HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION ACTION Adopted a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2004-05 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2004-05 to place and categorize as Key at its August 5, 2004 meeting (Exhibit A) by a vote of 6:0 (Bustamante, Lutz, Shaefer absent) . DISCUSSION Request of Applicant Mrs. Ruth Kroll, the owner of the F. B. Elliott House, is appealing the placement and categorization of this structure on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties (Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2004-05 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2004-05). Mrs. Kroll submitted a letter of appeal (Exhibit B) on August 11, 2004 stating her reasons for declining the register listing. The request to appeal the Historic Resources Commission decision is based on: (1) current and future property restriction for historic structures and (2) respect for her property rights. 75A-1 Appeal No. 2004-07 September 20, 2004 Page 2 Analysis of the Issues A Park Santiago resource survey, conducted by architectural historian Leslie Heumann, identified 20 significant historical properties in the Park Santiago neighborhood as candidates for placement on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The subject structure located at 1905 North Valencia Street was included as a candidate as it meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. It is over 50 years old and exemplifies the Bungalow/Craftsman architectural style. The one-story structure, built circa 1912, is eligible to be categorized as Key for its distinctive architectural style as illustrated by its side gabled roof with exposed structural elements; sheathing in shingle courses of alternating heights; and horizontal emphasis. Prior to the City initiating the placement of this structure on the Register, courtesy letters were mailed on December 16, 2003 to the affected property owners inviting them to attend a special presentation explaining the implications and benefits of being placed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. Following the presentation, staff contacted the property owner by phone to discuss any concerns or questions the owner had regarding the proposed historic designation. At that time, Mrs. Kroll expressed her opposition to her property being placed on the local historic list. On February 5, 2004, Mrs. Kroll submitted correspondence to the Historic Resources Commission further expressing her opposition to placing the structure on the local Historic Register. Based on the architectural significance of the house, on August 5, 2004 the Commission approved the placement of the F. B. Elliott House on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized it as Key. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council uphold the decision of the Historic Resources Commission and adopt the resolutions approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2004-05 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2004-05. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review. A Categorical Exemption will be filed for this project. 75A-2 Appeal No. 2004-07 September 20, 2004 Page 3 FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. --I Ste hen G.

DISCUSSION Request of Applicant The property owner, Mrs. Clarence Kroll, requests reconsideration of the placement and categorization of the property located at 1905 North Valencia Street as Key on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. Background This action was first presented to the Historic Resources Commission at the public hearing held February 5, 2004. Upon written request by some of the property owners, the item was continued for three months to allow the owners additional time to study the ramification of placement on the local historic register. As communicated in the correspondence provided to the Commission at the February public hearing, the owners of 1905 North Valencia Street were not in favor of placing their property on the local historic register (Exhibit 1). EXHIBIT A 75A-4 HRCA No. 2004-05 HRC No. 2004-05 August 5, 2004 Page 2 The Historic Resources Commission rescheduled the subj ect property for action on May 6, 2004. The property owners were not present at that Commission hearing and did not respond to staff's attempt to reach them by phone prior to the public hearing. On May 6, 2004, the Historic Resources Commission placed the F.B. Elliot House on the local register and categorized it as Key. Following action by the Historic Resources Commission, a courtesy letter was sent to the property owner to communicate the Commission's action on their property and inform them of the 10-day appeal period. Unfortunately, in error the courtesy letter was sent to the subj ect rental property instead of Mrs. Kroll's home address. Thus, Mrs. Kroll did not contact the City about her property's listing status until after the 10-day appeal period was closed. Mrs. Kroll is requesting her property be removed from the Register due to concerns with current and future restrictions on her property. Analysis of the Issues The F.B. Elliot House meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The first benchmark for selection requires that the structure be 50 or more years old. As detailed in the property description, the structure proposed for placement on the Register meets the minimum age criteria. Based on the results of research, the structure at 1905 North Valencia Street meets the criteria to be placed in the Key category as contained in Section 30-2.2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The code criteria for Key designation are as follows: a. The building, landmark or district architectural style and quality; or has a distinctive b. The building, landmark or district is characteristic of a significant period in the history of the City of Santa Ana; or c. The building, landmark or district is associated with a significant person or event in the City of Santa Ana. 75A-5 HRCA No. 2004-05 HRC No. 2004-05 August 51 2004 Page 3 The F.B. Elliot Housel built circa 19121 qualifies for listing on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties as a representative example of BunglowjCraftman style architecture (Exhibit 2). The structure is eligible to be placed within the Key category for its distinctive architectural style and quality as illustrated by its side gabled roof wi th rafters exposed at the eaves; sheathing in shingle courses of alternating heights; a recessed porch featuring a brick wall and pedestals spanning most of the fac;ade ; massive brick piers marking the end of the porch; and a series of casement windows featured in the front facade. Based on findings consistent with the criteria established of the Santa Ana Municipal Code lit is recommended that Resources Commission approve the actions as noted.

