HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT
Applicant: Carolyn and Price Patton
Property Address: 65 Palm Square, Marina Historic District
HPB Meeting Date: November 20, 2013 File No.: 2014 -020
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The action requested of the Board is to approve a Historic Property Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
Application for improvements on an individually designated property located at 65 Palm Square,
Marina Historic District, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.5.1(J).
BACKGROUNDIPROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property measures approximately 8,686 square feet and consists of Lots D and E, Riker
Square Subdivision. Situated on the east side of Palm Square between East Atlantic Avenue and SE 1 St
Street, the property is located within the Marina Historic District and is zoned RM (Multi - Family
Residential, Medium Density). The original, circa 1940, Minimal Traditional style, single family
residence is classified as contributing to the historic district; alterations and additions occurred on the
structure in 1951.
At its meeting of December 7, 2011, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) approved a Certificate of
Appropriateness (COA) associated additions and alterations to the historic structure, as well associated
site improvements.
The two bedroom, two bathroom residence was expanded to include an additional bedroom and one
and a half bathrooms. A gabled, second story addition above the north "wing" provides one of the
additional bedrooms and full bathroom, while a smaller addition to the south elevation provides an
additional bathroom and closet space to the existing modest master bedroom. A second story porch
overlooks the backyard on the south elevation. A wood trellis is attached to the north side of the historic
structure to provide covered parking for one vehicle. The original front porch was opened up and
restored.
The existing window openings and window types and configurations were maintained on the original
historic house. All new windows primarily consist of 616 (same as historic structure), 4 light fixed
windows, or a triple sash window with each section containing 4 lights. An exception to the aforenoted
new windows is the two 4 light porthole windows on the new construction at the south side of the
property. Louvered shutters were added to all windows on the new construction.
The asphalt shingle roof material was installed on the new construction.
Five associated variances were requested which included decreasing the south, north, and east
setback requirements, permitting a required parking space to be within the front yard setback, and
installing a swimming pool within 10' of the rear property line.
The applicant is now before the Board to request review of the Tax Exemption Application for the
aforenoted site and building improvements. Landscaping associated with this project is not permitted as
a legitimate expenditure as it is not interpreted as a "site improvement," pursuant to the Florida
Administrative Code 1A -38.

Based on State regulations, an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption can be approved for a project before,
during, or after it has been undertaken. The applicant therefore requests consideration of the ad
valorem tax exemption as the project is complete,
