To infer, or even suggest,that the Historic Preservation Board has granted demolition permits in the"West Settlers District"and other poorer section of town more readily than other"Historic Districts", is insinuating that decisions are made based on racial prejudice and racial bias. As an ex-board member,nothing could be further from the truth. If Ms. McCarthy felt that the Historic Preservation Board was behaving nefariously,it was incumbent upon her in her fiduciary roll to meet with the board, and present her concerns. As far as I am able to ascertain, she has not attended a single Historic Preservation Board meeting. Before jumping to radical conclusions,perhaps she should read the Historic Preservation Guidelines, and take time to discover the facts, including exactly where the meets and bounds of the Historic Districts are currently located. Properties outside the Historic Districts, and properties that are not individually historically listed with-in the City of Delray Beach, do not come under their jurisdiction. The tepid support by commissioners for the work done by the volunteers of the Historic Preservation Board(or any other board) is demoralizing enough,but this was the most unprofessional conduct by a city commissioner I have ever witnessed in my long years of civic involvement. The full City Commission owes the Historic Preservation Board, as well as city staff a public apology, and a reprimand of Ms. McCarthy for her conduct. In your service, I remain Sincerely yours, Cecil (Sandy)J 'son, Jr. 515 orth S ' on Avenue D ay Beac 33444-3955 (561)272-7726 Email: 5jamison@bellsouth.net cc: Jeff Perlman—Commissioner Jon Levinson—Commissioner Alberta McCarthy—Commissioner Pat Archer—Commissioner David T.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action before the Board is that of approval of a COA that incorporates the following aspects of the development proposal for 4 NE 2"d Street, Pineapple Podiatry, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(F): U Class V Site Plan; ❑ Landscape Plan; and ❑ Design Elements. The subject property is located on an interior lot on the south side of NE 2nd Street, approximately 71' west of NE 1st Avenue, between N. Swinton Avenue and NE 1st Avenue. BACKGROUND Zoned Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD), the 0.14 acre property consists of a portion of Lots 9 & 10, Block 67, Town of Delray, and currently contains an 800 square foot non-contributing, single family dwelling constructed in 1937. The subject property is currently considered a non-contributing property within the Old School Square Historic District as the existing dwelling has been extensively altered. Located on an interior lot, the property is currently situated between an improved alley and a vacant, corner lot which is scheduled for development of the Management Systems Office Building. In June 1989, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed and approved the installation of a 4' picket fence along the front façade of the building and a swing gate in front of the driveway. During its meeting on March 4, 1998, the Board reviewed a request to retain the existing paint colors of bright pink for the body and bright blue on the trim and front door. The house was painted without the application and approval of a COA. Staff recommendation was to change the trim to white and perhaps retain the blue on the door. The Board voted to continue this item until possible Bootstrap funds could become available for use by the applicant as no additional appropriations were available for re-painting; however, no change to the color scheme was ever applied. At its meeting of May 1, 2002, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed a proposal to demolish the one-story, non-contributing dwelling located at 4 NE 2'd Street in order to accommodate the construction of a two-story, mixed use (residential and office) building. Demolition of the extant dwelling was approved provided that a Class V Site Plan approval for a new building is obtained prior to approval of the demolition permit. The applicant has submitted a Class V Site Plan application for the construction of a two- story, mixed use (residential and office) building and is now before the Board for consideration. Meeting Date: December 4, 2002 Agenda Item: III.A. HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2nd Street-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The development proposal includes the following: ❑ Construction of a 2,858 sq. ft. two-story, mixed use building (residential and office) that includes 1,444 sq. ft. of office space with five examination rooms and a waiting room on the first floor and 1,414 sq. ft. of residential space (two bedrooms) on the second floor; o Construction of a seven (7) space asphalt parking lot that includes one handicapped space; and, o Development of a brick sidewalk, concrete walkways and associated landscaping. *An alternative plan has been submitted in response to Staff's and the Pineapple Grove Review Committee's comments. The alternative includes the following: o Construction of a 3,018 sq. ft. two-story, mixed use building (residential and office) that includes 1,524 sq. ft. of office space with five examination rooms and a waiting room on the first floor and 1,494 sq. ft. of residential space (two bedrooms) on the second floor. o Construction of a seven (7) space asphalt parking lot that includes one handicapped space; and, ❑ Development of a brick sidewalk, concrete walkways and associated landscaping. 