Adopt a resolution approving Historic Resources Commission Application No. 2023-20 and Historic Register Categorization No. 2023-06 (Exhibit 1). 2. Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached Mills Act agreement with Kelly S. Thomas and Bethany S. Thomas, Trustees of the Thomas Living Trust Dated March 28, 2022, subject to non- substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kelly and Bethany Thomas are requesting approval to designate an existing Spanish Revival style residence located at 925 North Lowell Street to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties, as well as approval to execute a Mills Act agreement with the City of Santa Ana. The property is worthy of “Contributive” categorization because it contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish Revival architecture in Santa Ana, which features an asymmetrical faced; clay tile roof; and tripartite, casement, and double-hung wood windows; among other original features. DISCUSSION Project Location and Site Description The subject property is located on a corner lot, on the east side of North Lowell Street and the south side of West 10th Street, in the Washington Square neighborhood in Santa Ana. The site contains a 1,698-square-foot, Spanish Revival style residence and detached garage, on a 6,368-square-foot residential lot (Exhibit 3).     Historic Resources Commission 14 1/11/2024   HRCA No. 2023-20, HRC No. 2023-06, HPPA No. 2023-12 – Woitke House (925 North Lowell Street) January 11, 2024 Page 2 3 9 0 4 Analysis of the Issues Historical Listing In March 1999, the City Council approved Ordinance No. NS-2363 establishing the Historic Resources Commission and the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission may, by resolution and at a noticed public hearing, designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old. The structure identified meets the 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, as the structure is 95 years old and is a sound example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property. The Woitke House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit was not uncovered; however, County assessor data indicates the property was built in 1928. The address first appears in City directories in 1929. The original architect and builder are unknown. From 1929 to 1932, the subject property was owned by F E Woitke. Russell Munro occupied the property for one year in 1933. From 1934 to 1935, E E Sidnam owned the property. D D Hilyard then bought the property and resided in it from 1936 to 1944. The property is listed as "vacant" in the 1945 city directory and there was no city directory available for 1946. From 1947 to at least 1962, G N Ginther owned the property. No records were available between 1963 and 1964, and in 1965 the address is not listed in the city directory. No records were available from 1966 to 1978, and the address was not listed in 1979-1990. In the 1999-2000 Criss-Cross directory, Herbert McCoy is listed as the building occupant. The present-day owners, Kelly and Bethany Thomas, have owned the property since 2003. No additional information was uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants. The Woitke House is a one story, single-family, Spanish Revival Style residence located on a modestly sized parcel in the Washington Square neighborhood. The asymmetrical residence exhibits a rectangular-shaped plan with a hipped roof clad in clay tiles that has a flat roof at its center. The roof has minimal eave overhang. The exterior of the house is clad in a coarse/textured stucco finish. The primary (west) façade is divided into three bays. A partially enclosed covered patio with multiple arched openings encloses the northern two bays, which features a tripartite wood window and the main entrance. The tripartite window has two casement windows with a centered fixed window and upper     Historic Resources Commission 15 1/11/2024   HRCA No. 2023-20, HRC No. 2023-06, HPPA No. 2023-12 – Woitke House (925 North Lowell Street) January 11, 2024 Page 3 3 9 0 4 multi-light transoms at all three window segments. The main entrance door is composed of a single wood frame door with obscure glass, including metal hardware and decorative metal ornamentation fixed to the door’s exterior. The southern third bay contains a smaller version of the tripartite wood window that is located in the front porch. Fenestration on the side (north) façade features a mix of window types, including paired, single-light casement wood windows; a wide fixed wood window with upper multi-light transoms; a tripartite wood-frame multi-light side door with a central door flanked by narrower doors that is located within an arched recessed porch; and one-over-one double-hung wood windows. Similarly, the side (south) façade’s fenestration is a mix of double-hung wood windows and fixed wood windows. The rear (east) façade contains single-light casement wood windows, a fixed wood window, and double-hung wood windows, along with two wood doors, one of which is a multi-light door and the other has a single upper light. All windows throughout the residence contain a prominent wood window sill. Additional architectural features include terra cotta tile flooring at the main entrance walkway, font and side porches, and rear entrance steps; decorative tiles within the terra cotta flooring. The rear yard contains a single-story, detached garage with a square footprint and a flat roof with parapet. Clay tile coping wraps around the garage’s parapet roofline, with a clay tile roof awning at the primary (north) façade. Garage fenestration consists of a metal roll up door at the primary (north) façade, and a wood door and fixed wood window at the side (west) facade. The property is landscaped with a front lawn, two mature palm trees that flank the entrance walkway, additional medium-sized mature trees, along with shrubs, bushes, small palm trees and succulents. A tall, manicured hedge wraps around the side (north) façade, which is contained by a small metal fence. Character-defining features of the Woitke House include, but may not be limited to: Rectangular-shaped building footprint and massing; asymmetrical primary façade; hipped roof clad in clay tiles that has a flat roof at its center; minimal eave overhang; original smooth stucco siding (to be restored with or without trowel pattern); a partially enclosed covered patio at the primary façade with multiple arched openings; a covered patio at the side (north) facade with an arched opening; two tripartite wood windows at the primary (west) façade that each contain two casement windows with a centered fixed window and upper multi-light transoms at all three window segments; additional windows including single-light casement wood windows, a tripartite wood-frame multi-light side door with a central door flanked by narrower doors, fixed wood windows, one-over-one double-hung wood windows; rear, single and multi-light wood-frame doors; prominent wood window sill on all original windows; terra cotta tile flooring at the main entrance walkway, font and side porches, and rear entrance steps; decorative tiles within the terra cotta flooring; detached garage with a flat roof and parapet that has clay tile coping and a clay tile roof awning at the primary (north) façade; and front yard landscaping including small and mature palm trees and succulents.     Historic Resources Commission 16 1/11/2024   HRCA No. 2023-20, HRC No. 2023-06, HPPA No. 2023-12 – Woitke House (925 North Lowell Street) January 11, 2024 Page 4 3 9 0 4 The Woitke House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish Revival architecture in Santa Ana. Mills Act Agreement Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include: •Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood •A mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation •Incentives for potential buyers to purchase historic structures •Discouraging inappropriate alterations to the property The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement subject to a completion of future improvements as described in an attached Work Plan. Overall, future improvements (Work Plan) proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include the following: replace electrical knob-and- tube wiring, replace all security lighting with compatible lighting, repair in-kind all wood windows as needed and replace any wood rot that is beyond repair to match existing, rear yard gate replacement or removal of the decorative iron ornamentation on existing gate, front door and garage door replacement with compatible style doors, stucco restoration with compatible smooth stucco with trowel pattern, earthquake retrofit of property’s foundation, driveway and garage floor repairs, and interior wood restoration including doors, floors, and window casing, along with general on-going maintenance. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively and will maintain the property’s character-defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property.     Historic Resources Commission 17 1/11/2024   HRCA No. 2023-20, HRC No. 2023-06, HPPA No. 2023-12 – Woitke House (925 North Lowell Street) January 11, 2024 Page 5 3 9 0 4 As part of the Mills Act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation. Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features, landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement to enable the Mills Act. Public Notification The subject site is located within the Washington Square Neighborhood Association. The president of this Neighborhood Association was notified by mail 10 days prior to this public hearing. In addition, the project site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange County Reporter and mailed notices were sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, either written or electronic, has been received from any members of the public. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is exempt from further review pursuant to Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 31 – Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation) as these actions are designed to preserve historic resources.

