N:\DEV\HISTORIC PRESERVATION\HPC Sheets\2020\06-24-20\Item 6 - 432 Los Gatos Boulevard\Staff Report.docx
DISCUSSION:
The applicant proposes an interior remodel of the first floor of the existing residence and a
404- square foot single-story street side master suite addition to the north of the existing
residence (Attachment 5, A1.1). The addition would step back from the front elevation of the
existing residence, and the street side elevation of the existing detached garage. A subordinate
connection between the existing residence and the master suite addition would accommodate
a hallway and closet areas. Exterior materials on the proposed connection would include
vertical board and batten siding and a standing seam metal roof, differentiating itself from the
historic portion of the residence and the proposed master suite addition. Exterior materials on
the proposed master suite addition would match those of the existing residence: horizontal
wood siding, composition roof, and wood trim. A patio and deck would be situated between
the master suite addition and the existing detached garage .
Proposed exterior alterations to the existing residence include:
• Los Gatos Boulevard Front (West) Elevation (A3.1):
o Replacement of all existing windows to match existing;
o Replacement of the existing front door and sidelight; and
o Replacement of an existing window at bedroom 2 with a fixed art glass window.
• Spencer Avenue Side (North) Elevation (A3.1):
o New sliding door at the family room.
• Neighbor Side (South) Elevation (A3.2):
o New art glass window at the new bathroom; and
o Replacement of one existing double-hung window with two double-hung
windows or a bay window.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant is seeking preliminary feedback from the Committee on the proposal. Should the
Committee find merit in the request, the project could be completed with a Building Permit,
and if confirmed through Planning review to be in substantial conformance with the
Committee’s review and recommendations, would not return to the Committee.
A. Considerations
Sec. 29.80.290. Standards for review.
In evaluating applications, the deciding body shall consider the architectural style, design,
arrangement, texture, materials and color, and any other pertinent factors. Application s
shall not be granted unless:

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.

Town of Los Gatos
Planning Department
Attn: HPC
June 08, 2020
To whom it concerns,
Four years ago, my husband Joey and I enthusiastically purchased a historic Los Gatos home.
As a young & growing family, buying a home in Los Gatos was a dream realized; we scraped
together every penny we had, stretching far beyond what was comfortable, to build community
in a town that we’d already grown to love. And while the layout of a historic home doesn’t
always lend itself to seamless, modern-family living, we felt (and still feel) privileged to call this
sliver of California history - ‘ours’.
Joey and I met as college Students at the University of Colorado, Boulder; I - an architecture
major from the Chicago suburbs, and Joey - a history major from Los Altos, CA.
While in college, I studied historic preservation, and had a vision of moving to the East Coast to
pursue historic restoration & rehabs. But alas, life had different plans; when Joey got a job in
his hometown of Mountain View, CA, I followed him to the land of mid-century ranches. My
dream of living in a charming old home, walkable to a historic downtown was sidelined, until I
set my sights on Los Gatos.
As a young couple, we spent many date nights on Santa Cruz Avenue, and cruised the nearby
residential streets with big hopes for our future. And as fate would have it, a few years later
while pregnant with our second child - only months after fully renovating our downtown Los
Altos condo - we stumbled upon a Redfin listing for 432 Los Gatos, Blvd. The next day, we
drove down to see the house, and that night, we made an offer. Joey and I weren’t in the
market for a house, but this one felt like home.
Since that day four years ago, our family has grown again - bringing us to a grand total of 5
people, and 1 bathroom (It gets ugly sometimes)! And although we must add square footage
[and a toilet] in order to stay on our beloved corner of LG, our love for history and design have
us striving to maintain all of the home’s story, while adding to it - just a little bit.
—
We will not demolish any part of the historic house, nor will we alter the existing facade, except
to put in a new front door package, and install a fixed, decorative window in lieu of an operable
one that currently exposes bedroom #2 to Los Gatos Blvd. This is simply for privacy and
safety, as it concerns our daughters who will share bedroom #2.
As you will notice on the site plan, the only side of the house that does not already sit on a
setback is the North side, which faces Spencer Avenue and the Valero station across the
street. It is our intention to shield our view of the gas station (and others’ view of us!) with a
tasteful, single-story master suite addition.
When the home was built in 1884, they didn’t have the fore-site to orient the home’s views
away from Valero. So now that the site on which the house was built has changed, a little
strategic reorienting will greatly improve this home’s livability.
The design strategy for the add-on is for it to appear as a separate building that has been
connected to the original house. Rather than risk confusing what may have been original with
ATTACHMENT 1
what is new, our goal is to make it clear that an addition occurred, but in a manner that pays
homage to the original design. Some key design decisions are outlined below:
•We have dropped the plate of the addition so that the new portion of the house will not be as
prominent as the original house.
•We chose not to add the skirt that is on the original house, to maintain a sense of hierarchy -
that the historic structure is more significant than the addition.
•We intend to use the same horizontal siding on the new portion of the house, with the
exception of the connection. The connection will likely be vertical board & batten in order to
achieve the illusion that the new structure is separate from the original one.
•We are maintaining a single story home, with rooflines that match those on the original house.
•A new porch on the North side of the home will have a trellis to help screen some of the gas-
station commotion, and will boast some of the same detailing visible on the front porch -
maintaining the same high-level of design integrity.
We appreciate the time you’re taking to review this project. We love this town’s rich history, and
look forward to being part of it for many years to come.
Respectfully,
-BVSFO'VMDIFS

