BACKGROUND
The item before the City Commission is approval of a tax exemption request for improvements to the
property located at 42 Palm Square, a contributing property within the Marina Historic District.
The subject property is located on the west side of Palm Square within the Marina Historic District. The
property is zoned RM (Medium Density Residential) and contains a circa 1938 one-story, Minimal
Traditional style single-family residence and detached single-car garage.
In 2014, the Historic Preservation Board approved a COA for minor additions and alterations to the
residence consisting of a rear addition (155 square feet) to accommodate additional living area with the
original shiplap siding replicated on the exterior, rear patio, and the installation of a decorative metal
roof tile. The attachments in this report include a description of work, elevations, and photographs of
the structure before and after the completed project.
The improvements, both interior and exterior, are complete, and a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) was
issued on December 19, 2014. The applicant is now applying for tax exemption status for those
improvements.
The HPB considered the tax exemption request at their March 18, 2015 meeting and recommended
approval of the Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Application. The tax exemption will apply only to the
difference in assessed value after the eligible property improvements.
The applicant is now before the City Commission for final approval of the exemption request. If
approved, the request will be forwarded to the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office and the
Palm Beach County Planning and Zoning Department for recordation and final appraisal of the
improvements. Additional background and an analysis of the request are provided in the attached HPB
Memorandum Staff Report.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT
Applicant: Claudia Willis
Property Address: 42 Palm Square, Marina Historic District
HPB Meeting Date: March 18, 2015 File No.: 2015-085
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The action requested of the Board is to approve a Historic Property Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
Application for improvements to a contributing structure located at 42 Palm Square, Marina Historic
District, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.5.1(J).
BACKGROUNDIPROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located on the west side of Palm Square within the Marina Historic District. The
property is zoned RM (Medium Density Residential) and contains a circa 1938 one-story, Minimal
Traditional style single-family residence and detached single-car garage.
At its meeting of June 4, 2014, the Historic Preservation Board approved a COA for minor additions and
alterations to the residence consisting of a rear addition (155 square feet) to accommodate additional
living area with the original shiplap siding replicated on the exterior, rear patio, and the installation of a
decorative metal roof tile. The attachments in this report include a description of work, elevations, and
photographs of the structure before and after the completed project.
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 has been completed.
AD VALOREM TAX EXEMPTION

certified copy of the recorded covenant to be delivered to the City's Historic Preservation
Planner. Such covenant shall be binding on the current property owner, transferees, and their
heirs, assigns and successors. A violation of the covenant shall result in the property owner

interest to the property, fails to maintain the property according to the terms, conditions and
standards of the Historic Preservation Exemption Covenant.

property and the Historic Preservation Board shall hold a revocation hearing in the same
manner as in Section 4.5.1(M)(10), and make a recommendation to the City Commission.

have to comply with the consequences.

East view-pre and post renovation.The East view was only affected by the new roofing material which
is metal shingles.
Page 2
West view-pre and post renovation.The roof line was extended to accommodate a 5'6" addition across
the back of the home.The level of the existing rear roof(a former enclosed porch by previous owner
date unknown)was raised to match the existing level of the original house.The openings were relocated
in the new wall and replaced with hurricane proof window and door.The new rear wall is cypress siding
milled to correspond with the existing.
Page 3
North view-pre and post renovation. An existing roof overhang (there was an orchid-lath building
attached by prior owner)was removed and the kitchen window was replaced by the size of the original
frame as former owner had filled in the frame partially when they installed metal awnings.The new
window is metal and hurricane proof and trimmed by the original cypress and shutters to keep the
window shutters uniform on the north side.Also the roofline was raised on the west potion to
accommodate the raised floor level which can be seen slightly from the north side.
Page 4
South view-pre and post renovation.The only change visible for the south side is the 5'6"addition on
the very rear of the Douse.This view is partially obscured by the garage.
Page 5
West interior kitchen view- pre and post renovation.The kitchen was totally gutted,the wall separating
the kitchen and dining area removed,the ceiling raised,the north window replaced with original size
and the floor level raised to match existing house.The metal awning windows in the west exterior wall
were replaced with hurricane glass windows and the door was relocated to the south side of the room
where the laundry area was also moved.
Page 6
East interior kitchen view-pre and post renovation.The cypress paneling was saved during the demo
and used to make all the trim and molding and false beams in the new addition.The sink was relocated
to the north wall which was the original location before prior owner moved it to the interior south wall.
