Without your help the Sexl[nger house and orchard may be razed. <br />The house and orange orchard are the last intact example of an original farmstead and citrus orchard in the City <br />of Santa Ana. n Is Important that the City recognize this unique cultural resource. K is our opinion that the HRC, <br />at its April 2012 meeting, did not thoroughly consider the facts presented in the Staff's report which <br />recommended adding the house and orchard�to the City's Register. Staff's report states that the house and <br />orchard qualify for addition to the City's Register under Criterion #6, because K represents a business that was <br />once common. <br />BY adding the house and orchard to the City's Register the community can work with the landowner to <br />purchase the property to preserve the house and orchard for future generations to visit and enjoy. <br />Thank you in advance for your consideration of this matter. Should have any questions, 1 can be reached at <br />(714) 639 -6219. <br />Respectfully yours, <br />Debbie McEwen, President <br />Historic French Park Association <br />cc: Heritage Orange County <br />Orange County Historical Commission <br />Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society <br />Save Our Orchard Coalition <br />Susan Brandt- Hawley <br />Historic Fronch Park Assodatlon, PA, dox 1452, Santa Arr, G !2702 <br />
