ATTEST: City Clerk First Reading Second Reading MAYOR 2 Ord No. 29 -12 Coversheet MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Amy E. Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH: City Manager DATE: September 12, 2012 Pagel of 2 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 12.A. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 ORDINANCE NO. 29-12 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the City Commission is that of approval to individually designate the property located at 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North, as "Waters — Wellenbrink Residence ", for listing on the Local Register of Historic Places. BACKGROUND The subject property is located at 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North on the south side of the street, west of Andrews Avenue. The property contains a Cape -Cod Colonial Revival style single - family residence constructed in 1938. The building has been minimally altered which has allowed it to maintain its integrity. To qualify as a historic site, the property must fulfill one or more of the criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations Section 4.5.1(B). The site is being considered for listing on the Local Register of Historic Places as it fulfills the criteria of (B)(2) for its historical and cultural significance. The residence at 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North meets the above criteria in that it represents the lifestyle of its original and earliest residents who were "wealthy winter residents from the northeast seeking a comfortable and social location... considered less formal than Palm Beach." The selected designation name of "Water — Wellenbrink Residence" is derived from Willard Water and H.H. Wellenbrink, the original developers who created the Delray Beach Esplanade plat which encompassed all properties located along Vista Del Mar Drive. The structure also fulfills the criteria of (B)(3) due to its architectural or aesthetic significance., as it is exemplified by the Cape Cod/New England Cottage Revival style prevalent in coastal areas of South Florida throughout the 1930s and 1940s. The design, while thought "to have been built from a plan book" popular in the 1930s, provides distinctive features such as a stepped cedar shingle roof, dormers, and a central fireplace, among others. The original plans, therefore, do not indicate an architect. However, there may be a connection to Sam Ogren Sr., who is known as the "Father of Delray http:// itwebapp/ Agendalntranet /Bluesheet.aspx ?ItemID= 6021 &MeetingID=389 10/8/2012 Coversheet Page 2 of 2 Architecture ", based on a newspaper article from 1987. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) will review the subject designation at its meeting of September 19, 2012. The recommendation will be presented to the City Commission during the agenda item presentation. RECOMMENDATION Move approval on first reading of Ordinance No. 29 -12 to place the property located at 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North on the Local Register of Historic Places as "Waters - Wellenbrink Residence ", by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request and approval thereof is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Section 4.5.1 (13) of the Land Development Regulations. http:// itwebapp/ Agendalntranet /Bluesheet.aspx ?ItemlD= 6021 &MeetinglD =389 10/8/2012 City of Delray Beach Historic Designation Application Waters- Wellenbrink Residence: 1108 N.

The style is considered a creative and sometimes loose interpretation of 18th- century colonial architecture: Georgian, Federal, Dutch and Cape Cod - to name a few. Its peals of popularity was during the 1920s and 1930s, which coincided with the country's fascination with books and photographs by Wallace Nutting depicting architectural scenes of New England. Equally important was popular interest in the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg and its significant architectural influence on home building during this period. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, home construction was often "downsized" to a "cottage" scale. Consequently, these homes often drew on the modest story - and -a -half proportions of Dutch and Cape Cod precedents as well as diverse architectural styles other than Colonial Revival. These homes tend to allude to their colonial heritage without strict adherence to historically accurate colonial detailing. The Waters- Wellenbrink residence, constructed in 1938, is an example of Colonial Revival Architecture that incorporates the Cape Cod precedent. It is one of only three locally termed "New England Cottage Revival" houses remaining in a small. subdivision that once represented diverse, eclectic architectural revival styles from the Great Depression to the Post World War II era. The home's distinctive Cape Cod features iuulude: steeply pitched wood - shingled roof; central fireplace; clapboard siding; and many double -hung windows with shutters. However, the "Dutch dormer," at the front elevation, is a Dutch Colonial influence. In addition, a slight reference to a vernacular "Stick Style" can be seen in exposed rafter tails, vertical clapboard siding at the gables, decorative siding pattern at the east elevation, additional gables and use of casement- windows. While it is clear from records and newspaper articles that Waters and Wellenbrh-Lk constructed the home, exhaustive research has been unable to determine the original architect. However, a report prepared by the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board in 1998 indicates the home was likely created from a plan book, which would explain the absence of an architect's name being listed on the original plans. It is one of only two plan -book homes in the Vista Del Mar subdivision.