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 applicable development standards that relates to the proposal is as follows: Required Provided Building Height (max.) 35' 29' - 2 3/4" Building Setbacks (min.) - Front 25' 25' Side Interior (east) 7'6" 26' Side Interior(west) 7'6" 7'6" Rear 10' 10' - 75/6" Open Space 25% 37% HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2nd Street- Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 3 LDR Section 4.4.24 (OSSHAD-Special District Regulation): Accessory Uses Permitted Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.24(C)(2)(a), on a parcel that has its principal use a non- residential use, there may be one single family residence, either within a separate structure or within a structure housing a non-residential use, provided one of the following situations exist: that the residence is occupied by the owner, proprietor, or employee of a business enterprise conducted on the property; the business is owned or operated by the owner; or that the residence is occupied by the owner. The owner of the mixed use building (residential and office) will be working and residing on the property and is therefore compliant with this requirement. If, in the future, the use of the apartment is occupied in a manner other than as the provided in LDR Section 4.4.24(C)(2)(a), conditional use approval must be obtained. Parking Requirement: 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. This requirement may be reduced to one parking space per 400 sq. ft. of total floor area, or by at least one space, where there is a mix of residential and non-residential in the same structure. Parking Analysis A single loaded parking bay is proposed on the west side of the property with access taken off of the improved alley. The proposed use is mixed use with both office and residential. The new building will contain a total of 2,858 sq. ft with 1,444 sq. ft. office space on the first floor and a 1,414 sq. ft., two bedroom residence on the second floor. Based on this analysis, 6.11 or 7 parking spaces total are required and provided (3.61 or 4 for office and 2.5 for residential) including one handicapped space. Alternative Design Parking Analysis The applicant is proposing an alternate plan based on recommendations from Staff and Review Boards. The proposed plan involves the addition of square footage on both the first and second floors with the creation of a vestibule at the northwest corner. With the additional square footage, the first floor is approximately 1,524 sq. ft. and the second is 1,494 sq. ft. (3,018 sq. ft. total). Parking would therefore be re-calculated at 3.81 spaces for the first floor (1,524 - 400 sq. ft. = 3.81) and 2.5 for the second floor (two bedrooms and a guest space)for a total of 6.31 or 7 parking spaces required and provided for on site. Upon analysis of the proposed alternate parking area, the access panel is not fully accessible due to the configuration of the south facing entrance of the waiting room. The swing of the door would not permit a proper maneuvering area in and out of the access panel. It is therefore recommended that the access panel be reversed and located to the north of the handicapped space as reflected in the original parking configuration. This has been attached as a condition of approval. HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2nd Street-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 4 LDR Chapter 4.6 Supplementary District Regulations: 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. The TCEA includes the Old School Square Historic District. 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 meet this requirement as outlined in LDR Section 4.6.8. Further, site lighting locations are reflected on the site, landscape, and engineering plans and decorative fixture details were provided for the site lighting however, fixture details for the lighting proposed on the building have not been provided. This has been added as 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 site plan reflects the location of the underground utilities along the alley (west property line). All utility lines are to be buried underground and are to be noted on the site plan. This has been addressed in the technical comments. Sidewalks Pursuant to LDR Section 6.1.3(B)(1), a 5' wide sidewalk is required within the rights-of-way adjacent to the property. An existing 5' sidewalk currently runs along NE 2nd Street between North Swinton Avenue and NE 1st Avenue providing accessibility to the building as well as the parking area. Brick pavers are proposed as an improvement to the existing sidewalk and are intended to tie into the proposed sidewalk for the Management Systems Office Building to the east. Refuse Container Area: The proposed refuse area is centered at the south end of the property. However, all refuse containers must be screened by decorative wood fences and gates or landscaping. No such fencing or landscaping has been proposed to screen the refuse enclosures. Accommodation must also be made for recyclable materials. A condition of approval mandates that the proposed refuse area be enclosed by fencing or landscaping and that the area be designed to accommodate recyclables. HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2"d Street- Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 5 Technical Items: The following Technical Items must be addressed with the submittal of revised plans prior to building permit submittal: 1. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(2)(b), when the parking is adjacent to an alley, the parking space and alley must have a combined minimum depth of 42'. The minimum depth provided is only 40.5'. The plans must be revised to provide a combined parking space and alley width of 42'. 2. That the site plan and engineering plan must indicate the dimensioned width of the alley as well as the existing and proposed improvements in the alley (i.e. existing and proposed pavement). 3. Provide elevations on adjacent property to the south and provide a typical section at the south property line. A typical section should include from the building to the adjacent property. 4. Section Y-Y should show true elevations on existing property. 5. Provide enough proposed elevations to indicate how property will retain storm water. 6. The site is required to retain 5 year 1 day storm (3.2") in addition to meeting water quality criteria. Provide exfiltration test results. 7. Proposed landscaping should not interfere with proposed drainage. 