Owner's compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested
which may be necessary or advisable to determine compliance with the terms and provisions of
this Agreement.
5. Cancellation.
a. The City, following a duly noticed public hearing by the City Council as set forth
in Government Code Section 50280, et. seq., may cancel this Agreement if it determines that the
Owner have breached any of the conditions of this Agreement, or has allowed the property to
deteriorate to the point that it no longer meets the standards for a qualified Historic Property, or
if the City determines that the Owner have failed to restore or rehabilitate the property in the
manner specified in Section 3 of this Agreement. If a contract is cancelled for these reasons, the
Owner shall pay a cancellation fee to the County Auditor as set forth in Government Code
Section 50286, This cancellation fee shall be a percentage (currently set at twelve and one-half
(12 1/2) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
-3-
property at the time of the cancellation, as determined by the county assessor, without regard to
any restriction imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
b. If the Historic Property is destroyed by earthquake, fire, flood or other natural
disaster such that in the opinion of the City Building Official more than sixty (60) percent of the

imposed in the case of destruction by acts of God or natural disaster.
C. If the Historic Property is acquired by eminent domain and the City Council
determines that the acquisition frustrates the purpose of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
cancelled and no fee imposed, as specified in Government Code Section 50288.
6. Enforcement of Agreement.
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 terms of the
Agreement. In the event of a default, under the provisions to cancel the Agreement by Owner,
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 (30) 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
to pursue in the event that there is a breach of this Agreement. No waiver by City of any breach
or default under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent breach
thereof or default hereunder.

a. Owner hereby subjects the Historic Property, located at 2417 North Park
Boulevard, Assessor Parcel Number, 002-063-25, and more particularly described in Exhibit A,
in the City of Santa Ana, to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions as set forth in this
Agreement.

4-
the Historic Property or any portion thereof, shall conclusively be held to have been executed,
delivered, and accepted subject to the tenants, restrictions, and reservations expressed in this
Agreement regardless of whether such covenants, conditions and restrictions are set forth in such
contract, deed, or other instrument.
8. No Compensation.
Owner shall not receive any payment from City in consideration of the obligation
imposed under this Agreement, it being recognized that the consideration for the execution of
this Agreement is the substantial public benefit to be derived therefrom and the advantage that

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 bythe 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). 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 English and Tudor Revival styles the one-
story version mimics, 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 often display decorative wood
shutters and porch -roof supports
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Wiesseman-Jonason House is eligible forthe Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the
gable -and -wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as
"Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and is a representative example of
Minimal Traditional residential architecture in Santa Ana just priorto World War II (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-
2.2).

The Wiesseman-Jonason House is architecturally significant as a representative example of the gable -and -wing variant of the
Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. 1t was built in 1936 for $4,245 by local developer and builder V.J. Anderson. The home
was sold to Frank W. Wiesseman (1863-1930) and Ida C. Wiesseman (1872-1961), who resided on the property until 1948
before moving to 2311 North Heliotrope Drive. Mr. and Mrs. Wiesseman moved to Santa Ana with their two youngest children
from New York City between 1905 and 1910 and immediately started a business known as the Wiesseman's Variety Store at
114 W. Fourth Street in Downtown Santa Ana. Between the years, 1910 and 1961, Wiessemen's Variety Store was an original
stakeholder and neighborhood staple in Downtown Santa Ana. The two were active in the First Methodist Church, and Mrs.
Wiesseman was an active member of The Ebell Club. The family was notable in business and social circles In Santa Ana. In
1949 the property was sold to S. Walter Jonason, a retired Santa Ana resident originally from Virgina. Mr. Jonason lived on the
property until 1962 when it was sold to a P.G. Lynch. Since then, the Wiesseman-Jonason House has been occupied by various
owners until the current homeowners purchased the home in 2020,

Wiesseman-Jonason House
*Date September2, 2021171 Continuation ❑ Update
The Wiesseman-Jonason 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 orange, avocado, and walnut trees 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 EI
Toro Marine Base during World War ll, 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 (2021), Floral Park maintains its identity as the
premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Wiesseman-Jonason House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as
representative example of the gable -and -wing variant of the Minimal Traditional style in Santa Ana. Notable features in this
regard are the simplicity of design and use of materials and details associated with the late Colonial Revival style. Additionally,
the house has been categorized as "Contributive" because it contributes to the overall character and history of Floral Park and
is a representative example of Minimal Traditional residential architecture in Santa Ana just prior to World War Il (Santa Ana
Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features exhibited by this property Include its cross -gabled roof with
molded eaves; wide clapboard siding; brick accents including interior chimney, side elevation bay window base, and front
walkway; lunette attic vent; six -over -six, wood -framed, double -hung sash windows; entry portico composed of slender posts
supporting a metal canopy; and shallow, side elevation bays.

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.