Residential Design Guidelines 33
Town of Los Gatos
BUILDING DESIGN3
3.8.3 Use traditional detailing
•Treat openings in walls as though they were constructed of
the traditional material for the style. For example, be sure to
provide substantial wall space above arches in stucco and
stone walls. Traditionally, wall space above the arch would
have been necessary to structurally span the opening, and
to make the space too small is inconsistent with the archi-
tectural style.
•Openings in walls faced with stone, real or synthetic, should
have defined lintels above the opening except in Mission or
Spanish Eclectic styles. Lintels may be stone, brick or wood
as suits the style of the house.
•Treat synthetic materials as though they were authentic.
For example, select synthetic stone patterns that place the
individual stones in a horizontal plane as they would have
been in a load bearing masonry wall.
•Select roof materials that are consistent with the traditional
architectural style (e.g., avoid concrete roof tiles on a Crafts-
man Style house.)
3.8.4 Materials changes
•Make materials and color changes at inside corners rather
than outside corners to avoid a pasted on look.
3.9 ADDITIONS/ACCESSORY BUILDINGS/SECONDARY
UNITS
•Site additions in the least conspicuous place. In many cases
this is a rear or side elevation - only rarely is it a rooftop.
•The existing built forms, components and materials should
be reinforced. Heights and proportions of additions and
alterations should be consistent with and continue the
original architectural style and design.
•Additions should be subordinate, and compatible in scale
and proportion to the historically significant portions of
the existing structure.
•When an addition or remodel requires the use of newly
constructed exterior elements, they should be identical in
size, dimension, shape and location as the original, and
Use stone or wood lintels over
openings in stone walls
Additions, accessory buildings and secondary
units should match the form, architectural
style, and details of the original house
ATTACHMENT 4
Residential Design Guidelines34
Town of Los Gatos
BUILDING DESIGN3
should utilize the same materials as the existing protected
exterior elements.
• When an addition necessitates the removal of architectural
materials, such as siding, windows, doors, and decorative
elements, they should be carefully removed and reused in
the addition where possible.
• The introduction of window and door openings not char-
acteristic in proportion, scale, or style with the original
architecture is strongly discouraged (e.g., sliding windows or
doors in a structure characterized by double hung windows
and swinging doors).
• The character of any addition or alteration should be in
keeping with and subordinate to the integrity of the original
structure.
• The amount of foundation exposed on the addition should
match that of the original building.
• Do not add roof top additions where the roof is of historic
significance.
• Second floor additions are discouraged in neighborhoods
with largely one story homes. If horizontal expansion of
the house is not possible, consider incorporating a second
floor addition within the roof form as shown in the example
to the left.
• Second floor additions which are not embedded within the
roof form should be located to the rear of the structure.
• The height and proportion of an addition or a second story
should not dominate the original structure.
• Deck additions should be placed to the rear of the struc-
ture only, and should be subordinate in terms of scale and
detailing.
• New outbuildings, such as garages, should be clearly subor-
dinate to the main structure in massing, and should utilize
forms, materials and details which are similar to the main
structure.
• Garages should generally be located to the rear of the lot
behind the rear wall of the residence. One car wide access
driveways should be utilized.
Original structure
Addition incorporated into the roof
successfully adds space while respecting the
integrity of the existing house and the scale of
the neighborhood
Placing a two story addition to the rear can
minimize its impact on the historic resource
and the scale of the neighborhood