ADDRESS 925 North Lowell Street CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92703 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1928 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Contributive HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Washington Square CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C/3 CALIFORNIA REGISTER STATUS CODE 5S3 Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mission/Spanish Revival The Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival style, as its name implies, encompasses two major subcategories. The Mission Revival vocabulary, popular between 1890 and 1920, drew its inspiration from the missions of the Southwest. Identifying features include curved parapets (or espadaña); red tiled roofs and coping; low-pitched roofs, often with overhanging eaves; porch roofs supported by large, square piers; arches; and wall surfaces commonly covered in smooth stucco. The Spanish Colonial Revival flourished between 1915 and 1940, reaching its apex during the 1920s and 1930s. The movement received widespread attention after the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego in 1915, where lavish interpretations of Spanish and Mexican prototypes were showcased. Easily recognizable hallmarks of the Spanish Colonial Revival are low-pitched roofs, usually with little or no overhangs and red tile roof coverings, flat roofs surrounded by tiled parapets; and stuccoed walls. The Spanish vocabulary also includes arches; asymmetry; balconies and patios; window grilles; and decorative elements of wood, wrought iron, tile, or stone. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Woitke House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of a Spanish Revival style residential building. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish Revival architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3)).

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1928 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Woitke House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style house in Santa Ana. The original building permit was not uncovered, however County Assessor's data notes its build date as 1928. The address first appears in city directories in 1929. The original architect and builder are unknown. From 1929 to 1932, the subject property was owned by F E Woitke. Russell Munro occupied the property for one year in 1933. From 1934 to 1935, E E Sidnam owned the property. D D Hilyard then bought the property and resided in it from 1936 to 1944. The property is listed as "vacant" in the 1945 city directory and there was no city directory available for 1946. From 1947 to at least 1962, G N Ginther owned the property. No records were available between 1963 and 1964, and in 1965 the address is not listed in the city directory. No records were available from 1966 to 1978, and the address was not listed in 1979-1990.

Description (continued): Fenestration on the side (north) façade features a mix of window types, including paired, single-light casement wood windows; a wide fixed wood window with upper multi-light transoms; a tripartite wood-frame multi-light side door with a central door flanked by narrower doors that is located within an arched recessed porch; and one-over-one double-hung wood windows (Figures 4 and 5). Similarly, the side (south) façade’s fenestration is a mix of double-hung wood windows and fixed wood windows. The rear (east) façade contains single-light casement wood windows, a fixed wood window, and double-hung wood windows, along with two wood doors, one of which is a multi-light door and the other has a single upper light (Figure 6). All windows throughout the residence contain a prominent wood window sill. Additional architectural features include terra cotta tile flooring at the main entrance walkway, font and side porches, and rear entrance steps; decorative tiles within the terra cotta flooring. The rear yard contains a single-story, detached garage with a square footprint and a flat roof with parapet. Clay tile coping wraps around the garage’s parapet roofline, with a clay tile roof awning at the primary (north) façade. Garage fenestration consists of a metal roll up door at the primary (north) façade, and a wood door and fixed wood window at the side (west) facade (Figure 7). The property is landscaped with a front lawn, two mature palm trees that flank the entrance walkway, additional medium-sized mature trees, along with shrubs, bushes, small palm trees and succulents. A tall, manicured hedge wraps around the side (north) façade, which is contained by a small metal fence. *B10. Significance (continued): In the 1999-2000 Criss-Cross directory, Herbert McCoy is listed as the building occupant. The present-day owners, Kelly and Bethany Thomas, have owned the property since 2003. No additional information was uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants. The Woitke House is located in Washington Square, a neighborhood located northwest of the city center bounded by West Seventeenth Street on the north, West Civic Center Drive on the south, North Flower Street on the east, and North Bristol Street on the west. Most of this area was owned by the family of Jacob Ross, who had purchased portions of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana in 1868 and 1869. Walnuts and other crops were grown in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with a few farmhouses, most notably the Ross-McNeal House at 1020 North Baker Street, dotting the landscape. By 1905, Baker and Towner were the only streets in the neighborhood, which extended from Hickey (now Civic Center) only as far as Washington and which contained only about a dozen homes. The status quo had not changed much by 1915, when a brick yard was located at the northern terminus of Olive Street at Hickey. In 1925, the beginning of the development that would convert this largely agricultural area into a middle class neighborhood of single-family homes over the next 25 years had begun. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Tudor Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival homes were the standard, with American Colonial Revival saltboxes and ranch style homes favored in the years before and after World War II. During the 1930s, many of the homes were built by local contractor Emmett Rogers, who sold lots and built homes according to standard plans, which individual property owners could customize to their tastes ("Washington Square: A Neighborhood of Pride," Washington Square Neighborhood Association). With the return of servicemen following the war and the accompanying demand for homes in southern California, the development of Washington Square was all but completed. The Woitke House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact example of a Spanish Revival style style home in Santa Ana. Located in Washington Square, the house was built in 1928. The recommended categorization is “Contributive” because it contributes to the overall character and history of Washington Square and is a representative example of Spanish Revival architecture in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2(3)). Character-defining features of the Woitke House include, but may not be limited to: Rectangular-shaped building footprint and massing; asymmetrical primary façade; hipped roof clad in clay tiles that has a flat roof at its center; minimal eave overhang; original smooth stucco siding (to be restored with or without trowel pattern); a partially enclosed covered patio at the primary façade with multiple arched openings; a covered patio at the side (north) facade with an arched opening; two tripartite wood windows at the primary (west) façade that each contain two casement windows with a centered fixed window and upper multi-light transoms at all three window segments; additional windows including single-light casement wood windows, a tripartite wood-frame multi-light side door with a central door flanked by narrower doors, fixed wood windows, one-over-one double-hung wood windows; rear, single and multi-light wood-frame doors; prominent wood window sill on all original windows; terra cotta tile flooring at the main entrance walkway, font and side porches, and rear entrance steps; decorative tiles within the terra cotta flooring; detached garage with a flat roof and parapet that has clay tile coping and a clay tile roof awning at the primary (north) façade; and front yard landscaping including small and mature palm trees and succulents.     Historic Resources Commission 38 1/11/2024   State of California  The Resources Agency Primary # _____________________________________________ DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI # ________________________________________________ CONTINUATION SHEET Trinomial _____________________________________________ Page 4_ of 5_Resource Name: Woitke House *Recorded by Andrea Dumovich Heywood *Date January 11, 2024 Continuation  Update DPR 523L *B12.

