FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO <br />GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 <br />iii. Standard No. 3. In conformance with Standard 3, the <br />proposed changes will not create a false sense of historical <br />development. The proposed new first floor bathroom will <br />include contemporary fixtures and finishes. The proposed <br />new elevator and second floor addition will also read as <br />contemporary. The elevator cab will have contemporary <br />hardware and finishes. At the second floor, care has been <br />taken to design the walls of the new addition to sit within the <br />existing parapet edge so the addition reads as a <br />contemporary insertion into the existing footprint, similar to a <br />screened -in sleeping porch. Additionally, materials have <br />been carefully chosen to read as contemporary. Rather than <br />mimic the existing textured, hand -troweled stucco walls, the <br />new walls will be smooth stucco. Rather than be carved to <br />exactly match the more elaborate profile of existing rafter <br />tails, the new rafter tails will have a simple profile. Rather <br />than exactly match existing window sash, new windows will <br />include a simplified light pattern and sash profile. <br />iv. Standard No. 5. In conformance with Standard 5, distinctive <br />materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or <br />examples of craftsmanship that characterize the property will <br />be preserved. The proposed new first floor bathroom will be <br />located within an existing closet, which is not considered a <br />character -defining feature; no distinctive materials or <br />features will be removed. The proposed new elevator and <br />second floor addition have been carefully designed to <br />remove as little historic material as possible and will be <br />focused in locations at the rear of the property where they <br />are not generally visible from the public right of way and do <br />not remove materials or finishes in the most significant or <br />decorative spaces of the house. <br />V. Standard No. 9. In conformance with Standard 9, the new <br />second floor addition will not destroy historic materials, <br />features, or spatial relationships that characterize the <br />property. The new addition is located in the rear and most <br />private portion of the existing house. It is not generally visible <br />from the public right-of-way. Important spatial relationships <br />characterizing the Spanish Colonial Revival design will not <br />be disturbed, as the addition will sit within the existing <br />building footprint and read as an insertion. The new will be <br />differentiated from the old, with new walls set back from the <br />existing parapet edge, allowing the addition to appear <br />subordinate to and not overwhelm the existing massing, and <br />preserve the historic sense of a rambling floorplan. The <br />design of exterior walls, incorporating fenestration, will <br />-- achieve a lightness and transparency that will allow for a <br />