The home is depicted in the bottom right photo. Unfortunately, regarding the home, no clear substantiation of a tie between Waters and Ogren is made. Nevertheless, as a prominent builder, there is ample evidence from various archives that Waters had a close affiliation with Ogren because he constructed many of the architect's commissions. It may be reasonable to suggest that Ogren might have willingly offered design input to projects that were particularly important to his builder. Historical and Cultural Significance In the 1930s, Delray Beach was a haven for writers, artists and well -known cartoonists looking for a winter refuge from the cold weather that embraced their northern homes. Among those who carne to Delray Beach — and who settled in the area not far from the Vista Del Mar subdivision — were cartoonist Fontaine Fox, the creator of Toonerville Town and the Toonerville Trolley, and H.T. Webster, whose character Casper Milquetoast was the star of the "Timid Soul" comic strip. Along with the artists and writers came wealthy business owners, who wanted to avoid the formality of Palm Beach but who still yearned for the right climate, both social and atmospheric. Among them was George F. Green, a wealthy businessman from Danbury, Conn., who in 1935 was one of only a few residents in that town who were willing to give car rides to the curious for a 15 -cent donation to the local church. Green, the first owner of the home at 1108 Vista Del Mar Dr. North, was one of many winter residents reluctant to flaunt their wealth during a time when there was deep unemployment. As a result, he and others rejected the flamboyant Mediterranean revival -style home, the hallmark of residential construction during the Florida building boom. Instead these wealthy winter visitors chose to live in homes built in the Colonial Revival style, known locally as the New England Cottage Revival style. One of the most prolific builders of the time was Willard Waters, who along with his wife Billie, joined H. H. Wellenbrink and his wife, Charlotte, to plat the Delray Beach Esplanade subdivision along Vista Del Mar Drive North and South, west of Andrews Avenue. Waters and Wellenbrink would later build the home they would then sell to Green in 1940. Ernie Simon, a local attorney who grew up in Delray Beach and delivered newspapers in the Vista Del Mar subdivision, remembers Waters as a prolific builder who worked with the area's leading craftsmen and architects, including the city's first licensed architect, Samuel Ogren Sr. Waters grew up in Delray Beach and graduated from Delray Beach High School. His family lived at 222 N. Ocean Blvd., not far from the property he developed and farined on the barrier island in the early 2011' century. In later years, Waters would become active in city politics and in civic clubs. It would not have been possible for Waters and Wellenbrink to develop the community had the city not entered into an agreement with residents to fill low -lying land east of the Intracoastal Waterway in an attempt to eliminate sandflies, which were making the location less than hospitable. Known as the Muck Lots because of pools of stagnant water that bred biting insects, the land was filled by 1937 and platted in January 1938. That same year, Wellenbrink and Waters applied for building permits for three model homes. By the 1950s, according to local architect Roy Simon, most of the Vista Del Mar area had been built out, with homes similar in style to the house that George Green bought from Waters and Wellenbrink. By the late 1980s, however, Delray Beach began to experience the spreading trend in which older homes were bulldozed to make way for larger and more modern homes. Today, there are only three homes in the subdivision that reflect New England Cottage Revival style architecture. Current owners, John Grogan and Jenny Vogt, a married couple from Pennsylvania, are dedicated to restoring the home they purchased in December 2010 from Alliaml Hoover. The couple were full-time residents of Palm Beach County from 1987 to 1989 and both worked in Delray Beach. Although the home was in disrepair when it was purchased, Grogan and Vogt recognize its potential and hope to restore the property, keeping true to the original design and architecture. They believe that through restoration and sensitive additions, they can help maintain an important piece of Delray Beach's history and share their home as a reminder of a time when well-to -do artists and writers of the 1930s and 1940s found a welcoming winter warmth in Delray Beach.

Architecturally, it represents the New England Cottage Revival style that was prevalent in the 1930s and 1940s during the Great Depression and World War II era. These homes, once numerous in the Vista Del Mar subdivision, are disappearing at an alarming rate due to a growing trend of tearing down older homes and replacing them with larger modern houses. 111 addition, the home is one of only two u1 the neighborhood that were believed to have been built from a plan book and which are representative of popular styles of their time both across the nation and especially in the South Florida environment. The home also contains building materials - original Dade County Pine flooring, ceiling, and exposed structural beams; and old- growth cypress paneling; and elements of craftsmanship that are rapidly vanishing. From a cultural standpoint, the Waters - Wellenbrink home tells us much about the lifestyle of its early residents - many of them wealthy winter residents from the northeast seeking a comfortable and social location that was considered less formal than Palm Beach — that reflects the economic, social and environmental trends of the 1930s and '40s. j.

