STAFF CUMMENT: The LDRs specify that as part of the HPB duties, the Board shall protect historic resources, and update surveys of historic resources. The resurvey of the Marina Historic District complies with this requirement. LDR Section 4.5.1(N), Criteria for Change of Historic Designation (1 } A survey of all hisforit districts may be conducted by the City every five (5) years. The survey report may recommend changes to the hisforit designation and/or classification of properties /orated within or immediately adjacent fa a designated hisforit district. Ordinance 10-09, Marina Historic District Remoual of Historic Designation HPB Meeting February 18, 2009; Page 3 of 4 {a} Criteria for Removal from a Historic District: if a survey reveals that a part of a historic district that touches the edge.of the boundary of the historic district as if existed at the time of original designation of that district or that was once part of a plaffed lot that touched the edge but has since been subdivided has had its historic integrity irreversibly compromised due to inappropriate development as determined 'by the survey consultant, then the offending part of the disfricf may be removed and the boundary lines of the historic district revised to reflect the removal in accordance with LDR Section 4.5.9(0). STAFF CQMMENT: The subject survey meets the criteria for change of historic designation as it recommends that a portion of the historic district be removed, al! of which touch the district's boundary as it existed at the time of the original designation. Therefore, the subject removal of historic designation meets the criteria listed above. LDR Section 4.5.1(©}, Procedures for Change of Historic Designation (1} Procedures for Removal from or Expansion of a Historic District: Applications shall be made to the Historic Preservation Board and maybe initiated by written request of.' {c) Any owner(s) of a property to be removed or added based upon the recommendation of a City-initiated survey completed within twelve {92) months or less prior to application, Applications submitted by property owners shall include: 9. photographs and addresses of all properties that will be er"ther removed from or added to the historic district and;" per the survey recommendations. 2. signafures of of least seventy-flue percent {75°l0) of the property owners that are located in the area that will be removed from or added to the historic district. STAFF C{~MMENT: The subject application for removal of historic designation was submitted by two (2} property owners {designated as Authorized Agents) within 12 months of the survey's completion which was June 2008, The application included the required information noted above. Therefore, the subject application has been processed for HPB review. {3) The Planning and Zoning Director or his/her designee shall conduct a preliminary evaluation of the information provided on each application to determine if it generally conforms with criteria in LDR Section 4.5.9{1V)~9). The Planning and Zoning Director or his/her designee shall Then prepare a report which shall contain the following: (a) Change of Historic Designation: 9. Proposed revised legal boundaries of the hisforic district; 2. Analysis of the historic significance and character of the property{ies) to be removed from to the historic district,` and 3, A staff recommendation as fo whether or not the properties should be removed due to irreversible loss of historic integrity as a result of inappropriate development within a nlstonc prstrrcr or part of a district, STAFF C©MMENT: The revised legal boundary noted in the attached Ordinance does not include those listed properties in Attachment B. There are two properties (330 and 340 SE 7~" Avenue) within the area to be removed which were found to have significance within the district. These properties were not previously eligible for contributing Ordinance 10-09; Marina Historic District Removal of Historic Designation HPB Meeting February 18, 2009; Page 4 of 4 classification. 'those properties within the subject area to be removed which were previously classified as Contributing no longer exist as they were demolished and replaced with new construction. The other properties have either been recently constructed, are not eligible for contributing classification, or have not maintained their integrity. "the Florida Master Site File Forms for 330 and 340 SE 7th Avenue note the following with respect to their significance: • 330 SE 7th Avenue - "This residence represents a style popular in the 1950s and illustrates the development history of the area. This resource could contribute to the Marina Historic District if the boundaries (were maintained) and the Period of Significance were extended." • 340 SE 7th Avenue - "this residence represents a style popular in the 1960s and illustrates the development history of the area. This resource could contribute to the Marina Historic District if the boundaries (were maintained) and the Period of Significance were extended." While the above noted properties have maintained their integrity and are representative of their time periods, the report also justifies their removal as they "are not contiguous with the historic district,...and,...it is not appropriate to use the discontiguous district format to include isolated resources or small groups of resources." It is unfortunate that the area requested for removal has been so significantly altered from the district's designation only twenty years ago. The area originally contained smaller scaled homes original to the development of SE 7th Avenue. Nevertheless, the new development both along the east side of SE 7tn Avenue, and immediately adjacent to the district has greatly impacted the integrity of this area. Based on the analysis given in the GAI Consultants, Inc. final survey report and above, positive findings can be made with respect to LDR Section 4.5.1(N) and 4.5.1(0). First and Second Readings are anticipated at City Commission on Tuesday, March 3, 2009, and Tuesday, March 17, 2009, respectively. RECOMMENDATION By Separate Motions: Recommend approval to the Planning and Zoning Board regarding Ordinance 10-09, with respect to the LDR Amendment to Section 4.5.1(L)(2), Marina, pursuant to LDR Section 2.2.6(D)(5). Recommend approval to the City Commission of Ordinance 10-09 for the removal of historic designation of 12 properties from within the Marina Historic District. Prepared by: Amy E.