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     Historic Resources Commission 41 1/11/2024   MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 925 North Lowell Street Santa Ana, CA 92703 - 2 - size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or environment. 10.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bejay and Laura Magnusen are requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA) No. 2023-10. Specifically, the request is to allow exterior modifications consisting of modifying four existing balconies with metal railings for child safety requirements that is consistent with Building Code regulations, which are located on all four facades at the second story; replacing the non-compatible rear (west) entrance stoop at the main residential building with a more period-appropriate stoop; adding 69 square feet to the existing garage-accessory structure in order to convert it to a three-car garage with additional storage; and expanding and repaving the driveway to accommodate a third parking space, for the Elliott House located at 1904 North Heliotrope Drive. The property was listed as “Landmark” in 2003 on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and is a contributor to the National Register-listed Floral Park Historic District. DISCUSSION Project Location and Site Description The subject property is located on a corner lot at the intersections of Heliotrope Drive and 19th Street. It is located on the west side of North Heliotrope Drive in the Floral Park National Register Historic District in Santa Ana. The General Plan land use designation for the site is Low Density Residential (LR) and the zoning district is Single Family Residential (R1). The site contains a 5,010-square-foot, Italian Renaissance Revival style residence, with a detached garage and accessory building that are interally attached, on a 17,670-square-foot residential lot. The property is known as the Elliott House built in 1931 and is a contributor to the National Register-listed Floral Park Historic District. The property is also individually listed as No. 332 on the Santa Ana Register of Historical     Historic Resources Commission 49 1/11/2024   HEMA No. 2023-10 – The Elliott House (1904 North Heliotrope Drive) January 11, 2024 Page 2 3 9 0 6 Properties (“Register”). It was placed on the Register in 2003 and was categorized as “Landmark.” The Elliott House is a two-story single-family residence on a large corner parcel, sited with a deep setback and constructed in an Italian Renaissance Revival style. The residence has two primary facades facing North Heliotrope to the east and West 19th Street to the south, with the main entrance facing North Heliotrope. The garage is detached from the main residence, but is attached to a one-story accessory structure, located west of the residence. The main house delineates a "T" -shaped plan, composed of a one-story front wing and a two-story rear wing that makes up most of the building’s footprint. The residence is clad in stucco and contains a hipped clay tile roof. Facing north Heliotrope Drive, the residence is mostly symmetrical in design, utilizing arches throughout the ground floor of both primary facades in both window and arched arcade form. The building’s southeast corner of the two-story wing contains a recessed arcaded porch that covers the main entrance. The northeast corner also contains an arcade porch. Wood windows throughout the residence are mostly paired, multi-paned casement and French doors. Ground floor windows and doors are arched while upper story windows are primarily rectangular. The one-story wing’s rounded transoms above the windows and doors feature angled muntins in a radiating pattern. Two iron-railed balconies with support columns are situated at the upper south façade and northeast corner of the two-story wing. A single balconette is also above the main entrance arcaded porch of the two-story wing. The ground-floor terrace is contained by a classical balustrade with urn-topped pedestals that spans both primary facades. Landscape includes a prominent front cornered lawn with palm trees throughout. Scored concrete paths curve through the landscape to the terrace. The rear contains a two-car garage along the parcel’s west property line, facing south. A one-story accessory building that is located between the garage and main residence and is internally attached to the garage, also faces south. A curved wingwall extends down from the main residence to the southeast corner of the accessory building, containing an arched rear property entrance. The garage has a rectangular footprint, clad in smooth stucco, and capped with a hipped, clay tile roof. The south façade’s garage door is a paneled wood roll-up door. Although smaller, the accessory building also has a rectangular footprint, is clad in smooth stucco, has a band of multi-light wood windows that are alternating fixed and inswing operation below the roofline at the south façade, and is capped with a gable, clay tile roof. The main house and detached garage were built in 1931. Alterations to the house include an “addition to the residence 15x22” in 1944, per historic building permits. Although the permit does not specify, it was likely for the existing accessory building that is internally attached to the detached garage. A 1937 Sanborn Map confirms that the main house and detached garage were extant at that time, and the existing accessory building was not present. A rear-yard swimming pool was added to the     Historic Resources Commission 50 1/11/2024   HEMA No. 2023-10 – The Elliott House (1904 North Heliotrope Drive) January 11, 2024 Page 3 3 9 0 6 property in 1957. A reroof of existing clay tiles and an interior kitchen remodel occurred in 2001. On July 19, 2023, administrative permits were approved, for exterior restoration work. The scope includes restoring the original precast concrete balustrade, stucco exterior, and first floor doors and windows. The administrative HEMA scope also included like-for- like replacement of all second-story doors and windows to remove existing lead, with new dual glazing (except for the art glass window), removal of second-story deteriorated terra cotta and non-original concrete decking and replacement with new tiles to match original, resloping an existing decking to shed water away from the home, infill of service delivery hatch for security purposes and electrical rewiring, and in-kind replacement of rain drainage system. All 2023 administrative HEMA items follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards as analyzed by JANUS consultants in the Memorandum dated November 13, 2023 and Exhibit 7 of this report. The administrative HEMA scope of work is considered Phase I of II. All Phase I work is currently under construction except for the decking work on the upper balconies. The decking work cannot begin until after the requested HEMA is approved because it requires the temporary removal of the existing metal balcony railings. Reinstalling the metal balcony railings requires the replacement to meet current Building Code, in which a HEMA is required. Phase II scope of work is discussed below, under the Project Description section. Alterations that occurred to the property at an unknown date include the replacement of the detached garage door, which is a non- compatible wood paneled door. The main house appears intact and is in good condition. The property is landscaped with a prominent front lawn to the east and south, including concrete pathways, manicured hedges, small and medium sized shrubs and trees, and several mature palm trees. The rear yard contains a pool near the property’s northwest corner. Character-defining features of the Elliott House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to: materials and finishes; roof configuration, materials, and detailing; massing; windows and doors; terrace, balconies and arcades; chimney; architectural details such as arches, columns, capitals, impost moldings, wing wall, garage; and original landscape features such as the palm trees and concrete paths. Project Description The proposed project, considered Phase II of exterior modifications to the subject property, consists of modifying four existing balconies with metal railings for child safety requirements consistent with Building Code regulations, which are located on all four facades at the second story; replacing the non-compatible rear (west) entrance stoop at the main residential building with a more period-appropriate stoop; adding 69 square feet to the existing garage-accessory structure in order to convert it to a three-car garage with additional storage; and expanding and repaving the driveway to accommodate a third parking space.     Historic Resources Commission 51 1/11/2024   HEMA No. 2023-10 – The Elliott House (1904 North Heliotrope Drive) January 11, 2024 Page 4 3 9 0 6 The four existing two-foot-five-inch (29 inches) tall metal railings will be modified to meet Building Code regulations consisiting of a minimum of four inch spacing between railings and a minimum height of three-feet-six-inches (42 inches). The four balconies are located in the following locations: the primary (south) façade, northeast corner including both side (north) and primary (east) facades, and the northewst corner including both side (north) and rear (west) facades. The four balcony railings, which have peeling lead paint, will be removed, stripped of all lead paint, modified, and reinstalled in their existing locations on the main building in order to accommodate child safety and conform with current Building Code requirements. The modified railings will be taller with nine inches added to the lower portion of each balustrade. The new balustrade extensions will match existing in material, however a new knuckle will be placed at the top and bottom parts of the extension in order to differentiate the new from the old materials. The entire balcony railing with balustrades will sit on two four-inch metal mounting posts, making the four balconies a total of three-feet-six-inches (42 inches) tall. In order to reduce the spacing between each balustrade, six new balustrades will be added between each original balustrade (alternating new and original), and will be placed within the center of each existing scrollwork. The balustrade opening width will shrink from eight inches to three-and-a-half inches between each balustrade. The new balustrades will be a simple metal design similar to the original balustrades without knuckles in order to distinguish them apart from the originals. The existing top rail and metal scroll work at all four balconies will not be modified and will remain in place. The non-compatible rear (west) façade concrete stoop with flagstone veneer and metal railing at the rear entrance will be removed entirely and replaced with a more compatible entrance stoop. The existing stoop with four concrete steps accesible south of the entrance will be replaced with a new stoop that will have three concrete steps leading from both the north and south of the new stoop. Two new wrought iron hand rails will attach to the exterior wall of the main house. A new masonry wall of five-feet-two-inches in width and four-feet-eight-inches in height will be added in front of the rear entrance. The existing two-car garage and acessory structure will be modified with 69 square feet added to the north façade of the accessory structure footprint in order to accommodate a new, third parking space with additional storage. The addition will replace non-original double paneled doors with new, wood-frame multi-light double doors and multi-light side lights at the rear (north) façade. It will also require moving an original rear pedestrian garage door slightly north along the east façade, in place of an existing original double- hung wood window, to accompodate the new square footage. The double-hung window will be removed. Two new interior partions will also be added inside the garage/accessory structure to create new storage space, at the northwest corner and at the east respectively. Both storage partition spaces will have new exterior doors added for access, which will be located on rear/secondary facades and will not be visible from the public right-of-way. One of the new doors will require removal of a non-original rear-facing window. Modifications required at the primary (south) façade of the accessory building include the removal of a band of upper wood windows, which are alternating fixed and     Historic Resources Commission 52 1/11/2024   HEMA No. 2023-10 – The Elliott House (1904 North Heliotrope Drive) January 11, 2024 Page 5 3 9 0 6 inswing operation, and lower wall to accommodate a new, third garage door. The building expansion will also require the existing clay tile roof ridge on the accessory structure to extend to the existing garage roof. The new roof portion will be clad in clay tiles to match