First owner: George F. Green, followed by Edwin H. Green and then Arthur B. Leonard. With the exception of a few months,, the home remained in the family from 1940-1969 HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT Designation Request: "Waters — Wellenbrink Residence" Property Address: 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North HPB Meeting Date: September 5, 2012 File No: 2012 -205 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action requested of the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission on a request for individual designation of "Waters — Wellenbrink Residence" located at 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.5.1(C), Designation Procedures. BACKGROUND The subject property is located at 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North on the south side of the street, west of Andrews Avenue. The property contains a Cape -Cod Colonial Revival style single- family residence constructed in 1938. The building has been minimally altered which has allowed it to maintain its integrity. The designation report is attached which includes a newspaper article, photographs, original plans and a historic newspaper article. Subsequent to this Public Hearing before the HPB, the designation will move forward for review by the City Commission where Public Hearings will be held on both September 20 and October 2, 2012. The designation is now before the Board for consideration. ANALYSIS LDR Section 4.5.1(6), Criteria for Designation of Historic Sites or Districts: Pursuant to Section 4.5.1(13)(1), to qualify as a historic structure, individual properties, structures, sites, or buildings, must have significant character, interest, or value as part of the historical, cultural, aesthetic, and architectural heritage of the city, state, or nation. To qualify as a historic site, historic district, or historic structure, the property or properties must fulfill one or more of the criteria set forth in division (2) or (3) below,. The subject structure meets the following criteria: (13)(2) Historical or cultural significance: (d) Exemplifies the historical, political, cultural, economic, or social trends of the community in history,• STAFF COMMENT: The residence at 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North meets the above criteria in that it represents the lifestyle of its original and earliest residents who were "wealthy winter residents from the northeast seeking a comfortable and social location... considered less formal than Palm Beach." The selected designation name of "Water — Wellenbrink Residence" is derived from Willard Water and H.H. Wellenbrink, the original developers who created the Delray Beach Esplanade plat which emcompassed all properties located along Vista Del Mar Drive. Nate ISI .1 wticr; 2J12-2�� ; s L -lP5 Meeting 3epterrlbe 5, 2012; Page 2 of 3 (B)(3) Architectural or aesthetic significance: (a) Portrays the environment in an era of history characterized by one or more distinctive architectural styles, (b) Embodies those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period, or method of construction; (d) Contains elements of design, detail, material, or craftsmanship of outstanding quality or which represented, in its time, a significant innovation or adaptation to the South Florida environment. STAFF COMMENT: The architectural significance is exemplified by the Cape Cod /New England Cottage Revival style prevalent in coastal areas of South Florida throughout the 1930s and 1940s. The design, while thought "to have been built from a plan book" popular in the 1930s, provides distinctive features such as a stepped cedar shingle roof, dormers, and a central fireplace, among others. The original plans; therefore, do not indicate an architect. However, there may be a connection to Sam Ogren Sr., who is known as the "Father of Delray Architecture ", based on a newspaper article from 1987. Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Objective A -4 The redevelopment of land and buildings shall provide for the preservation of historic resources. The objective shall be met through continued adherence to the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance and, where applicable, to architectural design guidelines through the following policies: Policy A -4.1 Prior to approval or recommending approval of any land use or development application for property located within a historic district or designated as a historic site, the Historic Preservation Board must make a finding that the requested action is consistent with the provisions of Section 4.5.9 of the Land Development Regulations relating to historic sites and districts and the "Delray Beach Design Guidelines ". Policy A -4.2 In order to protect the City's historic resources, the Land Development Regulations shall include provisions for designation of historically significant buildings, structures, archaeological sites, or districts. The City shall conduct periodic neighborhood surveys to identify and evaluate potential historic resources at least once every five years. STAFF COMMENT: The proposed designation meets the intent of the applicable Objective and Policies noted above, as it will provide for the preservation of the subject structure, thereby ensuring the protection of an example of this type of style and building. Further, the comments above illustrate that the request meets the criteria set forth in LDR Section 4.5.1 which provides for the designation of "historically significant buildings." Therefore, the proposed designation is appropriate and a recommendation of approval should be forwarded to the City Commission. The Public Hearing dates for review of the subject designation by the City Commission have been tentatively scheduled for September 20 and October 2, 2012. COURTESY/ PUBLIC NOTICES Public Notice letters were mailed to the property owners within a 500' radius of 1108 Vista Del Mar Drive North_ Courtesy Notices of the Public Hearing were sent to the Neighborhood Advisory Council, Delray Citizens Coalition, The Dorchester Condo Association, and the Beach Property Owners Association. Letters of support or objection, if any, will be presented at the HPB meeting. - Waters — Wellenbrink Residence" Designation; 2012 -2135 HPB Meeting September 5, 2012; Page 3 of 3 ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A, Continue with direction.
