owner of certain real property located in Santa Clara, and the City of Santa Clara, California, a chartered municipal corporation, ("CITY"). CITY and OWNERS may be referred to herein individually as a "Party" or collectively as the "Parties" or the "Parties to this Agreement." A. Recitals.

(2) OWNERS possess fee title in and to that certain real property, together with associated structures and improvements thereon, shown on the 1998 Santa Clara County Property Tax Rolls as Assessors' Parcel Number 269-20-095, and generally located at the street address 906 Monroe Street, in the City of Santa Clara, ("Historic Property").

Exhibit B
The Secretary of The Interior's Standards
The U. S. Department of the Interior established separate Standards for each of the four distinct, but interrelated, approaches to the treatment of historic properties - Preservation, Rehabilitation, Restoration, and Reconstruction. All four Standards may be applied to individual buildings, a complex of buildings, districts, sites, structures (i.e., bridges, dams, roadways, windmills, aircraft, ships, locomotives, and bandstands) or objects (i.e., sculptures, monuments, boundary markers, statuary, and fountains). Though slightly different, these guidelines address common issues as applicable to each approach. Provided below are the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation which are very similar to those for Preservation- the major difference being two supplemental standards pertaining to additions or new construction.
Standards for Rehabilitation
1. A property shall be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal changes to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property shall be avoided.
3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, shall not be undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance iri. their own right shall be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction teclmiqucs or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old 111 design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible.
Treatments that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used.
8. Archeological resources shall be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

SIGNIFICANCE
19. Briefly stat~ historical and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.) The site is si$nificant due primarily to its architectural style. The rich ornamentat~on of both stick and eastlake details, which are very well maintained in the residence, provides the old quad area of Santa Clara with one of its major late Victorian gems. The residence appears virtually identical in plan to the structure as shown in the 1901 Sanborn map. Two alterations exist from the turn-of~the century house plan. The rear porch is not enclosed as it is today and there is no side entry and stair in the 1901 plan as exists in todays structure. The earliest directory consulted lists the house owned and occupied by Mrs. Dora Brock from 1912 to 1922.
From 1923 through 1945 W~E. DeSoto and later his widow, Louise, owned and occupied the residence. Mr~.DeSoto was a glazier. The house changed hands often during the late '40's and 'SO's. The last directory consulted lists the occupant as Gallagher Kieran in 1961.
