PROJECT EXPERIENCE
OCTA OC Streetcar Project, Santa Ana, CA
The OC Streetcar project consists of the design and construction of a two-track streetcar system from the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) in Santa Ana to the proposed Regional Transit Connection and station in Garden Grove, approximately 4 miles. The project also includes design and construction of a maintenance and storage facility and two new bridge structures.
The maintenance and storage facility is planned to ho use all light revenue maintenance functions, including operations.
This will accommodate administration, operations,
maintenance, repair bays, and parts storage. A maintenance building, a wash building, parking lots, and a fire lane are also included.
The Santa Ana River Bridge is an approximately 356 -foot-long, 3 -span, precast, pre -stressed concrete, Caltrans, wide-flange girder bridge. Spans vary from approximately 80 to 138 feet and will carry the OC Streetcar light rail tracks over the Santa Ana River and adjacent Santa Ana River Trail. Traffic on the bridge consists of two tracks. Two reinforced concrete pier walls were proposed for the river piers. Short seat abutments on a single row of cast -in-drilled-hole (CIDH) piles were proposed to minimize earthwork, accommodate thermal movements, and use the same foundation type as the piers. The Westminster Avenue UP was proposed as an approximately 231-foot-long, 2-span, cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete box girder bridge. Spans are approximately 111 to 120 feet long and will carry the OC Streetcar light rail tracks over Westminster Avenue. Traffic on the bridge consists of two tracks. High, cantilever abutments were proposed to minimize span length. A single, non-skewed, oblong column bent was proposed to fit within the available 14-foot median width, measured face-to-face of curb, on Westminster Avenue.
DYA provided a Phase I Hazardous Waste Environmental Site Assessment for the portion of the project within OCTA’s Pacific Electric Railway right-of-way from Harbor Boulevard to North Raitt Street and a geotechnical investigation for the entire alignment, including soil borings, laboratory analysis, engineering analyses, and geotechnical reports. DYA subsequently performed a sup plemental environmental site investigation in the Pacific Electric right -of-way and has been providing construction support and observation services.

The following outlines a typical work plan for materials testing and inspection services anticipated under this contract: Task 1: Project Kick-Off MeetingOur project team will meet with City representatives to initialize the project expectations, in terms of scope of services, schedule, and budget requirements. Communication controls and expectations will be clearly outlined for future activities. The primary goal is to have a mutual understanding of the City’s expectations of Kleinfelder and the conduct of the construction activities. With a clear understanding of the expectations, unanticipated changes and surprises can be dramatically reduced. At this time, we will review project plans and specifications to evaluate the intended scope of services and provide alternatives for consideration. Task 2: Identification of Schedule and Budget Requirements After reviewing the plans, specifications, and schedule, we can prepare a proposed scope of services and cost estimate. The construction schedule will have a large impact on the requirements and duration of our services. It is important, both from a scheduling and accounting standpoint, to have an agreed-upon schedule and budget to follow and measure, as we proceed through the construction process. These elements will help us to provide the City with progress benchmarks, both from a financial and construction viewpoint. Once our proposal is approved by the City, we will receive a Work Authorization. Task 3: Staffing and Resource Management Plan Our Project Manager/Principal Agent will personally manage City projects and work closely with ourTask Order Managers, typically the individual that attended the kickoff meeting. We will hold an internal kickoff meeting with designated staff to review documents, project scope, expectations, work practices, and schedule subconsultants as needed. Mr. Hanna will be supported by our Quality Assurance Manager, Mr. Mike Dorsch, to provide proactive testing and inspection in accordance with the project needs. Kleinfelder will develop a customized Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan for each task order under this contract. A written Project Quality Plan is the key ingredient of our QMP regardless of scope or budget. For medium to large projects where observation services are required on a full-time basis, we will assign a multi-disciplined Senior Technician to reduce the need for more than one technician for multiple operations at the site. This Senior Technician will also coordinate resources in the field. In the event that the job sequence requires more than one technician, we will provide a supplemental technician (upon City approval) who will work at the direction of our Senior Technician.Task 4: Preparation and Review of Mix DesignsBased on the discussion and information gathered from the kickoff meeting with the City staff, a Kleinfelder pavement engineer will review and/or recommend and develop concrete and asphalt mix designs considering the traffic loads, subgrade modulus, and sustainability factors. A road alignment with a weak subgrade and requiring reconstruction may be a good candidate for full depth reclamation. Typically, this approach is cost effective where long runs of pavement require replacement. Recycling the existing asphalt pavement and base material and blending it into the subgrade soils reduces hauling and disposal of material.