existing. The project also includes additional items that are not part of the Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA) as they are considered administrative and approved at the Staff level. For reference, administrative items include the replacement of the south driveway and the removal of non-original metal security fencing and a masonry block wall at the northeast corner of the residence. In order to accommodate the additional parking space, the existing concrete driveway and apron will be replaced and expanded. The apron will be expanded with eight additional feet to the east and a new curb cut will be created. The fencing will be replaced with a new security wall and wood gate to allow easier circulation to the rear yard. A new decomposed granite pathway will be added along the north property line leading from the sidewalk to the east to the new wood gate to the west. The pathway will require the removal of some existing shrubs along its path and for access to the sidewalk. Additionally, minimal landscape features will be removed as part of the driveway expansion, which includes some grass and part of the existing south hedge that will be trimmed to allow for the driveway sight triangle. Analysis of the Issues As proposed, the project will follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOIS) for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, & Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Kay D. Weeks and Anne E. Grimmer, revised 2017). The proposed exterior modifications would be considered a rehabilitation project and as such be evaluated against ten criteria. The Memorandum by Janus Consultants dated November 13, 2023 and Exhibit 7 of this report assessed the proposed project against the SOIS for Rehabilitation and determined that the project is in compliance with the Standards. Staff has reviewed the proposed modifications in comparison to the SOIS. The following is a review of the findings as they pertain to the applicable criteria: 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal changes to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. The project complies with Standard No. 1. The property currently maintains its historic use as a single-family residence with a detached garage. The use is not proposed to change. Although the two-car garage is proposed to be a three-car garage, the garage use shall remain. The accessory structure attached to the garage is not original and is not considered a character defining feature. Therefore, the removal of the existing band of windows and addition of a second garage door at the south façade at will not disrupt the historic property or create change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and special relationships.     Historic Resources Commission 53 1/11/2024   HEMA No. 2023-10 – The Elliott House (1904 North Heliotrope Drive) January 11, 2024 Page 6 3 9 0 6 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. The project complies with Standard No. 2. The historic character of the subject property will be retained and preserved. The proposed balcony modifications will not remove any historic materials. Although the balcony’s balustrades will be altered for child safety, the overall design will remain substantially intact, with additional balustrades added and a lengthened height. It does not alter any features or spaces that characterize the property. The proposed rear stoop replacement will also not remove any character-defining features that are visible from the public right-of-way, or alter features and spaces that characterize the property. The flagstone veneer is not a compatible or consistent material seen in the Italian Renaissance Revival Style or from 1931 when the residence was constructed, and therefore is likely not original. Although the existing metal handrail could be original, it is less ornately designed than others located throughout the residence and is located at the rear façade. Additionally, the garage and accessory building alterations will not remove historic materials or alter features and spaces that characterize the property. An original, east-facing pedestrian door at the garage’s rear will be moved slightly north in place of an original double-hung window to accommodate the 69-square-foot addition. Alterations to the accessory structure are necessary for the third parking space and do not remove any original features as the structure itself is not original. Minor modifications the original garage are necessary for the expansion, however they are rear-facing and not substantial changes. The new driveway and security wall with wood gate will not disrupt any of the existing historic materials, features, and spaces. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. The project complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed changes will not create a false sense of historical development. The proposed balcony extension will add new knuckle features to the existing balustrades in order to identify the new extensions from the old. The new balustrades to be added between the existing will have no ornamentation to distinguish them from the originals. The non- compatible rear stoop will be replaced with a more compatible yet minimal style stoop that will not create a false sense of historical development. The garage and accessory building alterations will also be compatible with the historic property without adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties. The new garage door will be a simple design made of wood with a walnut stain.     Historic Resources Commission 54 1/11/2024   HEMA No. 2023-10 – The Elliott House (1904 North Heliotrope Drive) January 11, 2024 Page 7 3 9 0 6 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. The project complies with Standard No. 4. The project will not remove any significant features that were added over time. The accessory building attached to the detached garage is not original to the property and was likely added in 1944 per historic building permits. However, the structure is not a character-defining feature of the property and has not gained significance in its own right. Additionally, the rear (west) stoop’s flagstone veneer is likely not original to the property and is not compatibly designed with the main house. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved. The project complies with Standard No. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the property will be preserved. The project does not propose to remove character- defining features or materials/finishes. Although the project includes the modification of four original metal balconies at the main residence to provide added safety, the proposed changes including elongating the balustrades and adding new balustrades to reduce the opening width, are minimal and will not cause a substantial change the to the historic property. The additional items of replacing the rear (west) stoop and modifications to the garage/accessory building do not include the removal of any character-defining features or original materials/finishes. 6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. Standard 6 does not apply as the proposed project does not deal with issues of deterioration of existing materials or replacement of existing features. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. Standard 7 does not apply as the project will not involve chemical or physical treatments on the building and will be in full compliance with the Standards. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.     Historic Resources Commission 55 1/11/2024   HEMA No. 2023-10 – The Elliott House (1904 North Heliotrope Drive) January 11, 2024 Page 8 3 9 0 6 Standard 8 does not apply as there are no known archeological resources onsite. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. The project complies with Standard No. 9. The balcony modifications will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The balustrade extensions below the original materials will be identified by knuckles added to the top and bottom of each extension. The new balustrade’s simple design will not include knuckles to differentiate them from the original materials and designs. The rear stoop alteration will also not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new stoop will be differentiated from the old through its minimal design consisting of a simple masonry wall with stucco finish and concrete steps. The wrought iron handrails on either side of the stoop will reference the previous hand rail with a curved end, which is not confirmed as an original building feature. The garage/accessory building alterations will primarily alter the accessory building footprint and exterior, which is not original to the property. The garage alterations, which consist of moving an original door, removing an original window, and adding a new door opening, are minimal in nature and will not destroy the property’s significant historic materials, features, and spatial relationships. These alterations are all rear-facing and will not be visible from the public right-of-way. The new pedestrian wood door added to the garage’s rear (north) façade will be custom built to resemble an existing garage door. The new, primary (south) façade garage door to be added to the accessory building will feature a wood door with narrow vertical paneling that is walnut stained, and will be understood as a compatible, non-original door. Additionally, the 69-foot rear accessory building addition will remove non-historic materials and will not alter any spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new, multi-pane wood double doors with side lights will reference but not mirror existing doors and windows on the primary structure. The new security wall and wood gate at the northeast corner will also be understood as a new site feature. Utilitarian in nature, the wood gate and wall will complement the historic property. 10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. The project complies with Standard No. 10. The proposed project is considered generally reversible, as it does not remove essential aspects of the historic     Historic Resources Commission 56 1/11/2024   HEMA No. 2023-10 – The Elliott House (1904 North Heliotrope Drive) January 11, 2024 Page 9 3 9 0 6 property’s form and materials. Although the proposed balcony modifications are not reversible, the proposed modifications will maintain all original materials and still closely resemble the original railing design with the benefit of meeting current Building Code. The rear stoop alteration will remove the existing flagstone veneer that is likely not original, and replace it with a more compatible rear entrance steps and stoop. The garage alterations will allow the space to better function while providing compatible exterior alterations that are considered reversible, which includes moving one pedestrian door slightly north on the east façade, and the removal of one double-hung window on the garage’s east façade, to accommodate the accessory structure’s rear addition. The accessory structure is not original and therefore proposed changes do not impact the historic property. In conclusion, staff has determined that the project complies with The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Specifically, the analysis indicates that the proposed balcony and stoop modifications, and garage/accessory building alteration and addition will be compatible and consistent with the existing architectural elements that reflect the original Italian Renaissance Revival style architecture while being mindful not to disturb the historic materials that characterize the property. Although the balcony modifications are visible from both primary facades, they are minimal and considered reversible. The stoop and garage/accessory building alterations are primarily rear-facing. The new work will be differentiated from the old and the property will maintain its historic and character-defining features. Although the accessory building is not original, the rear 69-square-foot addition will also allow for the option for it to be removed in such a way that the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment will be unimpaired. The role of the Historic Resources Commission is to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness upon finding that the proposed modifications do not substantially change the character and integrity of the historic properties per Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards per CEQA and the City’s Certified Local Government agreement with the State of California. Staff finds that the historic exterior modification application meets the necessary criteria to be awarded a Certificate of Appropriateness and should be approved. It is also recommended that staff approve the exact materials and finishes to be used prior to installation to ensure quality and compatibility.

