POSTED ON: March 14, 2002
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The action before the Board is that of approval of a COA which incorporates the
following aspects of the development proposal for the Cason Cottage Property,
pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(1)(c):
❑ Class III Site Plan Modification; and
❑ Landscape plan.
The subject property is located on the northeast corner of N. Swinton Avenue and NE
1st Street.
BACKGROUND
Located in the Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD) zoning district, the
subject property consists of the south 32' of lot 5, and lots 6-8, block 67, Town of Delray
plat. The property contains a 1,507.3 sq. ft. frame building, the Cason Cottage
Museum, along with a nine space asphalt parking lot, 34 stabilized sod parking spaces,
and two bus parking spaces. In 1988, the HPB approved a COA for the conversion of
the 1915 cottage to a museum. In 1992, the HPB approved a site plan modification for
the construction of the parking that exists on the property.
The Delray Beach Historical Society is in need of office space and is currently renting
the first floor of the Judge Knott Center. After consideration, and based on the advice of
a house museum consultant, they proposed the relocation of an historic building to the
corner of N. Swinton Avenue and N.E. 1st Street just to the west of Cason Cottage,
facing NE 1st Street. The lot is 131' deep and Cason Cottage is located on the eastern
portion of the property allowing sufficient room to house an additional structure. Due to
the fact that the City owns the property, it was necessary for the City Commission to
approve locating an additional building on the site. During the meeting of November 3,
1998, the HPB recommended to the City Commission for the relocation of an historic
building onto the southwestern portion of the lot shared by the Cason Cottage.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION .
The development proposal entails the following:
❑ Relocation of the 1,209.3 sq. ft 1925 Bungalow style building (currently known as the
Lavender Shutters building) from its current location at 122 SE Sixth Avenue to the
subject property;
o Conversion of four stabilized sod parking spaces to asphalt;
o Modifications to the existing asphalt parking area involving relocation of the
handicapped accessible spaces and elimination of three standard spaces; and,
❑ Installation of paver brick walkways and landscaping.

SITE PLAN MODIFICATION ANALYSIS
COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS:
Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be
addressed by the body taking final action on the site and development
application/request.
LDR Section 4.3.4(K) Development Standards Matrix:
The following table indicates that the proposal complies with LDR Section 4.3.4(K) as it
pertains to the OSSHAD zone district:
Required Provided
Building Height (max.) 35' 17'
Building Setbacks (min.) - Front 25' 25'
Side (Interior) 7.5' 58'4"
Side (Street) 15' 67'9"
Rear 10' 161'7"
Open Space 25% 59.99%
Parking:
LDR Chapter 4.4.24 (OSSHAD-Special District Regulation):
Pursuant to LDR 4.4.24 (G)(4)(a) all non-residential uses, with the exception of
restaurants, shall provide one parking space per 300 sq. ft. of total new or existing floor
area being converted to non-residential use.
The relocated 1,209.3 sq. ft building in conjunction with the existing 1,570.3 sq.ft Cason
Cottage (2,779.6 sq.ft. total) require a total of 10 parking spaces. The required parking
will be provided in the 6-space asphalt parking lot and by converting 4 stabilized sod
parking spaces (previously excess spaces) to asphalt.
LDR Chapter 4.6 Supplementary District Regulations:
LDR section 4.6.8 (Site Lighting):
Site lighting in compliance with Section 4.6.8 currently exists on the property. Any
additional lighting can be administratively approved.
Bike Rack:
Pursuant to LDR 4.6.9(C)(1)(c)(3), bicycle parking facilities shall be provided at any
non-residential use within the City's TCEA (Transportation Concurrency Exception
Area) which, though the development review process, is determined to generate a
HPB Staff Report
Cason Cottage -Class Ill Site Plan Modification and Landscape Plan
Page 3
demand. In addition, Transportation Element Policy D-2.2 of the City's Comprehensive
Plan requires bicycle facilities on all new development and redevelopment with
particular emphasis on development within the TCEA. As the project is a public facility
in the TCEA, it is appropriate to provide a bike rack, which has been attached as a
condition of approval.
Sidewalks:
Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.3(B)(1), a 5'-10' wide sidewalk is required within the rights-
of-way adjacent to the property. A 5' wide sidewalk currently exists along both NE 1st
Street and North Swinton Avenue. An undulating brick paver walkway will be
constructed in between the two buildings and will meander throughout the property in
front of the structures and connect to the pubic sidewalk system.
LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS
The proposed landscape plan incorporates the landscaping that exists on the site. The
trees consist of a combination of Paurotis Palms, Royal Poincianas, Live Oaks, Pigeon
Plum, Dahoon Holly, Hong Kong Orchid, Pigmy Date Palms, Triple Alexander, Cabbage
palm, Pink Trumpet Tree, and Florida Hatch Palms interspersed throughout the property
with existing Coconut Palms.
Foundation plantings adjacent to the extant cottage will consist of Variegated Ginger,
Coontie, Xanadu, African Iris, Foxtail Fern, Gold Dust Crotons, Firebush, and assorted
annuals.
Underplantings adjacent to the relocated structure will consist of Parsons Juniper,
Thryallis, Wart Fern, Plumbago, Ruellia, Xanadu, Gold Dust Crotons, Ilex Shillings and
Coontie. A Cocoplum hedge will be planted along the west side of the paved parking
area and south side of the sod parking area, in addition to the existing hedge on the
west side of the parking area. The landscaping complies with the requirements of LDR
Section 4.6.16.
DESIGN ELEMENTS
The site plan submission did not include plans for any exterior alterations or color
changes for the structure. Once plans are submitted, they will be scheduled for the next
available Board meeting, if the Board's review is necessary.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(1)(c)(Class III Site Plan Modification), a
modification to a site plan which represents either a change in intensity of use, or
which affects the spatial relationship among improvements on the land, requires
partial review of Performance Standards found in LDR Sections 3.1.1 and 3.2.3, as
well as required findings of LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(5).
LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(5) (Findings)
HPB Staff Report
Cason Cottage -Class Ill Site Plan Modification and Landscape Plan
Page 4
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(5), a finding that the proposed changes do not
significantly affect the originally approved plan must be made concurrent with
approval of a Class HI modification.
With the previous site plan modification approval, positive findings were made with
respect to Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan Consistency,
Concurrency and Compliance with the Land Development Regulations. The
development proposal involves the relocation/addition of a 1,209.3 sq.ft. commercial
structure as well as the installation of associated landscaping, walkways, and parking lot
modifications. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(5), this minor modification does not
significantly impact the previous findings. However, the applicable Future Land Use
Map and Concurrency items as they relate to this development proposal are discussed
below.
