Project Planner: Maria Chavarin. Maria Chavarin, Project Planner, presented the staff report. Note: This is not a request for a formal review but for a second preliminary review. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager As a preliminary review, there is no formal recommendation from the Committee. They can provide additional feedback and evaluate if the applicant adequately responded to the first preliminary review. The applicant decides when to submit a formal application. Committee members asked questions of staff. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager There is no formal application yet. Focus on the changes from the first preliminary review. Have they responded adequately? There is no technical analysis at this stage of preliminary review. In 1989 the building was demolished but property is still in the University- Edelen Historic District. It should still support the district by being consistent and enhance the District. Page 6 PAGE 3 OF 11 MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 25, 2025 Opened Public Comment. David Kuoppamaki, Applicant David sees his role as a mediator between what the client wants and to still abide by the zoning and historic codes. The owners like the look of their neighbor’s house. Committee members asked questions of staff. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager This is not a new build but was rebuilt in 2000. Any improvements should continue to enhance or be supportive of the District. It should be consistent with the District and the chosen style. Guidelines allow in some cases, that it is possible to change a noncontributing structure to a contributor. But in this case, this is not an old house, but a new house. With guidance, the style of the house can change. Committee members asked questions of the applicant. David Kuoppamaki, Applicant The owners want to change the style. They like the neighbor’s house and specifically want a higher ceiling. The Prairie or Italianate style allows higher ceilings. They can play with the roof pitch and ceiling heights. The owners would be open to a different potential style if they can get a higher ceiling. On the second floor the side walls come down very low to only five feet. This makes it difficult to accommodate a TV or a dresser. Closed Public Comment. Committee members discussed the matter. Commissioner Burnett Don’t want to change the style from Victorian to Italianate. The flat roof doesn’t go along with the gable roof. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager Let’s walk through the bullet list: • Adding two windows instead of one in the front elevation. – done. • Consider adding a belly band to break up the first and second floor space on the left elevation – done. Chair Quintana A belly band is usually used when there is a change in material. Page 7 PAGE 4 OF 11 MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 25, 2025 Vice Chair Queiroz Agree with applicant, that there is a variety of house styles. There are many Victorians, and there are variations of Italianate. At the last meeting we didn’t know that they were going for Italianate. It is okay as long as it looks historic and fits with the neighborhood. Okay with removing the windows. They are not visible. Looking at the floor plan it makes sense why they wouldn’t want windows there. Commissioner Burnett This proposed design doesn’t have a single style. It should be true to its design. Chair Quintana The two sides of the street are different. The east side has a large apartment complex and a few cottage style houses. The other side is more uniform. Between Miles and the end of the street, there are a variety of cottage styles, but they are consistent in size. Two large impressive Victorian Homes are on the south side of Miles Road. The main style is Italianate. It is hard to say if there are Victorian or Craftsman leanings. No real example of an Italianate style would fit into the neighborhood. Only the mix of the neighbor’s house. Vice Chair Queiroz It looks very similar to Italianate. It looks historic. Chair Quintana Advise the applicant to move in a different direction. Most of the houses are small and simple like a bungalow, cottage, etc. This plan is not small or consistent. Open Public Comment David Kuoppamaki, Applicant It is over FAR because of the basement square footage. It counts when the walls are 5 feet high. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager As a FAR exception, it would return to HPC and then to PC. David Kuoppamaki, Applicant The Lot coverage is not an issue in this zone. The client’s primary goal is to go up and not out. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager To summarize: Removal of windows on the left side is of mixed opinion. There is also mixed opinion if this design works. Design can move towards Italianate as long as it’s done well and right. A style needs to be defined and done well. Page 8 PAGE 5 OF 11 MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 25, 2025 Chair Quintana The mass and scale changes the character of the street. Vice Chair Queiroz Bigger homes have been allowed on other historic streets. People want bigger homes. It should be allowed as long as it is done well. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager Whatever style is chosen, do it well and right and be sensitive to the mass and scale of the neighborhood. Return to Item 3. The applicant is present. 3. Consider a Request for Approval to Construct Exterior Alterations (Window Replacement) to an Existing Single-Family Residence on Property Zoned R-1:8. Located at 121 Loma Alta Avenue. APN 532-29-083.