The Historic Resources Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. Bejay and Laura Magnusen (“Applicants”) are requesting approval of Historic Exterior Modification Application No. 2023-10 to allow exterior modifications to the property at 1904 North Heliotrope Drive, historically known as the Elliott House. B. The legal owners of the property are Bejay Magnusen and Laura Magnusen, husband and wife as community property with right of survivorship. C. The legal description for the subject property is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein. D. The Elliott House is a contributor to the National Register-listed Floral Park Historic District and is individually listed as No. 332 on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties and categorized as “Landmark” in 2003. A. The Elliott House was originally built in 1931 and is architecturally significant as an Italian Renaissance Revival style residence. Character-defining exterior features of the Elliott House that should be preserved include, but may not be limited to, materials and finishes; roof configuration, materials, and detailing; massing; windows and doors; terrace, balconies and arcades; chimney; architectural details such as arches, columns, capitals, impost moldings, wing wall, garage; and original landscape features such as the palm trees and concrete paths. B. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, no exterior physical modifications, other than those identified by the Historic Resources Commission for administrative approval by city staff, shall be permitted with respect to a historic structure until the Historic Resources Commission approves such request at a duly noticed public hearing and issues a certificate of appropriateness. The Historic Resources Commission shall issue the certificate of appropriateness upon finding that the proposed     Historic Resources Commission 59 1/11/2024   FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Resolution No. 2024-XX Page 2 of 10 modification(s) does not substantially change the character and integrity of the historic property. C. The proposed exterior modifications to the five-bedroom, two-story residence with detached garage and accessory structure include modifying four existing balconies with metal railings for child safety requirements that is consistent with Building Code regulations, which are located on all four facades at the second story; replacing the non-compatible rear (west) entrance stoop at the main residential building with a more period- appropriate stoop; adding 69 square feet to the existing garage-accessory structure in order to convert it to a three-car garage with additional storage; and expanding and repaving the driveway to accommodate a third parking space. D. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 30-6, the Historic Resources Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on January 11, 2024, for the request for exterior modifications to the Elliott House. E. Since the property is deemed a historic structure, all exterior modifications are required to meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. 1. The following Secretary of Interior’s Standards are applicable: i. The project complies with Standard No. 1. The property currently maintains its historic use as a single-family residence with a detached garage. The use is not proposed to change. Although the two-car garage is proposed to be a three-car garage, the garage use shall remain. The accessory structure attached to the garage is not original and is not considered a character defining feature. Therefore, the removal of the existing band of windows and addition of a second garage door at the south façade at will not disrupt the historic property or create change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and special relationships. ii. The project complies with Standard No. 2. The historic character of the subject property will be retained and preserved. The proposed balcony modifications will not remove any historic materials. Although the balcony’s balustrades will be altered for child safety, the overall design will remain substantially intact, with additional balustrades added and a lengthened height. It does not alter any features or spaces that characterize the property. The proposed rear stoop replacement will also not remove any character defining features that are visible from the public right-of-way, or alter features and spaces that characterize the property. The flagstone veneer is not a compatible or consistent material seen in the Italian Renaissance Revival Style or from 1931 when the residence was constructed, and therefore is likely     Historic Resources Commission 60 1/11/2024   FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 Resolution No. 2024-XX Page 3 of 10 not original. Although the existing metal handrail could be original, it is less ornately designed than others located throughout the residence and is located at the rear façade. Additionally, the garage and accessory building alterations will not remove historic materials or alter features and spaces that characterize the property. An original, east-facing pedestrian door at the garage’s rear will be moved slightly north in place of an original double-hung window to accommodate the 69- square-foot addition. Alterations to the accessory structure are necessary for the third parking space and do not remove any original features as the structure itself is not original. Minor modifications the original garage are necessary for the expansion, however they are rear-facing and not substantial changes. The new driveway and security wall with wood gate will not disrupt any of the existing historic materials, features, and spaces. iii. The project complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed changes will not create a false sense of historical development. The proposed balcony extension will add new knuckle features to the existing balustrades in order to identify the new extensions from the old. The new balustrades to be added between the existing will have no ornamentation to distinguish them from the originals.

