4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to famish the City with any and all information requested

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

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 ''/a) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the

b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural

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.

Agreement regardless of whether such covenants, conditions and restrictions are set forth in such
contract, deed, or other instrument.

imposed under this Agreement, it being recognized that the consideration for the execution of
this Agreement is the substantial public benefit to be derived therefrom and the advantage that

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the
preferred style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social
needs: in terms of aesthetics, the form represented a stripped -down version of the historic -eclectic styles popular in the
1920s, in particular the Tudor and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied
requirements in square footage and plan by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in
this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in Its
efforts to codify and manufacture "a standard, low-cost, minimum house that the majority of American wage earners could
afford" (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57). Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and one-
story in height, often with a front -gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the English and Tudor
Revival styles the one-story version mimics, the Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof
with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer
accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi -light casement, double -hung, and picture windows with wood frames,
The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a departure from the later Ranch House
style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal Traditional homes often
display decorative wood shutters and porch -roof supports.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Russell -Irving House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
intact example of the side -gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing in Santa Ana.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history
of West Floral Park and is a representative example of the side -gabled roof variant of Minimal Traditional architecture
(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in West Floral Park, the Russell -Irving House is a one story single-family residence constructed in the side -gable
variant of Minimal Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing. Simplicity and near symmetry identify the
Colonial Revival inspiration for this single-family residence, which features a moderately -pitched, side -gabled roof with
modest overhangs. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing, and the exterior walls are clad in a combination
of wood clapboard siding and smooth stucco. The fagade (south elevation) consists of four bays, composed in an A-B-C-A
pattern. The focal point of the design is the entry, slightly offset from center in the "C" bay, detailed with a Classical surround
and containing a non -original wood door with built-in screen. The end (A) bays feature single, multi -paned, double -hung
windows framed with shutters, while the B" bay features a multi -paned tripartite window composed of two casement windows
flanking a fixed central window. Along the north, east, and west elevations, the building incorporates a series of single and
tripartite, multi -paned, double -hung windows. An interior brick chimney rises above the roof ridgeline. A one-story, gable -
roofed, detached garage is located in the rear of the property. Building permits document removal of the original shake roof.
While the residence has been altered by the roofing material and front door replacement, the alterations do not to detract
from the integrity of the residence. The property is landscaped with low vegetation and neatly trimmed hedges and features a
walkway paved in flagstone leading to the front entry.

The Russell -Irving House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the side -gable variant of Minimal
Traditional architectural style with Colonial Revival detailing. It was built in 1956 for $17,000 by prominent developer and
builder Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965). Along with developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981), Roy Russell was
credited as a subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana. An early Russell project was his 1928
subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa Clara Avenue. Little information is available
regarding occupancy of the residence from 1960-1990's. However, during the 1990's Paul and Therese Irving bought the
property and resided there until 2004, when the property was sold to Adrienne Salyer. The property was sold soon after to
Steven and Louise Mishler who resided there for 13 years.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the Russell -Irving House is located has been
known as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower
Street on the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time,
the area was pdmadly agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was Improved with houses during the 1920s and
1930s, contained only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315
North Bristol Street, and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street, Between 1947 and 1950,
around two dozen homes were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed
throughout the neighborhood during the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.
The Russell -Irving House qualifies for listing In the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of the side -gabled roof variant of the Minimal Traditional style with Colonial Revival detailing in Santa Ana.
Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history of
West Floral Park and is a representative example of the side -gabled roof variant of Minimal Traditional architecture (Santa
Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features of the Russell -Irving House include, but may not be limited
to: materials and finishes (stucco and horizontal wood board lapped siding); side -gabled roof with modest overhang; four -bay
fagade; muki paned, double -hung windows framed with shutters; and Classical main entry surround.

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.
