MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Amy E. Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner
Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning
THROUGH: Douglas E. Smith, Interim City Manager
DATE: February 13, 2013
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 12.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF FEBRUARY 19, 2013
ORDINANCE NO. 03-13
Page 1 of 1
ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION
The item before the City Commission is that of approval to individually designate the property located
at 170 Marine Way, as "The Marina House ", for listing on the Local Register of Historic Places.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located at 170 Marine Way within the Marina Historic District on the northwest
corner of Marine Way and SE 2nd Street. The property contains a circa 1939 two- story, A- frame,
vernacular style structure that was relocated to the subject property from 806 NE 2nd Street. The
building was not altered since its original construction until it was relocated in 2012, at which time the
original front porch had to be removed. The designation report is attached.
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 (13)(3) due to its architectural or aesthetic
significance exemplified by the vernacular style. The subject architectural vernacular indicates
residential building trends at that time, such as its overall design, character and materials used, in
addition to the details which display a type of craftsmanship rarely seen or appropriately replicated in
new construction today.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) reviewed the designation at its meeting of February 6, 2013,
where a recommendation to approve was made to the City Commission.
RECOMMENDATION
Move approval on first reading of Ordinance No. 03 -13 to place the property located at 170 Marine
Way on the Local Register of Historic Places as "The Marina House ", by adopting the fmdings 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.
