Santori 450 W. 3rd Street Tustin, California 92680 SUBJECT: CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF COMPLETE NEW SIDING AT 450 W. 3RD STREET Dear Mr. Santori: In accordance with Ordinance No..1001 which was adopted.June 20, 1988 by the Tustin City Council, the Community Development Director has the authority to approve, approve with conditions or deny Certification of Appropriateness for improvements requiring a City building permit for property located within a Cultural Resource District. The following findings are required before a Certificate of Appropriateness is issued: a. The proposed work conforms to the Municipal Code and design standards which may be established from time to time by the Cultural Resources Committee. b. The proposed work does not adversely affect the character of the District or Designated Cultural Resources within the District. C. The proposed work is harmonious with existing surroundings. The extent of harmony shall be evaluated in terms of appropriateness of materials, scale, size, height, placement and use of a new building or structure in relationship to existing buildings and structures and the surrounding setting. The Community Development Director has 1. reviewed the proposed installation of complete new siding for the above mentioned residence and has determined that the proposed improvement does not comply with the required findings in that the proposed masonite butt joint shiplap edge does not significantly simulate the Colonial Revival style of the structure and is incompatible in size, scale, and material. Distinguishing details of the house is the narrow clapboard siding which is found on Colonial Revival homes of its period and particularly on the subject house. In this respect, the proposed siding is not in harmony with the architectural style of the 300 Centennial Way • Tustin, California 92680 • (714) 544-8890 l G. Santori March 29, 1990 Page 2 building. The home was constructed in 1924 and is one of the City's prime few examples of Colonial Revival style. architecture and is representative of the size, shape, and character of homes being built by the average resident of Tustin..during the. 1920's. The draft Historical Resources Survey Report classifies this house as a B+ which represents the very best that remains of the past, and a vital link to the community in which it is located. The City's intent is to preserve the architecture of the structure. With the difficulty of duplicating materials of that time period, perhaps there are other materials which more closely resemble the siding which is presently on the house or perhaps the existing siding can be refinished, painted, patched, and reinforced using.,recognized preservation methods. These alternatives should be reviewed and evaluated. The City will re-evaluate any new alternative that you may have. Should you have any questions regarding this matter please feel free to contact me at (714) 544-8890, extension 254. Sincerely, Christine A. Shingleton Director of Community Development � for Christopher E. Jackson Associate . Planner.. CEJ:CAS:kbc ADDRESS: 450 3RD ST (W.) DATE: 1924 STYLE: COLONIAL REVIVAL - 20S SOURCE: RATING: T B+ ALTERATIONS: I-. COMMENT: DESCRIPTION: L_ . A Tudor -style roof, with a hipped peak on both the side -facing gables and the front -facing porch roof, crowns the Colonial Revival bungalow at 450 Third Street. Dentil trim, returns, and double louvered vents accent the gable faces. Narrow clapboard siding covers the exterior. The porch is supported by tapered wood columns, resting on piers built of two colors of grey brick. The wide front door, accented with a row of narrow diagonally -placed beveled glass windows, is flanked by multi -paned sidelights. Plate glass windows, flanked by narrow double -hung sidelights, are located on each side of the front door. A matching window set can be seen under the double gable on the west facade. A pair of gouble-hung windows, which occupy the space near the cast end of the front facade, match those used throughout the rest of the house.;} crr_X'rr Tf'A %,r•, - Charles and Clara Wilson acquired this property - 2 lois - in 1924 from Alice llubbaril juin owned it until 1969. Wilson built the house for $5,000, alt expensive house for those days, possibly because of the wide carved walnut molding used around lie ceilings in each room. Wilson was a water -well contractor, working in Tustin and for the Irvine Company. He received recognition in 1945 when he brought in the deepest known water well using one unbroken string of 16 -inch stovepipe casing. The well, located on die Borchard ranch on Ritchey St., Santa Ana, was 1475 feet deep. There are few Tudor Revival homes in Tustin. This one is a good example of that style and representative of the size and general shape being built by the average resident of Tustin during the 1920's. March 14, 1990 To: Tustin Planning Department From: G. Santori 450 W. 3rd Street Tustin, CA 92680 (714) 832-7861 I am applying for a permit to change the siding on the above mentioned house. The reasons being that some of the existing siding was destroyed upon removal to facilitate an electrical panel change (modern circuit breaker type). Unfortunately, the siding cannot be purchased today. Secondly, and more important, a new garage will be constructed very soon which would also require siding and the cost to have matching siding would be quite prohibitive/5&06V /V 1%oFiP,,e-SS- F'c-����r- XV6106 9 Respectfully yours, G.