Kleinfelder is capable of developing asphalt concrete mix designs for leveling course, asphalt base course, surface course, and wearing course, including rubberized asphalt concrete mixes. Kleinfelder can prepare and develop these mix designs in-house, utilizing the appropriate test methods and samples of aggregate and binder from local asphalt suppliers. In addition, we can develop mix designs for concrete pavement, full depth reclamation sections, and cement treated base materials. Task 5: Material Testing & Inspection Services We understand and are well-versed in the City’s requirements for timeliness and efficiency in performing work, scheduling, and reporting results. Once notified with a time and location where our technician/inspector will be required, our centralized Kleinfelder dispatch team will schedule the appropriate certified technician/inspector for assignment. The technician/inspector will become intimately familiar with the project documents and will maintain daily records of inspection and testing which will document records of time and work performed. Our field staff will review safety protocols and safe work practices for each activity. They are equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for services they will provide, which include reflective safety vests, steel-toed boots, hard hats, gloves, and eye protection. They will participate in daily safety tailgate meetings prior to the start of work. They will contact our office for additional staffing and equipment, as necessary, based on communication with the City’s onsite representative and the project engineer.Daily reports and test results will be provided to the project engineer and City onsite representative for review and signature and delivered to Kleinfelder’s Project Manager/Principal Agent at least on a weekly basis, or daily when time-critical items are identified for immediate resolution. Reports and test results may be transmitted electronically to the project engineer and requested City team members. The technician/inspector will maintain a list of non-compliance issues and track resolution of these items. In addition, they will document and track re-inspection and re-testing so the City may back-charge the contractor for these additional costs, if desired. In addition to required inspection, testing, and sampling equipment, inspectors are equipped with smartphones, iPads or laptops with software including Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and Outlook), Bluebeam Revu and Acrobat Reader for pdf files, and our FieldNet reporting software. Kleinfelder inspectors utilize our proprietary field reporting software, FieldNet, which enables our staff to collect data, prepare deliverables, effortlessly upload information to data management systems, and automatically generate reports using tablets in the field. FieldNet improves reporting turnaround time and offers high data quality on projects. Task 6: Laboratory Testing Samples of construction materials will be picked up and transported to our laboratory for testing and analysis by certified laboratory technicians. The laboratory manager reviews the data and distributes a typed test results report indicating whether the material did or did not meet the requirements of the project specifications. Aregistered engineer will review the laboratory reports and certify the test results prior to distributing them to the City’s authorized representatives.The City and Kleinfelder’s Project Manager/Principal Agent will be notified immediately if a sample fails to meet specifications so that an alternate plan may be implemented.
FIELDNET ADVANTAGESBetter access to higher quality, consistent field dataImproved turn-around time and communicationReduced risk of lost or compromised dataReduced or eliminated manual re-entry of dataEfficient workflows from field to officeAutomatically generated deliverablesIntegration with GIS, LIMS, Deltek®, gINT®, EQuIS™Enhanced photographic documentationWorks without an internet connectionEnhanced GPS accuracy when requiredCustom forms can be developed by request

