NEW BUSINESS
2. 300 N. Central Ave (A.I. Cramer House): The HPB reviewed the Tier 1 application to
add a porch to the front and side of the _home and to obtain approval from the
Building Department for work to the roof of the home that was previously completed
without permits. The owner explained that he did not know he .needed a permit but
would now like`to rectify the situation. New paint colors (yellow siding with. white trim)
are also proposed.
The HPB discussed the proposed porch addition and asked the applicant to
redesign the wood siding so that the porch addition uses a wider plank than the
historic portion of the home, and the applicant agreed. The HPB also discussed the
unpermitted roof improvements, noting that the changes can be seen from the street
On this corner lot. The applicant indicated that he would plant two trees and new
hedges for privacy and screening of the work. The HPB unanimously recommended
approval of the changes.. .
3. 306 Curtner Ave: The HPB discussed the proposal to add the home at 306 Curtner
Avenue to the Potential List. Chair Walter indicated that he thought the architectural
details of the structure make it potentially eligible for designation, but asked staff to
find out the approximate age of the structure. HPB member Blake indicated the
structure was one of the few remaining California bungalow/farmhouse styles in
Campbell, . noting in particular the roof eaves and supports, the porch, and the
windows. HPB member Blake also noted the strong construction and cultural
significance due to the property's association with the City's historic orchards. _

site visits and/or complete theirarchitectural questionnaire for the home.