Historic Preservation Chapter of the City of De1r8y Beach Land Development Regulafions, which was adopted March 10, 1987, combined with Delray Beach's status as a Certified Local Government (CLG}, mandates the City to periodically conduct an inventory of historic architectural resources. The Historic Preservation Chapter calls for identification of all districts, archaeological sites, buildings, structures, improvements and appurtenances within the city. As outlined in the Request for Proposals, this task is projected to be completed no later than June 15, 2008. The Resurvey of the Marina Historic District is intended to provide a detailed report on the development and architecture of the district, and recommendations as to the designation of the district both on the Local and National Registers of Historic Places. The resurvey is to include all contributing and non-contributing buildings and structures within the district boundary and Florida Master Site File {FMSF} forms will be submitted for all buildings and structures over 35 years of age. 1.2 Project Location The Marina Historic District Resurvey area is Eocated within the corporate limits of the City of Delray Beach, in Palm Beach County, Florida (Figure 1}. The City of Delray Beach is located on the Atlantic Coast of Florida, south of West Palm Beach, and north of Boca Raton. Palm Beach County is bounded an the west by Glades County and Hendry County, on the north by Martin County, on the east by the Atlantic C}cean, and an the south by Broward County. The Marina Historic District Resurvey Area, which is Eocated south of the downtown area, consists of city blocks that typically fallow a rectilinear grid within the corporate limits of the City of Delray Beach. The survey area is bounded an the north by East Atlantic Avenue; on the west by the narthlsauth alley between SE ?`h Avenue and Federal Highway from SE 4`h Street to SE 1S` Sheet where it veers to the east and then continues north to East Atlantic Avenue alone the center line of SE 7`" Avenue; on the east by the Intracoastal Waterway; and an the south by SE 4t Street (Figure 2}. Note: the multi-family properties at 35 and 45 SE 7`h Avenue are not included in the district. 1,3 Project Purpose The City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department initiated this project to ensure that the City's ongoing preservation planning efforts effectively respond to the City's current historic resources. The purpose of this survey project is to augment and update previous survey work conducted, and provide information an pre-1973 resources not previously surveyed. The collected information will assist the City in the factual understanding of its historic resources and allow for the appropriate future planning of the Marina Historic District and its immediate surroundings. ~ .~ SOURCE: USGS 7.5 MINUTE DEI_RAY BEACH, FL FIGURE 1 QUAaRANG~E MAP {1962, PNC?TClREVISED 1988) PROJECT LOCATION RESURVEY OF THE IVIARINA HISTORIC DISTRICT ~~ .` ~ 2 li..rrl~iA '" Y .> ~C '~ l ~..v yy .. ...a., ~ _..~ a ez . ~r ..~y - ~ i, ~ - e ~~a` i ,'~ ..

The survey consisted of four phases: 1} meetings, 2} background research, 3) field survey and data entry, and 4) evaluation of resources, within the study area for their eligibility far local and national landmark status. 2.1 Meetings Several meetings were held in connection with this project. A kick-off meeting with the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department was held on April 15, 2008 at the City offices in Delray Beach. This meeting covered the project background, schedule, purpose and goals, and recommended research sources and local contacts. Qn May 19, 2008, Warren Adams held a meeting with Amy Alvarez at the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department to give an overview of the survey process and survey findings and to discuss the Draft Report. On May 21, 2008, the progress of the survey and report was discussed with Amy Alvarez {City of Delray Beach Preservation Planner}, Paul Darling {City of Delray Beach Director of Planning and Zoning), and Susan Ruby {City of Delray Beach City Attorney}. Qn the same day, a progress report was also presented to the City's Historic Preservation Board (HPB} at their regular meeting as a Discussion Item. 2.2 Background Research GAI conducted a search of the Florida Master S'rte File {FMSF) database for previously surveyed historic resources and previous cultural resource management reports. Presently there are 45 resources with FMSF numbers located in the study area. The previous surveys in the City of Delray Beach are described more fully in Section 3 of this report. GAI Seniar Architectural Historian Warren Adams conducted additional research an the general history and development of the Marina District and the City of Delray Beach to augment the information provided in the FMSF forms. This included a review of information an previously surveyed buildings and structures, published histories of the City of Delray Beach, and Sanborn maps depicting the project area. Further research was also undertaken in the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department, where building record cards and HPB reports by City Staff were consulted to check for any alterations to structures within the project area. 2.3 Field Survey and Data Entry The existing boundary of the Marina Historic District study area (see Figure 2} was established by the original designation of the district in 1988. The boundary was established to include resources that represent the best architectural examples which fall within the period of significance and that convey the historic architectural character and the historical spatial development of the neighborhood. GAl Senior Architectural Historian Warren Adams conducted the field survey phase of this project between May 10 and May 16, 2008, systematically walking street-by-street to update the existing information and to identify newly contributing architectural resources within the historic district. The field survey phase involved the documentation of architectural resources in the survey area. The architectural resources were photographed and retarded on FMSF Forms and entered into the SmarfForm JJ database program. The architectural styles, features, and settings of these resources were retarded, and any major Changes or alterations to the resources were noted. All copies of the photographs far use by the City were prints processed from digital images taken during the field survey phase. Photographs submitted to the FMSF were digital images on a Compact disc, as well as prints on plain paper. ©riginal FMSF forms and supporting materials were submitted to the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department and to the FMSF in Tallahassee. GAi expected to identify a large number of resources that had been previously recorded in the FMSF, based on the completion of the original designation. This expectation was verified in the field. Since the original survey, the Marina Historic District has experienced a significant level of inappropriate development both within and adjacent to the district boundary and has lost same Contributing resources as a result of demolition and altera#ians. These factors led GAI to expect a number of negative imparts to the district as a whale, which could potentially result in a proposed amendment to the existing district boundary. Final Report June 13, 2008 2.4 Evaluation Resurvey of the Marina Historic District There were three principal goals of the resurvey of the Marina Historic District: 1 }evaluate the historic properties in the Marina Historic District survey area for their status as contributors or non-contributors within the district; 2} evaluate the historic resources for eligibility in the National Register of Historic Places {NRHP}, either individually, or as part of a historic district; and 3} evaluate the existing district boundary to determine if it should be amended. The evaluations were based on the information collected during the fieldwork and background research phases of the survey, the NRHP Criteria {Appendix A}, National Register Bullefin 15-How f© Appty fhe Nafional Register Criteria for Evaluation, National Register Bulletin 21-Defining Bour7daries far Nafionat Register Properties, and the City of Delray Beach Land Development Regulations Section 4.5.1 {t3} Criteria for Designation of Nisforic Sifes or Disfricts. ~1 ~~i'l~ I~ f ~ Final Repoli Resurvey of the Marina Historic District .lone 13. 