removed.
4 . Regarding the low areas where water can pond , consult with a landscaper regarding regrading
the low spots and conveying the downspout water further away from the house .
Recommendations regarding the Addition
I. Regarding the gap in between the sill plate and the cripple wall sill plate at the the addition:
Shim gap, install hardware.
2. Concerning the significant vertical foundation fracture in the foundation of the addition: Seal
fractures , set injection ports , pressure inject epoxy.
3. Correct the earth-to-wood contact.
General Notes Concerning Inspections by Avalon
l . Dates Valid: Please note that various factors such as seismic activity, inadequate drainage,
compressible soils, slope failure, poor-quality concrete, etc., can deteriorate a foundation. Thus
the observations and opinions listed above are valid on the date of this visual inspection only.
2 . Termites and Dry Rot This inspection did not include examination for termite damage or dry
rot. Such inspections arc performed by licensed pest control companies .
3. Asbestos: Avalon does not perform asbestos abatement or mold abatement. We offer no rec-
ommendations concerning such .
4 . Soils: This inspection did not include soils tests or slope tests . Such investigations arc per-
formed by licensed soils engineering companies .
5 . Expansive soils : Many houses in California are built on expansive soils . Such soil will shrink
and swell with the seasons, resulting in movement of foundation elements with resultant cosmet-
ic distress . Homeowners living in neighborhoods of such soils, unless in very modem houses,
can expect such movement and distress to a greater or lesser degree . As we are not soils engi-
neers , we recommend you as k your real estate agent if the neighborhood is known for expansive
clays . An alternative would be to call a local soils engineer. This is the homebuyer or homeowner
responsibility.
If your home is built over expansive soils, you may need a cut-off drain (aka curtain drain or sub-
drain) to mitigate the seasonal movement which can cause cosmetic distress. If such is not in-
cluded in our Minimum Recommendations, and you sus pect the home is built over expansive
soils, please contact our office .
6 . Water: Regarding water intrusion, due to non -visible soil conditions and other factors, we re -
serve the right to revise our drainage recommendations upon re-inspection of the site towards the
end of the wet season. Alternatively, you could hire a hydrology engineer to perform site tests
during the dry-season and provide a prediction of moisture in the wet season.
7. Engineering Excluded: This inspection did not include materials tests, or calculations for load
bearings. Such can be provided by licensed engineering companies. Avalon is a general contract -
ing company specializing in foundation repair and retaining walls, and does not employ engi-
neers.
8. Visual Observation Only : This inspection did not include examination of concealed areas. It
was a visual inspection. No guarantee is either expressed or implied as to the life expectancy of
the foundation.
9 . Concerning horizontal fractures: Such conditions are usually due to rusting rebar, which ex-
pands as it rusts, eventually cracking the conc rete . As this is a dynamic process (meaning contin -
uous) further cracking can occur if the original crack is not repaired and its true extent deter-
mined upon original discovery. Therefore, observation of any crack or fracture in the concrete
foundation is valid on the day of inspection only.
lO . No Seismic Analysis Included: Recommendations he rein do not include a full seismic up-
grade for the house. No warranty is offered for seismic resistance.
11. Building Plans: Unless noted otherwise, the original building plans were not made available
to Avalon Structural, Inc. for examination.
12 . History of Cosmetic Distress: As interior and exterior cosmetic repairs can conceal founda-
tion movement which would later become visible with the changing of the seasons, we recom-
mend buyers ask sellers specifically to disclose knowledge of any cosmetic distress history.
13 . Main Structure Only: Unles s otherwise noted, this rcpo1t is limited to the main house only .
Detached garages, and other detached structures , are beyond the scope of this report.
14 . Underpinning , If Recommended Above: The installation of any underpinning piles that may
be recommended above will fix the area of the structure involved directly. The remainder of the
structure may or may not move differentially with regard to the underpinned area. If movement
of the non-underpinned area becomes apparent in the future, underpinning similar to any recom-
mended herein should be provided .
15 . Remodeling: Additional loads are sometimes introduced on the foundation by remodeling .
For example, adding a heavier roof, stucco, granite countertops, heavier flooring, or changing the
load paths by taking out walls may add substantial weight upon the foundation or particular por-
tions of the foundation. Unless otherwise stated above, this report does not assume significant
additional loads being introduced .
16 . Exclusive Use and Refund: This report is for the exclusive use by the addressee of this report,
and comes with a money-back guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with the quality of this report,
please state the details of your dissatisfaction in writing for a full refund. This refund limits our

