The resource, 103 Wilson, has a similar level of protection as did the historic resources at 303 and 321 Fuller Streets. It is proposed to use the same mitigation for 103 Wilson as the Historic Resources Advisory Committee (HRAC) approved for the Fuller Street resources. The previously (HRAC) approved documentation approach comports with the methods used for nominations to the National Register of Historic Places and is proportionate to the level of significance of the resources as called for in the Downtown Precise Plan. The specific recommendations to document 103 Wilson Street are as follows: 1 . The property will be documented (Mitigation Measure c.) with the following: digital photographs will be taken of all exterior facades, interior rooms, and close-ups of any unusual or significant architectural details. Photos will be stored on CDs. Simple floor plans of the house will be drawn to scale. The historical narrative of the resource will be complied consisting of the history of the immediate neighborhood, the buildings' construction and subsequent modifications, the identity of the occupants, and any significant events associated with the building. The historical narrative will use available DPR forms but will also be based on additional archival research in order to build a complete but succinct history. The photographs, drawings, and history will be complied in a report and sent to the California Historical Resources Information System, the Bancroft Library, the Redwood City Public Library, San Mateo County Historical Association, and the Redwood City Community Development Department. 2. The salvage measure (Mitigation Measure e.) does not appear to be feasible in this case. The materials used in these wood houses, such as wood siding, shingles, and simple trim, are not easily or meaningfully incorporated into the new building's construction. 3 . The interpretative exhibit measure (Mitigation Measure f.) can be achieved by the placement of a plaque in the project on the exterior face of the new building. This plaque should be durable and visible from the public right of way. 5 ATTY/RESO.3005/HRAC — 103 WILSON STREET AKA GREYSTAR Page 7 of 8 REV: 08-08-14 VR
