As you may know, my family has BILL TALLEY owned and operated the Colony for 54 years. During that time,very few changes 206 543 5200 were made to the building or the landscape of the Colony. We intend to Past President continue to maintain and restore the Colony in an historically appropriate VAL BATEY manner. Minor historic rehabilitation of the exterior will occur before the 1990 206-684-1591 Colony season. Trustee TERRY GERRARD Fortunately, historic places are popular with the general public now. It is the 23 sincere hope of the Colony that renovation work undertaken by the City of Delray Secretary Beach will complement the historic character of all historic sites in Delray Beach. I JORI ADKINS 206-343-9301 enclose a copy of a letter addressed to John Walker, project manager of the Atlantic Avenue Streetscape Improvements, for your consideration and,l hope, Treasurer support. As I mentioned in our telephone conversation a few months ago, I am TOM 206-68LFORD 4 859 concerned that the location of some streetscape features will not enhance the historic main entrance to the Colony on Atlantic Avenue. I believe,with some Member-at-Large modifications,the streetscape will be an excellent complement to the Colony. Eastern Washington TAYLOR BRESSLER Please express your opinions about this matter in Delray and don't hesitate to 509-456-4381 call me if you have any questions.

In any case, I ask that the City of Delray Beach consider this request for minor 206 543 5200 adjustments in the location of the vertical streetscape features in front of The Past President Colony Hotel. VAL BATEY Congratulations are due the City of Delray Beach for the wisdom and guts to 206-684-1591 change the streetscape planting plan from oak trees to royal palms mid-block. Trustee Thanks to you and to Nancy Da Villa,who was my City contact,with requests for TERRY206 GE454-57RRAR23 palm trees in front of The Colony. Secretary The plans for the Atlantic Avenue Streetscape in front of the Colony Hotel could JORI ADKINS enhance both the appearance and the economic vitalityof the town of Delray 206-343-9301 pp Beach and of the Colony. The Colony is the longest and most elaborate building Treasurer adjacent to the street on Atlantic Avenue, It's size and importance call for T20 PUL684F 859 careful planning and design. As many historic buildings disappeared, the Colony has increasingly gained in popularity and prominence in Delray Beach. The Member-at-Largea Delray Beach Historical Society and the Preservation Board hold conferences, EaTA LOR BRESSYLER lunches, brunches, and meetings at the Hotel regularly. The Atlantic Avenue 509-456-4381 Colony facade is recognized in writing and illustration as very important in most recent Delray Beach planning efforts. It appears on the front cover of the City's Wes e n Washington Historic Survey and is one of few buildings featured in the Delray Beach Master CHUCARSINSKE K 285 4300 Plan Report. The south facade of the Colony represents a sense of history and a sense of place. The Colony is the only remaining historic hotel in Delray Beach. Associate-at-Large My family has been operating the Colony for over 54 years,and in fact, I grew up PHYLLIS 20098 in the cottage which stood just north of the Colony. Student Chapter The relationship of the mid-block trees and light poles to the Colony facade University of Washington VAL KIRSIS/PAUL LANDER concerns me and I ask for minor adjustments to their locations.The light poles are 206-543-9240 currently located off center of the Colony entrance, and the trees are not Student Chapter spaced in relation to the symmetry of the Mediterrean Revival style building. The Washington State University Streetscape of the City of Delray Beach could be greatly enhanced by allowing DEE 509-33 9 o the street trees and light poles to complement and reinforce the symmetry of the Colony entry. The new street light poles are spaced for efficient light coverage. I appreciate the extreme need for downtown illumination. It is possible to shift the light poles to complement the facade of the Colony without losing the security effect of the lighting. The current plan calls for a tree to be planted slightly west of the center of the Hotel's main entry. This will not only detract from the appearance of the symmetrical facade of the Colony, it will make the arrival of WASLA the hotel guests quite awkward and ungracious.The Colony regularly transports 1911 FIRST AVENUE SEATTLE,WA 98101 206-443-9484 lr� 1i1 T,, guests in the Colony van. The proposed tree will block access to the van and to • 4 guest cars as they arrive and depart. It appears from measuring the plans that a more desired relationship of WASHINGTON CHAPTER streetscape features to Colony facade can be achieved by movement of the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF western lightpole in front of the Colony15'to the east and movement of the LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS g eastern light pole in front of the Colony entry 11'to the east. The poles will then be located equal distances from the center of the Colony front doors. Mid-block trees can be relocated to accommodate the light poles shift. President This spring,the Colony planted 3 coconut palms on US 1. Other improvements JESTENA BOUG3HTON6 were made recently to the Colony exterior; new paint, new plantings in front and on the north side. Colony construction plans continue for new storefront signs, President Elect canvas awnings and window improvements on the Colony east side. All these 2066-543 52w improvements can be complemented by granting this request for adjustments to the streetscape plan. The City encourages the improvement of the existing Past President businesses in downtown. The Colony supports the streetscape improvements in 206--6684 A591 word and in action. Please let the City's actions enhance the Colony. Atlantic Avenue is as important to The Colony as The Colony is to Atlantic Avenue. Trustee TERRY GERRARD 206-454-5723 I understand that individual requests for plan modifications could drive you crazy and I do not ask this without knowledge of what is involved in the request. I am a Secretary licensed landscape architect in Washington, my current residence. My JORI ADKINS 206-343-9301 experience in municipal projects includes five years of employment with the City of Seattle working on many urban design projects similar to the Atlantic Treasurer Avenue Streetscape. TOM PULFORD 206-684-4859 Copies of this letter are sent to some Delray Beach neighbors who have Member-at-Largn expressed to me an aesthetic interest in the Colonyand the Atlantic Avenue Eastern Washington p TAYLOR BRESSLER Streetscape in the hope that they will support this request.Thank you for your 5094564381 attention and careful consideration.