Task 7: Project Management and ControlsThe management of our processes will be a valuable tool for the City to assess not only the acceptability of the construction process, but also many aspects of the progress and conduct of the job. The key to success on any project begins with a strong Project Manager/Principal Agent who is available, experienced, and practices proactive communication strategies.Mr. Hanna’s leadership is focused on a team approach with proactive communication to:Provide successful project execution plan (PXP) including a detailed scope, a realistic schedule, and a mutually agreed upon budgetStrategically coordinate and allocate resources within Kleinfelder and the subcontractor teamEnsure quality at all levels of planning and design Ensure safety Project controls is a term describing the tools, techniques, and procedures implemented by Kleinfelder’s Project Manager/Principal Agent to monitor project components: scope and budget, project execution, quality, and schedule. Kleinfelder maintains a team of internal project controllers who actively work on large-scale programs with multiple subcontractors in order to reduce project owner risk through active real time tracking and reporting to the project manager regarding these items.Within Scope and Budget.The ability to keep a project within the original scope and budget is a result of defining a complete scope. Identifying a clear purpose, need for the work, and the intended outcome are critical to this task. With well-prepared task scopes and goals, budgets will be set and commitments will be made to adhere to. Progress meetings, reviews, and scheduling controls will identify work that could be out of scope or does not contribute to the desired outcome. These monitoring efforts will control the budget and eliminate out-of-scope work proceeding without proper approvals. Where a change of scope becomes necessary, the issue will be evaluated, quantified, mitigated (if possible), and communicated to the City’s project manager. Kleinfelder will not exceed a project budget without getting prior authorization from the City.Task 8: Reporting and Project Closeout We will provide the City’s representative and other designated team members with a copy of all results, including:Daily field reports (upon completion of each shift)Daily test results performed in the field (upon completion of each shift)Project memos or clarification requests (as needed) Budget status reports (weekly or monthly)Any unusual or unanticipated activity or observations (as noted)

Prehistoric Historic Both
ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mid-Century Modern
Editor of Arts and Architecture magazine, John Entenza, and his influential sponsorship of the Case Study Program , greatly influenced the development of Mid-Century Modern architectural style. The Case Study Program, which included a series of residential designs (not all of which were constructed) was published between 1945- 1966. The program emphasized modern design techniques and affordable construction methods that were easily replicated as a means to influence affordable housing production. Key design elements of the Case Study Program include stripped ornamentation, exposed structural components including wide beams as part of a pos t-and-beam structural system; flat or nearly flat roofs integrating generous overhangs; concrete flooring, and open floor plans. A strong emphasis on indoor-outdoor living was conveyed through the heavy utilization of glazed walls and interior and exterior courtyards. Mid-Century Modern style is an umbrella term that incapsulates a broad range of post -World War II modernist themes that were applied to a variety of property types including single- and-multi family residences, commercial buildings and centers, as well as large -scale educational, institutional, and indsustrial uses. The Mid-Century Modern style’s period of significance is 1945-1975.
Character-defining features of the Mid- Century Modern style include use of wood or steel post and beam exposed construction, bountiful glazing, and an emphasis on indoor -outdoor living. In form and massing, the style is expressed through simple geometric volumes and horizontal massing, usually asymmetrical. The style includes little to no ornamentaiton. Roof shapes are often flat or have low -pitch gables, both with wide overhanging eaves. Additionally, highly-pitched A-frame roofs are a reflection of the style. Fenestration is typically flush- mounted metal framed windows that span floor-to-ceiling. Siding can include stucco, concrete block, brick, and wood.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of a Mid-Century Modern style residential building. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid- Century Modern style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

*P3a. Description: (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
Located on a modestly sized parcel in Floral Park, the Turk House is a one- story, single-family Mid-Century Modern Style residence with an attached garage and rear pool (Figure 1). The building features an L-shaped plan that emphasizes privacy with the garage in the projecting, front (west) leg of the “L” and a partially enclosed courtyard and living space towards the rear. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a horizontal emphasis expressed through a low -pitched, cross-gabled roof with broad, overhanging eaves and exposed rafters terminated by a continuous fascia that wraps around the building’s roofline (Figure 2). The exterior of the house is clad primarily in a combination of stucco, whitewashed brick, and concrete block. The primary ( west) façade contains two wings: the front-facing gabled space of the attached garage and the side- gabled volume that houses the primary living space. A concrete block brise soleil and whitewashed brick privacy wall and geometrically patterned wrought iron gat e conceals most of the side-gable wing (Figure 3). The main entrance, which is located behind the privacy wall, is composed of a wrought iron door with obscured glass and single side lite and is raised above a shallow concrete step. The door’s abstract geometric pattern echoes that of the wrought iron gate (Figure 4).