Section 3.1.1(A) - Future Land Use Map:
The subject property has an OME (Other Mixed Use) Future Land Use Map designation
and is zoned OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District). The OSSHAD zoning
district is consistent with the OMU FLUM designation. Pursuant to the LDR Sections
4.4.24(B)(2) and (5), within the OSSHAD zone district, office and museum uses are
permitted. Based upon the above, a positive finding can be made with respect to
consistency with the Future Land Use Map designation.
Section 3.1.1 (B) - Concurrency
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1(B) Concurrency as defined pursuant to Objective B-2 of
the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan must be met and a
determination made that the public facility needs of the requested land use and/or
development application will not exceed the ability of the City to fund and
provide, or to require the provision of, needed capital improvements.
The proposed improvements will not have an impact on water and sewer demands, nor
drainage. The commercial addition will not create a need or impact on the Parks and
Recreation Facilities level of service standard. Concurrency findings as they relate to
Streets and Traffic, and Solid Waste are discussed below.
Streets and Traffic:
The subject property is located within the TCEA (Traffic Concurrency Exception Area),
which encompasses the CBD (Central Business District), OSSHAD (Old School Square
Historic Arts District) and the West Atlantic Avenue Business Corridor. The TCEA
exempts the above described areas from complying with the Palm Beach County Traffic
Performance Standards Ordinance. The traffic analysis prepared for the approval of the
addition indicated that the net increase of 1,209.3 sq.ft. will generate 29 new vehicular
trips per day onto the surrounding roadway network. The traffic generated will not have
an adverse impact on this level of service standard. Based upon the above, a positive
finding with respect to traffic concurrency can be made.
Solid Waste:
HPB Staff Report
Cason Cottage - Class III Site Plan Modification and Landscape Plan
Page 5
The proposal calls for construction of a 1,209.3 sq. ft. building addition. Trash
generated each year by the proposed addition will be 3.3 tons of solid waste per year
[1,209.3 sq. ft. x 5.4 lbs. = 6,530 lbs/2,000 = 3.3 tons]. The Solid Waste Authority
indicates in its annual report that the established level of service standards for solid
waste will be met for all developments until 2021. Therefore, a positive finding can be
made to this Level of Service standard.
Section 3.1.1 (D) - Compliance With the Land Development Regulations:
As described under the Site Plan Modification Analysis of this report, a positive finding
of compliance with the LDRs can be made, provided the conditions of approval are
addressed.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
Community Redevelopment Agency:
The plan was reviewed but he CRA at its meeting on February 14, 2002. There were no
objections to the project.
Courtesy Notices:
Courtesy Notices have been provided to PROD (Progressive Resident's of Delray) and
the Presidents Council. Any letters of objection or support will be provided at the Board
meeting.
ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION
The development proposal involves the relocation of the Lavender Shutters building
currently located at 122 SE Sixth Avenue. Additionally, the project consists of the
conversion of the contributing historic structure from retail to office use for the Delray
Beach Historical Society and includes an extensive landscape plan for the entire
property. The proposal will be consistent with LDR Section 3.1.1 and Section
2.4.5(G)(5) of the Land Development Regulations and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan provided the condition of approval is addressed. The proposal provides for the
relocation and preservation of a well-maintained contributing structure.

SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS:
Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be addressed
by the body taking final action on the site and development application/request.
LDR Section 4.3.4(K) Development Standards Matrix:
The following table indicates that the proposal complies with LDR Section 4.3.4(K) as it
pertains to the OSSHAD zone district:
Required Provided
Building Height (max.) 35' 11'
Building Setbacks (min.) - Front 25' 29'
Side (Interior) 7.5' 6.9'*
Side (Street) 15' 23.5'
Rear 10' 53.5'
Open Space 25% 46%
* Existing non-conforming structure subject to provisions of LDR Section 1.3.4.
Parking:
LDR Section 4.4.24 (OSSHAD-Special District Regulation):
Pursuant to LDR 4.4.24(G)(4)(a) all non-residential uses, with the exception of restaurants,
shall provide one parking space per 300 sq. ft. of total new or existing floor area being
converted to non-residential use. Pursuant to LDR 4.4.24(G)(4)(b), states that restaurants
shall provide six spaces per one thousand square feet of total new or existing floor area
being converted to restaurant use.
Parking is located at the rear of the property, behind the existing structures. The applicant
proposes retail, office and restaurant use for the project. Building A (1,541 sq. ft), Building
B (1,142 sq. ft.), and Building D (870 sq.ft.) will contain either office or retail use and total
3,553 sq. ft. Building C will contain a total of 1,449 sq. ft, thus a total of 21 spaces are
required and 21 have been provided.
With this development proposal outdoor dining is not proposed. Outdoor dining is only
allowed in the OSSHAD zoning district as a conditional use. In addition, the provision of
HPB Staff Report
Fischer Properties-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements
Page 3
outdoor dining would require a site plan modification, at which time the parking requirement
will be assessed. If outdoor dining is proposed in the future, it must be approved through
the conditional use and site plan modification processes.
LDR Chapter 4.6 Supplementary District Regulations:
Stacking Requirements:
Pursuant to LDR, Section 4.6.9(D)(3)(c)(1), the minimum stacking distance requirement for
parking lots, between 21 and 50 spaces is 20'. A stacking distance of 20' is provided at the
SE 1st Street entrance.
Bike Rack:
Pursuant to LDR 4.6.9(C)(1)(c)(3), bicycle parking facilities shall be provided at any non-
residential use within the City's TCEA (Transportation Concurrency Exception Area) which,
through the development review process, is determined to generate a demand. In addition,
Transportation Element Policy D-2.2 of the City's Comprehensive Plan requires bicycle
facilities on all new development and redevelopment with particular emphasis on
development within the TCEA. Provision of a bike rack is appropriate for this development
and has been attached as a condition of approval.
Site Lighting:
Pursuant to LDR 4.6.8 (Lighting), site lighting is required on site for new development
proposals. A photometric plan has been submitted to ensure that requirements are met as
outlined in LDR Section 4.6.8. Site lighting locations have been provided on the site plan,
however they have not been provided on the landscape and engineering plans, and fixture
details have not been provided. Lighting locations must be indicated on the landscape and
engineering plans, and fixture details provided, which is a condition of approval.
Underground Utilities:
Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.8, utility facilities serving the development shall be located
underground throughout the development. The proposed site plan indicates overhead
utilities services will be provided to the relocated meter. The site plan must be revised to
show the relocation of the utilities underground, and is attached as a condition of approval.