2008 3.4 Previous Surveys in the Marina Historic District Survey Area GAI conducted a search of previous historic architectural surveys conducted within the Marina Historic District. Three previous cultural resource surveys have been identified that included all or part of the project area. The identified architectural and historical surveys, which have been conducted since 1988, are summarized below. 3.1 Previous Cultural Resources Surveys in the Survey Area The first survey of the Marina Historic District was undertaken in 19$8 for the creation of the historic district. "this initial survey consisted of an overview of all resources within the existing district boundary and identified 51 contributing buildings and 45 non-contributing buildings. The contributing buildings were built between 1922 and 1943, with the predominant architectural styles being Mediterranean Revival and Minimal Traditional. Other architectural styles included Art Moderne, Colonial Revival, Bungalow, Vernacular, Monterey, and Mission. The report also noted the most significant structures within the district, which included: The Presidential {700 East Atlantic Avenue}; The Bayd Building {840 East Atlantic Avenue); The Christian Science Church {200 SE 7t" Avenue); The Anchorage {66 Marine Way); Marine Villas {110 Marine Way}; The Fontaine Fox Cottages {238, 232, 228, and 222 SE 7`" Avenue); and the early Mission style townhouses at 46-48 Marine Way. Following the original survey, no other comprehensive district-specific surveys have been undertaken. However, in 1999, Janus Research updated the previously available information on contributing structures as part of their citywide surrey, and in 2006, REG Architects included a general overview of the district in the amended Historic Preservafitin Design Guidelines. The amended guidelines list 44 structures as contributing to the district and, with concern, note the level of new development, particularly in the southern portion of the district. 3.2 National Register-Listed Resources in the Marina Historic District The City of Delray Beach currently has five properties listed on the National Register; however, none are located within the Marina Historic District. 3.3 Marina Historic District Historic Landmarks In 1987, The City of Delray Beach enacted its first historic preservation ordinance, which resulted in the creation of the Historic Preservation Board {HPB}. The HPB' duties, according to the ordinance, include recommending historic sites and districts to the City Commission. The City currently has 30 individually designated historic sites; however, Wane are located within the Marina Historic District. ~ I 6 Final Report June 13, 2Q(38 4.{} Survey Findings Resurvey of the Marina Historic District 4.1 Architectural Styles in the Marina Historic District Survey Area Vernacular Vernacular buildings were typically designed and constructed by lay builders who utilized traditional building techniques. When America transformed from an agrarian to an industrial nation in the late nineteenth century, mass production was more widely practiced, leading to the standardization of building elements. Decorative features often were derived from other historical styles that may result in a classification of Vernacular with elements that are tied to a specific architectural style. For example, residential buildings in Delray Beach are frequently a vernacular type, but have recognizable features associated with Mediterranean Revival, Mission, or Classical styles. Frame Vernacular Frame Vernacular houses were built in the Marina Historic District beginning in the mid-192Qs and continued in popularity into the 1940s, although there are also a small number of more recent examples including the resource at 24-26 Marine Way trot ;,ontains same classical detailing. Features of this -~~~.-~ building type typically include hipped or gable ~;~~~ j roofs, agable-end facade, open or screened ~~ ; front porches with a hipped or gable roof, and a f central entrance. tither architectural details can ,~:. ~ , i '~, ~f s~ include exposed rafter tails, gable-end vents, Y,~ -~;~, ~ shutters, simple porch columns, and chimneys. ~t~t~rx ~ ~ - ~~, = -~,~ ix w Frame vernacular houses are usually sided with ~~ ~ , ,~~, ~'~` ~, ~. weatherboard or novelty siding, and are ~ `~ ?'~ ~~'' ., ~, y-~.~.---- -'. sometimes trimmed with contrasting ~A .~ r ~~~~~r"~ cornerboards.

They tend to be simple, largely unornamented, and constructed from readily available building materials. Masonry Vernacular houses were built within the Marina Historic District from 1928- 1957. They are a mixture of one- and two-story single family residences and one- and two-story multiple family units. Houses built in this style within the district are typically finished with smooth stucco and have hipped, gable, ar flat roofs. Features of this building type include exposed rafter tails, gable vents, shutters, brick veneer and detailing, decorative metal trellises, and chimneys. Window types include double hung sash, jalousie, and awning.

The roofs of this style are typically low or intermediate, with close eaves and rake. Typically, but not always, these houses have large chimneys and afront-facing gable, reflecting the popularity of the Tudor style cat`ages that were so popular in the 1920s and 1930s. These houses, which are usually clad in wood or stucco and sometimes with a partial facing of stone, rock ar brick, are relatively small, one-story, modest residences. A number of Minimal Traditional-style houses are present in the survey area, including: Photograph 3-29 Patm Square (PB00298} "this style, which originated in Califamia in the 1930s, continued in popularity through the 1970s. Features of this style include a maximized facade width, which is increased by built-in garages, a nearly standard amenity an these houses; a low-pitched roof, usually extending on the front to shelter a porch or stoop; an asymmetrical design; and ribbon or large picture windows with decorative shutters. A small number of Ranch style houses are located within the Marina Historic District. A good example is illustrated by: Photograph 4-923 SE ~~ Avenue This style was popular in Florida from the 1920s through the 1940s. Features of this style include frame construction with weatherboard or novelty siding; aloes-pitched roof, usually extending on the front to shelter a porch; wide overhanging eaves; exposed rafter tails; multi-pane upper sash; and an off-center entrance. They are typically one to one-and-a-half stories in height.