The Turk House is architecturally significant as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style house in Santa Ana , owned and constructed by prolific Santa Ana developer Roy Russell . While it is not confirmed if the property was constructed by Roy Roscoe Russell (senior) or his son Roy Rodney Russell ( junior), it is highly likely that Roy Rodney Russell (junior) is attributed to the construction of this property. According to City buildi ng records, it was built in 1960 for approximately $21,000. By circa 1962, the house was sold to A. Turk, who owned the property until 1981. From 1982-1983, city directories list R. O. Robinson as the building occupant. A 1984 city directory was not available for reference. Between 1985 - 1987 there is no tenant or owner identified in city directories . From circa 1989 - 1993, Jon and Susan Everett are identified as property owners. City directories do not include the building owner or tenant information for much of the mid-to-late 1990s. By 1999-2000, Gregg Davila is the known owner. The last available city directory, published in 2008, does not include the building owner. No additional information was uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants.

P3a. Description (continued):
Window fenestration on the primary (west) façade includes two obscured-glass trapezoidal transoms below the front gable roof, and two sets of narrow, wood-frame , tripartite windows with a central fixed window flanked by casements, both set within the interior courtyard on either side of the main entrance (Figure 5 ). Remaining window fenestration throughout the building includes aluminum -frame fixed, casement, and jalousie windows along the south and north side façades. A single wood-frame, multi-lite pedestrian door is located on the south (side) façade and a wood- frame window with jalousie glass louvers over a paired obscured glass window is located on the north (side) façade, along with two aluminum -clad sliding windows. Rear fenestration includes an aluminum-frame sliding kitchen window that projects outwards from the façade, along with two expansive sets of aluminum -frame sliding doors and a fixed window (Figure 6). Additional architectural features include a central brick chimney, a whitewashed brick planter at the primary façade below the front -facing gable, concrete block and concrete brise soleil pool equipment screen in the rear yard, a narrow whitewashed brick wall that encloses the north side yard, and long beams extending past the gable’s end on both north and south (side) facades (Figure 7). The property is landscaped with palm trees, birds of paradise, and other Mid-Century Modern themed vegetation.
*B10. Significance (continued):
The Turk 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 S anta Ana City Hall, the El Toro Marine Base during World War II, 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 1937, Roy Rodney Russell, joined his father’s firm and by 1945 it was renamed as Roy Russell and Son. In the early post World War II 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 (2023) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style home in Santa Ana. Located in Floral Park, the house cost $21,000 to build in 1960.
The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid- Century Modern style (Santa A na Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character -defining features of the Mid-Century Modern style exhibited by the house include its low -pitched cross-gable roof with broad overhanging eaves ; extended beams below the gable s; e xposed rafters; continuous fasci a that warps around the building’s roofline; stucco, whitewashed brick, and concrete
block exteriors; privacy wall incorporating a brise soleil and wrought iron gate at the primary façade; main entrance made of wrought iron and obscured glass designed in a geometric pattern that echoe s the entrance gate; two obscured- glass trapizoidal transoms below the front gable roof; narrow, wood-frame triparte windows with a central fixed window flanked by casements; aluminum-frame fixed, casement, sliding, and jalousie glass louver windows; obscured glass windows; alumium - frame sliding door with a fixed window; attached garage; central brick chimney; whitewashed brick planter; swimming pool; concrete block and brise soleil pool equipment screen in rear yard; and tropical landscaping.

designate as a historical property any building or part thereof, object, structure, or site having importance to the history or architecture of the city in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). This project entails applying the selection criteria established in Chapter 30 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (Places of Historical and Architectural Significance) to determine if this structure is eligible for historic designation to the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The first criterion for selection requires that the structures be 50 or more years old.
The structure identified meets the minimum selection criteria for inclusion on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties pursuant to criteria contained in Section 30-2 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, as the structure is 63 years old and is a good example of period architecture. No known code violations exist on record for this property.