Sidewalks:
Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.3(B)(1), a 5'-10' wide sidewalk is required within the rights-of-
way adjacent to the property. An existing 5' sidewalk currently exists along both SE 1st
Street and South Swinton Avenue. An undulating brick paver and mulch walkway will be
constructed throughout the property in front of the structures (west of the structures along
South Swinton Avenue) and between each building leading to the parking area. The mulch
paths, adjacent to Buildings B & C, will need to be replaced with pavers in order to comply
with handicapped accessibility requirements, which is attached as a condition of approval.

Page 4
Refuse Container Area:
All refuse containers will have decorative wood fences and gates. No landscaping has been
proposed to screen the refuse enclosures.
RELATED ITEMS
Declaration of Unity of Title:
The development proposal includes improvements across property lines (Lots 11-15, Block
69). As the properties will be under one ownership and function as one development, it is
appropriate to combine the properties through a Declaration of Unity of Title, which must be
recorded prior to issuance of a building permit. The City must be a party to any dissolution
of this Unity of Title. This provision has been attached as a condition of approval.
Technical Items: The following Technical Items must be addressed with the submittal of
revised plans prior to building permit submittal:
1) Indicate the setback dimensions for each building from the closest property line.
2) Engineering and landscape plans are inconsistent with the site plan. Revise accordingly.
All plans must be consistent with one another.
3) The note indicating that landscape islands will be provided by the City must be changed
to developer and the islands must be extended so that they are continuous.
4) The floor plan for Building A does not correspond with the footprint on the site plan. The
new stairs and landing indicated in the floor plan will encroach into the parking area.
The stairs and landing should be relocated or removed to eliminate the encroachment.
5) The site pan must reflect the porch locations and roof projections;
6) The floor plan for Building D indicates that the setback of the rear porch on the north
property line will correspond with the building; however, the site plan does not reflect
this. Revise accordingly.
LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS
The proposed landscape plan consists of extensive plantings on the site similar to the
landscape plan at the adjacent properties including the Sundy Inn and the proposed Sundy
Harvest site. The plan includes a combination of Beauty Leaf, Live Oaks, Royal Poincianas,
Gumbo Limbos, Pink and Yellow Tabebuias, and Carpentaria Palms interspersed
throughout the property with giant evergreen liriopes, variegated shell ginger, clerodendron
quadriloculare, giant bird of paradise, viburnam awabuki, and cardboard palms
underplantings and coco plum hedges along the eastern perimeter of the parking area. The
proposed landscaping complies with the requirements of LDR Section 4.6.16.
HPB Staff Report
Fischer Properties-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements
Page 5
Refuse Container Area:
The proposal includes the installation of an individual trash/refuse container area adjacent
to each extant structure. The plans indicate that the dumpsters will be enclosed by a wood
screen fence and gate for access. Buildings A-C (lot 12-15) will place the refuse containers
on the north elevation. Building D (lot 11) will locate the enclosure on the east elevation.
DEMOLITION FINDINGS
Demolition (outbuildings)
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(F)(1), The HPB shall consider the following guidelines in
evaluating applications for a COA for demolition of historic buildings;
(a) Whether the structure is of such interest or quality that it would reasonably fulfill the
criteria for designation for listing in the National Register.
(b) Whether the structure is of such design, craftsmanship, or material that it could be
reproduced only with great difficulty or economically nonviable expense.
(c) Whether the structure is one of the last remaining examples of its kind in the
designated historic district within the city.
(d) Whether retaining the structure would promote the general welfare of the city by
providing an opportunity to study local history, architecture, and design, or by developing
an understanding of the importance and value of a particular culture and heritage.
(e) Whether there are definite plans for immediate reuse of the property if the proposed
demolition is carried out, and what effect those plans will have on the character of the
surrounding area.
The two outbuildings slated for demolition include a shed that lies behind 31 South Swinton
Avenue (Building C) and a garage that lies adjacent to 41 South Swinton Avenue (Building
A). The gable shed is a one bay structure with novelty siding and an asphalt shingle roof
fenestration consists of a multi-paneled door and wood awning windows. The building does
appear structurally sound however, it does not appear to be contributing as it holds little
architectural or historical integrity.
The second outbuilding is a one bay garage located just behind and to the north of 41
South Swinton Avenue. The frame building is reflective of the style of the main residence,
with its shiplap siding and wood 1/1 SHS window and is considered a contributing structure.
Despite its contributing status, the gabled structure displays little architectural detail and is
structurally unsound.
The immediate demolition of the contributing (garage) and non-contributing (shed)
structures will not be detrimental to the contributing status of the district. Both structures
may be demolished without altering the historical or architectural context of the mail
dwellings within the neighborhood.

DESIGN ELEMENTS
Residential Conversion to Commercial:
The proposal includes conversion of four contributing residential structures to office/retail
and restaurant use. The frame vernacular structures are approximately
1,354 sq. ft. (proposed Building D), 855 sq. ft. (proposed Building C), 1,294 sq. ft.
(proposed Building B) and 870 sq. ft for a total of 5,149 sq. ft. (proposed Building A) and
are located on lots 11-15, Block 69. The structures will be rehabilitated including the
installation of new fenestration if needed. Two non-contributing shed structure at the rear
(east) of the properties will be demolished in order to provide room for the required parking
area.
27 South Swinton Avenue (lot 11, proposed Building D)
Constructed in 1937, the clapboard clad house displays a cross gable roof with shed roof
porch with 6/1 SHS windows and open porch on the west elevation. A carport is located on
the northwest corner with decorative brick supports. Decorative scalloped vertical siding
highlights the gables and carport entrance. The original fenestration pattern will remain.
The brick carport columns should remain and should not be stuccoed over to retain the
historic fabric original from the structure. A copper shingle roof is proposed to replace the
existing asphalt shingle roof. Design elements including the details for the windows will be
brought before the Board at a later date.
In addition, the copper roof should be replaced with a more suitable material in order to
maintain consistency with the historic character of the neighborhood. The previous
provisions have been added as conditions of approval.
31 South Swinton Avenue (lot 12, proposed Building C)
The extant historic dwelling, built in 1937, consists of a clapboard exterior, gable roof with
cross gable extension at the entrance and a flat deck roof addition on the back. The roof
consists of asphalt shingles. While the structure contains both jalousie and awning
windows, the original fenestration pattern remains. Decorative scalloped siding defines the
gable and carport entrances.
The proposed rehabilitation consists of the enclosure of the carport (located on the
northwest side of the structure) with stucco infill at the base and side. The decorative porch
posts and scalloped siding will remain. Matching clapboard siding and decorative shutters
to cover the new windows are also proposed to complete the enclosure. Standing seam
copper roofs are proposed to replace the existing asphalt shingles. Design elements
including the details for the windows will be brought before the Board at a later date.
