Water PiPes

and the Precautionary Principle

E

Take water, for example, and the health and safety issues surrounding the different types of potable-water piping materials.

Plastic piping falls into three main types: high-density polyethylene (HDPE), crosslinked polyethylene (PEX), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), all of which, recent studies show, release some volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the water and show some accumulation of bacteria on the pipe surfaces. Granted, the quantities of both are very small, but do we want any compounds in our drinking water that can be carcinogenic, endocrine disruptive, or neurotoxic? More studies need to be undertaken because the few that have been done are recent, even though plastic piping entered the marketplace in the 1970s. Once again, we consumers are being used as guinea pigs. This is just

by Dennis Allen another reason why I am a proponent of making the precautionary principle statutory in our country.

What about copper piping, the norm before plastic piping became available?

Although it has antimicrobial properties and poses no risk of VOCs, it presents its own health problems. It leaches copper into the water, the quantity depending on mineral content, acidity, and temperature of the water and how long it stays in the pipes. Again, the quantities are extremely small, but ingested copper can lead to nau-

sea, gastrointestinal problems, liver damage, and kidney disease.

Unfortunately, we do not have water pipes that are 100 percent safe, but all things considered, copper piping seems the better choice. None of these water-pipe materials are going to kill us. However, our water pipes are one more source of exposure to compounds, albeit minimal, that tax our immune system. This example is merely one among many that conscientious architects and builders wrestle with in the green building movement.

ver since the 1980s, when many people started experiencing health issues linked to time spent in new buildings, the term “sick building syndrome” was coined. The most prevalent symptoms are irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin; hypersensitivity; headaches, fatigue, and general malaise; and respiratory reactions. The causes are many but often relate to flaws in the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems or from building products that outgas or contain toxins.

Why is there a struggle to find safe products that are conducive to good health? In part, it’s because we do not, unlike the European Union, follow the precautionary principle when new products are developed. In Europe, if an action, product, or policy has a risk of causing harm to health or the environment, the burden of proof of no harm falls on those wanting to take the action or develop the product.

away. When we parked at the beach, we noticed something else: It was no longer hot. In fact, it was downright cold.

What the heck? We zoomed back home and, wait a minute, hot again. To repeat: What the heck?

Microclimates, that’s what.

There are about as many weather factors weaving through Santa Barbara neighbor-

parts can be much shadier and cooler than others, depending on where you’re standing. And as for the Mesa, the shoreline fog tends to burn off by midday, which can mean big variations hour by hour.

Ireland grew up in a place that was more regimented: your basic hot in summer, cold in winter. When she moved to Santa Barbara 25 years ago,“I was very surprised how different it can be in any given day. It might start out foggy, and you’re wearing a sweater and a scarf, but by afternoon in another part of town, you’re peeling off layers.” The good part is that, though it can be changeable hour by hour and neighborhood by neighborhood, Santa Barbara doesn’t vary much throughout the year.

“There’s a little something for everyone,” Ireland said.“Not too hot, not too cold, but if you have a preference, there’s a part of town that will suit you.”

Which brings up the tricky subject of spousal concord. Ireland had just such a case a while back: a husband and wife, good friends of hers. “He loves the ocean and loves it cool, so the closer to the beach, the better for him,” she said. “His wife likes more sunshine and warmer.”

How did she resolve that age-old dilemma?

“They settled for a happy medium downtown.” n

e were hanging around in the old backyard in San Roque a while back and noticed that it was hot—which sparked a bright idea: Let’s go to the beach as fast as humanly possible.

Off we raced to Hendry’s, and on the way there, zipping along Las Positas, we noticed something: The sun had gone

hoods as there are neighborhoods, according to Alan Rose, chief meteorologist for KEYT TV. It’s all a brew of Pacific breezes, mountain elevations, canyon wind tunnels, etc. and etc. He suggested checking the website of Weather Underground — not the Vietnam-era protesters but actual weather mavens who, among many other things, gather data neighborhood by neighborhood. Right now, for instance, the site says it’s 58.8 degrees in Oak Park and 76.6 degrees three miles south on the Mesa. See? Microclimates.

This matters for house hunters.“I always ask clients if they’d like more urban or rural, about views, and also about temperature,” said Samantha Ireland, an agent for Keller Williams Realty.

“A lot of people like it cool,” she said.