The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style home in Santa Ana. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid-Century Modern style. This category is reserved for structures exemplifying greater architectural significance than the “Contributive” category, in addition to contributing to the overall neighborhood or district within the City of Santa Ana. The property is worthy of “Key” status due to the building’s Mid-Century Modern style and quality craftsmanship which features horizontal massing; low-pitch gable roof with wide overhanging eaves; grouped, aluminum-frame casement windows; stucco siding; and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living through the property’s expansive glazing and an interior courtyard composed of a brise soleil privacy fence; among other original features.

Ordinance No. NS-2382 authorized the Historic Resources Commission to execute Historic Property Preservation Agreements (HPPA), commonly known as Mills Act agreements for eligible properties (Exhibit 2). To be eligible for the Mills Act, the property must be listed on the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties. The Historic Resources Commission Application and Historic Register Categorization actions proposed for this site authorize the listing of the property on the local register. The agreement provides monetary incentives to the property owner in the form of a property tax reduction in exchange for the owner’s voluntary commitment to maintain the property in a good state of repair as necessary to maintain its character and appearance. Once recorded, the agreement generates a different valuation method in determining the property’s assessed value, resulting in tax savings for the owner. Aside from the tax savings, the benefits include:
• Long term preservation of the property and visual improvement to the neighborhood • Allows for a mechanism to provide for property rehabilitation • Provides additional incentive for potential buyers to purchase historic structures • Discourages inappropriate alterations to the property The property has no identified unauthorized modifications. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.
Overall, future improvements proposed by the homeowner during the initial ten years of the Mills Act Agreement include landscape maintenance so the front gable is fully visible from the public right-of-way, exterior painting, exterior stucco repair, new plumbing/electrical , pool replastering, window pane rehabilitation/replacement, improved landscaping in the front and rear yards, and general on-going maintenance. Staff will ensure that the proposed work will be done sensitively and will maintain the property’s character defining features as part of the Mills Act Agreement for this property.
As part of the mills act approval process, staff will work with the applicant to ensure that a bronze plaque is installed honoring and recognizing the structure. The plaque will include the historic name, address, year built, and local historic register designation.
Lastly, the site will be subject to general maintenance and upkeep requirements including, but not limited to, replacement or restoration of damaged character-defining features, landscaping upkeep, painting, etc. These improvements will be subject to review and approval by staff. Upon consideration of the application, it is recommended that the City enter into a Historic Property Preservation Agreement.

B. The Turk House has distinctive architectural features of the Mid-Century Modern style and was built in 1960.
C. The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a highly intact example of a Mid -Century Modern style home in Santa Ana.

The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid -Century Modern style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30- 2.2). This category is reserved for structures exemplifying greater architectural significance than the “Contributive” category, in addition to contributing to the overall neighborhood or district within the City of Santa Ana. The property is worthy of “Key” status due to the building’s Mid -Century Modern style and quality craftsmanship which features wide overhanging eaves; low-pitch roof; and grouped, aluminum-frame casement windows, among other original features. Character-defining features of the Turk House include, but may not be limited to: low -pitched cross -gable roof with broad overhanging eaves; extended beams below the gables; exposed rafters; continuous 2-6Historic Resources Commission March 2, 2023

