At the time, the City of Santa Ana <br />requested that the structure be placed and categorized as Key on the <br />Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (Exhibit 1). At the request <br />of the property owner, Mrs. Gayle Meyer, the Commission granted a one- <br />year continuance allowing the owner additional time to research the <br />subject (Exhibit 2). Recently, Mr. and Mrs. Meyers have communicated to <br />staff that they still remain opposed to the placement of their property <br />on the local register and request that their property rights be <br />respected. As owners of the property for the past 29 years, the Meyers <br />perceive the potential restrictions associated with placement on the <br />local register are greater than the benefits. <br /> <br />Analysis of the Issues <br /> <br />The Wettlin House meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on <br />the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria <br />contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The first <br />benchmark for selection requires that structures be 50 or more years <br />old. Built in 1926, the structure proposed for placement on the <br />Register meets the minimum age criteria. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />75A-4 <br />