35 South Swinton Avenue (lot 13, proposed Building B)
Constructed in 1937, the extant single family dwelling consists of a side facing gable roof
with asphalt shingles. A vertical and horizontal board and batten clad addition lies on the
southwestern corner of the original façade. A centered brick chimney distends from the
easternmost gable. The fenestration has been altered with the addition, an apparent
. HPB Staff Report

Page 7
carport enclosure, that includes modern awning windows rather than the 6/6 SHS windows
that are apparent on the remainder of the structure. The modern windows will be replaced
with new 6/6 SHS windows to match the existing original windows.
The proposed rehabilitation consists of the addition of shiplap siding to compliment the
exterior of the original structure with the introduction of 6/6 SHS windows to replace the
modern awning windows installed during the enclosure. The windows should be replaced
in-kind with wood frames and a similar muntin profile to compliment the original windows
and to distinguish the new construction from the original. A porch enclosure is proposed for
additional office space. Copper shingles are proposed to replace the existing asphalt
shingles. As this material was not prevalent in the area, a more suitable complimentary
material for the roof should be introduced such as metal shingles or standing seam metal.
This provision has been added as a condition of approval. Other design elements including
the details for the windows will be brought before the Board at a later date.
43 South Swinton Avenue (lots 14 & 15, proposed Building A)
The proposed rehabilitation consists of the addition of shiplap siding to compliment the
exterior of the original structure with the introduction of 6/6 SHS windows to replace the
modern awning windows installed during the enclosure. The windows should be replaced
in-kind with wood frames and a similar muntin profile to compliment the original windows
and to distinguish the new construction from the original. Copper shingles are proposed to
replace the existing asphalt shingles. As this material was not prevalent in the area, a more
suitable complimentary material for the roof should be introduced such as metal shingles or
standing seam metal. This provision has been added as a condition of approval. Other
design elements including the details for the windows will be brought before the Board at a

The proposed rehabilitation consists of the enclosure of the carport (located on the
northwest side of the structure) with stucco infill at the base and side. The decorative porch
posts and scrollwork will remain. Matching clapboard siding will complete the enclosure.
Design elements including the details for the windows will be brought before the Board at a
later date.
Design Elements
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1 (E)(8), (E)(8)(d), (E)(g) and (E)(4), "Development
Standards" provides guidelines in evaluating alterations or additions of exterior architectural
features. The guidelines are as follows:
a) All improvement to buildings, structures, and appurtenances within a designated
historic district shall be visually compatible. Visual compatibility can include but is not
limited to: consistency in relation to materials, texture, and color of the façade of a
building in association with the predominant material used in surrounding historic sites
and structures within the historic district.
. HPB Staff Report
Fischer Properties- Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements
Page 8
b) The relationship of solids to voids in the front façade of a building or structure will be
visually compatible with the front facade of historic buildings or structures within the
district.
c) A historic site, or building, structure, site, improvement, or appurtenance within a
historic district shall be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished,
or otherwise changed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation, as amended from time to time.
The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation states that:
1) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy
historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated
from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural
features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.
2) New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such
a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic
property and its environment would be not be impaired.
The proposed rehabilitation includes the enclosure of two existing carports. To ensure that
the original architectural elements and floor plans are not disturbed, the elements including
turned posts and scrollwork in the carport should be incorporated into the design of the
enclosure and should be readily viewed from the front facade. Historic materials should
neither be damaged nor destroyed in order to utilize the carport area for interior floor space.
This provision is attached as a condition of approval.
In addition, a variation of roofing materials should be proposed for this site. Copper roofs
(such as those found on the Sundy Inn, the Rectory, the proposed Sundy Harvest
development, and several other adjacent development projects) were not prevalent in this
area and should be used sparingly. As the surrounding properties already display copper
roofs (standing seam or shingles) alternate materials should be sought out such as
standing seam metal or wood shakes to ensure the continuity of the single family home
environment. This recommendation is attached as a condition of approval.
Regarding the proposed paint colors, it is recommended to vary the choice of colors
between Buildings A-C to ensure that a variety of colors and schemes are used for the body
and trim of the structures. This recommendation again is to ensure the continuity of the
single family home environment that is prevalent along South and North Swinton. This is
attached as a condition of approval.
The exterior board and batten clad addition should be reconfigured to improve upon the
insensitive design of the carport enclosure. Siding was placed in two directions both
horizontal and vertical confusing the eye and muddling the flow of the front façade. The
building's fabric should be altered to reflect just one direction of the board and batten siding
or clapboards and to ensure that there remains a differentiation between the enclosure and
the original structure. The replacement of the modern awning windows and the
reconfiguration of the siding would compliment the existing fabric and aid in the retention of
the architectural integrity of the structure.
HPB Staff Report
Fischer Properties-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements

Refuse Container Area:
The proposal includes the installation of an individual trash/refuse container area adjacent
to each extant structure. The plans indicate that the roll-out carts will be enclosed by a
wood screen fence and gate for access. Buildings A-C (lot 12-15) will place the refuse
containers on the north elevation. Building D (lot 11) will locate the enclosure on the east
elevation.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the approval of development
applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official
record. This may be achieved through information on the application, written
materials submitted by the applicant, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be
made by the body, which has the authority to approve or deny the development
application. These findings relate to consistency with the Future Land Use Map,
Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan Consistency, and Compliance with the Land
Development Regulations.
Section 3.1.1(A) - Future Land Use Map:
The subject property has a Future Land Use Map designation of Other Mixed Use (OMU)
and a zoning designation of Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD). The
OSSHAD zoning district is consistent with the OMU Future Land Use Map designation.
Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.24(B)(2), (3), and (6) within the OSSHAD zoning district,
business and professional Offices, specialty shops, and restaurants are listed as permitted
uses. Based upon the above, it is appropriate to make a positive finding with respect to
LDR Section 3.1.1(A), Future Land Use Map Consistency.
Section 3.1.1(B) - Concurrency:
As described in Appendix A, a positive finding of concurrency can be made as it relates to
water, sewer, streets and traffic, drainage, parks and recreation, open space, and solid
waste.
Section 3.1.1 (C) - Consistency (Standards for Site Plan Actions):
As described in Appendix B, a positive finding of consistency can be made as it relates to
Standards for Site Plan Actions.
Section 3.1.1 (D) - Compliance With the Land Development Regulations:
As described under the Site Plan Analysis of this report, a positive finding of compliance
with the LDRs can be made, provided the conditions of approval are addressed.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES:
A review of the goals, objectives and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan was
HPB Staff Report
Fischer Properties-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements
Page 10
conducted and no applicable goals, objectives or policies were found.
Section 2.4.5(F)(5) (Site Plan Findings):
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(F)(5) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Chapter Three,
the approving body must make a finding that the development of the property
pursuant to the site plan will be compatible and harmonious with the adjacent and
nearby properties and the City as a whole, so as not to cause substantial
depreciation of property values.
