character-defining features of the building or site; removal of trees and other major vegetation
unless removal is approved by a rehabilitation plan approved by the Historic Resources
Commission; paving of yard surface; exterior alterations or additions unless approved by the
Historic Resources Commission and such alterations are in keeping with the Secretary of
Interior’s Standards; deteriorating, dilapidated or unrepaired structures such as fences, roofs,

Owner’s compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested
which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth
in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the
Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286. This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 ½) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
E-7
MILLS ACT AGREEMENT
1721 North Bush Street
Santa Ana, CA 92706
- 4 -
property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the
original fabric of the structure must be replaced, this Agreement shall be canceled immediately
because, in effect, the historic value of the structure will have been destroyed. No fee shall be
imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
c. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner,
the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or
cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement or in City’s regulations governing historic properties are available to City
to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach
or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach
thereof or default hereunder.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Bungalow/Craftsman
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE:
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American Bungalow/Craftsman architecture was popularized by The
Craftsman magazine and architects such as Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena. It drew from the wood building traditions of
Japan and Switzerland as well as the medieval themes favored by the Arts and Crafts philosophers. Craftsman architecture stressed
honesty of form, materials, and workmanship, eschewing applied decoration in favor of the straightforward expression of structure. A
new appreciation of nature was evident in horizontal lines that reached out to embrace the landscape and the incorporation of
capacious porches into building plans. Primarily a residential style, Craftsman architecture can be identified by low-pitched gable and
hipped roofs with exposed rafters and beams in deep overhangs; wood lap or shingle siding and an occasional use of stucco; extensive
use of stone or brick as a secondary material; horizontal emphasis apparent in roof lines, headers, and battered porch supports; and
broadly proportioned wood framed windows, often clustered in bands. Craftsman homes were built from circa 1902 until the early
1920s. EXHIBIT B

DESCRIPTION: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and
boundaries.)
This one and a half-story residence is an example of the side gable variant of the Craftsman bungalow. Of moderate pitch, the gable is
accented by a shed-roofed dormer centered on the façade. Roof treatment includes exposed rafters with notched tails in the eaves and
exposed knee braces in the gable ends. Medium width lap siding sheathes the house. Spanning most of the façade, a recessed porch is
enclosed by a brick porch wall. Short, elephantine posts on brick pedestals define three unevenly sized bays. Brick was also used for
the porch stair walls and for a chimney attached to the south elevation. The entry features a battered surround with an extended lintel.
Similarly framed, windows banded by transoms divided into small rectangular lights are located to either side of the entry. The
property also contains a garage, constructed many years after the house.
HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS:
This house was built by Harry P. Drips and May West Drips in 1912. Harry Drips’s father, William Drips, was a contractor,
responsible for the building of Layman’s Castle and the first brick building in Santa Ana, the Gilmacher Block. A carpenter at Griffin
Lumber and Mill, Harry joined his father in the construction business and together they built many churches and schools in the
Newport and Tustin area. The Drips family, whose original name was Seldon, had come to America from Scotland. It is said that
while fleeing religious persecution they had hidden in a cave and survived by drinking water that dripped from the rocks, and they
decided to change their name as a consequence (Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society Newsletter). May West Drips was the
daughter of pioneer Santa Ana resident C. Z. West, who operated the Waffle and West Livery Stable. West Street (now Broadway)
was named after her grandfather, Captain John West. The couple married in 1894 and raised three daughters. Their son-in-law,
James B. Utt, served in the United States Congress for over 20 years. Harry Drips died in 1940. May Drips continued to live in the
house for several more years.
Damaged by fire in 1991, the house was restored by Gary Green and presented with the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society
Award in 1992.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme,
period, geographic scope, and integrity.)
Santa Ana was founded by William Spurgeon in 1869 as a speculative townsite on part of the Spanish land grant known as Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana. Early growth and development was stimulated by the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1878 and the
Santa Fe Railroad in 1886. Following its incorporation as a city in 1886, Santa Ana was recognized as one of the leading
communities in the area in 1889 when it became the seat of the newly created County of Orange.
Santa Ana continued to grow steadily, surviving an economic downturn in the 1890s and gaining momentum in the first decade of the
20th century. The older neighborhoods closest to the downtown commercial district and to the churches, clubs, and institutions began
to be filled up, and homebuilders looked elsewhere for land. This trend outward from the City’s historic core was symbolized by the
construction of Santa Ana High School on Main Street at Tenth Street in 1900 (demolished in the 1940s to make way for the new
Buffum’s Department Store). The Drips House is one of a cluster of homes from the first decades of the 20th century that have
survived on the 1700 block of North Bush Street, north of the older French Park neighborhood. It is architecturally significant as a
representative example of the Craftsman style. Characteristic features incorporated in the design include a horizontal emphasis,
articulated by the lines of eaves, porch beams, and window and door surrounds and a reliance on exposed structural elements such as
the rafters and braces in the eaves for architectural interest.
Character-defining exterior features of the Drips House, which should be preserved, include but may not be limited to: roof
configuration and treatment (exposed, shaped rafter tails, bargeboards, braces, etc., dormer), original materials and finishes, open
porch configuration and detailing, and original doors and windows.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
This resource is currently listed in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property. It is significant under Criterion 1 in that it embodies
the “distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or period.” The Drips House has been categorized as “Key” because it “has
a distinctive architectural style and quality” as an example of the Craftsman style (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
