a. In lieu of and/or in addition to any provisions to cancel the Agreement as
referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terns of the

the City shall give written notice to Owner by registered or certified mail, and if such a violation
is not corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of the City Manager or designee within thirty (30)
days thereafter, or if not corrected within such a reasonable time as may be required to cure the
breach or default, or default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days (provided that acts to cure
the breach or default may be commenced within thirty (3 0) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terns of this Agreement and may bring any action necessary to specifically enforce the
obligations of Owner growing out of the terms of this Agreement, apply to any court, state or
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.
b. City does not waive any claim of default by the Owner if City does not enforce or
cancel this Agreement. All other remedies at law or in equity which are not otherwise provided
for in this Agreement or in City's regulations governing historic properties are available to City

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Minimal Traditional
During the Great Depression through the immediate postwar years, the Minimal Traditional home rose in popularity as the preferred
style for middle-class housing in the United States. This basic house type fulfilled both aesthetic and social needs: in terms of
aesthetics, the form represented a stripped -down version of the historic -eclectic styles popular in the 1920s, in particular the Tudor
and English Revival styles. In social terms, the Minimal Traditional home satisfied requirements in square footage and plan by the
Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which launched a campaign in this period to expand home ownership. The Minimal
Traditional home served as the prototype used by the FHA in its efforts to codify and manufacture "a standard, low-cost, minimum
house that the majority of American wage earners could afford" (Greg Hise, Magnetic Los Angeles, p. 57).
In a reflection of the Tudor and English Revival styles they mimic, Minimal Traditional homes are typically rectangular in plan and
one-story in height, often with a front -gabled wing and prominent attached chimney. In contrast with the preceding styles, the
Minimal Traditional home is capped with a low or intermediate pitch roof with a hipped or side gable. Sheathing materials include
stucco, brick, or wood, often accompanied by stone veneer accents. Fenestration generally consists of multi -light casement, double -
hung, and picture windows with wood frames. The eaves and rakes of the Minimal Traditional home are typically shallow (in a
departure from the later Ranch House style, which they often resemble). Although they have little applied ornament, many Minimal
Traditional homes display decorative wood shutters and porch -roof supports. By the 1950s, the Minimal Traditional home was
replaced by the Ranch House as the style of choice for middle-class housing and large tract -house developments. (McAlester, pp. 476-
78).
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Evans -Harr House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its exemplification
of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style; and Criterion 4, for its contribution to the Floral Park
neighborhood and for its association with prominent local builder, Emmet C. Rogers. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
"Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Floral Park neighborhood, and, as an intact example
of the Minimal Traditional style in the Floral Park neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture" (Municipal Code, Section
30-2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
Located in Floral Park, this is a one-story single-family residence constructed in a Minimal Traditional style. Asymmetrical in
design, the house exhibits a low -pitch cross hipped roof with wide, overhanging, enclosed eaves along a portion of the front
(east) and rear (west) elevations, and little to no eaves along the right (north) and left (south) elevations. The roof is clad in
contemporary asphalt shingle roofing and the exterior walls are clad in smooth stucco, with minimal to no ornamentation.
Located in the middle of the front elevation, a small entry portico is characterized by lacy, New Orleans -style, wrought iron
posts that support the portico roof overhang, and by a decorative cast-iron porch light that has been converted from gas to
electric. The southern portion of the front elevation adjacent to the entry portico has a divided -light metal casement picture
window framed by wood shutters. The entry features a wide wood door. The northern portion of the front elevation features
divided -light steel casement corner windows with corner supports. Along the north elevation, the building incorporates a
series of double -hung wood windows, including four -over -four and single -pane sashes. The south elevation features a
prominent bay window with a protruding decorative brick wall below. A brick chimney located towards the rear rises above the
roof ridgeline and frames a modestly sized rear patio, which incorporates similar New Orleans -style, wrought iron posts and
decorative railings and two symmetrical wood french doors. The property is landscaped with several mature trees, a lawn,
low vegetation and a decorative walkway at the front setback. The driveway leads to a detached, one-story, stucco -clad, side -
gabled two -car garage, built at the same time as the residence. Alterations to the house include the rear addition to residence
and the removal of original roof shingles. Other than the relatively minor noted changes, the house appears intact and is in
good condition.