The subject property is surrounded by the OSSHAD zoning district. The property is
surrounded by a combination of commercial and residential uses. Compatibility is not a
concern, as the proposed use of the subject property would be allowable on each of the
surrounding properties. The proposal retains the existing residential character while
accommodating the adaptive re-use of the historic structures. The renovation of these
structures will enhance property values within the area. Based on the above, the
development will be compatible and harmonious with adjacent properties.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
Community Redevelopment Agency:
During the meeting of February 28, 2002, the proposed plan was reviewed by the CRA.
The Board found that the proposed plan is consistent with the historic district. However,
concerns were raised over the issue of adequate parking with the proposed restaurant use
at 31 South Swinton Avenue (lot 12). This issue was broached upon notice of a Unity of
Title over the four lots.
ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION
The development proposal involves the demolition of the two outbuildings and the
rehabilitation and conversion of four contributing single family homes (lots 11-15, Block 69)
to commercial/retail use and restaurant including the integration of extensive landscaping.
The proposal will be consistent with LDR Section 3.1.1 and Section 2.4.5(G)(5) of the Land
Development Regulations, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan only with substantial
changes as identified in this staff report. These changes are outlined as conditions of
approval. The proposed elevations for the four buildings to be converted comply with LDR
Section 4.5.1 and 4.6.18, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and the Delray Beach
Design Guidelines based upon the conditions as stated below.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS

APPENDIX A
CONCURRENCY FINDINGS
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1(B) Concurrency as defined pursuant to Objective B-2 of the Future Land
Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan must be met and a determination made that the public
facility needs of the requested land use and/or development application will not exceed the ability of
the City to fund and provide, or to require the provision of, needed capital improvements for the
following areas:
Water and Sewer:
❑ Water service exists via service lateral connections to the 10" water main within N. Swinton
Avenue.
❑ Sewer service exists via service lateral connections to an 8" sewer main in the north/south alley
and along the west side of the abutting property to the east.
❑ Adequate fire suppression will be provided via installation of a fire hydrant on the east side of
Swinton Avenue, approximately 120' north of SE 1st Street.
Pursuant to the City's Comprehensive Plan, treatment capacity is available at the City's Water
Treatment Plant and the South Central County Waste Water Treatment Plant for the City at build-
out. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made with respect to this level of service
standards.
Drainage:
A preliminary drainage plan has been submitted indicating that drainage will be accommodated on-
site via an exfiltration system. At this time, there are no problems anticipated meeting South Florida
Water Management District requirements.
Streets and Traffic:
The subject property is located in the City's TCEA (Traffic Concurrency Exception Area), which
encompasses the CBD, CBD-RC, OSSHAD, and West Atlantic Avenue Business Corridor. The
TCEA exempts the above-described areas from complying with the Palm Beach County Traffic
Performance Standards Ordinance. Therefore, a traffic study is not required for concurrency
purposes; however a traffic statement is necessary to keep a record of trips approved in the TCEA
and for calculation of traffic impact fees. The applicant has submitted a statement based upon the
conversion from office to retail and restaurant. The statement must be revised to accurately
calculate the vehicular trips generated from the conversions from residential to
commercial/restaurant, which has been attached as a condition of approval.
Parks and Open Space:
Park dedication requirements do not apply for nonresidential uses.
Solid Waste:
The proposal calls for a conversion of a single family dwelling to a retail/office and restaurant. Trash
generation is based upon the worst case scenario of retail and restaurant. Trash generated each

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
Agent: Camilucci Signs
Project Name: Forman Office Building
Project Location: 334 NE 1st Avenue
ITEM BEFORE : THE BOARD
The action before the Board is a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a
hanging sign for the Forman Office Building, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(J).
BACKG;ROU.ND '
The subject property is Lot 20, Subdivision of Block 65, Town of Delray (0.14 acres).
The property consists of a restored contributing single-family residence constructed in
1907 in the vernacular style. In the 1920's a garage was built on the rear of the lot
adjacent to the alley. The garage was demolished in the 1950's and a new garage was
constructed in 1994.
During the meeting of December 5, 2001, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed and
approved the Certificate of Appropriateness and associated Class V site plan,
landscape plan, and architectural elevations to convert the single family home to a law
office.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes the installation of a hanging sign in order to identify the
commercial site. The proposed sign is a single-faced, oval-shaped carved foam sign
with eye hook attachments designed to appear as weathered wood. A 1 1/2" foam core is
used to construct the convex shaped sign. The sign will display a blue background
(Matthews Wild Blue) to contrast the pale yellow border and lettering (Queen Anne's
Lace Yellow) intended to match the exterior of the building. Gold leafing will highlight the
outline of the establishment's name and house number displayed below. The hanging
style sign measures 36" in height and 36" in length for a total of 9 sq. ft. and will be
mounted from the eave of the shed roof porch between the porch posts to the left of the
main entrance with metal hooks.
ANALYSIS
The Board shall consider:
SIGN REGULATIONS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES
Forman Office Building COA 02-162
March 20, 2000
Page 2
LDR Section 4.6.7 (G)(1)(d) addresses Sign Design Standards for "Under Canopy
Signs"
A sign hung from a canopy or roof of a walkway. It may be rigid or may swing. Such a
sign may not have more than two sign faces.
LDR Section 4.6.7 (G)(2)(b) addresses "Conformity with Surroundings" and
states:
The scale of the sign, in terms of area, shall be consistent with the scale of the building
on which it is to be painted and the neighborhood and streetscape where it is to be
located; but in no case shall it exceed the height limitations set forth in Subsection (7).
LDR Section 4.6.7 (H)(2)(a)-(c) addresses "Aesthetic Qualifications and
Standards"
The aesthetic quality of a building, or indeed of an entire neighborhood, is materially
affected by achieving visual harmony of the sign on or about a structure as it relates to
the architecture or the building or the adjacent surroundings. In addition to the
mechanical limitations on signs imposed in Subsections (G) and (I), the following
aesthetic conditions must be met.
a) Scale: The scale of the sign must be consistent with the scale of the building on
which it is located or painted and the neighborhood in which it is located. Scale
shall also be considered in terms of Subsection (G) with respect to height and
area.
b) Garishness: The overall effect of the configuration of color of a sign shall not be
garish. "Garish" signs are those that are too bright or gaudy, showy, glaring,
and/or cheaply brilliant or involving excessive ornamentation.
c) Conflict_ The colors of a sign shall not conflict with other signs already on the
building or in the immediate vicinity.
