2. 212 E. Rincon: The owner is interested in designating her home as a Landmark.
Staff requested that all HPB members visit the property, complete the architectural questionnaire, and send it to Cindy no later than February 7th.
HPB member Kendall noted that the home was interesting and memorable; however
she was reluctant to make it a Landmark. She would like more information on the
original owner of the property. HPB member Moore requested that Mark Sandoval complete a historic report of the
property, asking staff who would be responsible for the fee. Staff replied that the
homeowner would be responsible since she initiated the request.
HPB member Blake noted that the home, with its well-done craftsmanship, represents a fine example of the Colonial Revival Cottage architectural style
identified in the City’s Design Guidelines for Historic Residential Buildings. She also
noted that the home, which has Edwardian influences and was built for the City
butcher, is highly visible and in good shape with unique details including a steep roofline, dormers, dental molding, balanced windows, and a chimney that stands out.
Chair Walter noted that homes in Campbell are not ornate and have historically
included very simple architecture. He suggested comparing this home to other
homes of similar style. He also liked the idea of having Mark Sandoval write a report about the home.
The application will be scheduled for the February 28th meeting. Staff will also
contact Mark Sandoval for a quote to prepare the report and then let the homeowner
know how much it will be. 3. FAQ Brochure: The HPB continued their discussion of the Realtors FAQ email and
asked staff to send the draft email to Realtor Scott Rees for feedback.
ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. The next meeting will be held on February 28,
2018, starting at 5:00 pm in the City of Campbell Council Chambers.