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Mid-Century Modern
Editor of Arts and Architecture magazine, John Entenza, and his influential sponsorship of the Case Study Program, greatly influenced the development of Mid-Century Modern architectural style. The Case Study Program, which included a series of residential designs (not all of which were constructed) was published between 1945-1966. The program emphasized modern design techniques and affordable construction methods that were easily replicated as a means to influence affordable housing production. Key design elements of the Case Study Program include stripped ornamentation, exposed structural components including wide beams as part of a post-and-beam structural system; flat or nearly flat roofs integrating generous overhangs; concrete flooring, and open floor plans. A strong emphasis on indoor-outdoor living was conveyed through the heavy utilization of glazed walls and interior and exterior courtyards. Mid-Century Modern style is an umbrella term that incapsulates a broad range of post-World War II modernist themes that were applied to a variety of property types including single-and-multi family residences, commercial buildings and centers, as well as large-scale educational, institutional, and indsustrial uses. The Mid-Century Modern style’s period of significance is 1945-1975.
Character-defining features of the Mid-Century Modern style include use of wood or steel post and beam exposed construction, bountiful glazing, and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. In form and massing, the style is expressed through simple geometric volumes and horizontal massing, usually asymmetrical. The style includes little to no ornamentaiton. Roof shapes are often flat or have low-pitch gables, both with wide overhanging eaves. Additionally, highly-pitched A-frame roofs are a reflection of the style. Fenestration is typically flush-mounted metal framed windows that span floor-to-ceiling. Siding can include stucco, concrete block, brick, and wood.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 for embodiment of the distinguishing characteristics of a Mid-Century Modern style residential building. The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid-Century Modern style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2).

Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries) Located on a modestly sized parcel in Floral Park, the Turk House is a one-story, single-family Mid-Century Modern Style residence with an attached garage and rear pool (Figure 1). The building features an L-shaped plan that emphasizes privacy with the garage in the projecting, front (west) leg of the “L” and a partially enclosed courtyard and living space towards the rear. Asymmetrical in design, the house exhibits a horizontal emphasis expressed through a low-pitched, cross-gabled roof with broad, overhanging eaves and exposed rafters terminated by a continuous fascia that wraps around the building’s roofline (Figure 2). The exterior of the house is clad primarily in a combination of stucco, whitewashed brick, and concrete block. The primary (west) façade contains two wings: the front-facing gabled space of the attached garage and the side- gabled volume that houses the primary living space. A concrete block brise soleil and whitewashed brick privacy wall and geometrically patterned wrought iron gate conceals most of the side-gable wing (Figure 3). The main entrance, which is located behind the privacy wall, is composed of a wrought iron door with obscured glass and single side lite and is raised above a shallow concrete step. The door’s abstract geometric pattern echoes that of the wrought iron gate (Figure 4). (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 5.)

Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1960 Property Type: Single-family Residence Applicable Criteria: C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Turk House is architecturally significant as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style house in Santa Ana, owned and constructed by prolific Santa Ana developer Roy Russell. While it is not confirmed if the property was constructed by Roy Roscoe Russell (senior) or his son Roy Rodney Russell (junior), it is highly likely that Roy Rodney Russell (junior) is attributed to the construction of this property. According to City building records, it was built in 1960 for approximately $21,000. By circa 1962, the house was sold to A. Turk, who owned the property until 1981. From 1982-1983, city directories list R. O. Robinson as the building occupant. A 1984 city directory was not available for reference. Between 1985 - 1987 there is no tenant or owner identified in city directories. From circa 1989 - 1993, Jon and Susan Everett are identified as property owners. City directories do not include the building owner or tenant information for much of the mid-to-late 1990s. By 1999-2000, Gregg Davila is the known owner. The last available city directory, published in 2008, does not include the building owner. No additional information was uncovered regarding the past owners and tenants.