Design Guidelines
The Delray Beach Design Guidelines state the following pertaining to signage:
Sign design and placement in an historic district or a historic site is an important
element. While preservationists believe the building facade is the best sign an owner
may have, the need for design guidelines refines the existing regulations adapting them
to the particular character of the specific location and site.
The district's character is maintained when signage does not cause visual disruption.
The sign should not obscure any architectural feature or detail, or interface with the
Forman Office Building COA 02-162
March 20, 2000
Page 3
views and appreciation of the building. Signage should compliment and not overwhelm
or compete with the architecture.
A list of suggestions then follows, the two operatives in this instance are:
• Sign style should reflect the appropriate architectural periods.
• Sign dimensions should be in proportion to the building's size.
• Appropriately designed lighted signs enhance a district. However, the exterior
source of the lighting should be concealed.
The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation
No direct reference is made to signage affecting historic structures, sites, or districts,
however, there is specific intent to project the importance of preserving "character-
defining" and distinctive features, and discussing scale and compatibility with respect to
new construction for historic structures and districts.
One such standard states:
New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy
historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be
differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale,
and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its
environment.
Conclusion
The proposed signage conveys the identity of the establishment and is consistent with
the architectural style of the vernacular structure without obscuring important character
defining architectural elements. The design is appropriate in relation to its proportion to
the building and the signage in the neighborhood. Positive findings with respect to LDR
Section 4.6.7, the City's Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards can be made.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
A. Continue with direction.
B. Approve the COA for the installation of a sign for the Forman Building, subject to
conditions.
C. Deny the COA for the installation of a sign for the Forman Office Building, with
the basis stated.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
Agent: Roger Cope, AIA
Project Name: Pat Lynch Residence
Project Location: 226 South Ocean Boulevard
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The action before the Board is a Certificate of Appropriateness and associated Class I
Site Plan Modification for the Patrick Lynch Residence, pursuant to LDR Section
2.4.6(J).
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Nassau Street and S. Ocean
Boulevard within the Nassau Park Historic District. The property encompasses the
south 21.65' of Lot 1, all of Lot 2 and the east 35' of Lot 3, Nassau Park subdivision and
consists of 0.41 acres.
The main house, located on the south side of the property, was constructed in 1936.
The construction date of the guest cottage is unknown, however City records indicate
that it was constructed prior to 1949. Both structures were built in the Resort Cottage
style of the 1930's and are contributing from a historical perspective. The house was a
winter residence for Mr. and Mrs. John G. Cherry of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and was one
of the first houses in the Nassau Park subdivision.
On November 7, 2000, the Historic Preservation Board approved a Certificate of
Appropriateness and associated Class II site plan modification for the Construction of a
2nd floor addition on the guest house (north building) and conversion of the structure
from an illegally converted duplex to a single family dwelling; construction of a one story
addition on the main house (south building); construction of a pool and deck on the east
side of the property; construction of a 4'-3' high masonry wall on the south and east
sides of the property; and, installation of associated landscaping. Variances to reduce
the front and side setbacks pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.4(K) were also approved.
During the meeting of June 20, 2001, the Board approved COA 428A, for the addition of
decorative shutters to the windows. The Board approved the shutters noting several
locations where the dimensions of the shutters needed modification, and requiring that
hardware associated with the shutters be added.
On August 1, 2001, the HPB approved minor elevation changes and a pre-construction
application for an ad valorum tax exemption. The associated improvements are
currently under construction.
226 S. Ocean Blvd., 2002-158-COA-HPB
Nassau Park Historic District
Page 2
During the Board meeting on January 16, 2002, the Board reviewed and approved the
construction of a cricketed gable entrance with four support posts separate from the
structure on the front façade of the rear cottage.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposal involves the construction of a gable entrance on the west elevation of the
contributing residence (south building) facing the gravel parking lot. The front façade
and main entrance of the dwelling faces south towards Nassau Street. Displaying
minimal architectural features, the west entrance currently has no door hood or
overhang causing constant exposure to the elements. The proposed gable design
would mimic the current gable roof on the front facade of the structure and the gable
addition at the rear. The elevation change, perpendicular to Nassau Street, would be
visible from the right-of-way.
In addition, the applicant proposes the construction of concrete paver walkways and a
pool deck, as well as the conversion of the 5 space pea rock parking area to paver
brick.
Lastly, the proposal includes the replacement of the previously approved 4' high wood
fence along the north property line with a 6' high concrete block and stucco wall, and
the replacement of the 4' high picket fence that surrounds the pool with a matching 4'
high concrete block wall that will be painted to match the main structure.
ANALYSIS
LDR Section 4.5.1 (E)(4), 4.5.1(E)(8)(g) and 4.5.1(E)(8)(h) "Development
Standards" provides guidelines in evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness for
the alteration of exterior architectural features. The guidelines are as follows:
The Board Shall Consider:
(a) A historic site, or building, structure, site improvement, or appurtenance within a
historic district shall be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated,
demolished, or otherwise changed in accordance with the Secretary of Interior's
Standards for Rehabilitation, as amended from time to time.
(b) All improvements to buildings, structures, and appurtenances within a designated
historic district shall be visually compatible. Visual compatibility can include but is
not limited to: consistency in relation to materials, texture, and color of the façade
of a building in association with the predominant material used in surrounding
historic sites and structures within the historic district.
(c) The roof shape of a building or structure shall be visually compatible with the roof
shape of a historic site, building, or structure within in a historic district.
226 S. Ocean Blvd., 2002-158-COA-HPB
Nassau Park Historic District
Page 3
The Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation offers the following
guidelines for consideration of an addition to a historic structure:
(a) The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The
removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that
characterize the property shall be avoided.
(b) Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and
use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as
adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings,
shall not be undertaken.
(c) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not
destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall
be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size,
scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property
and its environment.
(d) New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken
in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity
of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
Gable Entrance
Upon review of the project, the proposed improvement of a gable entrance on the west
elevation does not appear to be an intrusive or inappropriate addition to the extant
historic structure. The gable does mimic the two gables on the front of the structure in
addition to the gable entrance added to the rear of the main dwelling. The gable
entrance addition can be constructed and could easily be removed without any damage
to the extant historic fabric and is therefore not an insensitive addition. Consequently,
positive findings can be made with respect to the requested proposal for the gable
entrance on the west elevation.
Concrete Paver Walkways and Parking Lot
The proposed concrete pavers will be a welcome addition to the parking area that
currently is pea gravel. Additionally, concrete paver walkways along the northern
perimeter of the main dwelling and surrounding the pool will compliment the proposed
pavers in the parking area. Positive findings can therefore be supported with respect to
the addition of concrete pavers in the parking, walkway, and pool areas.
