The Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society and several local community activists <br />recently walked through the property and do see potential in preserving this historic building and <br />retaining its many mature trees as an asset to the planned neighborhood park. If the community <br />decided the park should include fruit and vegetable gardens for example, this house could serve <br />as a nature center, learning center, gardening classrooms, or a neighborhood co-op to sell small <br />crops. The building retains some 100 -year-old architectural features and materials that the <br />youth of Santa Ana do not often see to appreciate. Because the current plan is to demolish the <br />three houses by mid-July, we ask that the City Council halt its demolition and instead allow the <br />community to preserve the 720 E. Sixth Street house as part of the plan for the park. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Alan Lawson, <br />Associate Director, on behalf of the SAHPS <br />cc: Alison Young, President, SAHPS <br />Board of Directors, SAHPS <br />
