From:Erik Hernandez <br />To:eComments, PBA <br />Subject:Agenda #1 <br />Date:Monday, March 28, 2022 10:27:26 AM <br />Hello, <br />I am writing to you today because of my concern for the proposed building of a structure at <br />2221 N Heliotrope Dr in Santa Ana. I am a neighbor living within viewing distance of this <br />property and the proposed structure. <br />I am concerned it will deter from the historic value and history of the home. Additionally, past actions of <br />the owners give me cause for concern. Several years ago they requested to change the style/roof line on <br />the home (from flat to pitched) that would have marred its historical value and appearance (the Historic <br />Resources Commission denied the request). Subsequent changes made to the roof - after the <br />Commission's denial - were neither properly permitted nor matched the building's architectural style <br />resulting in the city filing misdemeanor charges and a conflict with the Historic Resources Commission. <br />They also replaced the home's original steel case windows in secret doing so while the home was tented <br />for fumigation seeking variance approval after the fact. <br />This home has historical ties to a sitting foreign ruler and is one of only two examples of the Art Moderne <br />style in Santa Ana (the other is a small building that is used for commercial purposes). <br />I feel in granting this proposal it will alter the historical significance of this address and not enhance the <br />property in any way. Please help to prevent this from happening. <br />Thank you <br />Erik Hernandez <br />2301 N Flower St <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 34 – 144 11/19/2024