8. The existing driveway is to be removed and replaced with sod. 9. Indicate the width of the driveway. The drive aisle may be a maximum of six feet. 10.Provide a fence detail for proposed fencing to the east on the site and landscape plans. 11.That all utility lines be buried underground. LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS Existing and proposed landscaping will be interspersed throughout the property with Alexander Palms, Lantana, and Thyrallis featured at the entrance of the building off of NE 2nd Street (adjacent to the building and the new parking area) and four Oleander Trees proposed centered along the east property line. Two of the proposed Gumbo Limbos will be relocated to the northeast and southeast corners while the Gumbo Limbo at the southwest corner of the property will remain in its respective location. A ficus hedge will line the south and east perimeter of the property. The existing and proposed landscaping complies with the requirements of LDR Section 4.6.16. However, it is recommended per LDR Section 4.6.16 (E)(1) that xeriscape principles be utilized and that due to limitations of green space on the property, that the applicant consider the elimination of all sod (with the exception of the right-of-way) and plant shrubs and groundcover at a minimum along the south side of the parking between the proposed hedge and pavement. HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2nd Street-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 6 DESIGN ELEMENTS/ANALYSIS Design Elements There are two elevation designs being proposed by the applicant. The first is submitted as originally proposed. The second is an alternative design based on review comments from Staff, the Community Redevelopment Agency, and the Pineapple Grove Design Review Committee. Both plans have been analyzed in this report and are divided into sections by design. The designs are as follows: Proposed Design The applicant proposes a two-story, Colonial Revival influenced building. The mixed use project features a front facing gable with standing seam metal roof and a hardiplank, lap siding exterior with two-story shed roof porch. Located along the west elevation, the porch is supported by wood columns displaying Doric capitals and smooth shafts which span the length of the porch. A white wood picket railing runs the length of the porch on the second floor that continues along the west elevation and terminates just before the last bay of the building. Fenestration includes 4/4 single hung sash white aluminum frame windows (with impact resistant glass) on both floors including the south and north elevations with a fixed twelve light window in both gable ends. Paired 4/4 single hung sash windows line the second story of the east elevation with paired and triplet windows found on the second floor of the west elevation. Fixed Colonial shutters highlight each window on the first and second floors and those windows located on the gable ends with the exception of those windows on the second floor of the west elevation shaded by the porch's shed roof. The building's entrance lies on the northwest corner of the building (facing west) on the first floor and can be accessed from NE 2nd Street or from the parking area. The building terminates at the south end with an exit door leading out of the building adjacent to the elevator shaft (south elevation). The south elevation resembles a saltbox design with the porch terminating just before the last bay (south end at the elevator shaft). A French door with divided light sidelights and single light, full length transom lies at the entrance with a solid core door located at the rear entrance on the south elevation. The proposed colors for the building include Provence Creme for the body, Deep Green for the shutters and white for the trim and porch details including the columns and porch railing. Lantern lighting hung from the ceiling of the first floor completes the decorative elements of the building. Alternate Design This design is similar to the original design with some variations. The design retains the front facing gable with two-story porch and standing seam metal roof but creates a front entrance to the building at NE 2nd Street rather than a side entrance facing the proposed HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2nd Street-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 7 parking area. This gable entryway is also mirrored at the southern egress (south elevation) for symmetry. The gable entrances are flanked by full length Colonial shutters. The new entrance creates a vestibule at the northwest corner of the building that encompasses a gable front entry with solid four panel door. The vestibule allows access from two points of entry: one at the NE 2nd Street and the other facing south adjacent to the parking area. The second floor porch begins at this entryway and terminates just before the last bay at the south end of the building. Development Standards LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(4), (E)(7), and (E)(8)(a-k) "Development Standards" provides guidelines in evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness for the alteration or addition of exterior architectural features. The applicable standards are as follows: (E)(4) 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. (E)(7) The construction of new buildings or structures, or the relocation, alteration, reconstruction, or major repair or maintenance of a non-contributing building or structure within a designated historic district shall meet the same compatibility standards as any material change in the exterior appearance of an existing non- contributing building. Any material change in the exterior appearance if any existing non-contributing building, structure, or appurtenance in a designated historic district shall be generally compatible with the form, proportion, mass, configuration, building material, texture, color, and location of historic buildings, structures, or sites adjoining or reasonably approximate to the non-contributing building, structure, or site. (E)(8) 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. Analysis