Designation of properties to the Local Register of Historic Places is authorized in Section 4 .5 . 1 of the Land Development Regulations . BACKGROUND: The Historic Preservation Board nominated the Colony Hotel for designation to the Local Register of Historic Places at their meeting of June 27, 1990 . The Board subsequently authorized Clemmer Mayhew to prepare the designation report (copy attached) . At the Historic Preservation Board meeting of September 19, 1990 the designation report for the Colony Hotel was accepted and staff was directed to schedule a public hearing and notice said meeting as required by the Land Development Regulations. At their meeting of January 16, 1991, the Historic Preservation Board held a duly noticed public hearing on the designation of the Colony Hotel (525 E. Atlantic Avenue) . Rita McDowell, Manager of the Hotel spoke for the owner Jestina Boughton and requested that the Board only designate the buildings on the site, not the parking areas, practice putting green, etc. Frank Spence spoke for the Community Redevelopment Agency and Downtown Development Authority both of which supported the designation. HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD CONSIDERATION: The Historic Preservation Board recommends approval of the designation of the Colony Hotel and the annex to the north. The designation is recommended for these two buildings only, excluding parking lots, practice putting green, etc. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By motion, direct the City Attorney to prepare a designation ordinance for first reading. Attachment: Designation Report PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: J STANLEY WEEDON P NER III FROM: •_vID J. KOVACS, DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING DATE: JANUARY 28 , 1991 SUBJECT: HISTORIC DESIGNATION FOR "THE COLONY" HOTEL The information provided regarding the Historic Preservation Board' s action on this item shows that the designation is for the main building and the annex only. There is a specific exclusion of the parking lot and other grounds. Clarification is needed prior to the drafting of the enacting ordinance. Please respond to the following: 1 . Is it the intent of the Board that the designation applies only to the buildings themselves and, thus , only modifications to the exterior of the structures would go before the Board ( including demolition, of course) ? 2. Or, does the Board intend that site plan modifications (changes in parking lot design, additional landscaping, accessory structures , etc - including a major site plan modification) would be acted upon by them as opposed to the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board and Board of Adjustment? As previously reported, the ordinance would be drafted to only accommodate architectural review of the existing structures by the Historic Preservation Board. Please contact the Chairperson and/or the Board for clarification.

If itcing is included the cost of future exterior repairs e. . re replybe ng wooden garage doors to original condition might prove economic hardship. Ms . Boughton has documentation to show that the annex was not originally part of the hotel and was constructed after her father purchased the property in 1934 . The annex is used for storage and thfor e roliving quarters for the staff who come down each yearfrom rth. The annex has no visual impact on Atlantic Avenue.

Boughton, With the completion of the restoration of the 1913 building at Old School Square Cultural Arts Center and the progress that is daily evident at the two 1926 buildings in the complex, preservation is truly happening along Atlantic Avenue. Two buildings directly across Atlantic Avenue from Old School Square, have been purchased and restored and house an antique store and auction gallery. The Art Moderne Boyd Building at 840 East Atlantic Avenue has had a complete facade renovation, including restoration of original plaster details, painting and awnings . The Historic Preservation Board felt that it was timely to propose the Colony Hotel, the Arcade Building and the Flamingo Service Station for listing on the Local Register of Historic Places . Designation Reports have been completed for the three properties . I am enclosing all three for your information. A public hearing will be held on Wednesday, January 16, 1991 for the purpose of gaining public comment on the designations . The Historic Preservation Board will then vote to recommend the nomination to the City Commission. And as you know, only the City Commission has the authority to place a property on the Local Register. It is not necessary for you to be present at the public hearing and any comment you wish to make in writing will be read into the record. The Colony, of course, is the crown jewel of Atlantic Avenue and it is hoped that you will support this preservation effort along the avenue.
