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'/2) percent by
Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the 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.

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.

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: Craftsman
Closely related to the English Arts and Crafts Movement, American 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.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Dixon-Heemstra House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for
embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of a late Craftsman style residential building. The recommended
categorization is "Key' because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Craftsman style (Santa
Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(2)).

The Dixon-Heemstra House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Craftsman style house in Santa Ana. The
original building permit Is dated June 1923, which indicates it was built as a single family residence and garage for owner and
homebuilder W.H. Dixon for $4,000, Dixon, affiliated with W.H. Dixon and Son, was a local contractor and builder in Santa
Ana and greater Orange County (Santa Ana Register, March 30, 1930). The original architect is unknown. In 1923,
newspapers advertised the sale of the subject property as "Dixon's Durable Dwelling' built in the "exclusive highly restricted
Strong tract' (Santa Ana Register, October 25, 1923). City directories note that the property was vacant in 1924; however,
from 1925 to 1929 Benjamin Heemstra is listed as the building's occupant. From 1930 to 1931, P.H. Budd is the known
occupant, who contributed to Orange County's first engineer report by Engineer Thomas Means in 1931. Budd later became
an engineer for the Orange County flood -control district in 1934 and was ultimately appointed as the Orange County flood -
control engineer in 1952 (Santa Ana Register, December 28, 1952). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 5).

*133a. Description (continued):
Fenestration on the side (west) fagade consists of several double -hung wood windows of various size, along with a small
casement window (Figure 5). The side (east) fagade consists of double -hung windows with a multi -light pattern on the upper
light as well as those without any divided lights, and one multi -light glazed door. The rear (south) fagade includes double -
hung wood windows in a group of three and one single window are located at the rear fagade, along with a single casement
window. Window framing throughout the building is made of wide framing with an emphasized sill and header. The main
entrance door also consists of the same framing to match.
The rear (south) fagade is made of the primary gable roof and a smaller gable roof at the southeast corner of the building.
The smaller gable roof houses the 2019 laundry room addition to kitchen (Figure 6). The addition's siding material is slightly
differentiated from the original siding to indicate it is a later addition.
The detached garage is situated to the southeast of the main residence. The front -gabled garage has an off -centered
vehicular double -door that slides open (Figure 7). Siding is designed to match the main residence along with extended eaves
and exposed rafter tails. No windows are present except for a rear opening that has since been infilled.
Additional architectural features include front entrance concrete pathway and concrete porch deck and a Hollywood driveway
which has been modified from grass to gravel at its center. Metal window awnings have been added to a few west-fagade
windows as a later addition. The property is landscaped with a front lawn, small shrubs, and a few medium-sized trees.
*B10. Significance (continued):
C.R. McCaslin occupied the property for one year in 1932. During the years 1933 and 1934, F.H. Albrecht is listed as the
occupant, and then L.G. Holman is the known occupant from 1935 to 1937. From 1938 to 1939, C.H. Dale is the occupant.
The property is listed as vacant in 1940. In 1941, both R.L. Fleming and H.R. McGuire are noted as building occupants. From
1944 to 1950 Mrs. Jessie Wild occupied the property. City directories were not available from 1957 to 1959, in 1962, and
between 1966 and 1978. From 1979 to 1995, R.S. Fink occupied the property, and from 1999 to 2008, Stephen Loft owned
the property. No additional information was uncovered regarding the previously noted owners and occupants. The current
owners Jill Brumett and Mona Konstan purchased the property in 2019.
The Dixon-Heemstra House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West
Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of orange, avocado, and walnut trees and
widely scattered ranch houses characterized this area before 1920, Developer and builder Allison Honer (1897-1981),
credited as the subdivider and builder of a major portion of northwest Santa Ana, arrived in Santa Ana from Beaver Falls,
New York in 1922 (Talbert, pages 353-356). "Before nightfall on the day of his arrival, Mr. Honer purchased a parcel of land.
And that month, he began building custom homes in Santa Ana" (Orange County Register, September 15, 1981). The parcel
chosen became the Floral Park subdivision between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek. "When built in the 1920s, the
Floral Park homes were the most lavish and expensive in the area. They sold for about $45,000 each" (Orange County
Register, September 15, 1981). Revival architecture in a wide variety of romantic styles was celebrated in the 1920s and
1930s and Floral Park showcased examples of the English Tudor, French Norman, Spanish Colonial, and Colonial Revival.
The Allison Honer Construction Company went on to complete such notable projects as the 1935 Art Deco styled Old Santa
Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the
neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral
Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa
Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial
Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In 1937, Roy Rodney Russell, joined his father's firm and by 1945 it was renamed as
Roy Russell and Son. in the early post World War 11 years, Floral Park continued its development as numerous, smaller,
single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In the 1950s, low,
horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2023) Floral Park maintains its identity as the
premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Dixon-Heemstra House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an
intact example of a Craftsman style home in Santa Ana. Located in Floral Park, the house cost $4,000 to build in 1923. The
recommended categorization is "Key" because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Craftsman
style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features of the Dixon-Heemstra House include, but
may not be limited to: L-shaped plan; asymmetrical primary fagade; low -pitch roof with overhanging eaves and exposed
rafter tails; long side -gabled porch roof that intersects two front gables at the primary fagade; narrow horizontal wood panel
siding; the porch's exposed beams at the gable's end and three porch support columns; primary entrance composed of a

single glazed door with divided lights; two large tripartite wood -frame windows, comprised of a central fixed window between
two narrow double -hung windows with divided lights, which flank the main entrance; original windows and doors and
window/door framing throughout; detached garage; front yard lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs; and
the Hollywood driveway (if restored from gravel to grass in center).

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

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.