*P3a. Description (continued):
Window fenestration on the primary (west) façade includes two obscured-glass trapezoidal transoms below the front gable roof, and two sets of narrow, wood-frame, tripartite windows with a central fixed window flanked by casements, both set within the interior courtyard on either side of the main entrance (Figure 5). Remaining window fenestration throughout the building includes aluminum-frame fixed, casement, and jalousie windows along the south and north side façades. A single wood-frame, multi-lite pedestrian door is located on the south (side) façade and a wood-frame window with jalousie glass louvers over a paired obscured glass window is located on the north (side) façade, along with two aluminum-clad sliding windows. Rear fenestration includes an aluminum-frame sliding kitchen window that projects outwards from the façade, along with two expansive sets of aluminum-frame sliding doors and a fixed window (Figure 6). Additional architectural features include a central brick chimney, a whitewashed brick planter at the primary façade below the front-facing gable, concrete block and concrete brise soleil pool equipment screen in the rear yard, a narrow whitewashed brick wall that encloses the north side yard, and long beams extending past the gable’s end on both north and south (side) facades (Figure 7). The property is landscaped with palm trees, birds of paradise, and other Mid-Century Modern themed vegetation. *B10. Significance (continued):
The Turk 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 El Toro Marine Base during World War II, 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 1937, Roy Rodney Russell, joined his father’s firm and by 1945 it was renamed as Roy Russell and Son. In the early post World War II 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 (2023) Floral Park maintains its identity as the premier neighborhood of Santa Ana, historically home to many affluent and prominent citizens.
The Turk House qualifies for listing in the Santa Ana Register of Historical Properties under Criterion 1 as a highly intact example of a Mid-Century Modern style home in Santa Ana. Located in Floral Park, the house cost $21,000 to build in 1960.
The recommended categorization is “Key” because it has a distinctive architectural style and quality reflective of the Mid- Century Modern style (Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 30-2.2). Character-defining features of the Mid-Century Modern style exhibited by the house include its low-pitched cross-gable roof with broad overhanging eaves; extended beams below the gables; exposed rafters; continuous fascia that warps around the building’s roofline; stucco, whitewashed brick, and concrete
block exteriors; privacy wall incorporating a brise soleil and wrought iron gate at the primary façade; main entrance made of wrought iron and obscured glass designed in a geometric pattern that echoes the entrance gate; two obscured-glass trapizoidal transoms below the front gable roof; narrow, wood-frame triparte windows with a central fixed window flanked by casements; aluminum-frame fixed, casement, sliding, and jalousie glass louver windows; obscured glass windows; alumium- frame sliding door with a fixed window; attached garage; central brick chimney; whitewashed brick planter; swimming pool; concrete block and brise soleil pool equipment screen in rear yard; and tropical landscaping. *B12.

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.

Item # 20
City of Santa Ana
20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701
Staff Report
April 18, 2023
TOPIC: California Automatic Processing Program (CalAPP) Grant
AGENDA TITLE
Adopt a Resolution to Authorize the City Manager to Accept the California Automated Permit Processing Program Grant in the Amount of $100,000 and Execute the Grant Agreement with the State of California Energy Commission, and Approve an Appropriation Adjustment Recognizing Funds
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept and execute the Grant Agreement (APP-22-045) with the State of California Energy Commission (CEC) to receive a $100,000 grant award under the California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program.
2. Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing the CalAPP grant funds, in the amount of $100,000, to revenue account number and appropriate same to expenditure account numbers. (Requires five affirmative votes)
DISCUSSION
CalAPP is a grant program managed by the CEC to assist local governments in California with implementing an online automated solar permitting platform to streamline the solar permitting process. The program was authorized with the passage of Senate Bill 129 (Skinner, 2021). In 2022, the implementation of such a system became mandatory for all local jurisdictions with the passage of Senate Bill 379 (Wiener, 2022).
Available funding varies from $40,000 to a maximum of $100,000 based on the population size of the local jurisdiction. Applicants whose population is greater than 200,000 are eligible for the maximum $100,000 award.
Building staff submitted the grant application on November of 2022, and was notified by the CEC on January 2023, of a grant award in the maximum amount of $100,000. To receive the grant funding, it is necessary for the City Council to adopt a resolution authorizing actions by the City to accept, appropriate, and obligate the grant funds.
Under the agreement, the City has until March 30, 2027, to submit all invoices and the grant terminates on May 31, 2027. The grant requires the implementation of an online automated solar permitting platform that automates project plan review, verifies code