Although the project includes the modification of four original metal balconies at the main residence to provide added safety, the proposed changes including elongating the balustrades and adding new balustrades to reduce the opening width, are minimal and will not cause a substantial change the to the historic property. The additional items of replacing the rear (west) stoop and modifications to the garage/accessory building do not include the removal of any character defining features or original materials/finishes. vi. The project complies with Standard No. 9. The balcony modifications will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The balustrade extensions below the original materials will be identified by knuckles added to the top and bottom of each extension. The new balustrade’s simple design will not include knuckles to differentiate them from the original materials and designs. The rear stoop alteration will also not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new stoop will be differentiated from the old through its minimal design consisting of a simple masonry wall with stucco finish and concrete steps. The wrought iron handrails on either side of the stoop will reference the previous hand rail with a curved end, which is not confirmed as an original building feature.

ADDRESS 1904 North Heliotrope Drive CITY Santa Ana ZIP 92706 ORANGE COUNTY YEAR BUILT 1931 LOCAL REGISTER CATEGORY: Landmark HISTORIC DISTRICT N/A NEIGHBORHOOD Floral Park NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION C NATIONAL REGISTER STATUS CODE 3S Location: Not for Publication Unrestricted Prehistoric Historic Both ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Italian Renaissance (Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) The late nineteenth and twentieth century revival of the Italian Renaissance style, also known as the Italian Renaissance Revival, was popular from the late nineteenth century until the 1930s. It was inspired by the designs of the palazzi of northern Italy and popularized by American architects McKim, Mead, and White. Utilized on public buildings and commercial buildings, the vocabulary of the style also influenced the appearance of ornate homes. Characteristic features associated with the residential usage of the style generally include masonry or stucco exteriors; hipped tile roofs; pilasters, columns, quoins, and other classical details; and a balanced, often symmetrical appearance. Lower stories are generally emphasized through their proportions and fenestration. Arches are incorporated into the majority of the designs, often referring to Palladian precedents. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION: The Elliott House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Italian Renaissance (Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) style. The house also contributes to the historic character of Floral Park through its age, style, scale, and historic association with a member of the local professional community. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Landmark” for its unique architectural significance as an intact and graceful interpretation of the Italian Renaissance (Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) style.

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.) Located on a double lot at the northwest corner of Heliotrope Drive and Nineteenth Street, this is a generously scaled home in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. The “T” shaped building consists of a larger, two-story rear (west) wing and a smaller, one-story front wing, both of which are covered with stucco and topped by hipped tile roofs. Oriented towards Heliotrope Drive, the façade is nearly symmetrical in composition. The predominant motif of the design of the house is the arch, used for openings on all three sides of the one-story wing, for a recessed, three-bay, arcaded entry porch at the southeast corner of the two-story wing, for a second arcade at the northeast corner, and for lower story windows on the south elevation. Detailing includes cast stone impost moldings and column capitals. The windows are primarily paired, multi-paned casements and French doors. The monumental round-headed openings on the one-story wing feature muntins arranged in a radiating pattern. Iron-railed balconies are centered on the south elevation upper story and recessed above the northeast arcade. Columns provide support for the arcades and divide the balconies into bays. A balconet is centered above the entry (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) *P3b. Resource Attributes: (list attributes and codes) HP2. Single-family Property *P4.

Also address integrity) The Elliott House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the comfortably sized and fashionably detailed revival styled homes that were built in Floral Park during the 1920s and 1930s. This Italian Renaissance styled home was built for Dr. Arthur C. Elliott by developers Ball and Honer, using in-house designers. The 1931 cost of construction for the ten- room house was $20,000, a significant sum at the time. The Elliotts retained possession of the property until at least 1975, although the initial resident of the house, according to the 1933 city directory, was Mrs. Marie Turley (no occupation given). Dr. Elliott maintained an office in Anaheim in the late 1930s and early 1940s; he apparently moved into this house in the mid 1940s. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 3.) B11.

Significance (continued): The Elliott House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by East Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of oranges, avocados, and walnuts 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 II, 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 the early post World War II 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 (2003) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens. The Elliott House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Property under Criterion 1 for its exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Italian Renaissance (Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) style. Notable in this regard are the symmetrical massing, hipped roof configuration, lower story emphasis through greater height, the use of stucco and tile, the incorporation of arches, and the classical detailing of columns and impost moldings. The house also contributes to the historic character of Floral Park through its age, style, scale, and historic association with a member of the local professional community. Additionally, the house has been categorized as “Landmark” for its unique architectural significance as an intact and graceful interpretation of the Italian Renaissance (Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Revivals) style. All original exterior features of the Elliott House are considered character-defining and should be preserved, including, but not limited to: materials and finishes; roof configuration, materials, and detailing; massing; windows and doors; terrace, balconies and arcades; chimney; architectural details such as arches, columns, capitals, impost moldings, wing wall, garage; and original landscape features such as the palm trees and concrete paths. *B12.

Part 67. Although the home is generally well preserved, a number of rehabilitation efforts are planned for the property. The owners of the property have engaged JANUS to provide professional historic preservation consultation services in association with those efforts. The work scope has been broken into two phases. Phase I is comprised of routine maintenance items and those considered as like-for-like replacement. The Phase I scope of work includes the following: ƒ restoration of concrete balustrade ƒ restoration of exterior stucco cladding ƒ lead abatement of interior and exterior doors and windows throughout the home ƒ restoration of balcony decking ƒ modifications to service delivery hatch ƒ replacement of deteriorated rain gutters and downspouts ƒ abatement of bathroom tile and fixtures containing lead The scope of work included in Phase II includes the following rehabilitation items: ƒ lead abatement and modification of the existing balcony railings ƒ limited removal/replacement of non-historic security and privacy walls/gates ƒ replacing the existing concrete driveway and apron ƒ replace stoop at rear of house ƒ rehabilitating and modifying the existing pool house building The following report is intended to provide an analysis of the Phase II treatments in regard to their conformance with the recommendations of the U. S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties [SOI Standards].3 In summary, JANUS has determined that the scope of work outlined in the project documents to be in general conformance with the SOI Standards.

The information included in this assessment is based upon a visual survey of the interior, and exterior elements from the surrounding grade and exterior balconies only. No inspection openings, materials testing, or hands-on inspection from ladders or scaffolding were performed. Documentation in the form of field notes and photographs recorded the conditions observed. The observation conducted by JANUS was not intended to test for, or identify structural deficiencies, hazardous materials or dangerous conditions. In addition to this assessment, JANUS also recommends the owners perform additional inspections by a qualified professionals such as a structural engineer and a professional building inspector. Both the onsite observations and the preparation of this assessment have been carried out by Robert Imboden, Assoc. AIA. Robert is the founder and owner of JANUS; an Orange County- based planning firm, specializing in historic properties. Robert holds undergraduate degrees in both Interior Design and Art History, as well as a Masters Degree of Architecture from California State Polytechnic University – Pomona.

