NEW BUSINESS
1. HPB Member Update: Staff introduced Yvonne Kendall who was recently appointed
by the City Council to serve on the HPB. Yvonne owns a Landmark home on Alice
Avenue and previously served the City as a Planning Commissioner.
2. 151 N. First St (Gilman House): The owner needs to replace the roof on this
Landmark resource (Chiropractic office). Staff explained that this action falls under
general maintenance but was referred to the HPB since it is a Landmark property.
The HPB reviewed the sample roof tiles and recommended approval of the building
permit to replace the existing tiles with the proposed tiles.
3. 212 E. Rincon (Nunes House): The owner is interested in designating this home as a
Landmark in order to protect it after it is sold. Staff indicated that the HPB would
need to find that the house has exceptional historic significance in order to elevate it
from a structure of merit to a Landmark.
HPB member Walter indicated that he was not sure that is was an exemplary
example. Chair Blake supports moving forward with the application and indicated the
home represents one of the five styles identified in the Historic Design Guidelines;
noting its Edwardian style construction, nice trimwork, dormer feature, and unique
columns. Vice Chair Moore indicated that the home's simple construction is
representative of Campbell and that the owner was a significant person in Campbell.
Following the discussion, the HPB asked staff to schedule a formal public hearing
after the HPB has completed the Historic Preservation Evaluation Questionnaire.
4. 412 E. Campbell Avenue (Post Office/Rock Shop): Staff provided samples of the
proposed building materials to replace the existing glazed tiles (not original) below
the windows of the front fagade. The HPB also talked about the taller wall at the
corner of the building and suggested that stucco with a black sill might be a good
choice to go above the wainscoting. While the HPB preferred the flagstone
wainscoting that currently exists on the adjacent tenant space, the HPB asked staff
to bring back original photos of the building in order to make a more informed
decision. This item was continued in order to review historic photos of the building.
5. CLG Report: The HPB, reviewed and approved the CLG report for the reporting
period between October 1st 2016 and September 30t" 2017. One minor change was
suggested by the Chair regarding the Ordinance review date by the City Council.
Once amended, the report will be emailed to the State Office of Historic Preservation

OLD BUSINESS
360 E. Campbell Avenue (2"d Bank of Campbell): The HPB reviewed material
samples proposed for the approved fagade restoration and seismic retrofit of the
building. Vice Chair Moore indicated that she liked the new entry, and floor plan.
Following a brief discussion, the HPB approved the proposed building materials.
2. Realtor's FAQ Brochure: The HPB continued their discussion of preparing a
supplemental FAQ flyer for realtors. The HPB would like the flyer to match the
design aesthetic of the glossy brochure that was previously prepared by the HPB.
The HPB also suggested merging the Realtor FAQ with the existing general FAQ in
order to capture all of the FAQs in one document.
HPB member Kendall volunteered to draft an introductory email template that
realtors can send to their clients that would include links to information on historic
preservation in Campbell. She also has experience presenting to realtors and
therefore volunteered to discuss the flyer with realtors at one of their upcoming
meetings.
Once the FAQ flyer is finalized, it will be posted on the City's website and presented
to local realtors.
3. Historic Preservation Mobile application: Staff will provide an update.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS (no discussion)
1. HPB Member requests for future agenda items: HPB member Kendall suggested
that the HPB consider hosting one or more public events that highlight historic
preservation efforts in Campbell including for example, a holiday historic home tour
and/or a cultural event such as hay rides during Early Settlers Day or an Orchard
Festival that celebrates Campbell's Orchard City roots.