Mediterranean Revival Style Resurvey of the Marina Historic District style California mission churches established by Father Junipero Serra during the 1700s. Built throughout Delray Beach, the Mission style was particularly popular during the Florida Land Boom period. This style features aone- or two- story height, smooth- or rough-textured stuccoed walls, a flat roof obscured by a parapet which may be shaped, clay the shed roofs over windows and doors, Craftsman-style windows, exposed drain spouts, and arched openings. A :n ill-preserved example of the Mission Style in the survey area is shown in Photograph 6: ~- Photograph 6--906 SE 7`h Avenue (PB90287) This style first was developed in the Palm Beach area of Florida in the early 1920s and was popularized by Florida architect Addison Mizner, who constructed elaborate and scrupulously detailed Mediterranean _ Revival style mansions for his wealthy clients.

Details include frame or masonry construction with wand or stucco exterior, double-hung sash or casement windows, and the or shingle roof coverings. There is only one example of the Monterey style in the survey area: Photograph 9--The Anchorage, fill Marine Way Art Moderne Art Moderne is considered a product of the modern movement in architecture.

Single-family residences with uniform setbacks from the 192gs to 196Q are set on a grid street plan and make up the overwhelming majority of the building stock in the survey area Lot sizes vary with the largest residential tats being situated on the Intracoastal Waterway. The most common architectural styles are Masonry and Frame Vernacular, Minimal Traditional, and Mediterranean Revival, with isolated examples of Mission, Monterey, Colonial Revival, Craftsman Bungalow, Ranch, and Art Moderne. Buildings in the southern section of the survey area range from small traditional residences to large, recently-built single family homes. Multiple-family residences within the survey area date from 1937 through 1996 and are a mixture of one- and two-story structures. The majority of these structures are Masonry Vernacular in style although there is also one example of the Monterey style, Final Report Resurvey of the Marina Historic District June 13, 2448 Commercial buildings in the northern section of the survey area are concentrated slang East Atlantic Avenue. The five commercial structures were built between 1931 and 1996 and are a mixture of architectural styles consisting of AR Maderne, Mission, Masonry Vernacular, and a modern interpretation of the Mediterranean Revival style. The structures range from one to three stories in height with glass storefronts facing the street. Isolated examples of other building types and property uses found in the survey area include a church, parking lots, and a marina and park on Marine Way. 4.3 Surveyed Res©urces in the Marina Historic District Survey Area GAI surveyed 87 resources in the Marina Historic District project area in May 2008. This number includes survey updates far 46 previously surveyed resources, 16 newly identified cantributing resources, and 28 non-contributing resaurces {listed in Appendices B, C, and D respectively}. Each entry in Table 1 {below} includes the FMSF number, date of construction (either documented ar estimated}, name (where applicable}, address, and its architectural style.

Instead, it provides a historic context or framework for the evaluation of the surveyed buildings and structures in the Marina Historic District surrey area for passible nationalllocal historic designation, both individually and as contributors to the historic district. This historic overview is organized around important milestones in the history of Delray Beach, and also highlights important historical themes, such as settlement. The concluding section of this chapter ties together the important historical themes in the 2008 Marina Historic District resurvey area as illustrated by examples of local architecture. 5.2 Eariy History of Delray Beach Development in the vicinity of Delray Beach began in 1876, with the construction of the Orange Grove House of Refuge No. 3 by the United States Life Saving Gorps. This building was built on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in what is now Delray Beach, and was named for the nearby sour orange grove. This building was one of nine houses of refuge constructed on the east coast of Florida, from New Smyrna to Biscayne Bay. These buildings were constructed to serve as life saving stations far shipwrecked sailors or far travelers passing from the northern paint of Jupiter south to Miami. The Zion Past Office was constructed near present-day Delray Beach in 1886, and it served as a stop for the Barefoot Mailman, who would make an overnight stop an his route between Juno Beach and Leman Gity, located just north ~r ~ ~_ ~~ I s ,[ ~ ~ of Miami (Janus Research 2002: 10}. Photograph 12-Orange Grave Nouse of Refuge, Built in 187& ~~~ ~ ~ ~~'~~ ~~~~~~~ In 1894, William S. Linton, a postmaster from "t ' ~ - ~; _ __: s~~"" ~ ~~ ~;,~,~~~ ~~~ Saginaw, Michigan, traveled to south Florida with his `; '"~ ~ - ~'1~_: ~ ~~~'.~i~'"' friend and bookstore owner David Swinton. While in -, -_1 q ~ ':- West Palm Beach, they became aware of a land sale _.. - being held near the House of Refuge and traveled drawn the Fast Crust Canal by harr~e to ~€~e the land. Ultimately, Linton and Swinton purchased 160 acres of land from Captain George Gleason of Jacksonville, who originally purchased the land in 1868 under the provisions of the Homestead Exemption Act {Farrar 1974: 12}. Linton, in turn, platted a town in his name an this land. He returned to Michigan and began an advertising campaign to promote his investment and to draw settlers to his new town. The 1895 Plat for the Town of Linton laid out a central business district, residential fats, a school lot, and a race track. Photograph 1.3-1895 Plat of Town of Linton In 1896, with the arrival of Henry Morrison Flagler's Florida East Coast (FEG} Railway, subdivisions were platted and the Town of Linton was officially recorded, in a partnership between Linton and Flagler's Model Land Company. Many of the new local residents went to work far Flagler, clearing and grading the railroad route and laying rails (Nielander 1995: 7}. Black families from northern Florida also began to arrive