The only con cern addressed in my review letter o f A pril 29 was that the design of the gas fireplace chimneys are not consistent
with Re sidential Design Guideline 3.10.4. The concerns were addressed by eliminating the chimney o n the right side elevation
and extending the chimney on the left side elevation . My only lingering concern is that the shed roof tran sition b etween the
fireplace firebox and the chimney seem s a bit out of character with the Craftsman Style details at the roof gable ends.

I am co m for table with the substitutio n of shingles for the stucco so long as they are traditional wood shing les rather t ha n
manu fa cture d fi be r cem e nt shingles. And, the use of stone i s al so c onsistent wit h the archi tec tural style a nd the Town's
Residential D esign G uidelines. I have o nly two concerns.
1. The stone column bases seem too small for the architectural style.
2. The use o f corner boards wh ere the shingles turn corners is n ot the best looking detail.
Rrcommmdatiom.
I . lncreme the size ofthl' stone column basrs. Two suggestiom art shown below. Eithrr option would br acceptable.

Subject: Re: 18151 Overlook Road-Revised Plans
Hi Erin
Happy New Year.
I thought about all of the issues you raised during each of my reviews. I am comfortable with the
design as proposed. It is a two-story house between two one-story homes, but if one looks at the
streetscape drawing, there is an alternation of one and two-story homes along this street front,
and those existing conditions do not seem awkward to my eye. The design of this house is such
that it'd scale is appropriate, and should blend well with the one-story structures nearby. The
proposed Contemporary Craftsman Style allows a fair amount of latitude in form , materials and
details . The style by its very nature and historical evolution has a certain eclectic quality, and I
feel that the proposed forms, materials and details easily fall within an acceptable range in my
judgment. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more.

of what we are proposing to build . I invite you to review the p lans and use my contact information bel ow to ask

of the neighborhood 's architecture and character. As Los Gatos loca ls, your feedback and support is important to
us. That being said . I c annot stress enou gh t hat we welcome your feedback . Again , please find my contact
information below. We look fo rw ard to hearing from you .