The Evans -Harr House is architecturally significant for its highly characteristic Minimal Traditional style and historically
notable for its association with a prominent local builder, Emmet C. Rogers. It was built in 1947 by E. C. Rogers for a total
cost of $9,000 including the residence and garage. Emmet C. Rogers was a prolific Santa Ana builder and developer. He was
born in 1896 in Missouri (1930 Federal Census). By 1920, he had married his wife Juna and moved to Greeley, Colorado,
where he was a high school teacher (1920 Federal Census). A few years later, in 1923, he had relocated his family to Santa
Ana, and had a dual appointment at both Willard and Lathrop Junior High Schools, where he taught science (Santa Ana Daily
Register, April 4, 1923). From the late 1930s through the following decade, Rogers was extremely active as a building
contractor, often moving his family, perhaps to houses as he finished them, on Greenleaf (2144), Freeman (602 and 1315),
and Towner (1010) (1930 Federal Census, Santa Ana Register July 29, 1940, 1947 and 1949 city directories).
According to city directories, the first known residents were Charles J. Evans and Violet A. Evans. Mr, and Mrs. Evans were a
retired couple who lived in the house for 15 years until 1962 when it was listed as vacant. While the residents during the
years of 1962-1976 are unknown, it is known that Robert Kenneth Harr and wife Diane Foster Harr purchased the home in
1977. Mr. Harr, along with business partner Allen B. Christian, was affiliated with several patented designs.

These patents include the Dual Air Vent Bypass (DAVB) container, Lone Attack Aircraft Defense System and the Liquid
Dispenser With Relief Valve Opening (modfication to 'pull tab" on soda cans), among others. However, Mr. Harr is more
prominently known as the dog handler of Rex, otherwise known as "Oki" a highly decorated german shepherd dog that
served during World War 11. Oki was assigned to Mr. Harr and an additional marine on a demolition team. Mr. Harr trained Oki
as a front-line scout and messenger dog, to sniff bombs and to assist him with communications. It is well known that in
Okinawa, Mr. Harr and about 150 marines were pinned down behind enemy lines. With Mr. Harr's instructions, Oki ran
through enemy formation taking fire and ultimately reaching American Forces who were able to rescue Mr. Harr and his men.
For his heroic action, Oki was awarded the Distinguished War Citation by President Harry Truman. Mr. and Mrs. Harr resided
in this property until their deaths.
The Evans -Harr House is located in Floral Park, a neighborhood northwest of downtown Santa Ana bounded by West
Seventeenth Street, North Flower Street, Riverside Drive, and Broadway. Groves of 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 11, and the 1960 Honer Shopping Plaza. Honer lived in the
neighborhood he had helped to create, at 615 West Santa Clara Avenue.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, another builder, Roy Roscoe Russell (1881-1965), continued developing the groves of Floral
Park. An early Russell project was his 1928 subdivision of Victoria Drive between West Nineteenth Street and West Santa
Clara Avenue. The homes were quite grand and displayed various revival styles, including Russell's own large, Colonial
Revival mansion at 2009 Victoria Drive. In the early post World War 11 years, Floral Park continued its development as
numerous, smaller, single-family houses were built. Continuing in the Floral Park tradition, they were mostly revival in style. In
the 1950s, low, horizontal Ranch Style houses completed the growth of Floral Park. Today (2018) Floral Park maintains its
identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Evans -Harr House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1, for its
exemplification of the distinguishing characteristics of the Minimal Traditional style; and Criterion 4, for its contribution to the
Floral Park neighborhood and for its association with prominent local builder, Emmet C. Rogers. Additionally, the house has
been categorized as "Contributive" because it "contributes to the overall character and history" of the Floral Park
neighborhood, and, as an intact example of the Minimal Traditional style in the Floral Park neighborhood, "is a good example
of period architecture", Character defining features of the Evans -Harr House that should be preserved include, but may not
be limited to, materials and finishes; a low -pitch cross hipped roof, wide overhanging eaves; brick chimney; metal detailing
(porch supports); metal casement windows; wood windows; decorative cast-iron porch light and front entry portico.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Commission and subject to the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as follows:
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its
environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site
and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any
historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when
possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment.
These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this
significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which
characterize a building, structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity.
6. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material
should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic,
physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
availability of different architectural elements from the other buildings or
structures.
7. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means
possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic
building materials shall not be undertaken.
8. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and reserve archaeological
resources affected by, or adjacent to any project.
9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not
be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant
historical, architectural or cultural material, an such design is compatible with

size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood, or
environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such
a manner that if such additions or alterations need to be removed in the future, the
essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired.