and settled west of and near the Town of Linton, in an area known as the Sands, which got ~i ~t~~ll~l,~~~~t"1~~ ~ 15 Final Report Resurvey at the Marina Historic District June 13, 2008 its name from its sandy soil. This area is known today as the West Settler's Historic District. Many of these new families found the area suitable for settlement and opportunity, and in turn, they encouraged relatives and friends to relocate to the area {Janus Research 2003: 2}. The new settlers to Linton, however, would quickly find themselves tested by several adverse events, including a freeze that destroyed many of the crops and a hurricane that brought devastation to their property. As a result, many of the settlers, including William S. Linton, found themselves financially ruined from the losses of crops and personal property. Many of the town's residents traveled back to Michigan or south to Miami. The news of Linton's financial demise spread to Michigan; subsequently, fewer people were willing to risk settlement in the new town. Because the name Linton had become associated with these catastrophic events, those citizens who remained decided to change the name of the town, both to attract new residents and to minimize the failure associated with William Linton. The name Delray was chosen, as it was also the name of the Detroit suburb where resident Warren W. Blackmer originally lived {Farrar 1974: 27). At the turn of the 20th century, the railroad spurred growth in the town, and the population expanded. Regular freight and passenger services were offered, and construction began to increase, including completion of two schools, a general store and commissary, and multiple churches (Janus Research 2002: 12). Flagler's Model Land Company also brought a number of Japanese immigrants to the area during this period. These immigrants settled just south Delray, forming a colony called Yamato. Flagler encouraged the Japanese settlers to establish farming communities, and pineapples became their principal crop. Colony founder Ja Sakai recruited young men from his native village of Miyazu, as well as other surrounding towns, to emigrate to Florida. Yamato Colony settlers frequented Delray, often participating in social events, educational activities, and trade. However, the Yamato settlement never reached more than 100 people, and a combination of a downturn in the pineapple market as well as competition from Cuban pineapple growers resulted in the near disappearance of the colony by 1920 (Janus Research 2003: 2). The early 20th century witnessed steady growth in Delray. During the first decade of the 1900s, the town continued its transformation from a small farming community to a destination favored by new residents and winter visitors. Atlantic Avenue grew as the commercial center of the town, and construction of hotels and commercial buildings occurred along this improved road, which was covered in stones from Swinton Avenue to the East Coast Canal. Communications in Delray were also improved at this time, as the West Palm Beach Telephone Company provided telephone service to the town (Janus Research 2002: 12}. In 1909, Palm Beach County was created when it was carved out of the northern portion of Dade County. 'fhe town continued its evolution during the second decade of the 1900s, as the growing population allowed for increased investments and improvements, In 1911, the Town of Delray was incorporated, and John Shaw Sundy was elected the first mayor {Sundy's -house still stands in the ©Id School Square Historic Arts District), The incorporated Town of Delray consisted of land located west of the East Coast Canal. ~~ _% 3', ,^ jt ;~;.;' r- j } .s i~ Photograph 14-John Shaw Sundy Residence, Which Stilt Stands an South SUVintan Avenue °~y. i Y~^,~~" F jN*''=mar ~_. i ri _, ... - f 16 Final Report June 13, 2008 m.. ~~~. _ . _ ~. ~, t - ~, ~ ~ -.~..~ 4 __ e ~ ~~ ,„f »nwsx r'wic a'~, ~. _ a. ~ ti..~ a' '" ~ j ya ~ `. ti ~` 1 A `~ . > . ,~ .:.; ;'~~~ '~~ I. ~ - ~ - __. ~ ~.

Entertainment and recreation was also important to the residents of Delray, as a movie theater, The Bijou, was canstructed in 1917. By 1920, the population census noted 1,061 residents living in Delray {Janus Research 2002:13). Photograph 96--Original Bridge Crossing East Coast Canal, Circa 999Q 5.3 Florida Land Boom hand Bust) in delray Beach Following the end of World War 1, which did not have a pronounced effect on Delray due to its relative isolation, a period of prosperity began in the area and throughout Florida. Many people were drawn to Florida's mild climate, and the proliferation of automobiles and road improvements teamed to bring many settlers to the Delray area. Known as the "Ocean City,° the prime location and wealth of available sand made Delray a top attraction for new residents {Janus Research 2003: 3). Land auctions were held daily in a tent on Atlantic Avenue, and commercial and residential buildings sprang up throughout the town. A number of new subdivisions were also developed throughout Delray, allowing middle-income families an opportunity to purchase homes. By 1923, the increased settlement prompted incorporation of the Tawn of Delray Beach, located between the East Coast Cana! and the Atlantic Ocean. Shortly thereafter, in response to the housing shortage and to fill subdivisions in the town, the Delray Realty Board initiated a "`Build-a-Home" program in 1926. Moderately-priced homes were canstructed throughout the town to accommodate the increased demand for housing, and many of these homes were built in the popular styles of the time, including Spanish-influenced Mediterranean Revival and Mission styles, fashionable in the Palm Beach area during the 1920s, and the Frame Vernacular {borrowing many Bungalow influences) styles. By 1927; the Towns of Delray and Delray Beach merged, and were incorporated as the City of Delray Beach {Janus Research 2002:1$). ail l ~C7 ~"i ~ ~1 l ~c~ t"i ~~ ~ ~ 7 Final Report Resurvey of the ivlarina Historic District June 13, 2008 1 Photograph 17-The Colony Notel on East Y ~ ~ `:f `` '` Atlarxtie Avenue, Built in 9926 1.0. .: .. ~ ~ ~ Although development was growing at an exponential rate, and the numbers of full- , ~ ~= ~ ~ time and seasonal residents continued to ~' ~ increase, the land boom came to a jarring ' .,,,.,. -~N ~ '~^ ~~ ~ - halt.