Located at 68 Broadway. APN 510-45-085. Request for Review HS-25- 031. Exempt Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301: Existing Facilities. Property Owner/Applicant: Marc Dubresson. Project Planner: Samina Merchant. Samina Merchant, Project Planner, presented the staff report. Page 9 PAGE 6 OF 11 MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 25, 2025 Opened Public Comment. Committee members asked questions of Staff. Chair Quintana The front and west side of the house is painted white. Was that original? In the 1980’s, it was in the Historic district in 1980 when the modifications were done. A piece of paper showed crossed out that the siding was to be replaced with matching brick and stucco. How do we apply those considerations? We don’t know what was approved. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager Note that the 2011 application says to match the existing brick and stucco. Erin Walters, Senior Planner On page 289, there is a description of the history of Broadway. In the fourth paragraph it describes that they reoriented the house to face Main Street. In 1987 they added to the right with an external passage. It suffered extensive damage during the earthquake. Expanded the kitchen and created a new master suite. Marc Dubresson, Applicant/Owner They are proposing to modify the rear of the house. It will be respectful of the home’s historic character and the integrity of the surrounding neighborhood. It is not visible from the street or surrounding properties. This is a private part of the lot. Over the year, they thoughtfully separated the lot from the street, installed a pool, created a patio, and built a patio cover structure. They want to widen the rear opening from the kitchen to the garden and pool area. They want to center the doorway for better architectural balance and install a beautiful color stacking door system. All the brickwork and detailing will be retained with matching materials. The practical purpose is to increase the natural light into the currently dark kitchen. These updates will protect what is publicly visible and historically significant while providing modern comforts. In the back, there is stucco, brick and painted wood. In the northern part of Brittany sometimes you will see all brick, but there is usually white stucco and wood. Their house has a mix of these two Normandy styles. They would like to carry on with the brickwork. They would center the window and reuse the brick. On the side it is white stucco. They would match was there. It was painted white when they bought the house. They would prefer to see the wood showing but only if they were doing a full renovation to the front and back. Questions for the Applicant Vice Chair Queiroz Do you plan to keep the wood band above the new door? Page 10 PAGE 7 OF 11 MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 25, 2025 Marc Dubresson, Applicant/Owner Yes, to center the design over the opening. Most of the budget is going towards installing a beam. Behind the band will be a steel beam to hold the house up. Closed Public Comment. Committee members discussed the matter. Vice Chair Queiroz Unless a home has special designation, homeowners should be able to add these kinds of doors to the back of the home. The design looks nice. I’m in support of the proposal. Committee asked question of Staff Chair Quintana When was Broadway designated as a historic district? Was this a landmark house? Sean Mullin, Planning Manager Not sure. Some homes were designated as landmarks before the districts became historic. Those individual designations were rescinded when the districts became adopted as historic. Don’t know if this was a landmark. This is a contributor. Chair Quintana This is a unique house in Los Gatos. The architectural style is unique. It was built and designed by the owners. It deserves landmark designation. We need to consider both the visible and not visible portions of the home. Not opposed to adding natural light, but the style of the door, that is folding and has clear glass from top to bottom, it totally changes the exterior of the back of this spectacular house. Commissioner Burnett Are the doors clear glass from top to bottom? Could they find folding doors that have lites? Chair Quintana The other doors in the house are more in-keeping with the house. It is the character and scale of the doors. Vice Chair Queiroz There are other homes in the Almond Grove that have those kinds of doors. Chair Quintana Yes, but this home is of a different level of historic significance. Page 11 PAGE 8 OF 11 MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 25, 2025 Commissioner Burnett It looks modern. Marc Dubresson, Applicant/Owner Proposing modernization of the rear. The patio is a modern touch but what we enjoy. Those windows don’t come in French door style. Matching the colors and materials. Increasing the brick on both sides to make it part of the design of the house. Vice Chair Queiroz There are other versions available. They picked the least modern style offered by the company. MOTION: Motion by Vice Chair Queiroz to forward a recommendation of approval of the above request to the Community Development Director. There was no second. VOTE: Motion fails. Committee members discussed the matter. Vice Chair Queiroz Look into some other brands or can be custom made. Jay Plett works with a window company called Bend Rivers that makes a window that you should investigate. Commissioner Burnett Recommend looking at another vendor for options. Chair Quintana The house is very special. Prefer doors with panes. Folding doors are much wider and dominating. Commissioner Burnett They can try another type of door with screens for indoor and outdoor effects. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager Different members say that it is not the folding operation of the door, but the style, portion of glass, and scale that is the concern. Suggest that the applicant explore other manufacturers to see if they can find other doors with more lites or have something made. The Committee can ask the applicant if they want a recommendation or have a continuance to do some more research and come back in August Opened Public Comment. Page 12 PAGE 9 OF 11 MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 25, 2025 Marc Dubresson, Applicant/Owner They have not found a design that would match their Normandy style. They prefer to get a recommendation instead of a continuance. Closed Public Comment. MOTION: Motion by Chair Quintana to forward a recommendation of denial of the above request to the Community Development Director. Cannot make the consideration that it will not adversely affect the exterior architectural characteristics or other features of the property. Seconded by Commissioner Burnett. VOTE: Motion passed 2-1 with Vice Chair Queiroz dissenting. OTHER BUSINESS (Up to three minutes may be allotted to each speaker on any of the following items.) 6.

Applicant: Andres Johnson. Project Planner: Samina Merchant. Samina Merchant, Project Planner, presented the staff report Opened public comment. Andres Johnson, Applicant; Michael Phung and Monique Pham, Owner Proposing a second story in the back. They are going with a Spanish style. The goal and intent are to incorporate elements that enhance that style such as brackets and recessed arches. The owners love the neighborhood, schools and historic area. They were not sure of the house’s style. They went with Spanish because that’s what they thought it was. They are open to the Committee’s suggestions. They want it to look like it belongs on the street. They intend to have one primary bedroom downstairs for their older parents. Committee members asked questions of the applicant. Andres Johnson, Applicant; Michael Phung and Monique Pham, Owner They were trying to follow the Design Guidelines and thought it should not be on the historical front part of the house. Page 13 PAGE 10 OF 11 MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 25, 2025 Closed public comment. Committee asked questions of Staff. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager There is nothing in the Town Code that prohibits an addition being made in the front but can understand why they thought that. Chair Quintana In practice, we’d like to see addition set back, but not all the way back. This would better integrate with the existing house. Commissioner Burnett The design is very nice. Chair Quintana Open to a redesign that brings the addition forward. It works with a one-story house. Would like to see it embellished with more Spanish style in front of the house. 7. Consider Potential Communications from the Historic Preservation Committee to the Town Council Regarding a Work Plan. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager, presented the staff report Members can individually contact the Council. As an alternative, staff recommends that a member of the Committee compose a letter. The letter can then be agendized, discussed, approved, and presented to the Council. Committee members discussed the matter. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager Create a simple framework and have the other members bring their ideas to the meeting. Do not discuss outside a meeting because of the Brown Act. There should be no blind copying or emails. Only two people should work on it outside the meeting. Have other members individually think of what they want to add and bring them agendized public hearing meeting. Having a special meeting to discuss the letter is a good idea. REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Sean Mullin, Planning Manager The recommendations of the Committee have been reflected in the CDD Directors decisions. The denial of removal for Loma Street has been appealed. It will come before the Planning Commission in August. Page 14 PAGE 11 OF 11 MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 25, 2025 Committee members asked questions of staff. Sean Mullin, Planning Manager Some items can take years to resolve and track, instead, staff can report on any appealed decisions or significant happenings. COMMITTEE MATTERS None.

Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 ● 408-354-6874 www.losgatosca.gov TOWN OF LOS GATOS HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE REPORT MEETING DATE: 08/27/2025 ITEM NO: 2 DATE: August 22, 2025 TO: Historic Preservation Committee FROM: Joel Paulson, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Consider a Request for Approval to Construct Exterior Alterations to an Existing Contributing Single-Family Residence in the Broadway Historic District on Property Zoned R-1D:LHP. Located at 68 Broadway. APN 510-45- 085. Request for Review HS-25-035. Exempt Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301: Existing Facilities. Property Owner/Applicant: Marc Dubresson. Project Planner: Samina Merchant. RECOMMENDATION: Consider a request for approval to construct exterior alterations to an existing contributing single-family residence in the Broadway Historic District on property zoned R-1D:LHP, located at 68 Broadway. PROPERTY DETAILS: 1. Date primary structure was built: 1935 per County Assessor; 1920s per Anne Bloomfield Survey 2. Bloomfield Preliminary Rating: “+” Historic and intact or worthy of special note 3. Does property have an LHP Overlay? Yes 4. Is structure in a historic district? Yes, Broadway Historic District 5. If yes, is it a contributor? Yes 6. Findings required? No 7. Considerations required? Yes BACKGROUND: The Santa Clara County Assessor’s Database lists a construction date of 1935 for the existing residence. The 1990 Anne Bloomfield Survey describes the residence as being built in the ‘Hansel & Gretel’ style with an estimated construction date of the 1920s (Attachment 1). The Bloomfield Survey rates the residence as historic and intact or worthy of special note. The Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps show that the footprint of the residence remained consistent Page 17 PAGE 2 OF 3 SUBJECT: 68 Broadway/ HS-25-035 DATE: August 22, 2025 between 1928 and 1956 (Attachment 2). The applicant submitted documents based on their findings from the research worksheet, which are included in Attachments 3 and 4. The following is a summary of the Town Records in Attachment 5: 1. 1984: M-84-22 – Subdivision and Lot Line Adjustment resulting in four separate lots seen today as 72 and 68 Broadway and 305 and 307 W Main Street; 2. 1988: S-88-22 – Living area expansion on right side; 3. 1989 – Earthquake damage repairs included remodeling the home with a larger kitchen, master suite, traditional staircase, reuse of fallen brick for patio and walkways, a new pool, and cellar; 4. 1992 - HPC approval to construct a carport; and 5. 2011: HS-11-035 - HPC approved renovations to the front elevation to remove an existing door and replace it with a window to match the existing. On June 25, 2025, the Committee was unable to make the required considerations pursuant to Section 29.80.290 of the Town Code and recommended denial of the request to construct exterior alterations to an existing contributing single-family residence in the Broadway Historic District to the Community Development Director. The request was denied by the Community Development Director on June 26, 2025. DISCUSSION: On June 25, 2025, the Committee reviewed a request to construct exterior alterations, including replacing the existing aluminum sliding door on the rear elevation with a new 16-foot- wide folding door system. The Committee opined that the proposed door’s style and scale differed from the style of the existing windows, and that the proposed work would adversely affect the exterior architectural characteristics or other features of the property. The Committee recommended exploring custom door manufacturers that offer options with divided lites to give the door proportionality and compatibility with the existing facade while still providing the open light panel view. A denial of the proposal, as submitted, was recommended. The applicant subsequently submitted revised project plans and a justification letter with the same general scope, requesting to remodel a portion of the first-floor area within the existing building footprint, but featuring a different rear door in response to the Committee’s recommendations (Attachments 3 and 7). The updated proposal includes replacing the existing aluminum sliding door on the rear elevation with a new 16-foot-wide folding door system from Bend River Sash and Door Company (Attachment 8, Sheet D.2). The proposed wood door features divided lites and would be painted to match the existing doors and windows to remain and the existing trellis at the rear patio. On the northwest (left side) elevation, two existing windows would be removed and replaced with one new wood window to match the existing windows in style and color (Attachment 8, Sheet D.1). All trims would match the original style, and the existing stucco siding and horizontal brick veneer would remain in place. Page 18 PAGE 3 OF 3 SUBJECT: 68 Broadway/ HS-25-035 DATE: August 22, 2025 CONCLUSION: The applicant is requesting approval to construct exterior alterations to an existing contributing single-family residence in the Broadway Historic District on property zoned R-1D:LHP. Should the Committee find merit in the request, a recommendation of approval would be forwarded to the Community Development Director. The application would continue through the Building Permit process and would not return to the Committee. CONSIDERATIONS: 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.

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.

Metal used as flashing, screening, gutters, and utility services and other traditional elements are acceptable. •Composite, synthetic, metal, vinyl, plastic or fabricated/ imitation wood products, painted brick or imitation used brick will generally not be approved. However, some ex- ceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis when the decision making body determines that the replacement is consistent with the appearance of the original material, and that a lay person would be unlikely to discern the difference. The burden of proof will reside with the applicant. Mate- rial samples, photographs and specific locations where the material may be seen in use will all assist in the evaluation of alternative materials. •The decision making body may approve an acceptable alter- native to the original building material if use of the original material is not feasible due to unreasonable cost and com- mercial availability, or health and safety considerations. 4.8.3 Doors •Original doors should be retained and restored. •New replacement doors for Victorians should not be flush, but of raised or flat panel design. •Front doors generally should be painted, not stained. Not applicable to Mission Revival/Mediterranean style structures. •Screened doors should be real wood framed of simple de- sign unless patterns can be shown to fit the existing style. 4.8.4 Windows and Glass in doors •Original windows, glass and window decorations should be retained and restored. •Replacement of only the deteriorated portions of the win- dows is recommended rather than the replacement of the entire window. •New or replacement windows should be wood-sashed and muntined if applicable. •Sills, lintels, frames, sashes, muntins, and all decorations should be identically replaced. •All elements of new windows should be identical in size, shape, proportion, and dimensions as the original windows of the building, or consistent with traditional sizes, propor- tions and dimensions of buildings of the same architectural style, design and era. •Windows should be constructed of real glass, and window Simulated divided lite windows may be considered on a case-by-case basis True divided lite windows are encouraged when appropriate to the original structure Original doors and windows should be retained and repaired ATTACHMENT 7 Page 69 Residential Design Guidelines 49 Town of Los Gatos HISTORIC RESOURCES4 frames should be constructed of real wood - not vinyl, metal or plastic.

Simulated Divided Lite windows are permitted when the details of the window provide projecting muntin elements on the exterior and interior of the window along with a spacer muntin between the panes of glass (See example to the left). • New arched, angled, and/or octagonal windows are discour- aged. • Large expanses of blank exterior walls without windows are discouraged. 4.8.5 Bay Windows • Size, shape, proportion, dimension, type of foundation, and, roof material and style of bay windows, whether restored or of new construction, should be identical to the original or existing bay windows of the structure. • New bay windows may be added to the building in loca- tions where no bay windows previously existed. These new bay windows should be identical to and replicate the style, design, size, shape and proportion, type of foundation and roof of other bay windows existing on structure. If there are no existing bay windows on the structure, new bay windows should be built in the same size, shape, dimension, propor- tions, material and type of foundation and roof typical of the architectural style. Metal frame kitchen garden windows are prohibited. • Generally, traditional architectural styles will require either a foundation to the ground or substantial supporting brackets below a bay window. Floating windows without support, as shown for the bow bay window example to the right, are rarely appropriate. • New bay windows are permitted only when the applicant proves to the Deciding Body that they are consistent with existing style, design and character of the structure. 4.8.6 Chimneys • Wood-framed chimneys are prohibited unless their exteri- ors are covered with brick or river rock veneers.

