4. Furnishing of Information.
The Owner hereby agrees to furnish the City with any and all information requested

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

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

referenced herein, City may specifically enforce, or enjoin the breach of, the terms 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 (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
federal, for injunctive relief against any violation by Owner or apply for such relief as may be
appropriate.

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: Tudor Revival
The Tudor Revival looked to medieval England for its inspiration. Signature features of the style include steeply pitched
gables; decorative half-timbering; arched openings, often Tudor or Gothic in form; asymmetrical arrangements of building
features; tall brick chimneys; and picturesque windows of leaded glass or diamond patterned lights. The more ambitious
examples of the Tudor Revival were executed in brick or even stone; however, stucco over wood frame is quite common in
the forgiving climate of southern California. The Tudor Revival was favored primarily for residential buildings, although small
scale commercial buildings in the style also occur. Originating in the late 19th century, the Tudor Revival was associated
with some Craftsman era building but was most popular during the 1920s and 1930s.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The P.A. Hooven House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an example
of the Tudor Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive' because it "contributes
to the overall character and history" of the Park Santiago neighborhood and is a representative example of Tudor Revival
architecture (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Located in Park Santiago, the P.A. Hooven House is a one -and -a -half story residence that exhibits features characteristic of
the Tudor Revival architectural style in southern California. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a steeply pitched,
cross -gabled roof covered with composition shingle and no overhanging eaves. The exterior of the house is clad in a
combination of shake and stucco. Detailing typical of the style includes the bellcast front slope of the side gable, extended
forwards into a hood over a fagade window, and the tall, narrow, and round -headed attic vents. The U-shaped fagade
embraces an open patio that leads to the primary, west -facing entry, a prairie style entry door with two sidelights. A second
entry, consisting of a prairie style french door, faces south onto the patio from the projecting north wing.. The primary (west)
elevation features multi -paned, wood -framed windows, most prominently a round -headed window centered on the north wing
that illuminates the living room and its barrel-vaulted ceiling. The fenestration along the north, south, and east elevations
consists of double -hung, wood -framed windows. The property appears to be substantially intact, although the upper story
was converted into living space at one point; other than a front -gabled dormer, this modification is not visible from the front. A
"hollywood" style driveway along the south elevation leads to a detached, one-story, three -car garage, which is side -gabled
and also clad in stucco. The original garage was enlarged in 1958 to accommodate a third car. The property is landscaped
with low vegetation, neatly trimmed hedges, trees, and features a stone walkway leading to the front entry.

The P.A. Hooven House is architecturally significant as a characteristic example of the Tudor Revival style. The original
building permit was not located. The earliest record shows a series of occupants between 1933 -1944, including Vincent
Tortaglea (1933), R.B. Stedman (1934-1935), G.H. Walker (1936-1938), and R.G. Robbins (1939-1944). Mrs. R.B. Stedman
was a member of the Garden Study Club and a gardening enthusiast, who would regularly host gardening events at the
property. The home was sold to P.A. Hooven and his wife in 1941. Mrs. P.A. Hooven was an avid golfer who frequented
Willowick Golf Club. Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Hooven resided on the property until 1956 when it was sold it K.W. Eppert. The
property was soon after sold to Gale Grant who resided on the property until the late 1960s.

*1310. Significance (continued:
The P.A. Hooven House Is located in the Santiago Park neighborhood. The neighborhood is bounded by Santiago Creek and
Park on the north, East Seventeenth Street on the south, North Lincoln Avenue on the east, North Main Street on the west,
and the 1-5 freeway on the southwest. In large part these boundaries reflect the transportation lines that were constructed
towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Pacific Electric interurban
railroad ran up Main Street; the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe tracks followed Lincoln; and the Southern Pacific Railroad
right-of-way mirrored the freeway route.
This area remained primarily agricultural well into the 1920s. As of 1905, the city directories listed around twenty households
on East Santa Clara, Twentieth Street, "C Street" (now North Santiago Street), North Bush Street and North Main Avenue,
the only streets in the area at the time. The vast majority of the residents were ranchers. By 1911, the number of households
had increased to about thirty, and Edgewood Road and Valencia Street had been partially laid out, but most residents
continued to list "rancher" or "fruit grower' as their occupation in the city directories. This pattern of land use was evident on
the 1912 plat map of the City, which illustrated two small, Craftsman era subdivisions along Bush north of Santa Clara and on
Valencia and Poinsettia south of Twentieth Street, with the remaining area divided into larger, agricultural parcels held by
approximately forty landowners.
While the area east of Santiago Street was not subdivided until after the mid-1920s, most of the present day streets west of
Santiago had been laid out when the City was mapped in 1923. Ranching continued to be the most prevalent occupation in
the neighborhood, but increasing numbers of professionals, small business owners, merchants, and people in service
professions such as painters, electricians, and carpenters made their homes in the western half of the neighborhood during
the 1920s and 1930s. The area also attracted several city and county officials, including the City Attorney (Z. B. West, Jr.,
321 East Santa Clara Avenue), County Supervisor, First District (C. H. Chapman, 2315 North Santiago Street), County
Surveyor (E. H. Irwin, 2407 North Santiago Street), and County Auditor (William C. Jerome, 2422 Poinsettia Street). By April
1942, when the Sanborn Company first mapped the western half of the area, most of the lots had been improved with single-
family homes, many in the revival styles popular during the 1920s and 1930s. Subsequent development of the eastern half of
the neighborhood and in#ll construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World
War 11.
The P.A. Hooven House is eligible for the Santa Ana Register under Criterion 1 as a representative example of the Tudor
Revival style in Santa Ana. Additionally, the house has been categorized as "Contributive' because it contributes to the
overall character and history of Park Santiago and is a representative example of Tudor Revival architecture in Santa Ana
(Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features exhibited by this property include its steeply
pitched, cross -gabled roof,, asymmetrical massing with a U-shaped fagade; bellcast front slope of the side gable; stucco -

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:
Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, stricture, 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.