By August of 1926, the --- FEC Railroad stopped , shipment of construe, :ion materials, severely hampering construction (Cur! 1987: 94}. The downfall was further exacerbated by two dev;utating hurricanes which passed through Palm Beach County in 1926 and 1928. The 1928 hurricane was particularly damaging to Delray Beach, as more than 227 houses were destroyed in the storm (Farrar 1974: 66). By the end of the 1920s, along with the crash of the stock market, Florida's real estate was rendered virtually worthless. 5.4 The Great Depression and World War it Despite the economic ravages of the Great Depression, Delray Beach maintained its status as a resort community during the 1930s. The city became a popular destination for cartoonists and writers during this period, as many maintained offices or studios in the Arcade Building on Atlantic Avenue (Britt 1984: 159}. Construction projects on Ocean Boulevard and the Intracoastal Waterway also began to increase during this period, and subdivisions such as Ocean Breeze Estates and Seabreeze Park were platted and developed. Local architects began to design homes in lighter and simpler forms, providing a more stylish and practical response to those homes constructed during the Land Boom period (Groover 1998: 70}. By the end of the 1930s, daily life in south Florida was being shaped by the looming threat of war. Florida was to become one of the military's major training grounds, and new training facilities were located on Yamato land. Families were evicted from their homes, and Delray Beach became a refuge for Japanese families escaping forced interment. Tourism, which had long been the state's major industry, was curtailed as hotels were converted for use as military housing. The influx of servicemen and their families necessitated an increase in industrial and agricultural production. Delray Beach was at the center of military involvement in Florida, as local men enlisted in the armed forces while women ran businesses and participated in war-related volunteer activities. Blackouts were common during evening hours, as German submarines patrolled off the east coast of Florida (Curl 1987: 109}. The proximity of Delray Beach to a number of military installations in the area resulted in many military personnel and their families living in the city during the war. These families were taken by the atmosphere and climate of the area, and many decided to remain after the war (Janus Research 2003: 4}. 5.5 Aftermath of World War 1f to Present Following World War I#, communities in Florida began to grow at a rapid rate. Many of the World War II veterans who were stationed in Florida returned to establish permanent or seasonal residency. Since these new residents were faced with a housing shortage, many homes, including prefabricated homes, were quickly and efficiently constructed using the latest in building technology. In addition to the rapid growth of permanent and seasonal residents, the tourist population increased dramatically, reaching prewar levels (Janus Research 2002: 20). By the 1950s, architects began designing homes in Delray Beach that capitalized an ease of construction and suitability to the local climate. Many homes in the Palm Trail and Chevy Chase neighborhoods were constructed with 2-car garages, metal frame jalousie or awning windows, and low-pitched roofs. These architects also used a U-shaped plan to include a rear patio space, which was a good response to Q_ ~ 18 Final Report Resurvey of the Marina Historic District .lone 93, 2008 indaorloutdaar living in a temperate climate and which promoted natural air circulation (Janus Research 2(102; 21). Another wave of settlement in Delray Beach occurred in the 1960s and 1970s, in response to the relocation of large corporations such as IBM and Motorola to the area. Along with construction of offices and manufacturing facilities in the surrounding areas, suburban developments were built near Delray Beach, and many of the new residents found these suburbs much more attractive than neighborhoods near downtown {Curl 19$7: 124}. As a result of suburban development, shopping areas and amenities were built outside of the downtown area, and the resulting shift toward suburbanizatian had a negative effect on Delray Beach. In the 1980s, Delray Beach initiated efforts to revitalize the heart of downtown, by emphasizing the benefits of historic preservation and improving the infrastructure along the principal business thoroughfares. This effort continued through the 1990s and into the 2000s, as Delray Beach has sought to maintain its historic character and preserve its built environment by placing a renewed emphasis on the benefits of living and conducting business in and around the downtown area. v.6 History and Development of the Marina Historic District The Marina Historic District is unique to the City of Delray Beach because of its proximity to East Atlantic Avenue and the Intracaastal Waterway. The district is laid out on a grid pattern and the majority of streets are lined with large shade trees. There is an area of city-owned parkland on the east side of Marine Way _ ~ adjacent to the marina. Photograph 98 -City-owned Parkland and Marina -Marine Way :' f ~~. . f The historic architectural fabric in the Marina Historic District dates from 1922 to 1960. Frame and Masonry Vernacular, Minimal Traditional, and Mediterranean Revival style buildings represent common stylistic preferences in the survey area from this period. Buildings in these styles are found throughout the Marina Historic District, along with examples of Monterey, Mission, Art Moderne, Ranch, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman Bungalow. While the predominant use within the district is residential, there is one church located at 200 SE 7"' Avenue and several commercial properties on East Atlantic Avenue. Photograph f 9-Art Moderne commercial property - 700-708 Easx Atlantic Avenue {PB00244) = --°--- There has been a significant amount of new development which negatively impacts the southern end of the historic district within the 300 black of SE 7"' Avenue. This new development consists of large, out of scale homes along the Intracaastal Waterway which are not compatible with the historic character of the district. Understandably, these large, waterfront lots are extremely desirable; however, the scale and style of the Final Report June 13, 2008 Resurvey of the Marina Historic District new structures is inappropriate for the district.