Located at 16760 Magneson Loop. APN 523-06-015. Request for Review Application PHST-25-014. Exempt Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301: Existing Facilities. Property Owner/Applicant: Mickael Forsman. Project Planner: Maria Chavarin. RECOMMENDATION: Consider a request for approval to construct exterior alterations (window replacement) to an existing pre-1941 single-family residence on property zoned R-1:8, located at 16760 Magneson Loop. PROPERTY DETAILS: 1. Date primary structure was built: 1932 per County Assessor; 1930’s per Bloomfield Survey 2. Bloomfield Preliminary Rating: “+” Historic and intact or worthy of special note 3. Does property have an LHP Overlay? No 4. Is structure in a historic district? N/A 5. If yes, is it a contributor? N/A 6. Findings required? No 7. Considerations required? Yes BACKGROUND: The subject property is located on the south side of Magneson Loop, just east of Los Gatos Blvd. The County Assessor indicates a construction date of 1932. The Bloomfield Survey estimates the construction date as the 1930s, providing a preliminary rating of Historic and intact or worthy of special note (Attachment 1). Page 79 PAGE 2 OF 4 SUBJECT: 16760 Magneson Loop/PHST-25-014 DATE: August 22, 2025 DISCUSSION: The applicant submitted a Letter of Justification (Attachment 2) requesting approval to replace 14 existing windows. The photos and plans (Attachments 3 and 5) provided by the applicant indicate that 14 windows will be replaced. The majority of the existing wood windows would be replaced with Fibrex-wood composite windows with the exception of windows numbered 114 through 116, which would be aluminum-clad wood windows. Some of the window types are proposed to change. Below is a summary of the changes to the window types (Attachment 4) and materials.

Each architectural style generally has one or two window types that are traditional to the style. Double hung windows, for example, are common features of Victorian and Craftsman Styles while casement windows are seen frequently in Mission and Spanish Eclectic styles 3.7.3 Match window materials to the architectural style and to the surrounding neighborhood • Wood windows are common in Los Gatos. Wood is still the desired choice for styles that traditionally used wood. However, today there are some window materials, such as vinyl clad wood windows that are not noticeably different from wood at a short distance. 3.7.4 Design the windows with attention to matching the traditional details of the architectural style • Divided lights (i.e., larger window panes broken up into smaller pieces) are common in many home styles found in Los Gatos. Use either vertical or square proportions for the smaller window elements. Be consistent in the proportions (i.e., the ratio of the horizontal to the vertical dimension) of the smaller panes. Do not use snap in flat grids to simulate divided lights. Use either true divided lights or one of the newer window systems that have dimensional muntins on both the exterior and interior of the glass along with a spacer muntin between the panes of glass. Use consistently for windows on all sides of the house. 4.8.2 Building Materials • Composite, synthetic, metal, vinyl, plastic or fabricated/ imitation wood products, painted brick or imitation used brick will generally not be approved. However, some ex- ceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis when the decision-making body determines that the replacement is consistent with the appearance of the original material, and that a lay person would be unlikely to discern the difference. The burden of proof will reside with the applicant. Material samples, photographs, and specific locations where the material may be seen in use will all assist in the evaluation of alternative materials. Page 81 PAGE 4 OF 4 SUBJECT: 16760 Magneson Loop/PHST-25-014 DATE: August 22, 2025 4.8.4 Windows and Glass in doors • Windows should be constructed of real glass, and window frames should be constructed of real wood - not vinyl, metal, or plastic. Wood sashes may be vinyl or metal clad if the window frame and dressing is designed consistent with the historic context of the building. The proposed Fibrex-wood composite material was not available when the Guidelines were written, and it is silent on its use. The Guidelines emphasize the use of wood windows but allow exceptions for alternative materials when they are not noticeably different from wood at a short distance, found to be consistent with the historic context, and consistent with the appearance of the original material where it would be unlikely to discern the difference. CONSIDERATIONS: 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. Applications shall not be granted unless: __X__ 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. CONCLUSION: The applicant requests approval to replace 14 existing wood windows in varying styles, 11 of which would be with Fibrex-wood composite windows and three would be aluminum-clad wood windows (Attachments 2 and 5). Should the Committee find merit in the request, a recommendation of approval would be forwarded to the Community Development Director, and the project would be completed with a Building Permit. The project would not return to the Committee. Page 82 PAGE 5 OF 4 SUBJECT: 16760 Magneson Loop/PHST-25-014 DATE: August 22, 2025 ATTACHMENTS: 1. 1990 Anne Bloomfield Survey 2.

