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 (30) days and shall thereafter be diligently
pursued to completion by Owner), then City may, without further notice, declare a default under
the terms 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

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Ranch House
Widely published in Sunset and House Beautiful magazines, the Ranch House dominated post -World War II residential
expansion and represented the most popular house form in the United States from the 1950s through 1970s. The Ranch
House originated in the 1930's designs of Southern California architect Cliff May, who sought to reinvent the west's
vernacular housing traditions by combining the form and massing of the traditional ranch house with a modernist's
concern for informality, expressed in materials and plan, and indoor -outdoor integration.
While the style includes several variants, a basic set of character -defining features applies to most examples. In form and
massing, the style evokes a sprawling ranch that developed over time, with a central block extended by wings of varying
roof heights. Generally L-shaped or U-shaped in plan, the Ranch House typically has a one-story profile with strong
horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched or flat roof with wide overhanging eaves. Asymmetrical in design,
the Ranch House is often sheathed in and accented with rustic materials such as board -and -batten siding, high brick
foundations, art stone, and wood shake roofs. Indoor -outdoor integration is achieved through the use of recessed or
extended porches, set low to the ground, and the generous use of large picture, ribbon, or corner windows. Window
detailing can include wood frames, decorative shutters, and diamond -patterned muntins. Ornamentation includes
rusticated elements, such as carved porch supports and exposed rafters, uneven rakes and flared eaves, and faux dove
cotes and bird houses.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The D.K. Thomas House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for
embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style as interpreted by 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 West Floral Park neighborhood, and, as an intact example of the Ranch House style in the
West Floral Park neighborhood, "is a good example of period architecture" in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Municipal Code,
Section 30-2.2).

Located in West Floral Park, this is a one-story single-family residence with an attached two -car garage constructed in a
Ranch House style. The house and garage delineate an "L" -shaped plan, which embraces a generously sized rear patio.
Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a strong horizontal emphasis expressed through a low pitched, hipped roof with
wide, overhanging, open eaves with exposed rafters. The roof is clad in contemporary asphalt shingle roofing and the exterior
of the house is clad in a combination of brick, smooth stucco, and vertical plywood siding. The roof treatment defines three
sections of the front (west) fagade. In the middle, the entry porch is sheltered under the main roof and characterized by
vertical plywood siding and a brick veneer base. The entry features a six -panel wood door flanked by a single full height
decorative shutter. Forming the south wall of the entry porch, a metal -framed, casement, corner window with a corner support
sits on a brick base and features interior jalousie shutters. An additional metal -framed, casement corner window marks the
northwest corner of the fagade, along with a tripartite metal -frame casement window closer to the entry; both with are Flanked
by decorative shutters. The rear (east) elevation features a roof overhang that frames a modestly sized rear patio, which
features multi -light French doors flanked by two multi -light side panels. The "L" -shaped portion of the rear provides a
secondary access to the rear and also features multi -light French doors flanked by two multi -light side panels. A prominent
brick chimney located along the front elevation south of the entry pierces the eaves and rises above the roof ridgeline. A
double casement is set between the chimney and the attached garage that constitutes the south end of the facade. The
property is landscaped with several mature trees, a lawn, low vegetation and a decorative walkway at the front setback.
Alterations to the house include a rear bedroom and bathroom addition, the removal of original roof shingles, swimming pool
and spa, and installation of photovoltaic solar panels towards the rear. While the residence has been altered, the alterations
do not appear to detract from the integrity of the residence.

The D.K. Thomas House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Ranch style as interpreted by
prominent local builder, Emmet C. Rogers, and his son-in-law, Arthur K. Herrick. This house was an Emmet C. Rogers
development home and was originally constructed in 1956, by local building contractor Arthur K. Herrick. Emmet C. Rogers
was a prolific Santa Ana builder and developer. From the late 1930s through the following decade, Rogers was extremely
active as a building contractor, often moving his family, perhaps to houses as a 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). He subdivided a 24-lot tract on Freeman between Washington and Fifteenth from former walnut groves in 1938,
maintaining property values by reviewing the proposed plans for each house in the tract (Santa Ana Register. August 27,
1936). He also developed several lots on Towner, north of Washington (Santa Ana Register. July 29, 1940). This house was
deeded to David K. and Catherine S. Thomas in 1956. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas resided on the property until 1979 when the
property was sold to Dennis I. and Jane C. Fischel. Mr. and Mrs. Fischel resided in the property until 1990s.

*B10. Significance (continued):
Since the second half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood in which the D. K. Thomas House is located has been
known as West Floral Park. Bounded by Santiago Creek on the north, West Seventeenth Street on the south, North Flower
Street on the east and North Bristol Street on the west, this residential area largely developed after 1947. Prior to that time,
the area was primarily agricultural, and other than Flower Street, which was improved with houses during the 1920s and
1930s, contained only a handful of residences on Baker and Bristol Streets, the City Water Works pumping plant at 2315
North Bristol Street, and the Animal Shelter and City/County Pound at 2321 North Bristol Street. Between 1947 and 1950,
around two dozen homes were constructed on Baker, Olive, Towner, and Westwood Streets. Construction boomed
throughout the neighborhood during the 1950s, with the California Ranch emerging as the favored residential style.
The D.K. Thomas House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for
embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of the Ranch House style as interpreted by prominent local builder, Emmet

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.