These resources were also evaluated for their potential to be collective contributing elements in the historic district, eligible, for listing in the NRHP and as contributing elements in the Marina Historic District. GAI utilized the criteria and standards relevant for each historic register, including National Register Bulletin 15-How to Apply the National Register Criteria and the criteria defined in Section 4.5.1 -Historic Preservation Sites and Districts, in the City of Delray Beach Land Development Regulations. 6.2 National Register of Historic Places {NRHP} The NRHP provides recognition for individual buildings and historic districts significant on the national, state, and local levels. ©ne important function of the NRHP is to identify significant properties that federal, state, and local planners should carefully consider when developing projects. Specifically, any project involving federal or state funding, permitting, licensing, or assistance must avoid adverse impacts to the NRHP-listed or -eligible property. Listing in the NRHP, either individually or as part of an historic district, may make a property eligible for a Federal Income Tax Credit. The property must be income producing and may qualify for up to a 0°la income tax credit. In Florida, counties and cities can grant ad valrrem tax relief for owners of historic properties. NRHP-listed properties also may be eligible for some American with Disabilities Act (ADA} and building safety code adjustments. 6.3 Historic Significance and the NRHP Criteria The NRHP lists individual landmarks and historic districts that satisfy specific criteria for significance and standards for architectural integrity (Appendix A}. The significance of an individual landmark or an historic district is assessed against the historic context established for the surrounding city, county, region, or state. The historic context written for the Marine Historic District architectural survey area established important historical themes and time periods against which the area's historic resources can be evaluated. GAI evaluated the integrity of individual resources in the survey area, as well as the integrity of the neighborhood within the survey area. The integrity of an individual historic resource or an historic district carries equal weight with its historic significance in assessing eligibility for listing in the NRHP. Alterations and additions to historic resources may affect the integrity of individual resources. Generally, buildings in the survey area have been altered or added to in some degree over the years and a number of new, large, and out-of-scale infill structures have been constructed to the south of the survey area that adversely affect the integrity of the district as a whole. 6.4 Applying the NRHP Criteria to the Marina Historic District Survey Area The three NRHP Criteria (Criteria A, B, and C} relating to historic structures were applied to individual historic resources and the Marina Historic District survey area. • Criterion A relates to significance in the broad patterns of history on the national, state, or local level, as well as association with important historical events. The Marina Historic District is significant under Criterion A for its association with the development of early neighborhoods in Delray Beach. This collection of resources was one of the early neighborhoods platted in the city. The district also represents two periods of rapid settlement of the city, during the Land Boom of the 1920s and the post World War 11 growth from the 1940s through the 1950s. • Criterion B relates to an individual resource's association with a person or persons significant on the local, state, or national level. A historic district may also be significant under Criterion B for buildings that are associated with significant individuals. Several buildings within the district are associated with important individuals in the city's history, such as those of the pioneering Blank family and the Fontaine Fox Cottages, associated with the famous cartoonist. i ~~5~~~ f 22 Final Rspart Resurvey of the Marina Historic District June 13, 2008 ^ Criterion C relates to buildings or historic districts that embody one or mare distinctive architectural styles or types, or can be attributed to known architects or master craftsmen. As Shawn above, the Marina Historic District contains a number of significant structures of varying architectural styles designed by prominent architects including Addison Mizner, Sam ~Jgren, Sr., Jahn Volk, and Gustav Maas. 6.5 Historic Resources Eligible for Individual Listing in the NRHP As part of the Marina Historic District resurvey, GAI identified buildings in the survey area that are eligible for listing in the NRHP andtor as locally designated historic landmarks. As this was areconnaissance- level survey, these evaluations were based on exterior examinations only along with basic historical research. The City should underkake an intensive survey of the following resources involving a detailed exterior and interior examination, comprehensive historic research, and a historic boundary determination for each resource. This should be followed by property owner requests for formal nomination of the historic resources to the NRHP andtor as City of Delray Beach historic landmarks. Table 2 lists the recommended historic resources evaluated during the ~Og8 survey, along with their FMSF number, name {where applicable}, address, and the applicable City of Delray Beach andtor NRHP eligibility.