This report is an inspection for wood destroying pests and organisms to a furnished,
occupied structure. Some areas of the structure were inaccessible for inspection due
to furnishings, appliances, floor covering, and/or stored personal property. We did not
inspect areas immediately under furnishings or appliances, nor did we inspect inside
finished walls or ceilings. Our inspection does not include any electrical, heating, air
conditioning, structural adequacy, pest other than wood destroying pest or
mechanical systems of the structure and will not detect building code violations. The
plumbing was inspected and only the leaks outlined in our report were found at this
time. However, we assume no responsibility for leaks that occur after the date of this
inspection. There may be health related issues associated with the findings reflected
in this report. We are not qualified to and do not render an opinion concerning any
such health issues. The inspection report was limited to the visible and accessible
areas only. Questions concerning health related issues, which may be associated with
the findings or recommendations reflected in this report, the presence of mold, the
release of mold spores or concerning indoor air quality should be directed to a
Certified Industrial Hygienist. It has been requested by the agent that this report be
limited to the main structure and the detached garage only, excluding the attached
deck and gazebo. It is recommended that the entire structure be inspected.
HomeGuard Incorporated will upon request, inspect the entire structure at an
additional expense. This structure has carpet installed. Although no adverse
conditions were evident, we assume no responsibility for the floor under the carpet
unless the carpet is removed and we perform a further inspection. The enclosed areas
behind the deck were not inspected. A portion of the subfloor is insulated below the
structure. There i s no evidence of any infestation in these areas; however, this
insulation could possibly conceal infestations. We assume no responsibility for any
infestations concealed by this insulation. As is standard practice within our industry
and since our inspectors do not carry a 30' ladder on their vehicle, the eaves, wood
siding and wood windows above 11' were only inspected visually from the ground.
Upon request and at an additional charge HomeGuard Incorporated will return to the
property and further inspect these inaccessible areas by probing the wood members.
The enclosed area inside the front and rear porch overhang was not inspected. The
inaccessible areas listed above which were not inspected will be inspected upon the
owner's request and will be conditional to additional inspection fees.
NOTE: WE GUARANTEE ALL REPAIRS DONE BY THIS COMPANY FOR ONE (1) YEAR AND
FUMIGATIONS FOR A PERIOD OF THREE (3) YEARS FROM THE DATE OF
COMPLETION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PLUMBING, GROUTING, CAULKING, RAIN
GUTTERS AND RE-SETTING OF TOILETS WHICH ARE GUARANTEED FOR 30 DAYS
FROM THE DATE OF COMPLETION. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE WORK PERFORMED
BY OTHERS. WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE AGAINST FUTURE INFECTIONS, ADVERSE
CONDITIONS, OR CONDITIONS PRESENT BUT NOT EVIDENT AT THE TIME OF OUR
INSPECTION.
THE EXTERIOR SURFACE OF THE ROOF WAS NOT INSPECTED. IF YOU WANT THE
WATER TIGHTNESS OF THE ROOF DETERMINED, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A
ROOFING CONTRACTOR WHO IS LICENSED BY THE CONTRACTORS STATE

inspection of work while in progress will be necessary. Any guarantees must be
received from parties performing repairs." Work performed by others will be
reinspected for a fee of $195.00 for each trip out to the property. Open wall and open
floor inspections are desirable if certification is required.

warning agent. The entire structure must be vacant for this process. It is the
owners responsibility to make any preparations required by the fumigators or to
have someone to do so at a separate expense and to have the gas turned back
on when the fumigation is complete . "NOTICE: The charge for service that this
company subcontracts to another registered company may include the company's
charges for arranging and admin istering such services that are in addition to the

wood-destroying pests extend or exist beyond the area(s) of local treatment, they may not
be exterminated".

repaired areas. We will cover repaired sheetrock and wood with one coat of white primer for
the contracted amount. The repaired area can be painted in a finished color at an additional

the work. Any texturing will vary from the original texture however we will match as close as
possible. All painting will be on the area repaired only. On exterior surfaces texturing and
painting will only be done when the weather permits.

issued listing additional findings, recommendations and bids.