Perimeter Fence
With the site plan approval in 2001, the Board approved removal of a 2' high wall and
the installation of a c.b.s. wall of varying height from 3' to 4'-6" adjacent to Ocean
226 S. Ocean Blvd., 2002-158-COA-HPB
Nassau Park Historic District
Page 4
Boulevard and Nassau Street. The applicant wishes to replace the approved 4' wood
fence along the north property line with a similar concrete block wall 6' in height. The
wall will be consistent with the wall associated with the historic structure. The transition
of the wall height from 4'-6" to 6' at the northeast corner will be addressed by the
provision of a decorative element consistent with those that exist on site. Based upon
the above, positive findings can be made with respect to the proposed wall.
A 4' concrete block wall intended to match the perimeter wall is also proposed around
the pool at the rear of the historic main dwelling to replace the wood picket fence.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
A. Continue with direction.
B. Approve the COA and associated Class I Site Plan Modification for the Patrick
Lynch Residence based upon positive findings with respect to the Delray Beach
Design Guidelines and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation, pursuant to LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(4), 4.5.1(E)(8)(g), and
4.5.1(E)(8)(h).
C. Deny the COA and associated Class I Site Plan Modification for the Patrick
Lynch Residence, based upon a failure to make positive findings with respect to
LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(4), 4.5.1(E)(8)(g), and 4.5.1(E)(8)(h), the Delray Beach
Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT
Project Name: 17 NW 4th Avenue
Project Location: East side of NW 4th Avenue, approximately 350' north of West
Atlantic Avenue
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
demolition of the non-contributing structure at 17 NW 4th Avenue, pursuant to LDR
Section 2.4.6(J).
BACKGROUND/'PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located on the east side of NW 4th Avenue, approximately 350'
north of West Atlantic Avenue, in the West Settler's Historic District. The property
consists of Lots 26 and 27, Block 36, and contains a 1,122 square foot non-contributing
duplex constructed in 1961.
The Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is requesting to demolish
this structure as a part of site preparation involved in the development of the previously
approved Atlantic Grove project. The Atlantic Grove project involves the construction of
a mixed-use development consisting of 55 townhouses, 20 condominium units and
47,856 square feet of retail/office/restaurant space, that will be located on the north side
of West Atlantic Avenue between NW 3rd and 5th Avenues.
ANALYSIS
LDR Section 4.5.1(F) "Restrictions on Demolitions" provides guidelines in
evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness' for demolition. The guidelines are as
follows:
The Board Shall Consider:
(a) Whether the structure is of such interest or quality that it would reasonably fulfill
criteria for designation for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
(b) Whether the structure is of such design, craftsmanship, or material that it could be
reproduced only with great difficulty or economically nonviable expense.
(c) Whether the structure is one of the last remaining examples of its kind in the
designated historic district within the city.
(d) Whether retaining the structure would promote the general welfare of the city by
providing an opportunity to study local history, architecture, and design, or by
developing an understanding of the importance and value of a particular culture and
heritage.
Meeting Date:March 20,2002
Agenda Item:II.E.
17 NW 4th Avenue, Demolition
West Settlers Historic District
Page 2
(e) Whether there are definite plans for immediate reuse of the property if the proposed
demolition is carried out, and what effect those plans will have on the character of
the surrounding area.
The non-contributing structure is constructed of concrete block and displays a front
facing gable roof with asphalt shingles. Fenestration consists of aluminum awning
windows and jalousie doors. The structure displays no architectural detail and holds no
historical context in relation to the historic district.
The demolition of the non-contributing structure will not be deleterious to the historic
character of the district. As architectural and historical integrity of the structure are not
present, a positive finding can be made with regard to the demolition request.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
A. Continue with direction.
B. Approve the demolition of the non-contributing duplex at 17 NW 4th Avenue, based
upon positive findings with respect to LDR Section 4.5.1(F).
C. Deny approval of the demolition of the non-contributing duplex at 17 NW 4th
Avenue, with the basis stated.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness request for the demolition of a non-
contributing duplex located at 17 NW 4th Avenue, based upon positive findings with
respect to LDR Section 4.5.1(F) and the Delray Beach Design Guidelines.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
Agent: Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources
Project Name: Judge Knott Center for Historic Preservation
Project Location: 20 North Swinton Avenue
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The action before the Board is a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a
free-standing sign for the Judge Knott Center for Historic Preservation, pursuant to LDR
Section 2.4.6(J).
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located on the west side of North Swinton Avenue,
approximately 140' north of West Atlantic Avenue and consists of Lot 12, Block 60,
Town of Delray. The property is located within the Old School Square Historic Arts
District (OSSHAD) zoning district.
The property contains a two-story Monterey style building approximately 2,300 square
feet in size. The structure was originally built as a single-family residence in the late
1930's, and was relocated to the site from the Hillcrest neighborhood in West Palm
Beach in 1994. The building is presently occupied by the Delray Beach Historical
Society.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ANALYSIS
The applicant proposes the installation of a new free-standing sign to replace an
existing free-standing sign, which is in disrepair. The proposed free-standing sign is
comprised of two parts, both of which are double-sided with rounded-notched corners.
In addition to the above items, the main portion (upper) of the sign will consist of a
raised half-ellipse for the building number. The secondary portion (lower) of the sign will
be attached to the main portion via eye hooks.
The sign will display a yellow background matching the existing building that will
— contrast the green border and lettering, which is intended to match the shutters. The
free-standing sign measures 55" in height and 40" in length for a total of approximately
15 square feet and will be mounted with aluminum brackets between a pair of 4" x 4"
posts connected with a horizontal beam. Decorative spheres will be placed on top of
each of the posts.
Meeting Date: March 20, 2002

SIGN REGULATIONS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES:
The Board shall consider the following:
Sign Regulations:
LDR Section 4.6.7(G)(1)(b), addresses Sign Design Standards for "Free-Standing
Signs" and states:
A free-standing sign is not affixed to any other structure. It may be either a pole
sign or a monument sign. Neither the pole nor the base of the monument shall
be considered in calculation of the area of the sign face. A free-standing sign
may not have more than two sign faces.
LDR Section 4.6.7(G)(2)(b), addresses "Conformity with Surroundings" and
states:
The scale of the sign, in terms of area, shall be consistent with the scale of the
building on which it is to be painted and the neighborhood and streetscape where
it is to be located; but in no case shall it exceed the height limitations set forth in
Subsection (7).
LDR Section 4.6.7(G)(3)(a), addresses "Basic Setback Determinants" and states:
The setback for a free standing sign shall be ten feet (10) from the ultimate right-
of-way line unless there is a special setback or special landscape area
designated for the street pursuant to Section 4.3.4(H)(6). The setback is
measured from the closest portion of the sign to the right-of-way. No signs shall
extend into a right-of-way.
