The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana <br />hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: <br />A. The applicants, John and Leslie Sherman, are requesting approval of <br />Historic Register No. 2012-01-RML to remove the McGowan House, <br />located at 214 East Santa Clara Avenue, HRC No. 2004-03 and HRCA <br />No. 2004-03, categorized as Landmark, from the City's Register of Historic <br />Properties. <br />B. On May 6, 2004, the McGowan House was individually listed on the Santa <br />Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as Landmark. The <br />structure was originally built circa 1886 in the Folk Victorian architectural <br />style. In 1938, the heirs of Allen McGowan remodeled the front facade of <br />the residence in the Colonial Revival, Classic Box variant while retaining its <br />original Folk Victorian details on the remaining three elevations. Amore <br />recent two-story addition, 1988, combined bedroomlbath and family room <br />expansion with an exterior wood stairwell to the second floor at the rear of <br />the structure. The addition meets the Secretary of the Interior's <br />Standards. <br />C. The McGowan House`s historic designation was reviewed for compliance <br />with Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Criteria of <br />Selection. To be eligible far consideration, a resource must be 50 years old <br />per SAMC 30-2(a). At the time the McGowan house was placed on the <br />Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties in 2005, the Colonial Revival style <br />structure was 119 years old, exceeding the city`s basic requirement for <br />designation. Noteworthy is the structure's quality of Victorian workmanship <br />and materials that has enabled the residence to survive approximately 126 <br />years. <br />Resolution No. 2012-XXX <br />Page 1 of ~ <br />
