Architectural Review Board
I joined the City of Palo Alto's Architectural Review Board in 2005
and served as a member for almost 2 terms. I was relieved by a former
member at the end of my second term for maternity leave.
At my daughters' school, I co-chaired a 4-year masterplan effort for the
planning of the physical campus, working with school administrators and the community.
In recent years, I have been worked in development with a local non-profit organisation
in affordable housing.
For the past two years I have been assisting a non-profit with a cross cultural
exchange of local middle school and high school students and visitng Japanese students
from Tokyo, promoting STEAM.
I enjoy serving as a Pre-Major Advisor/Newcomer Guide of ten undergraduate
students, current freshmen and sophomores at Stanford University.
I look forward to continuing in mentoring high school students via educational program
design and management at Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies and also via Project Invent
as a design engineering Fellow in 2019-20.
I first arrived in this area as an undergraduate student some 30 years
ago.
I have lived, worked her and now am raising my own family here in Palo
Alto.
It is a wonderful community. My teenage daughters and husband and I enjoy
the neighborhoods,parks, and community spaces.
I wish to be a part of preserving and planning for change, shaping the
future of this place in a positive way.

I am interested in many projects that have come before the Board
over the years.
During this past year, I recall reading about 1700 and 1730 Embarcadero,
2705 El Camino Real and 4115 El Camino Real.
I am particularly interested in projects along and the potential of
El Camino Real, Embarcadero, California and University Avenues and the
program uses of commercial/retail, multi-family housing, and mixed use.
My graduate training and professional experience is in Architecture,
City and Regional Planning.
I hope to contribute to promoting goals of sustainability, designing
for appropriate program use that is also flexible for adaptive re-use
and change in the future.
I would like to serve as a Board member who listens carefully and works
collaboratively with the rest of the Board, City representatives and
staff.

Subject:Re: FW: Architectural Review Board Application
All Correct. Please resubmit the previous application with the following updates:
I would add the following more relevant information for question #2‐‐"Please describe an issue that recently came
before the Board that is of particular interest to you and describe why you are interested in it."
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
I realize these are two areas that have not been within the purview of the Architectural Review Board, but these cases
will have an enormous impact on our aesthetic world. Many of the questions that come up when grappling with the
right way to decide on an ARB case must surely be part of these following city issues:
1) The recently completed study for and adoption of Design Guidelines for Palo Alto's Eichler neighborhoods was
something I followed very closely. While only one neighborhood in Palo Alto has an official 'Historic' designation, there
are a number of our neighborhoods that were developed by Joseph Eichler throughout the 50's, 60's and 70's which
have had a collective design impact on Palo Alto. Many community members feel that history is worth preserving, and
others feel like the 'ticky‐tack' house was cheap, inefficient and small. As someone who both believes in 'regional flavor',
and as a professional whose job has been to help people transform their spaces to fit their own needs, I felt there were
some solutions available to the city to address both ends of the spectrum. The city treated this as an information
gathering exercise alone which led to no regulatory adoption or enforcement. They failed to recognize that the majority
of community members who were opting to demolish their Eichler homes in order to re‐build weren't doing so for lack
of information, but for a disinterest in the City's history. A simple list prioritizing items requiring enforcement for
example; massing, materials, & fenestration, or no regulation; fixtures, hardware, & interior space, would have gone a
long way to help preserve the distinctive flavor of the city, while allowing for growth and change.
2) The ongoing issue confronting our city with respect to the train corridor bifurcating our residential single family
neighborhoods and the eventual grade separation we must choose is another issue I have been dedicated to following.
Again, this issue will have visual, aural, and 'flow' impacts that will direct the growth of the neighborhood for many years
to come. My particular interest in this issue started because of my home's proximity to the tracks, and the experiences
of delays, noise, visibility and the more critical issue of safety. We have lived here long enough to decipher which noises
are which, some of them are devastating. We are being asked as a city to address current issues the train poses; crossing
from East to West and back in our city is difficult, our school system sends kids back and forth over the tracks all day
long, unlike many other municipalities along the corridor our tracks are straddled by single family homes, especially in
the south part of the city and contend with the horns, the increased traffic cutting through neighborhoods to avoid the
long back‐ups, the bells, the lights, the rumble of the train. We are being asked to imagine just how terrible it will
become with the increased service‐something we are trying to put numbers to in order to anticipate reactions to
possible crossing closures, or maybe decreased drivers as train service becomes more available, or more bike lanes are
added and encouraged, and finally we are being to asked to imagine a future that may not yet exist: is a uni‐directional
train really the future? The quick and dirty response to build something fast and cheap is as bad as defaulting to no
choice at all because nothing is perfect. My hope is that the city is guided by its citizens to make a choice that everyone
can live with, not one that everyone hates equally.
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
