Attachment 3 - Justification LetterRe: Resubmittal – Rear Window/Door Modification at 68 Broadway
Dear Chair, members of the Historic Preservation Committee and members of the staff,
Thank you for your time and thoughtful review of our initial application regarding modifications to the rear façade of our home. We greatly appreciate the committee’s input and have taken your feedback seriously in preparing this resubmittal.
In response to the committee’s comments, we are now fully committed to ensuring that all proposed windows and folding doors include divided lites to match the existing historic style of the home. We understand that consistency in design is essential to maintaining the architectural integrity of the property and the neighborhood.
At your suggestion, we reached out to Bend River, a company with experience in the Los Gatos historic district. They confirmed their ability to custom-manufacture folding doors with divided lites, matching both the color and detailing of our existing windows. This option had not surfaced in our earlier research, and we now agree that it offers the best blend of functional improvement and historic compatibility.
We continue to believe this modest change to the rear of the house—entirely out of public view—will enhance the livability of our kitchen while remaining faithful to the property’s historical character. We hope this revised submission reflects our alignment with the town’s preservation values.
Thank you again for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Marc Dubresson