Initial comments by the Planning and Zoning Department, the Community Redevelopment Agency, and the Pineapple Grove Design Committee, included the addition of design elements to the front façade of the building (north elevation) in order to convey the idea that the building's entrance faces NE 2nd Street. At its meeting on September 24, 2002 and a review of the alternate plan on November 19, 2002, the Pineapple Grove Design Review Committee recommended the following: a decorative gate or gable entrance be added to the first floor, that the fenestration on the second floor reflect the proposed fenestration on the first floor, eliminate the stringcourse on the west elevation beyond the balcony, install brick pavers in the parking area and walkways, and install a picket fence to link with the adjacent property. HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2'd Street-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 8 The alternate design, as proposed by the applicant, with the vestibule enclosure provided additional square footage but did not add elements which were conveyed in the original recommendations. In addition to the comments forwarded by the Pineapple Grove Design Committee, it was suggested that the north elevation have such elements as a decorative gate at the first floor porch entrance, that the porch be wrapped around the building or that the creation of a faux balcony (no more than 3' in width) be added. Further, it was thought that if an entrance door was to be added that the first floor, the west window could be redesigned as a front entrance door rather than the creation of a new vestibule and that the porch element could therefore be retained. In addition, design elements such as a gable - vent or stringcourse would add to the impression of a front façade on the north elevation. Re-designing or adding conjectural features to the original design will aid in the creation of the building's entrance on NE 2nd Street rather than at the west side as viewed from the right-of-way. This recommendation that additional design elements be added to the original design is a condition of approval and supports the Staff, CRA, and Pineapple Grove Design Committee's original recommendations . While the entrance off of NE 2nd Avenue is encouraged and preferred, the full length shutters along the entry doors are not complimentary with either the proposed original or alternate design elements. The original design for the entryway with sidelights and a transom is therefore more appropriate and is in keeping with the Colonial style. A 6' high wood fence exists on the east property line, however, the fence is not in optimum condition and it is recommended that the fence be replaced and painted white to match the proposed picket fence on the remaining perimeter of the property. This has been added as a condition of approval. 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)(1), (2), and (3), within the OSSHAD zoning district, residential uses, business and professional offices are listed as permitted uses. As previously stated, the owner occupied unit is allowed as a permitted use. Any occupation of the residence in a manner inconsistent with LDR Section 4.4.24(C)(2), will require conditional use approval. 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. HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2"d Street- Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 9 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 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 bounded by the OSSHAD zoning district with a combination of commercial, office, and residential uses. Compatibility is not a concern, as the proposed mixed use of the subject property would be permitted on the surrounding properties. The proposal retains the existing residential character, building style, scale, and massing. Based on the above, the development will be compatible and harmonious with adjacent properties. REVIEW BY OTHERS Community Redevelopment Agency The project proposed for Pineapple Podiatry was reviewed by the CRA during its meeting on October 24, 2002. The CRA Board recommended approval subject to the addition of design elements on the north elevation including wrapping the porch around the front façade. Pineapple Grove Design Committee HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2nd Street-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 10 The Pineapple Podiatry project was reviewed by the Pineapple Grove Design Committee during its meeting on September 24, 2002. The following comments were conveyed: 1) That a decorative gate be added to.the first floor, north elevation to convey the feel of the front facade facing NE 2nd Street; 2) Brick pavers are suggested in the parking area and walkways rather than concrete; and, 4) A picket fence is suggested to link with the adjacent property and along the front and side areas and to frame out the parking area. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION The development proposal involves the construction of a new two-story, mixed use building for both residential and office use and the integration of perimeter landscaping and parking. The proposal will be consistent with Section 3.1.1 and Section 2.4.5(F)(5) of the Land Development Regulations and policies of the Comprehensive Plan with changes as identified in this staff report. These changes are outlined as conditions of approval. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A. Continue with direction. B.

