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

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 ''/2) percent by Government Code Section 50286) of the current fair market value of the
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.

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.
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

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.
SUMMARYICONCLUSION:
The M. Jackson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of Tudor Revival -style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it is a
good example of the Tudor Revival style and contributes to the historical and architectural character of its neighborhood.

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
The M. Jackson House is a single-family residence originally built in the Tudor Revival style and augmented with a Mid -
Century Modern -style rear addition (Figures 1 and 2). The residence is characterized by an L plan and a complex hip -and -
gable roof with a moderate -to -high pitch, composition shingle cladding, and slight eaves. Its exterior is sheathed in rough
stucco throughout. On the front (east) facade, a short set of round concrete podium steps approaches the front entrance,
which includes a solid wood front door set in a gable end and sheltered by a pan -type metal awning (Figure 3). Windows to
the left of the entrance serve as a focal point and feature a tripartite wood -sash assembly, in addition to a pair of narrow,
deepset, diagonally glazed windows (Figures 4 and 5). Elsewhere, windows vary in size and operability, but generally
include wood, multi -pane sashes. Most original windows also feature simple molded frame details. Many windows on the east
and south fagades are full -height (Figure 6). The rear addition contrasts with the historic front end of the house, exhibiting
Mid -Century Modern -style elements, such as a canted exterior corner and exposed heavy rafter beams (Figure 7). Although
the addition detracts somewhat from the historical design and feeling of the residence, it relatively small and is minimally
visible from the street. Aside from the addition, the house does not include any alterations of note and continues to convey
the property's historical Tudor Revival -style elements.

The M. Jackson House is architecturally significant as an intact example of a Tudor Revival -style house in Santa Ana. The
original building permit is dated September 11, 1928 and indicates it was built as a single-family residence and garage by
noted Santa Ana developer Emmet C. Rogers, at a cost of $3,000. Rogers likely built the property on a speculative basis, as
no evidence indicates he ever resided at the property. The original architect is unknown. The earliest known occupants are
the family of Maggie and William Logan Jackson, who appear at this address in the 1930 United States Census
(Ancestry.com 2002). City building permits, directories, and newspaper articles indicate Maggie resided at the property until
her death in 1949 (Santa Ana Register January 7, 1949). The property may have been transferred to the Jackson's
granddaughter Vitula, who married Edward W. Singer. In in the 1950s, city directories show, Edward worked as a postal
carrier. Singer and Vitula resided at the address together from about 1952 to as late as 1960 (The Register August 13, 1952,
city directory 1960). During his time living at this address, Edward secured building permits for the construction of the rear
additions to the residence and garage. State marriage records show, in 1980, Vitula married Ernest D. Schellenberg, whose
last name appears in a city building permit for this property issued in 1982 (Ancestry.com 2007). City property records show
Vitula continued to own the residence until 2003. She was succeeded by Miles Erlich and the current owners, Carter and
Chelsea Sapp. (See Continuation Sheet 3)

The detached garage is located at the southwest of the residence. It has a long rectangular plan, gabled roof with asphalt
shingle cladding, and stucco siding throughout. On the east fagade, the board -and -batten swing -up garage door faces a
concrete driveway, which leads to north Spurgeon Street (Figure 8). While its front (east) end does not reflect the influence of
any discernible architectural style, the rear echoes the Mid -Century Modern styling of the rear addition to the residence. This
is most evident in the large window assembly on the south fagade, which is characterized by its grid form and heavy wood
mullions, in addition to two separate ribbons of steel casement windows, which provide a horizontal emphasis characteristic
of architectural Modernism (Figure 9). Additional features of the garage include a glazed French and glazed standard -size
door, both on the south fagade. -
The front yard is landscaped with a lawn and mature trees and shrubs. Tracing the front property line is a wood post -and -rail
fence, which visual observation suggests is not original to the property.
*B10. Significance (continued):
City property records show Vitule continued to own the residence until 2003. She was succeeded by Miles Erlich and the
current owners, Carter and Chelsea Sapp.
The M. Jackson House is located in the Park Santiago neighborhood, an area 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. Irvin, 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 infill construction in the western half displayed the simplified ranch style that emerged following World
War If.
The M. Jackson House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as an intact
example of an Tudor Revival -style residence in Santa Ana. Located in Park Santaiago, the house cost $3,000 to build in
1928. The recommended categorization is "Contributive" because it is a good example of the Tudor Revival style and
contributes to the historical and architectural character of the neighborhood (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.3).
Character -defining features of the M. Jackson House include, but may not be limited to: L-shaped plan; asymmetrical
primary fagade at the east; complex roof with hipped and high-pitched gabled elements; minimal roof overhang with boxed
eaves; moderately rough stucco siding; brick external chimney; full -height, multi -pane, wood -sash windows; tripartite focal
window with central fixed pane and flanking multi -pane wood sashes; recessed, diamond -glazed located adjacent to the front
entrance and to the focal window; gables with wood -plank siding; main entrance set within in a small gable and accessible by
two curved concrete steps; detached garage; and front yard lawn with landscaping including mature trees and shrubs.

Exhibit C
Exterior work shall be reviewed by the Historic Resources Conunission 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, and such design is compatible with

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.