Main Street  Los Gatos, CA 95030 RE: Request for Window Replacement Without Grilles – Justification Letter for 16760 Magneson Loop To Whom It May Concern, I am writing on behalf of the homeowner at the above property to respectfully request approval for the replacement of the home’s windows using Andersen Acclaim composite units without grilles. These windows have a true wood-like appearance, a ﬂat ﬁnish, and mortise-style joints to maintain historical integrity while improving energy efﬁciency and longevity. This proposal ATTACHMENT 2 Page 87 seeks to remove the existing grilles, which were likely not part of the home’s original design. Architectural Background This home is located within a small cluster of storybook- style homes constructed between the 1920s and late 1930s, making them eligible under Los Gatos’s “built before 1941” criteria. These whimsical, European-inspired homes feature dramatic rooﬂines, asymmetrical façades, and charming handcrafted details. The window designs used in this style historically varied—many were large, clear-paned, and intentionally lacked divided lights to balance the visual complexity of the home’s silhouette and textured materials. While it is true that many whimsical Tudor and storybook homes from this era featured ornate leaded glass or divided lights, it is also important to note that the windows being replaced on this property are not original. The one window on the front façade that is both architecturally signiﬁcant and features intricate leaded glass will be retained. This element is one of the few remaining examples of such craftsmanship on the street and helps preserve the historic character of the home. 16760 Magneson Loop (replacement in question - leaded glass remains) Page 88 Neighborhood Precedent A walk-through visual survey of Magneson Loop conﬁrms the presence of multiple nearby homes that feature grille- free window replacements. Most notably: -Directly next door, the adjacent home features modern replacement windows without grilles. (16750 Magneson Loop)   - Directly across the street, another home of similar style and age also features clear-pane windows without grid patterns. (16771 Magneson Loop) These examples establish a clear and recent precedent for gridless windows within this immediate architectural cluster. Both homes preserve the character and charm of Page 89 the neighborhood while opting for simpler, historically appropriate glazing patterns. 16750 Magneson Loop - Nextdoor Neighbor has replaced with completely clear glass. 16750 Magneson Loop - Close Up Next Door 160760 Magneson Loop - Directly Across the Street Page 90 160760 Magneson Loop - Directly Across the Street These wood pocket, wood core frames seem to be very likely original Preservation of Style and Intent Although the current windows on the subject property do contain grilles, these are later additions, inconsistent with some of the original construction trends. The homeowner’s choice to return to clean, grille-free windows—while retaining the original leaded-glass front window—reﬂects a sensitive and historically aligned approach to restoration. Page 91 The proposed Andersen Acclaim units deliver exceptional visual ﬁdelity to wood while meeting today’s performance standards. This ensures material and aesthetic compatibility with the historic nature of the home and surrounding area. Summary Checklist of Justification Points - ✅ Architectural style (storybook/whimsical) often featured leaded glass or clear-paned windows  - ✅ Windows being replaced are not original; front façade leaded glass window will remain  - ✅ Historical reference supports gridless windows in homes of this vintage (1920s–30s) (living Places)  - ✅ Two neighboring homes—one next door and one across the street—have recently installed gridless window replacements  - ✅ Proposed windows maintain appropriate material appearance and visual quality  We respectfully request that the Planning Department to consider and approve this proposal based on the neighborhood context, architectural accuracy, and the clear visual precedent set by immediate neighbors. Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration. Sincerely,  Shiloh Witcosky  On behalf of Mickael Forsman  Page 92 Switcosky@renewalbayarea.com  (408) 564-9341 Page 93 To the Esteemed Members of the Los Gatos Historical Preservation Committee, Subject: Request for Approval to Modify Window Grids at 16760 Magneson Loop, Los Gatos I am writing to respectfully request your committee's consideration and approval for a proposed modification to certain windows at my residence located at 16760 Magneson Loop in Los Gatos. As you are aware, my home, a beautiful white Tudor- style house built in the 1930s, is recognized as a historically significant property within our cherished community. I deeply value and am committed to preserving the unique character and historical integrity that defines my home and contributes to the rich heritage of Los Gatos. My proposal involves the removal of the decorative grids from a select few windows on the property. Specifically, I am seeking to remove the grids from one large window in the living room, which directly faces the street, and five windows on the side of the house that are partially visible from the street. The primary motivation for this request stems from a desire to enhance the aesthetic clarity and natural light within these specific interior spaces, while simultaneously refining the exterior presentation of these particular windows. Upon careful consideration of the house's original architectural intent and the evolution of its design over time, I believe that the grids on these specific windows, particularly the large living room window, introduce a visual busyness that detracts from the elegant simplicity and expansive views that the Tudor style can also embody. Removing them will allow for a more unobstructed connection with the surrounding landscape, bringing more natural light into the living areas and creating a more harmonious visual flow from both inside and out. It is crucial to emphasize that this request is highly selective and thoughtfully considered. I am fully committed to retaining the distinctive historical elements of my home. To that end, I will be preserving the most historically styled window, featuring its original leaded grids, which also faces directly onto the street. This iconic window will continue to serve as a prominent historical feature, ensuring that the quintessential Tudor character of the facade remains intact and celebrated. My aim is not to diminish the historical value of the property, but rather to subtly refine certain aspects in a manner that I believe will enhance its overall beauty and livability, while still honoring its architectural heritage. I understand and respect the vital role the Historical Preservation Committee plays in safeguarding Los Gatos's unique architectural legacy. I am confident that these Page 94 proposed changes, by focusing on specific windows and deliberately preserving the most significant historical elements, will contribute positively to the property's appearance without compromising its historical designation. I am available to provide any further information, architectural drawings, or to meet with the committee at your earliest convenience to discuss this request in more detail. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important matter.

Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 ● 408-354-6874 www.losgatosca.gov TOWN OF LOS GATOS HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE REPORT MEETING DATE: 08/27/2025 ITEM NO: 4 DATE: August 22, 2025 TO: Historic Preservation Committee FROM: Joel Paulson, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Consider a Request to Remove a Pre-1941 Property from the Historic Resources Inventory for Property Zoned R-1D. Located at 24 Pleasant Street. APN 529-26-016. Request for Review PHST-25-013. Exempt Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061 (b)(3). Property Owner/Applicant: Swapnil Raut and Rashmi Jadhav. Project Planner: Suray Nathan. RECOMMENDATION: Consider a request to remove a pre-1941 property from the Historic Resources Inventory for a property zoned R-1D located at 24 Pleasant Street. PROPERTY DETAILS: 1. Date primary structure was built: 1926 per County Assessor 2. Bloomfield Preliminary Rating: , historic & some altered, but still a contributor to the district if there is one 3. Does property have an LHP Overlay? No 4. Is structure in a historic district? No 5. If yes, is it a contributor? N/A 6. Findings required? Yes 7. Considerations required? No Page 145 PAGE 2 OF 3 SUBJECT: 24 Pleasant Street/ PHST-25-013 DATE: August 22, 2025 DISCUSSION: The applicant is requesting approval to remove the pre-1941 residence from the Historic Resources Inventory. The Santa Clara County Assessor’s Database lists a construction date of 1926, and the house first appears on the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps in 1928 (Attachment 1). The property is not within a historic district or LHP overlay, but it is included in the 1990 Anne Bloomfield Survey (Attachment 2). The applicant provided a Letter of Justification for the requested removal of a Mediterranean Revival-style house (Attachment 3) that includes Town records showing some alterations and additions, and photos of the current residence. The applicant’s research and Town records show a building permit to construct a bedroom and garage in 1957 (Attachment 3, page 12); however, no plans for the addition are found in the Town records. Town records also indicate that on February 14, 2000, the Building Division approved the kitchen and bath remodeling, as well as the installation of all new windows into existing openings without requiring a header change, except for the two patio doors at the rear (Attachment 3, page 35). CONCLUSION: Should the Committee find that the structure has no historic significance or architectural merit, a recommendation of approval of the request to remove the property from the Historic Resources Inventory would be forwarded to the Community Development Director. Once approved by the Director, any proposed alterations would not return to the Committee. FINDINGS: A. Findings - related to a request for a determination that a pre-1941 primary structure has no historic significance or architectural merit. In evaluating a request for a determination of historic significance or architectural merit, the Historic Preservation Committee shall consider the following: 1. The structure is not associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the Town; 2. No Significant persons are associated with the site; 3. There are no distinctive characteristics of type, period or method of construction or representation of work of a master; 4. The structure does not yield information to Town history; or 5. The integrity has been compromised such that the structure no longer has the potential to convey significance.

