FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 south, with new walls set back approximately six inches from the existing parapet edge in order to distinguish new from existing walls. A portion of the south wall of the master bedroom, which contains three windows, and the southernmost portion of the east wall of the master bedroom, which contains a door, will be demolished in order to accommodate the addition. In addition, a small portion of the southwest corner of the existing roof will be demolished in order to accommodate a new roof for the addition. The new roof will be hipped, will sit at a lower height than that of the existing roof, and the pitch will also be lower than that of existing roof, in order to appear subordinate and diminish visibility. The roof will be clad in red clay tile matching the existing red clay tile as closely as possible. Proposed rafter tails will be exposed and will have a similar profile to existing nearby rafter tails, though they will be simplified in profile in order to appear contemporary. The exterior walls will have a smooth stucco finish with color matching that of existing stucco. All of the exterior modifications are proposed to be located towards the rear of the property. F. The legal owners of the property are David J. Lang, M.D. and Mary Joann Lang, trustees of The Lang Family Trust dated July 19, 1994. G. The legal description for the subject property is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. H. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on April 4, 2019, for the request for exterior modifications to the L.A. West House. I. Since the property is listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, all exterior modifications are required to meet the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. 1. The following Secretary of Interior's Standards are applicable: i. Standard 1. In conformance with Standard 1, the subject property will continue to be used as it was historically, as a single-family home. ii. Standard No. 2. In conformance with Standard 2, the historic character of the subject property will be retained and preserved. The proposed new first floor bathroom will be located within an existing closet, which is not considered a character -defining feature; no distinctive materials or features will be removed. The proposed new elevator and second floor addition have been carefully designed to remove as little historic material as possible and will be in a location at the rear of the property where they are not generally visible from the public right of way and do not alter the primary west fagade and/or important spatial relationships that characterize the property.
