Although we arc <br />separate, we are both Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod educational institutions with the shared <br />mission of spreading the gospel message of salvation by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. We <br />write this letter because we oppose the listing of the Sexlinger Orchard and Farmhouse in either <br />the Register of historic Ylaccs or in the California Register of Historical Resources. <br />Frankly, we are disappointed with your agency's complete failure to involve us in your <br />proceedings. We have only just learned of your letter dated April 30, 2012 to Mayor Pulido and. <br />the Santa Ana City Council members. As we have shared with the City of Santa Ana stall and <br />the City's Historic Resources Commission, there are several reasons why we - as the current <br />owners - oppose the listing. We have attached a copy of our March 21, 2012 letter to the City For <br />your review. <br />Obviously, we did not request that your agency consider listing the Sexlinger Orchard or <br />Farmhouse. As we understand tlic applicable legal process (36 CFR 60), however, you tyre <br />required to notify us directly, and in writing if you intend to nominate our property to the <br />National Register. We are not required to ferret out your actions. After receiving proper notice, <br />we are to receive the opportunity to object -which we will da <by submitting the required <br />notarized statement certifying that we are the owners and object to the listing). By law, after we <br />object, the properly will not be listed (36 CFR 60.6(g)). <br />Devebping Wise, Honorable and Cultivated Citizens - �5sa Concordia west � v 9854 -8002 i =..