LDR Section 4.6.7(H)(2)(a)-(c), addresses "Aesthetic Qualifications and
Standards" and states:
The aesthetic quality of a building, or indeed of an entire neighborhood, is
materially affected by achieving visual harmony of the sign on or about a
structure as it relates to the architecture or the building or the adjacent
surroundings. In addition to the mechanical limitations on signs imposed in
Subsections (G) and (1), the following aesthetic conditions must be met.
(a) Scale: The scale of the sign must be consistent with the scale of the building
on which it is located or painted and the neighborhood in which it is located.
Scale shall also be considered in terms of Subsection (E) with respect to
height and area.

(b) Garishness: The overall effect of the configuration of color of a sign shall not
be garish. "Garish" signs are those that are too bright or gaudy, showy,
glaring, and/or cheaply brilliant or involving excessive ornamentation.
(c) Conflict: The colors of a sign shall not conflict with other signs already on the
building or in the immediate vicinity.
Design Guidelines:
The Delray Beach Design Guidelines state the following pertaining to signage:
Sign design and placement in an historic district or a historic site is an important
element. While preservationists believe the building façade is the best sign an
owner may have, the need for design guidelines refines the existing regulations
adapting them to the particular character of the specific location and site.
The district's character is maintained when signage does not cause visual
disruption. The sign should not obscure any architectural feature or detail, or
interface with the views and appreciation of the building. Signage should
compliment and not overwhelm or compete with the architecture.
A list of suggestions then follows, the two operatives in this instance are:
• Sign style should reflect the appropriate architectural periods.
• Sign dimensions should be in proportion to the building's size.
The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation:
No direct reference is made to signage affecting historic structures, sites, or districts;
however, there is specific intent to project the importance of preserving "character-
defining" and distinctive features, and discussing scale and compatibility with respect to
new construction for historic structures and districts.
One such standard states:
New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not
destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall
be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size,
scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property
and its environment.
Conclusion:
The proposed free-standing signage conveys the identity of the establishment and is
compatible with the architectural style of the existing building without obscuring any

important character defining architectural elements. The design is appropriate with
respect to being in proportion with the building and other signage in the neighborhood.
Positive findings with respect to LDR Section 4.6.7 (Sign Regulations), the City's
Historic Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards can be made.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
A. Continue with direction.
B. Approve the COA for the installation of a free-standing sign for the Judge Knott
Center for Historic Preservation.
C. Deny the COA for the installation of a free-standing sign for the Judge Knott
Center for Historic Preservation, with the basis stated.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a free-standing sign for
the Judge Knott Center for Historic Preservation, based upon positive findings with
respect to LDR Sections 4.6.7(G)(1)(b), (G)(2)(b), and (H)(2)(a-c), of the City's Design
Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT
Agent: Michael Strauss
Project Name: 30 SE 1st Avenue
Project Location: Between SE 1st Street and Atlantic Avenue
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is reconsideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
replacement of existing windows, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(J).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Background
On November 20, 1996, the Historic Preservation Board approved the removal of the existing
jalousie windows and the installation of white aluminum single hung sash windows with a 6/1 lite
configuration in conjunction with the site plan to convert the 1925 Mission style residence to an
office. This approval was valid for 18 months, however, the replacement of the windows and
associated improvements was never completed and the approval expired.
At the meeting of February 20, 2002, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed the COA request
to replace the existing jalousie and awning windows with new 6/1 and 4/1 DHS windows. Upon
review of the request, the Board considered the applicant's proposal to replace the existing
windows with aluminum frame windows. The applicant requested consideration of the aluminum
due to the fact that replacement in—kind with wood framed windows would be cost prohibitive.
Previous deliberation by the Board regarding this matter included the review of aluminum
windows with impact glass along Banker's Row. On February 2, 2000, the Board approved the
use of aluminum windows on those elevations that are not along the front façade on a case by
case basis. However, any windows or doors replaced within view of the right-of-way must be
done in-kind with wood frames and similar muntin profiles.
Design Elements Analysis
LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(4), Section 4.5.1(E)(8)(c), and (E)(8)(g) "Development Standards"
provides guidelines in evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness for the alteration or
addition of exterior architectural features. The guidelines are as follows:
A historic site, or building, structure, site, improvement, or appurtenance within a historic district
shall be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished, or otherwise changed in
accordance to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, as amended from time
to time.
Meeting Date: March 20, 2002
Agenda Item: II.G.
HPB Staff Report
30 SE 1st Avenue—Reconsideration of windows
Page 2
The openings of any building within a historic district shall be visually compatible with the
openings exemplified by the prevailing historic architectural styles within the district. The
relationship of the width of windows and doors to the height of windows and doors among
buildings within the district shall be visually compatible.
All improvements to building, structures, and appurtenances within a designated historic district
shall be visually compatible. Visual compatibility can include but is not limited to: consistency in
relation to materials, texture, and color of the facade of a building in association with the
predominant material used in surrounding historic sites and structures within the historic district.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation states:
The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic
materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in
design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials.
The applicant will provide information to the Board at its meeting regarding the cost and details
of the windows. Further research by Staff has found several alternatives to the proposed
aluminum windows. The alternatives include 6/1 and 4/1 DHS solid wood windows by leading
window companies including Pella and Anderson and wood core windows with vinyl coverings.
These alternatives appear more economically feasible and will support the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation to replace all historic materials in-kind. Additional
information will be available at the meeting.
Conclusion
An alternative material to the aluminum framed windows proposed may be a more cost effective
solution while achieving the original intent of the Board to replace all historic materials in-kind.
One such alternative is to install aluminum windows on all elevations not visible from the right-
of-way with wood windows on the front façade only. Another alternative would be to install wood
core windows with vinyl cladding on the exterior. Further review of the applicant's request and
alternatives from Staff could determine a reasonable solution to replacing the windows and
retaining the historic integrity of the structure while keeping the project economically feasible.
The final project must be consistent with LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(4), (E)(8)(c), and (E)(8)(g), the
City Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
A. Continue with direction.
B. Approve the COA for the installation of wood core windows with vinyl cladding for the
property at 30 SE 1st Avenue, based upon positive findings with respect to Section LDR
Section 4.5.1(E)(4), (E)(8)(c), and (E)(8)(g), and the Delray Beach Design Guidelines.

way for the property at 30 SE 1st Avenue, based upon positive findings with respect to
Section LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(4), (E)(8)(c), and (E)(8)(g), and the Delray Beach Design
Guidelines.
D. Deny the COA for 30 SE 1st Avenue, based upon a failure to make positive findings with
respect to LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(4), (E)(8)(c), and (E)(8)(g), the Delray Beach Design
Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
RECOMMENDATION