“They like the fog rolling in, love to able to walk over to Shoreline or Leadbetter regardless of weather.” So they veer toward the Mesa.“Some prefer it warmer and drier, like San Roque or Mission Hills.” Or you can move up the mountain a bit, above the marine layer.“It can get quite warm on the Riviera,” Ireland said.“But most people don’t have any complaint because they get breezes up the hill and spectacular views.”

There can even be microclimates within microclimates, she noted—that 56.6 temp in Oak Park above, for instance. Some

T

he first time I saw 928 Fellowship Road, I was bowled over by the character of this unique pueblo-style adobe atop the Mesa. It’s a tall twostory home with rustic beamed ceilings, an ancient brick staircase leading steeply up from the street to the front door, a wall of windows peering down over the rambling hill of a front yard, a tree-house feel upstairs, and a clubhouse feel downstairs. It has two front doors, both with unique stained-glass “speakeasy” windows, and two back doors, one through the kitchen and one downstairs on the side of the house that’s about four feet tall. It’s perfect for a hobbit or an Ewok or a pair of 6- and 8-year-old brothers with vivid imaginations.

I know this because the first time I saw 928 Fellowship Road was in the summer of 1996. The walls were bare white, the landscaping was nonexistent, and the house was completely empty. The realtor sat and smiled as my husband walked through the house marveling at its details, while our two energetic sons ran through the place, exclaiming how cool it was. I couldn’t stop staring out the living room windows at the view. We were hooked, and she knew it.

The boys were right. The house was cool, and it still is. There are secret doorways, kid-sized closets, and even a rustic basement. Many things have changed about the house since 1996. But the view from the living room was and will always be its most striking feature.

True to Mesa weather patterns, there is a peek of an ocean view, but only when the fog clears. When it does, the wood-framed, vertical-paned living room windows let the sun shine in generously during the day and provide dramatic moonlit views at night. These windows line three of the living room walls and open wide with wrought-iron latches and hand-hewn hooks to hold them in place. No matter how that room might be configured or decorated, the windows, and the view beyond, can’t help but be the focal point of the upstairs of this home.

The bones of this house are solid and show through in some cases even at a glance. The living room was once a patio or deck. The original roofline is evident below the windows and creates a little bench seat on the wall nearest the kitchen. The walls are actual adobe, rather than plaster fashioned to look authentic. They are the real deal.

There truly is not a flat wall surface in the house. These thick walls keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter, especially downstairs.

In addition to the aforementioned living room with a view, the upstairs includes a colorful compact kitchen with a big window facing onto the back patio and a master bedroom with a huge fireplace and an updated bathroom. A steep staircase in the center of the house leads downstairs. As you descend, it feels like you’re walking into the hold of a ship or into a secret lair. The bedroom to the left has a step-up closet that was a perfect hiding place for a 6-year-old from his older brother. The bedroom to the right has an attached bonus room behind it, which could be a laundry room, sitting room, or both.

In between the bedrooms is a bathroom with a vertical glass-brick wall. I love the glass brick. It feels as if you’re taking a shower outdoors, yet you have complete privacy.

Privacy is one of the recurring themes here. Removed from the street by the steep front staircase, you’re literally above what’s an already quiet neighborhood. This altitude plus the trees around and below combine to create an atmosphere of peaceful solitude that permeates the house.

Some of the prettiest details were our doing: the Mexican tile counters and backsplash in the kitchen, the handcrafted willow-twig kitchen cabinetry, the Saltillo tile floors throughout the living room and kitchen, and the paint colors on every interior and exterior surface. While some paint was added, even more was eliminated. We sandblasted the ceilings in several of the rooms, removing the paint to reveal entire eucalyptus log beams. The gorgeous redwood front doors had been painted dark brown, so they were taken down to their natural state, as well.

The house has a separate studio room nestled under a big, beautiful oak tree that would be a great office, playroom, or art studio. Like many features of this home, it’s limited only by your imagination.

The exact pedigree of the property is murky but interesting. It is purported to have been built in the early 1920s by the Fellowship Society, a group that attempted to be a self-sustaining farming commune in this Mesa neigh-

borhood in the 1920s and ’30s. This relatively short-lived community has the nearby streets of Fellowship Lane, Fellowship Circle, and Fellowship Road as its namesakes.

For house hunters who find comfort in the predictable practicality of cookie-cutter tract homes, this may not be the home for you. But everyone who loves this home, LOVES this home. It has personality, character, and history galore. Some of it belongs to the house, and some belongs to the people who have inhabited it. I’ll cherish every memory that I have of this home and hope that its next residents share as much fun and love inside its walls as we did.
