2117 N. Victoria Drive, Santa Ana, California <br /> <br /> Page 13 <br />finishes. The proposed new elevator and second floor addition will also read as contemporary. <br />The elevator cab will have contemporary hardware and finishes. At the second floor, care has <br />been taken to design the walls of the new addition to sit within the existing parapet edge so the <br />addition reads as a contemporary insertion into the existing footprint, similar to a screened-in <br />sleeping porch. Additionally, materials have been carefully chosen to read as contemporary. <br />Rather than mimic the existing textured, hand-troweled stucco walls, the new walls will be <br />smooth stucco. Rather than be carved to exactly match the more elaborate profile of existing <br />rafter tails, the new rafter tails will have a simple profile. Rather than exactly match existing <br />window sash, new windows will include a simplified light pattern and sash profile. <br /> <br />4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained <br />and preserved. <br /> <br />Standard 4 does not generally apply, as the project will not remove any significant features that <br />were added over time. <br /> <br />5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of <br />craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. <br /> <br />In conformance with Standard 5, distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction <br />techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the property will be preserved. The <br />proposed new first floor bathroom will be located within an existing closet, which is not <br />considered a character-defining feature; no distinctive materials or features will be removed. The <br />proposed new elevator and second floor addition have been carefully designed to remove as little <br />historic material as possible and will be focused in locations at the rear of the property where they <br />are not generally visible from the public right of way and do not remove materials or finishes in <br />the most significant or decorative spaces of the house. <br /> <br />6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of <br />deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in <br />design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be <br />substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. <br /> <br />Standard 6 does not generally apply, as the proposed project does not deal with issues of <br />deterioration of existing materials or replacement of existing features. <br /> <br />7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means <br />possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. <br /> <br />Standard 7 does not generally apply, as the project does not focus on proposed chemical or <br />physical treatments to existing materials. <br /> <br />8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be <br />disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. <br /> <br />Standard 8 does not generally apply, as there will be no ground disturbing activity. <br /> <br />9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic <br />materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will <br />be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, <br />scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. <br />3-59