Image 03: Rear façade of the pool room as viewed from the rear yard. Archival building permits indicate that the existing pool room building was constructed in 1944. As the pool was only completed in 1957, the original use of the building is unknown. The building is detached from the home. The pool room building I is attached to the garage, as well as a masonry garden wall which forms the lower portion of the front façade of the building. Unlike the house and garage, the pool house building is clad with wood ship-lap siding. Although the building is distinctly unique from the house and garage, the clay tile roof visually blends these dissimilar buildings. The pool room building possesses some unconventional construction methods. As noted, the front [south] wall of the building sits directly on top of the garden wall that spans between the house and garage. As the wall approaches the house, it ascends in height creating a large volute form. An arched opening is positioned below this feature, providing access to the rear door and garden. In consideration of the wall’s design, it is presumed that wall existed prior to the building of the pool house building. The western gable of the pool house building rests on the rafter tails of the adjacent garage, rather than a traditional bearing wall. These alternative construction methods cause concern toward the structural stability of the building. The current owners wish to convert the building to provide more enclosed parking while continuing to function as a pool room. The proposed scope of work includes a 76 square foot addition at the     Historic Resources Commission 97 1/11/2024   J A N U S robert imboden, assoc. aia page 3 of 17 1120 n. granada drive, orange, california 92869 | 714 . 299 . 0330 | robert@janusconsultants.com www.janusconsultants.com rear of the building to provide adequate space for vehicular parking. A vehicular door is also proposed for the front [south] elevation to accommodate vehicular access to the building. While Image 04: The existing pool house building and garage as viewed from the west second-story loggia. a portion of the garden wall will be removed for the project, the distinctive but partially hidden volute element will be exposed and incorporated into the new pool room building façade. The project also includes extending the roof ridge of the pool room building to connect with the adjacent garage. This change will eliminate the existing disconnection of roof forms and improves the water tightness of both buildings. The building’s doors and windows will be removed with the exception of those on the eastern façade. The existing clapboard siding will be replaced with textured stucco, matching the house and garage. The existing applied trim detail of the building will be utilized for both the existing and new fenestration. The SOI Standards include the following recommendations appropriate for additions to historic buildings: x While alterations to a historic building are generally needed to assure its continued use, it is important that such alterations do not radically change, obscure, or destroy character defining features of the property     Historic Resources Commission 98 1/11/2024   Page 4 of 17 1120 n. granada drive, orange, california 92869 | 714 . 299 . 0330 | robert@janusconsultants.com www.janusconsultants.com J A N U S robert imboden, assoc. aia x Additions should be designed and constructed to be clearly differentiated from the historic building and so the character-defining features are not radically changed, obscured, damaged or destroyed. The existing pool house building was constructed later than the house and garage in a manner dissimilar to the original Italian Renaissance style of those earlier buildings, and lacks evidence of possessing historic significance in its own right. As such, the building does not contribute to the historic character of the property. Additionally, the proposed scope of work will correct the unconventional construction methods which compromise its structural integrity. The existing garden wall is not currently perceived as such, as it has been incorporated into the front façade of the existing pool room building. Although the project will result in a loss of a portion of the garden wall, a distinctive and character defining feature of the wall [currently hidden] will be made visible again. The proposed design also calls for the front façade of the pool room building to be offset from the wall plane of the historic garage creating a clear line of demarcation between the old and new construction. A small portion of the garden wall will also be reconstructed adjacent to the garage, preserving the “memory” of that feature. The new vehicular door does represent a change to the property, but also allows additional enclosed parking creating greater visibility of the historic property. The design of the vehicular door is simple in character so as to be less prominent. The proposed stucco cladding is also more compatible and in keeping with the historic character of the property. The extension of the existing roof ridge will maintain the building’s current height, while also preserving the existing roof form of the historic garage. The improved waterproofing will also contribute to the long-term preservation of the historic garage. The proposed addition is modest in size and is located to the rear of the building. The proposed new doors will be trimmed in a manner that provides a subtle but clear differentiation form the historic buildings. The proposed work is compatible in size, scale and style with the historic home and garage, and does appear to significantly affect the character-defining features of the historic property. JANUS is of the opinion that the proposed rehabilitation of the existing pool room building is in general compliance with the SOI Standards.     Historic Resources Commission 99 1/11/2024   J A N U S robert imboden, assoc. aia page 5 of 17 1120 n. granada drive, orange, california 92869 | 714 . 299 . 0330 | robert@janusconsultants.com www.janusconsultants.com Balcony Railings The second story of the home includes a series of five exterior balcony spaces. The balconies vary in their design, ranging from small cantilevered balconettes, to larger recessed loggia types.

Once the railings are removed, the existing paint coating which contains lead will be removed down to bare metal, then primed using a rust prohibitive primer, and painted. The removal of the existing paint finish is to be carried out using the gentlest means possible. JANUS also recommends that the best practices for working with existing lead-based paints be observed. Modifications will include the addition of supplementary railing elements to increase the overall rail heights while also decreasing the size of the existing openings. Additional pickets will be placed within existing gaps between the decorative scrolls and the length of the balusters will be increased though adding additional material. Knuckles will be used at the joints where the additional material is added to demarcate the original length of the balusters. A base rail will also be added in order to minimize the number of penetrations into the decking, significantly reducing the opportunity of spalling of the terra cotta deck. JANUS is of the opinion that the proposed treatments for the existing metal railings [remove, refinish, modify and reinstall] is in general compliance with the SOI Standards. The SOI Standards include the following recommendations for the existing balcony railing: x Identify, retain and preserve metal features that are important in defining the overall historic character of the building so that, as a result, the character is not diminished. x Complying with life-safety codes in such a manner that the historic building’s character- defining features and finishes to comply with life-safety code requirements. x Identify and treat the causes of corrosion, such as moisture from leaking roofs or gutters x Protecting and maintaining metals from corrosion by providing proper drainage so that water does not stand on fat, horizontal surfaces. x Applying appropriate paint or other coating systems to historically-coated metals after cleaning to protect them from corrosion. The proposed stripping and repainting of the railings will inhibit further deterioration of this important character defining feature of the property. The broader project includes in-kind replacement of the existing deteriorated gutters and downspouts, correction of reverse slope on the deck surface, and replacement of the deteriorated terra cotta tile. These treatments combined with the stripping and recoating of the railings will contribute significantly to reducing the apparent causes of corrosion. The modification of the railings will also improve the safety of those features. Although the modification of the railings does create a modest change to the building’s historic character, the     Historic Resources Commission 104 1/11/2024   Page 10 of 17 1120 n. granada drive, orange, california 92869 | 714 . 299 . 0330 | robert@janusconsultants.com www.janusconsultants.com J A N U S robert imboden, assoc. aia changes will maintain the original design, material and craftsmanship of the railings. The new design is both consistent and complimentary to the Italian Renaissance revival style of the home, and is compatible in terms of material and scale. JANUS is of the opinion that the proposed treatments for the existing metal railings [remove, refinish, modify and reinstall] is in general compliance with the SOI Standards. Wooden Balcony Railings A small, cantilevered balconette is located along the eastern façade above the home’s primary entrance. Precast, decorative concrete scroll brackets are located on the stucco-finished underside of the cantilevered portion. The balcony includes distinctive character defining features such as scrolled corbels, wooden turned railings and terra cotta tile paving. As a balconette, it is not intended to be accessed through doors like the home’s other balconies. Instead, the feature simply provides some protection for the full height casement windows which open on to it. As such, the existing guard rail is very low and does not meet current code requirements. Image 15: The small balconette located on the eastern façade features scroll brackets and a turned wooden balustrade.     Historic Resources Commission 105 1/11/2024   J A N U S robert imboden, assoc. aia page 11 of 17 1120 n. granada drive, orange, california 92869 | 714 . 299 . 0330 | robert@janusconsultants.com www.janusconsultants.com Constructed of wood, the existing balustrade is comprised of a series of turned balusters, with substantial bottom and top rails. The balconies existing paint coatings appear to be near the end of their serviceable life. The coatings have also tested positive for lead content. Areas of the railing exposed to the elements is subject to deterioration. The balcony’s terra cotta paving is distinctly unique from the majority of that used in the other balconies, and has perhaps been laid over the original paving surface. Although the existing masonry deck paving may not be original to the home, it does not significantly detract from the historic character of the property. The existing masonry decking also appears to provide adequate sloping to shed water away from the home. The proposed project does not include any changes to the existing masonry decking. In order to avoid altering the historic character of the existing balustrade, the project will include fixing the adjacent full-height casement windows in place to avoid fall hazards. While the existing guardrails appear to be in serviceable condition, the existing painted finish is deteriorating. The existing paint coatings have also tested positive for lead. The project scope will include the removal of paint down to bare wood followed by an application of primer and paint. Image 16: Although the railing does not meet current code requirements, the balustrade is in good condition and only requires the removal/ replacement of existing paint coatings.

