The action requested of the City Commission is approval of the tax exemption request for
improvements to the structure located at 118 }'2 SE 7th Avenue within the Marina Historic
District. The property is part of a larger site at 118-122 }'2 Avenue located on Lots 5 and 6,
Block 118, Town of Delray, on the west side of SE 7th Avenue, south of SE 1st Street. The
property contains four contributing frame buildings and one non-contributing frame building.
The contributing dwellings were constructed c. 1935 and the contemporary dwelling (located at
122}'2 SE 7th Avenue) was constructed in 1989.
On July 21, 2004, the HPB approved a list of improvements which were eligible for the tax
abatement consisting of the following site improvements:
· Demolition of the contributing cottage and adjacent concrete pathway;
· Construction of a 605 sq. ft., one-story block addition to be located between the 226 sq.
ft. contributing, frame accessory structure and the 508 sq. ft. contributing, frame cottage

· Exterior improvements to the building including in-kind cosmetic repairs.
At its meeting of October 19, 2005, the Board approved the Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
Application Part 1 (2006-015-COA). The applicant has completed the improvements and is now
ready to finalize the tax abatement request. The tax exemption request will apply to the
difference in assessed value of the property after the improvement. The Historic Preservation
Board recommended approval of this tax exemption request at its meeting of August 2, 2006.
The applicant is now before the City Commission for final approval of the request. Upon
approval, 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 staff report.
