Additional information (Other information/samples provided at the hearing)
1.A 3D CAD model has been made of the 145 Tait Neighborhood. The HPC can then view the
interactive model where we look at the site from any vantage point desired. This assists in giving
valuable context in regards to scale, massing, both existing and proposed renovations of this
uninhabitable/vacant house which has not been lived in since 1996. This interactive 3D model has
been successfully on the historic Sutro house in San Francisco at 1600 Lake Street, San Francisco.
2.Sample Marvin Double Hung window used on other historic projects
3.Financial burden and impact on the new owners-see attached
4.Pictures of Beckstrom Architecture work in Los Gatos and other locations
5.Updated site plans and street elevations which are essential in determining the scale/heights/sizes of
the existing houses.
6.Resume
Sincerely,
Eric A. Beckstrom, Architect