Rear Entry Stoop Image 18: The existing rear stoop has been modified through an application of field stone paving.

As no original architectural drawings of the home are known to exist, it is not known if the existing stoop dates from or reflects the original design. While the existing metal handrail may be original to the home, it differs in that it is simpler in design and construction than those located on the home’s balconies. Flagstone veneer has been applied to all of the surfaces of the stoop [landing, treads, risers and sides], which is inconsistent with both the style and era of the home. The project scope includes removal/replacement of the existing stoop. The replacement stoop will be similar to the existing in its overall form, but includes stairs on both the north and south sides of the landing. This change will provide improved access to the rear yard and pool. A solid wall finished in stucco [to match house] will form the outer rail at the landing. Wall mounted iron handrails are also proposed. The landing, treads and risers will be natural, exposed concrete. The SOI Standards include the following recommendations appropriate for entrances and porches: x Identifying, retaining, and preserving entrances -- and their functional and decorative features--that are important in defining the overall historic character of the building. x Replacing in kind an entire entrance or porch that is too deteriorated to repair -- if the form and detailing are still evident -- using the physical evidence as a model to reproduce the feature. If using the same kind of material is not technically or economically feasible, then a compatible substitute material may be considered. x Complying with life-safety codes in such a manner that the historic building’s character- defining features and finishes to comply with life-safety code requirements. x Designing and installing entrances or porches when required for the new use in a manner that preserves the historic character of the buildings, i.e., limiting such alteration to non- character-defining facades. The existing stoop has been modified over time. The flagstone finish is inconsistent with the home’s style and era of construction. The character of the existing stoop appears to be later than the home’s construction, is inconsistent with the property’s Italian Renaissance revival style, and lacks evidence of possessing historic significance in its own right. The design for the replacement stoop is similar in size, scale and mass as the existing stoop and is located at the home’s rear [secondary] façade. The simple design of the replacement stoop provides differentiation in that it does not mimic the more decorative steps and balustrades prevalent throughout the home. The construction of the new stoop is reversable in that it could be removed in the future without the loss of any character defining features of the property. The simple design of the proposed stoop is also appropriate in consideration of the more utilitarian nature of the rear entry. The proposed materials [concrete, stucco and metal handrails] are consistent and     Historic Resources Commission 108 1/11/2024   Page 14 of 17 1120 n. granada drive, orange, california 92869 | 714 . 299 . 0330 | robert@janusconsultants.com www.janusconsultants.com J A N U S robert imboden, assoc. aia complimentary to the Italian Renaissance style of the home, and will not diminish the overall historic character of the property. While the existing stoop is not deteriorated, it does not contribute to the home’s historic character. Due to the alterations and the absence of original architectural drawings, an accurate reconstruction of the original stoop is not possible. JANUS is of the opinion that the proposed replacement of the existing rear stoop is in general compliance with the SOI Standards. Driveway and Drive Apron Image 20: The existing driveway as viewed from W. 19th Street. While portions of the existing concrete driveway may date from the home’s era of construction, it has been widened and modified over time to accommodate the multiple-vehicular aspect of contemporary life. Gravel has also been placed adjacent to provide additional off-street parking. Portions of the existing driveway are deteriorating and becoming unsightly The proposed project includes removal and replacement of the of the existing concrete driveway. The design includes some additional paving to provide access to the proposed new garage space. The distinctive flared scoring of the existing drive will be incorporated into the new driveway. The scoring will be slightly different at the locations beyond the original drive to distinguish the original design. The driveway apron will also be widened to correlate to the new driveway. The SOI Standards include the following recommendations appropriate for driveways:     Historic Resources Commission 109 1/11/2024   J A N U S robert imboden, assoc. aia page 15 of 17 1120 n. granada drive, orange, california 92869 | 714 . 299 . 0330 | robert@janusconsultants.com www.janusconsultants.com x Identifying, retaining, and preserving entrances--and their functional and decorative features--that are important in defining the overall historic character of the building x Placing parking facilities directly adjacent to historic buildings where automobiles are intrusive to the building site. The proposed driveway and apron modifications will afford improved vehicular access between the street and enclosed parking areas and will result in fewer cars obscuring views of the historic property. The proposed design for the scoring of the new driveway will accommodate contemporary multi-vehicle needs while preserving the extents of the original paving. The proposed driveway maintains the location, material and orientation of the historic driveway. In consideration of the size of the lot, the material and size of the proposed driveway is compatible with and complementary to the historic character of the property. The proposed replacement of the driveway and apron will not significantly diminish the historic character of the property.

Image 23: Existing masonry wall as viewed from the rear yard. The west and south boundaries of the rear yard are enclosed with a 6-foot-high masonry wall. Some of the masonry units suggest that the wall was constructed sometime in the post-war period. Iron security fencing has also been installed at the northeast corner of the house. The height of that fencing exceeds the maximum allowable height, and is incompatible with the historic character of the property. The project includes removal of the iron security fencing. Also included is removal of the masonry wall that spans between the house and the property line at the northeast corner of the home. In its place, a new 6-foot-high masonry wall will be placed with a wooden gate that provides access to the front yard area. The masonry block will be finished with stucco matching the home in color and texture. A three-foot-high entry gate of the same design is proposed along North Heliotrope Street at the front of the property. A proposed pathway of decomposed granite will connect these two gates. The SOI Standards include the following recommendations appropriate for historic building sites: x Identifying, retaining, and preserving a property’s site features that are important in defining its overall historic character. x Remove non-significant site features which detract from the historic character of the site.     Historic Resources Commission 111 1/11/2024   J A N U S robert imboden, assoc. aia page 17 of 17 1120 n. granada drive, orange, california 92869 | 714 . 299 . 0330 | robert@janusconsultants.com www.janusconsultants.com Image 24: Existing non-compatible security fencing.