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 rooflines, 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 F. B. Elliott House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of a Craftsman bungalow (Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) This one-story bungalow showcases the Craftsman style. Capped with a side gable roof with rafters exposed in the eaves, the building is sheathed in shingle courses of alternating heights. A sill course circles the building, below which, wide clapboard covers the exterior walls. Spanning most of the fagade, a recessed porch features brick walls and pedestals. Massive brick piers mark the ends of the porch, while four wooden posts flank each side of the central entry. Each of the porch supporls is topped by a capital composed of shaped pieces of wood that meet at ninety-degree angles. The central entry consists of an oak door flanked by sidelights. Three identical casement windows define the south bay. On the norlh, a triparlite window features a large, fixed, central pane with narrow flanking casements and a multi-light transom. A brick chimney is attached to the norlh elevation. The house is set a few feet above street level, and is approached by a broad flight of concrete stairs that lead up from the curb to a concrete pathway. Two palm trees in the parkway frame the house, which appears to be unaltered. *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2. Single-family Properly *P4.

Also address integrity) The F. B. Elliott House is architecturally significant as a highly representative example of a Craftsman bungalow from the first quarter of the twentieth century. On the basis of its styling and the listings in the city directories, it appears that the house was built circa 1912. The first listing occurred in 1913-1914, when Floyd Elliott, an employee of the Griffith Lumber Company, located at 1022 East Fourth Street and managed by A. C. Bowers, was the owner. By 1918, Elliott had married and left the lumberyard in favor of a position as a salesman for Carl C. Crawford, the Orange County agent for Oldsmobiles. Two years later, William R. Gordon, an employee of the Charles Davis Garage, and his wife Estelle were the occupants. They were followed in 1924 by William J. Hales, a horse and mule dealer, and his wife Calla.

B. Elliott House *Recorded by Leslie J. Heumann, SAIC *Date December 31,2003 [8] Continuation 0 Update *B10. Significance (continued): The F. B. Elliott House is located in the Park Santiago neighborhood, near the present northern city limits of Santa Ana and substantially north of the original city core. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west, and the 1-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way mirrored the freeway route. This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, "C Street" (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue, the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents continued to list "rancher" or "fruit grower" as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by approximately forty landowners. While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney (z. B. West, Jr., 321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April 1942, when the Sanborn Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single-family homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of the neighborhood and infill construction in the westem half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World War II. The F. B. Elliott House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its representation of the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Key" because it "has a distinctive architectural style and quality" as an example of a Craftsman bungalow. Characteristic Craftsman features include the strongly horizontal massing and design, keynoted by the roofline and siding, the combination of wood and brick, and the exposed structural elements such as rafter tails and column capitals. Character-defining exterior features of the F. B. Elliott House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: sheathing (shingles and clapboard); roof configuration and detailing; massing; windows and doors; porch; architectural details (posts, piers, brackets, attic vents); chimney; and concrete steps and walkway. *B12.