Main St Date: July 15 th , 2025 Los Gatos, CA 95030 24 Pleasant St - Request to Remove from Historic Register Dear Members of the Historic Preservation Committee, We are writing to formally request that our property, located at 24 Pleasant Street, be removed from the Town of Los Gatos Historic Registry. After careful research and consideration, we believe the property no longer meets the criteria for continued historic designation. Although it was originally included due to its pre-1941 construction date, we respectfully submit that it lacks the architectural integrity, cultural significance, and historical relevance necessary to justify its continued inclusion on the registry. Key Points Supporting the Request: 1. Research Findings (Conducted with Librarian Shawnte Santos at the Los Gatos Library): ● The property is not part of the Historic Property Research Collection. ● The property address is not in a Historic District and does not have a LHP Overlay. ● The structure does not yield information to Town history; It is not recognized in the 1989 Ann Bloomfield Architectural Survey forms as a contributing or significant structure. ● The property is not mentioned on the Bell Ringers list. ● The property structure does not have known associations with historically significant individuals or events to the town. ● The 1941 Tax Assessment and Santa Clara County historic records make no references to Pleasant Street as historically designated. ● No historically significant individuals appear to be associated with the property. Early owners — including Alexander E. P., W.H. Moron, Bert Homes, J.R. Gibson, Douglas Gravelle, Mrs. Dorothy McKevitt, and Michael Blackt — do not have any known ties to notable historical events or contributions. 2.Significant Alterations Over Time: ● The integrity of the structure has been compromised as the original front and side windows have been replaced. ● A substantial rear addition has been built, including an extra bedroom and expanded living area. ● The current roofline and exterior appearance no longer reflect the original architectural style. In Closing: We greatly value the rich history and character of Los Gatos and remain committed to maintaining the charm and aesthetic of the neighborhood. Our request is simply to allow us the flexibility to make thoughtful updates that support our family’s needs, while staying aligned with the community’s visual traditions. We appreciate your time and consideration, and we are happy to provide any additional documentation or participate in further discussion as needed. Sincerely, Swapnil Raut & Rashmi Jadhav ATTACHMENT 3 Page 155 1929 McMillan and McMillan official map of Santa Clara County does not show Pleasant St on the map: Page 156 Page 157 Page 158 Page 159 Page 160 Page 161 Page 162 Page 163 Page 164 Page 165 Page 166 Page 167 Page 168 Page 169 Page 170 Page 171 Page 172 Page 173 Page 174 Page 175 Page 176 Page 177 Page 178 Page 179 Page 180 Page 181 Page 182 Page 183 Page 184 Page 185 Page 186 Page 187 Page 188 Page 189 Page 190 PREPARED BY: Samina Merchant Associate Planner 110 E.

Located at 245 Los Gatos Boulevard. APN 529-24-024. Request for Review Application PHST-25-011. Exempt Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301: Existing Facilities. Property Owner: Michael Phung. Applicant: Andres Johnson. Project Planner: Samina Merchant. RECOMMENDATION: Consider a request for preliminary review to construct a new second-story addition and exterior alterations to an existing pre-1941 single-family residence on property zoned R-1D, located at 245 Los Gatos Boulevard. DISCUSSION: On June 25, 2025, the Committee considered proposed exterior alterations and additions to an existing pre-1941 single-family residence (Attachment 1). The Committee provided the following feedback:  Reposition the second-story addition closer to the front and create a balanced massing with the existing single-story residence to achieve a unified overall appearance; and  Incorporate additional embellishments to support the architectural style. The applicant submitted revised plans and a letter summarizing their response to the Committee’s direction (Attachment 2). The revised plans include the following modifications:  Forward shift of the second-story addition to improve massing and integration with the existing residence while retaining the original façade; and  Addition of Spanish/Mission Revival features: roofline articulation (including corbels and clay roof tiles), tile vents, colonial-style windows, decorative ironwork, and stucco finishes. Page 191 PAGE 2 OF 2 SUBJECT: 245 Los Gatos Boulevard/ PHST-25-011 DATE: August 22, 2025 CONSIDERATIONS: 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. Applications shall not be granted unless: __X__ 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. B. Residential Design Guidelines. Section 3.9 of the Town’s Residential Design Guidelines offers recommendations for construction of additions to existing residences (Attachment 7 of Exhibit 1, June 25, 2025 Historic Preservation Committee Staff Report). CONCLUSION: The applicant requests a preliminary review to construct a new second-story addition and exterior alterations to an existing pre-1941 single-family residence on property zoned R-1D, located at 245 Los Gatos Boulevard. A new second-story addition, if not triggering a technical demolition, would be processed under a future Minor Residential Development application. This application would return to the Committee for a formal recommendation to be forwarded to the Community Development Director and the application would continue through the Minor Residential Development process.

The 1990 Anne Bloomfield Survey describes the residence as being built in a Bungalow style with an estimated construction date of the 1920s (Attachment 1). The Bloomfield Survey rates the residence as historic and intact or worthy of special note. EXHIBIT 1Page 193 PAGE 2 OF 4 SUBJECT: 245 Los Gatos Boulevard/ PHST-25-011 DATE: June 20, 2025 The Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps do not provide coverage for the property until 1928. The footprint of the residence remains consistent between the 1928 and the 1956 maps (Attachment 2). Town records include a 2022 Building Permit for the demolition of unpermitted and permitted areas, construction of a new addition, and exterior remodel (Attachment 3). DISCUSSION: The applicant provided a Letter of Justification for the proposed project and photos of the existing residence (Attachments 4 and 5). The applicant is requesting a preliminary review by the Committee to provide feedback on the proposed second-story addition and exterior alterations to the existing home (Attachment 6). The project proposes a 560-square-foot second-story addition located at the rear (western elevation) of the existing one-story home. First-floor improvements include an interior remodel and exterior modifications. The new second floor would accommodate two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The existing one-story home is 14 feet two inches tall and features a low-pitched composite shingle roof. It includes overhanging eaves with the front eave line finished in barrel tiles. The proposed second story would incorporate a similar roof style, increasing the maximum building height to 24 feet one inch. Existing materials include textured stucco, double-hung windows, and composite shingles. The proposed design would match these materials and introduce clay roof tiles. Information regarding window and door materials was not provided for this preliminary review. CONSIDERATIONS: 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. Applications shall not be granted unless: __X__ 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. B.Residential Design Guidelines. Section 3.9 of the Town’s Residential Design Guidelines offers recommendations for construction of additions to existing residences (Attachment 7). Page 194 PAGE 3 OF 4 SUBJECT: 245 Los Gatos Boulevard/ PHST-25-011 DATE: June 20, 2025 CONCLUSION: Consider a request for preliminary review to construct a new second-story addition and exterior alterations to an existing pre-1941 single-family residence on property zoned R-1D, located at 245 Los Gatos Boulevard. A new second-story addition, if not triggering a technical demolition, is processed under a Minor Residential Development application. This application would return to the Committee for a formal recommendation to be forwarded to the Community Development Director and the application would continue through the Minor Residential Development process.

Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 Subject: Request for Review and Approval – Second Story Addition at 245 Los Gatos Boulevard Dear Members of the Historic Preservation Committee, I am writing to formally request review and approval for a proposed second-story addition to the residence located at 245 Los Gatos Boulevard. This property is listed as a contributing structure in the Los Gatos Historic Resources Inventory; however, according to the historical assessment prepared by Anne Bloomfield, the portion of the home where the addition is planned is not deemed historically significant. The proposed addition is situated at the rear of the home, away from the primary historical facade, and has been carefully designed to be consistent with and complementary to the presumed original architectural style of the home—a Spanish-style bungalow. Our intent is to preserve and enhance the home’s historic character while making thoughtful improvements that support the long-term livability of the property. We understand and respect the importance of maintaining the architectural integrity of the neighborhood and are committed to ensuring that all additions are in harmony with the historic context of the area. The design incorporates stylistic features in keeping with the home's original period and scale, while maintaining a clear visual distinction between the original structure and the new work, in accordance with historic preservation best practices. Please find attached the historical research documentation by Anne Bloomfield and preliminary drawings of the proposed addition for your consideration. We welcome any guidance or recommendations the Committee may have to ensure the project aligns with preservation goals. dwelling labdesign@dwelling-lab.comdwelling-lab.com(312) 952-9680 w. dwelling-lab.com | e. design@dwelling-lab.com | p. 312.952.9680 | a. 21 El Caminito, Walnut Creek, CA 94598 Sincerely, Neil Ginty Founder & Principal Architect M.A., B.Arch, NCARB, Registered Architect ATTACHMENT 4 Page 213 This Page Intentionally Left Blank Page 214 Existing Residence Photographs Front (East) Page 215 Existing Residence Photographs Side (South) Page 216 Existing Residence Photographs Rear Page 217 Existing Residence Photographs Side (North side looking towards east) Page 218 Existing Residence Photographs Side (North side looking towards east) Page 219 ABBREVIATIONS &AND @ AT A.B.ANCHOR BOLT A.C.AIR CONDITIONING ACOUST.

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 7 Page 224 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 Page 225 This Page Intentionally Left Blank Page 226 dwelling labdesign@dwelling-lab.comdwelling-lab.com(312) 952-9680 w. dwelling-lab.com | e. design@dwelling-lab.com | p. 312.952.9680 | a. 21 El Caminito, Walnut Creek, CA 94598 Sincerely, Neil Ginty Founder & Principal Architect M.A., B.Arch, NCARB, Registered Architect July 28, 2025 Historic Preservation CommitteeTown of Los Gatos 110 E. Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 RE: Response to Comments on Second Story Addition Proposal – 245 LosGatos Blvd. Dear Members of the Historic Preservation Committee, Thank you for your thoughtful review of our proposed second-story addition and foryour comments regarding ways to improve its integration with the existingresidence. We appreciate your suggestion to move the second-story addition forward tocreate a more cohesive relationship with the original structure. We have revisitedour design with this in mind and are exploring adjustments that will bring theaddition forward in a manner that maintains the integrity of the existing façade while enhancing the architectural unity of the home. Additionally, we recognize the importance of maintaining and reinforcing theSpanish/Mission Revival character of the property. In response to yourrecommendation, we are incorporating additional stylistic embellishments and details consistent with this architectural language. These include enhanced roofline articulation,tile vents, colonial style windows, decorative ironwork such aslanterns, and appropriate stucco textures and finishes. We are committed to ensuring that the final design aligns with both the historic context of the neighborhood and the guiding principles of the Committee. We look forward to presenting the revised plans for your review and welcome any furtherinput you may have. Thank you again for your guidance and dedication to preserving the character of our community.

Located at 321 Bachman Avenue. APN 510-17-100. Exempt Pursuant to CEQA Section 15301: Existing Facilities. Request for Review Application PHST-25-016. Property Owner: Stanley and Jean Melax. Applicant: Jennifer Kretschmer, AIA. Project Planner: Sean Mullin. RECOMMENDATION: Consider a request for preliminary review to construct an addition with reduced setbacks to an existing noncontributing single-family residence located in the Almond Grove Historic District on nonconforming property zoned R-1D:LHP, located at 321 Bachman Avenue. PROPERTY DETAILS: 1. Date primary structure was built: 1949 per County Assessor’s Database 2. Bloomfield Preliminary Rating: New, probably built since 1950 3. Does property have an LHP Overlay? Yes 4. Is structure in a historic district? Almond Grove Historic District 5. If yes, is it a contributor? No 6. Findings required? No 7. Considerations required? Yes BACKGROUND: The subject property is located on the south side of Bachman Avenue between Massol and Tait Avenues, just west of the alley. The County Assessor reports that the residence was constructed in 1949. The Anne Bloomfield survey notes the structure as new, probably built since 1950. (Attachment 1). Page 233 PAGE 2 OF 3 SUBJECT: 321 Bachman Avenue/PHST-25-016 DATE: August 22, 2025 The residence is present on the 1944 and 1956 Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps (Attachment 2). The footprint of the residence remains consistent between the two dates. Additions and other modifications have been constructed since 1956, as noted below. As provided in Attachment 3, Town records include the following permitted work:  1974: Replacement of windows with a sliding door leading to a new patio deck at the rear of the residence;  1981: Reconstruction of the garage roof to accommodate solar collectors;  1987: Reroof;  1991: Add skylights;  1995: Demolish portions of the residence (467 sf) and garage (198 sf) and construct a new bedroom addition (300 sf) at the left rear of the residence; and  2017: Reroof. DISCUSSION: The applicant provided a Letter of Justification for the proposed project (Attachment 3). The applicant is requesting preliminary review of a proposal to add an attached single-car garage at the rear of the property, opening up to the alley (Attachment 7). A new covered porch supported with square columns would be added to the front elevation, along with a new bay extension with a fiberglass window with wood trim. Another new porch with square columns would be constructed on the left elevation. The applicant indicates that the additions and new detailing are intended to make the residence look more Victorian in style, consistent with other nearby homes (Attachment 4). The Letter of Justification (Attachment 4) discusses future plans to incorporate an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) above the new attached garage, shown in light-line in the development plans (Attachment 7). Any future ADU would be processed ministerially, consistent with State law. Staff notes that the ADU is not the subject of this application and shall not be used as the basis for any feedback provided to the applicant. CONSIDERATIONS: 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. Applications shall not be granted unless: Page 234 PAGE 3 OF 3 SUBJECT: 321 Bachman Avenue/PHST-25-016 DATE: August 22, 2025 _ In historic districts, the proposed work will neither adversely affect the exterior architectural characteristics or other features of the property which is the subject of the application, nor adversely affect its relationship, in terms of harmony and appropriateness, with its surroundings, including neighboring structures, nor adversely affect the character, or the historical, architectural or aesthetic interest or value of the district. B. Residential Design Guidelines Section 3.9 of the Town’s Residential Design Guidelines offers recommendations for construction of additions to existing residences (Attachment 6). CONCLUSION: The applicant is requesting preliminary feedback from the Committee on a proposal to construct an addition with reduced setbacks to an existing noncontributing single-family residence located in the Almond Grove Historic District on nonconforming property zoned R- 1D:LHP, located at 321 Bachman Avenue. Due to the proposed reduced setbacks on the nonconforming property, the project requires Architecture and Site approval. The formal application would be forwarded to the Committee for a recommendation to the deciding body. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Anne Bloomfield Survey 2. Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps Exhibit 3.

