DISCUSSION After the public hearing on November 3, 2005, the Historic Resources Commission reviewed the proposed Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Mills Act Contract) and concluded that the resulting potential property tax savings would encourage the owner to reinvest the tax savings in the maintenance of their historic property, and would benefit both the owner and the community (Exhibit A). Additionally, the agreement prevents inappropriate alterations. 25F-1 HPP Agreement No. 2005-12 November 21, 2005 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT The Historic Property Preservation Agreement revenue to the City by an estimated $60.92 period of not less than ten years. will reduce the property tax to $304.59 annually, for a APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: '=\~~~~('.l) \ l~:'-U Gutierrez Director Management Agency Francisco Executive Finance & HS:rb hs\historic info\mills act agreements\hppaOS-12-1116_N_Frency.cc 25F-2 Services A9~t>~ REQUEST FOR Historic Resources Commission Action ~ ~ HSTORIC RESOURCESCCNMISSION SECRETARY HSTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION MEE11'JG DATE: NOVEMBER 3, 2005 TITLE: HISTORIC PROPERTY PRESERVATION AGREEMENT NO. 2005-12 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1116 NORTH FRENCH STREET APPROVED o As Recommended o As Amended o Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO Prepared by Hally Soboleske ~ ----.,/ . Executive Director ~~gr RECOMMENDED ACTION Recommend that the City Council direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Philip G. and Kristin Collins for the structure located at 1116 North French Street. DISCUSSION Request of Applicant The applicants, Philip G. and Kristin Collins, request the approval of Historic Property Preservation Agreement No. 2005-12 (Mills Act) between the applicant and the City of Santa Ana. Property Description The subj ect property includes a single story residence and a detached two-car garage located at 1116 North French Street, and is wi thin the French Park neighborhood. Surrounding land uses are residential. Analysis of the Issues In March 1999, the City Council approved an ordinance authorizing Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as the Mills Act contracts, for eligible historic properties. The agreement provides monetary incentive to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange to the owner's voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair and to rehabilitate the property as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement triggers the use of a different valuation method in determining the property's assessed value, thereby resulting in potentially significant property tax savings for the owner. EXHIBIT A 25F-3 HPPA No. 2005-12 November 3, 2005 Page 2 One of the eligibility requirements for the Mills Act is that the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The subject property was placed on the local register and categorized as Landmark in May 2000 by the Historic Resources Commission (Exhibi t 1). Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement (Exhibit 2). A review of the property indicates that this Craftsman styled structure is in excellent condition. As a result, a supplemental property rehabilitation plan will not be required as part of this agreement. Photos of the property are included with the agreement as well as a photo location map. The benefits of executing this agreement include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Reduced property tax to allow reinvestment for the long-term preservation of the property. 2. Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation. 3. Provides an addi tional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures. 4. Discourages inappropriate alterations to the historic property. 5. Provides an opportunity for visual improvement to the physical environment of the community. 6. Offers additional support and attention for historic districts and historic structures in the City. CEQA Compliance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review. A Notice of Exemption will be filed for this project. ~~ ally oboleske Assistant Planner II HS:JM hs\historic info\mills act agreements\hppaOS-12-1116_N_French.hrc 25F-4 NAME ADDRESS CITY Alexander House REF.

D Prehistoric [gI Historic D Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Craftsman Bungalow DESCRIPTIONIBACKGROUND RELATED TO PERIOD ARCHITECTURE: The architectural style terminology is adapted from the National Register Bulletin 16A. The Craftsman Bungalow architectural style is an early 20th century American movement, developed by Charles and Henry Greene of Pasadena, California. The height of the movement is between 1900 and 1920's. The Craftsman Bungalow is characterized by the use of natural wood for exposed massive beams and rafters and exterior siding. Some of the most prominent features are: low pitched gabled roof with wide overhangs and projecting brackets; the emphasis on horizontal shapes informally arranged; the use of shingles as exterior finish; broad, gabled entry porches; no applied ornament; creek rock foundations and porches. Many houses include Japanese and Swiss influences in their exterior detailing.

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, settings, and boundaries.) This two story, single family dwelling is topped with low-pitched gabled roofs with wide eaves accented with triangular-shaped knee braces, horizontal lath venting, and exposed rafter tails. Neat rows of alternating long and short wood shingles cover the second story of the house. Original stucco cladding covers the first story. Double-hung windows, with some having vertical muntins in the top half are used throughout the second floor. The single storied wrap-around porch features a front-facing open gable resting on a single beam which supports the gable and forms the top of the pergola to the north of the porch. Pairs of square posts, resting on stucco-clad piers, support the Oriental influenced porch. Carved beams extend from the front fa<;ade of the house to the crossbeam at the front of the porch. Single four by sixes form the railings between the piers. A large plate glass window is located to the north of the wide front door, accented with three narrow vertical beveled glass windows. Sidelights flank the door. The wide front steps are made of concrete and bordered with stucco-clad piers. The original garage was replaced in 1991. No records exist of the freestanding entry trellis located in front of the garage. HISTORIC HIGHLIGHTS: Thomas Jefferson and Mary Alexander are believed to be the first occupants of the house, along with their son James. Thomas was the postmaster, and later his son James was appointed assistant postmaster in 1899. Records indicate that James later lived at 1112 N. French. He served as assistant postmaster for over 30 years. Sidney and Josephine Druce later purchased the house. Sidney was a partner in the Druce Bros. Poultry Ranch, widely known for its production of white leghorn chickens. Josephine was the Alexander's daughter.

This example of residential architecture during the City of Santa Ana's early formation years is located in French Park Historic District. This two-story single family dwelling was built during the height of the development of French Park, a residential district advertised as the "Nob Hill" of Orange County. French Park was home to many prominent businessman, doctors, bankers, attorneys and civil servants from 1880 to the early 1940's. This house is in excellent condition, in an unaltered state, and on its original site. One of the best examples of Craftsman bungalow architecture in the City, it embodies fine features of the Craftsman movement. Horizontal lines are accentuated by low pitched roofs, detailing around the fenestration, wood shingle cladding on the second floor, grouped casement windows, and picture windows on the first floor. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: This is an exceptional example of a Craftsman Bungalow and has a unique architectural significance. Oriental influences present in the detailing of the building include low-pitched gable roofs, a large porch, and a pergola with carved beam-ends. This building has a historic significance to the City of Santa Ana because of its association with the Alexander family, an influential family during the formative years of the City..

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 alternations 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 - 25F-18 MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 1116 North French Street Santa Ana, CA 92701 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. - 11 - 25F-19 MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 1116 North French Street Santa Ana, CA 92701 Exhibit C (photographs attached) .J,..,-..-~,.....