A brief discussion of the historic district follows. Establishing a preliminary boundary for the historic district followed guidelines as outlined in National Register Bulletin 15 and took into consideration such factors as distribution of historic resources; natural boundaries such as waterways; man-made boundaries such as streets and roads; and most importantly, the ability of a district to convey the feeling of a coherent historic area, undiluted by the intrusion of significant numbers of modern buildings ar features. The existing Marina Historic District is bounded on the north by East Atlantic Avenue; an the west by the alley between SE 7`" Avenue and Federal Highway from SE 4'" Street to SE 1s1 Street where it veers to the east and then continues north to East Atlantic Avenue along the center line of SE 7`" Avenue; on the east by the Intracoastal Waterway; and on the south by SE 4k" Street. {Nate: the multi-family properties at 35 and 45 SE 7`" Avenue are not included in the district}. 'fhe district consists of a variety of contributing historic residential and commercial resources built between 1922 and 1960, consisting of primarily Frame and Masonry Vernacular, Minimal Traditional, and Mediterranean Revival style homes, but also including a handful of other representative styles from the period, including Monterey, Ranch, Colonial Revival, Mission, and Art Moderne, National Register Bulletin 95, How To Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation states: "A disfricf must be a definable geographic area that can be distinguished from surrounding properties by changes such as density, scale, type, age, style of sites, buildings, structures, and objects, or by documented differences in patterns of historic development or associations." and `The boundaries must be based upon a shared relationship among the properties constituting fhe district' With regard to discontiguous districts, the bulletin states: 'A disfricf is usually a single geographic area of contiguous historic properties; however, a district can also be composed of fwo or more definable significant areas separated by nonsignificant areas'. `It is not appropriate to use fhe discontiguous district format fo include an isolated resource or small group of resources which were once connected to the disfricf, but have since been separated either through demolition or new construction'. As stated previously, the character of the 300 black of SE 7`" Avenue has been adversely affected by the scale of the new canstructian along the Intracoastal Waterway, along with the new construction of the four-scary townhames contiguous to the west district boundary. These changes are bath significant and irreversible, Currently, there are two contributing structures in the 300 block as depicted an the map from the original designation report: 70$ SE 3rd Street and 603 SE 4"' Street. However, 603 SE 4`" Street has been sa significantly altered that its integrity has been compromised. The subject resurvey has identified five additional contributing structures located at 300, 303, 305, 330, and 340 SE 7`" Avenue. The structures at 300, 303, and 305 SE 7`" Avenue are cantiguaus to the Marina Histarie District to the north and are in good condition, relatively unaltered, and associated with the Blank family. Therefore, it is recommended that these properties are classified as contributing and remain within the historic district. The structures at 330 and 340 SE 7`" Avenue, however, are not contiguous with the historic district and, as stated above, it is not appropriate to use the discontiguous district format to include isolated resources ar small groups of resources. It is recommended therefore that the Marina Historic District boundary is amended as shown in Figure 3 to include the resources at 708 SE 3`d Street and 300, 303, and 305 SE 7`" Avenue, but that the remainder of the 300 black to the south of these resources is removed. It is acceptable to exclude part of a block from a historic district where a change in density, scale, type, age, style of sites, buildings, structures, and objects, ar by documented differences in patterns of historic development ar associations is evident. This was previously done during the original designation of the Marina Histarie District in 1988 when the district boundary excluded the newer multi-family properties at 35 and 45 SE 7`" Avenue. Consideration should be given to adding 330 and 340 SE 7`" Avenue to the Local Register; however, it is Hated that there is a pending demolition application for 340 SE 7`h Avenue.

The existing Period of Significance for the Marina Historic District spans from 1922 through 1943. It is recommended that a second Period of Significance be adopted which spans from 1947 through 196Q. 'this period reflects the post-World War II development within the Marina Historic District and includes additional significant resources designed in the Frame and Masonry Vernacular, Minimal Traditional, Mediterranean Revival, Ranch, and Art Moderne styles. <" ' E ~~'~ ~ 26 Final Report June 13, 2008 Resurvey of the Marina Historic District Table 3 _ COntrih~rtina Resources in the R4arina Historic !~i~trict Survey Area .. ,._._...._.,.....~.. __ ._ ~ .._ _.. r. _. i ~ East Atlantic ~~ 'i PB00244 ~ 1940 The Presidential BuildinglTurner Property ~ 700-708 Avenue Art Moderne East Atlantic P610155 I, 1931 812-814 Avenue ~ Mission PB00245 1939 The Boyd Building East Atlantic 816-840 Avenue [ Art Moderne PB13901 , 1960 24-26 Marine Way Frame Vernacular P600264 1925 30 Marine Way Mediterranean Revival j PB13902 PB00265 1926 1925 46 Marine Way -..... 48 Marine Way Mediterranean Revival __ Mediterranean Revival F PB00266 1940 54 Marine Way Minimal Traditional PB10294 1941 ~ The Anchorage 60 Marine Way Monterey P600267 1937 Marine Villas 110 Marine Way Mediterranean Revival PB00269 1940 160 Marine Way Minimal Traditional :.

GAI's background research included a review of previous architectural surreys, published histories of the City of Delray Beach and Palm Beach County, informant interviews, and historic maps and photographs. The GAI survey resulted in the completion of FMSF forms and photographs for 18 newly surveyed properties 35 years and older, as well as 45 survey updates. The survey identified 19 new contributing structures within the existing historic district boundary; however, this number reduces to 17 new contributing structures if the boundary is amended as recommended. The survey resulted in an illustrated historic context for the Marina Historic District's architectural resources. GAI evaluated the surveyed properties for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and for designation as City of Delray Beach historic landmarks. GAI also evaluated the surveyed properties as contributing resources to the historic district eligible for the NRHP and/or as the Marina Historic District. 7,2 Recommendations Integrate the FMSF forms and photographs of the Marina Historic District Resurvey with the files of previously surveyed historic resources at the City of Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department and the Delray Beach Historical Society, where they should be made available for review and copying kiy the general public. s Consider funding for National Register of Historic Places nominations for the aforementioned Marina Historic District. The City should be sure to involve property owners and local neighborhood preservation groups during the nomination process. This should include an educations! component, as many individual property owners in the survey area are not aware of the benefits afforded to them if their property is NRHP listed. • Consider amending the existing Marina Historic District boundary as recommended. Consider individual National Register and hocal Register designation for the resources identified in Table 2. Promote the City of Delray Beach Historic Marker program to clearly identify the city's historic landmarks from the road. This will boast community pride in local historic properties and will encourage residents to preserve and maintain historic properties. As public education should be a continuing goal of historic preservation in the City of Delray Beach, this report and its recommendations should be made available far public inspection on-line from the City web site. Additional copies of the report should be distributed to public libraries in the City of Delray Beach. The website should also incorporate the results of GAi's GIS mapping, to assist property owners and researchers in identifying locations of surveyed resources. ~1 ~C)!"~~~Itc~~l5 29 Final Repoli June 13, 2008 $.0 heferences Cited Britt, Lora S.