Our kids went to Los Gatos schools. When they grew up and moved out, we moved to the Almond Grove neighborhood, to 321 Bachman Avenue in September 2024. We love this quiet historic neighborhood! Our plan for the home is to add an attached single car garage in the back of the property opening to the alley, add an ADU above the garage if possible, and add more historically-inspired elements to the front and side of the house to allow it to fit in better with the other historic homes nearby. We feel that turning the large front window into an (above ground) bay window and adding covered porches to the front and side would accomplish this task. Adding a garage in the back of the house off the alley would allow us to park and charge our electric car and free up a space on the street, as well as provide much needed storage space for this small house. We plan to have the garage, porches, and bay window fit aesthetically with the existing house and add elements to make it look more Victorian style like other houses nearby. We would also like to move our laundry area from the kitchen to the new garage, since the kitchen is small we would rather use the washer/dryer space for kitchen storage instead. If the ADU is not approved, we would like to make the garage as tall as possible to allow for us to have as much attic / loft storage space as possible. The garage will be in the back of the house away from the front street and the garage of our next door neighbor’s house (to the west, at 240 Massol Avenue) is already taller than our house so we hope a garage of the maximum allowable height will be acceptable (see photo of the neighbor's garage later in this document). If the ADU is not approved, we would also like to have a full bathroom in the garage as well, for convenience. The house already has some areas that extend into the easements, but we do not plan to build further into those areas, except for the garage itself. This property is small and non-standard and we plan to apply to get approval to have the garage built closer than 5 feet from the south property line in order to get as much garage space as is allowed. We have noticed other garages and structures for houses backing on to the same alley that are already quite close to their property lines (3 feet or less), so we hope a 3 or 4 feet easement would be an acceptable distance. For example: -231 Tate Avenue has a ‘cottage’ structure next to the alley that looks to be right up against the property line, the fence on the south side is only about a foot from the structure. The cottage was built around 1965 (source: 2005 historic tour brochure). ATTACHMENT 4 Page 299 -225 and 223 Tate Avenue have garages opening to the alley that are only about 3 ft from their fences on the right (south). -217 Tate Avenue has a carport opening to the alley that is only about 3 ft from their fence on the right (south) -The garage for our immediate neighbor’s house (240 Massol) appears to be between about 4ft from our fence at one end but only about 2 ft from our fence at the other. We logged into the computer in the lobby of the LG planning office and looked at what was on file for our own house as well as properties nearby. Details are on later pages in this document but here are the highlights: -1996 Architectural plans for our own house showed that it used to have a garage with a ‘bedroom/loft’ above the garage. This was demolished in 1996 and replaced with a new bedroom and bathroom attached to the main house. We have obtained approval from the architect from 1996 (who is still in business) and attached copies of the plans to this application. -We also found architectural diagrams on file for 312 Bachman (across the street) and 240 Massol (next door), but neither of the diagrams showed easement lines (only property lines). The plans for 240 Massol especially do seem to confirm that the garage is very close to the fence between our two properties and is likely nonconforming (see later pages for details) We did some research at the Los Gatos library as well. Details are in later pages in this document but here are the highlights: -Our house was built in 1939, based on the 1941 Tax Assessment Survey (the survey says the house was 2 years old at the time). This differs from what the real estate listing says (1949). -We think our house used to be part of the property at 240 Massol Avenue, based on the ‘Remodeling’ section of a 1971 survey where the owner said “back property split up and sold to closest property owners”, but it doesn’t give a year. (source: Historic Property Research Collection) We have spoken to our immediate neighbours at 307 Bachman (immediate neighbor to the left (east), across the alley), 240 Massol (immediate neighbor to the right (west)), and 232 Massol (immediate neighbor behind us, backing onto the same alley, we share a fence), and they don’t have any issues with us building an attached garage. Please see the rest of the pages in this document for pictures of nearby houses and more details on the research we did. Thank you for your time considering our application. Let us know if you have any questions. Stanley and Jean Melax 321 Bachman Avenue, Los Gatos CA Page 300 Photos of nearby structures: The garage for our immediate neighbor to the right (240 Massol) is about 4 ft from our shared fence at one end, but only about 2 ft away from our shared fence at the other end: Page 301 The garage at 240 Massol (next door neighbor) is taller than our house: View of the alley, standing next to our house, looking South. Note the first structure, a ‘cottage’ at the back of 231 Tate, is very close to the alley, so probably very close to the property line.

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 6 Page 369 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 Page 370 Page 371 Page 372 Page 373 Page 374 Page 375 Page 376 Page 377 This Page Intentionally Left Blank Page 378
