HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION AGENDA 2 October 29, 2020
Basic Historic Resources Commission Meeting Information
The Agenda can be found online at
https://www.santa-ana.org/cc/city-meetings
Agenda: An agenda is provided for each Commission meeting. The
Commission agenda is posted on the posting boards outside the Civic Center
entrance and Council Chamber. Meeting agendas and approved minutes are kept current on the City website at www.santa-ana.org/cc/city-meetings. The
items on the agenda are arranged in four categories:
1. Consent Calendar: These are relatively minor in nature, do not have any outstanding issues or concerns, and do not require a public hearing. All
consent calendar items are considered by the Commission as one item
and a single vote is taken for their approval, unless an item is pulled from the consent calendar for individual discussion. There is no public
discussion of consent calendar items unless requested by the
Commission. 2. Business Items: Items in this category are general in nature and may
require Commission action. Public input may be received at the request
of the Commission. See information for Speaker’s Card/Request to
Speak on the first page. 3. Public Hearings: This category is for case applications that require, by
law, a hearing open to public comment because of the discretionary nature of the request. Public hearings are formally conducted and public
input/testimony is requested at a specific time. This is your opportunity
to speak on the item(s) that concern you. If, in the future, you wish to
challenge in court any of the matters on this agenda for which a public hearing is to be conducted, you may be limited to raising only those
issues which you (or someone else) raised orally at the public hearing or
in written correspondence received by the City at or before the hearing. 4. Work Study Session: Items in this category are generally items requiring
discussion. No action will be taken. Persons wishing to speak regarding
Work Study Session matters should file a "Request to Speak" form with
the Recording Secretary.
Public Hearing Procedure: The Commission will follow the following
procedure for all items listed as public hearing items:
1. The Chair will ask for presentation of the staff report; 2. The Commission will have the opportunity to question staff in order to clarify any specific points; 3. The public hearing will be opened; 4. The applicant/project representative will be allowed to make a presentation, for a maximum of 15 minutes. 5. Members of the audience will be allowed to speak, for a maximum of 3 minutes per speaker. 6. The applicant will be given an opportunity to respond to comments made by the audience; 7. The public hearing will be closed; and
8. Discussion of the proposal will return to the Commission with formal action taken to approve, conditionally approve, deny, or continue review
of the application.
Staff Reports: Staff reports can be downloaded from the City’s website at
https://www.santa-ana.org/cc/city-meetings If you have any questions
regarding any item of business on the agenda for this meeting, or any of the staff reports or other documentation relating to any agenda item, please
contact the Planning and Building Agency at 714-667-2732.
Appeals: The formal action by the Commission shall become effective after
the ten-day appeal period, unless the City Council in compliance with section
41-643, 41-644 or 41-645 holds a public hearing on the matter, then the formal action will become effective on the day following the hearing and decision by
the City Council. An appeal from the decision or requirement of the
Commission must be filed with the Clerk of the Council and a copy sent to the Planning Department within ten days of the date of the Commission’s action.
The appeal may be made by any interested party, individual or group. The
appeal must be filed with the Clerk of the Council, accompanied by the required filing fee, and a copy sent to the Planning Department, within ten days of the
date of the Commission’s action, by 5:00 p.m. If the final day to appeal falls on
a City Hall observed holiday or a day when City hall is closed, the final day to appeal shall be extended to the next day City Hall is open for public business.
Please note: Under California Government Code Sec. 65009, if you challenge
in court any of the matters on this agenda for which a public hearing is to be conducted, you may be limited to raising only those issues which you (or
someone else) raised orally at the public hearing or in written correspondence
received by the Commission or City Council at or before the hearing.
Submittal of information for dissemination or presentation at public
meetings:
Written Materials/Handouts: Any member of the public who desires to submit
documentation in hard copy form may do so prior to the meeting or at the time he/she addresses the Commission. Please provide 15 copies of the

Subject:To: Planning Commission/Historic Resources Commission re: 920 N. Louise Street
Date:Tuesday, October 20, 2020 7:44:06 PM
Hello,
Regarding the request by Valerie Boulter, owner of the home at 920 N. Louise Street, to have
her home (historically known as the Clem-Koentopp House) categorized as a HistoricalProperty and placed in the Santa Ana Register of Historic Properties, I ask that you consider
my opinion when this application comes before you.
I purchased my home at 919 N. Louise Street in 1992 and I really love it, for so many reasons.One of them is that every time I look across the street, or come and go from my house, I see
the house at 920 N. Louise.
If I were wealthy, rather than just rich (in experiences and blessings), I could have bought thathouse when it came up for sale several years ago. It is my dream house, inside and out. It is
architecturally unique and the inside has been meticulously designed for living at its best. Itwas true when it was built in the late 1930's and is still as true today.
In the time I have been here, Ms. Boulter is the third owner. The prior owners appreciated
their home, inside and out and they were pretty careful to maintain it in good condition, butsome things kind of slid by.
Since Ms. Boulter purchased it, she has been relentless and pro-active in not only maintaining
the house but in preserving its unique character. She has added to its beauty with landscapingthat is very well planned and maintained. She has invested a great deal of money to restore
the things that needed attention and to conserve the original look, feel and substance of theproperty.
She has made a strong commitment, not only to the home she purchased but to the community
she has so heavily invested in. She wasted no time in getting involved in our WashingtonSquare Neighborhood Association. She is an unimaginably good neighbor and has invested
substantial personal resources, money and sweat-equity, to make this home the showplace itwas always meant to be.
I feel adamant that the homes in Santa Ana that have a historical character and historical
significance are among our greatest assets. It is in all our interests to preserve them and tosupport their owners in efforts to do so. These houses are actually ambassadors for our City,
that stand to say, "This is a beautiful and good place to live; Come join us". This is a poster-child home for that concept.
In the few short years she has lived here, she has done a great deal for this house, for her
neighbors, for our Washington Square Neighborhood. She is not only invested in theproperty, but she has generously become personally invested in Washington Square and the
City of Santa Ana.
She has done so much, I think it is unfortunate that the house can never be officially known asthe "Boulter House".
3 - 25
The approval of her request would benefit Ms. Boulter, us her neighbors because it enhances
our property values, as well as the City of Santa Ana. I am entirely confident that any moneyshe may save on taxes will be directed toward the preservation and improvement of this
beautiful house...a Win/Win for all of us.
I enthusiastically encourage you to approve her application.
Very sincerely,
bobi keenan