Attachments: Survey, Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Elevations, Floor Plan Report prepared by: Wendy Shay, Historic Preservation Planner HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2nd Street- Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 12 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 6"water main along NE 2nd Street. ❑ Sewer service exists via service lateral connections to a 12" sewer main along NE 2nd Street. ❑ Adequate fire suppression is provided via existing a fire hydrant on the corner of N. Swinton Avenue and NE 2nd Street and at the corner of NE 1st Avenue and NE 2nd 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. The proposed 2,858 sq. ft. retail will generate approximately 50 additional daily trips which will not have a significant impact on the surrounding neighborhood. Schools: As the subject property is located in the City's TCEA, this project is exempt from School Concurrency. Parks and Recreation Facilities: The proposed residential unit will not have a significant impact with respect to level of service standards for parks and recreation facilities. Pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.2, a park impact fee of $500.00 per dwelling unit will be collected prior to issuance of a building permit for parks and recreation purposes. Solid Waste: The proposal calls for a conversion of single family dwellings to a mixed use office/residence. Trash generation is based upon the worst case scenario of mixed use of office and residential. Trash generated each year by the proposed 2,858 sq.ft. office/residential space will be 9.7 tons of solid HPB Staff Report 4 NE 2nd Street-Class V Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Design Elements Page 13 waste per year (2,858 x 5.4 + 2,000 = 7.71 + 1.99 = 9.7). The trash generated by the existing single family home is 1.99 tons of solid waste per year resulting in an increase of 7.71 tons per year. 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.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD All-Arnazza City III MEMORADUM STAFF REPORT tIII( 1993 1993 20D1 2001 Agent: William Young, Authorized Agent Project Name: St. Paul's AME Church Project Location: 119 NW 5th Avenue ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is approval of a Class II Site Plan Modification for St. Paul's AME Church, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(J). BACKGROUND St. Paul's AME Church was founded in 1897. The Church building was originally constructed at its current site in 1911 but was subsequently reconstructed in 1958. An addition was later added in 1966 with the Rectory constructed in 1976. The Church's properties are located on the east and west sides of NW 5th Avenue, between Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive (NW 2nd Street) and NW 1st Street. The subject property is currently vacant and sits to the south of and adjacent to the Susan Williams House and directly across from St. Paul's AME Church (to the west). The property is zoned Community Facilities (CF) and is designated "historic" property as a part of the West Settler's Historic District and is individually listed on the Local register of Historic Places. The CF zoning, which encompasses both the vacant lot and the property across the street which holds St. Paul's AME Church, allows the construction of a parking lots as an accessory use. During its meeting of July 6, 1994, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) recommended approval of plans to expand the Church to the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB). At that time, the property was deemed historic as part of the West Settler's Historic District, however, the buildings were .non-contributing and were therefore under the jurisdiction of SPRAB for site plan modifications. The HPB further encouraged the Church to incorporate the church bell into the associated landscape plans in order to highlight the importance of the bell within the community. This request was completed. On November 15, 1994, City Commission adopted Ordinance 85-94 which called for the rezoning of the subject property from General Commercial (GC) to Community Facilities (CF). On February 1, 1995, the Board approved the elevations associated with Phase I for the 1,597 sq. ft. expansion of the Parish Hall to accommodate new classrooms and kitchen Meeting Date: December 4, 2002 Agenda Item: III.C. St. Paul's AME Church—Class II Site Plan Modification Page 2 modifications. The Church was then notified that the elevations would have to go before SPRAB. The Church then requested that all future projects go before the HPB as the property is listed on the Local Register. "Non-impacting" site improvements were subsequently approved administratively that included the relocation of the bell, installation of a sign, a gate, and a courtyard. These requests were instituted. During its meeting of March 1, 1995, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed and approved Phase II of the site improvements associated with the creation of a new vestibule with foyer, bathrooms, choir room, and pastor offices, the expansion of the Sanctuary (an addition of 54 seats), a modification of the south parking lot, a new courtyard, development of a 28 space, stabilized sod parking lot to the west, and associated landscaping. Construction of the one- story vestibule required a variance in order to reduce the side setback from the required 10' to 6'6". The variance was granted and the project was subsequently approved subject to conditions involving landscaping. The site improvements were completed with the exception of the parking lot to the west. No landscaping or differentiation of spaces were established and the lot remains vacant. In February 1998, a 6' fence was approved administratively for the enclosure of two A/C units located at the northeast corner of the property. A Class II site plan modification has been submitted for the development of the vacant lot for the construction of a 24 space parking lot and is now before the Board for action. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The development proposal consists of the following: ➢ Construction of a 24 space asphalt parking area with a retention area located on the south side of the lot; ➢ Installation of associated lighting; ➢ Installation of associated landscaping; and ➢ Waiver request to LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(3)(c)(1), to reduce the stacking distance for 20' to 5' fro a parking lot containing 21-50 parking spaces. REQUIRED FINDINGS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(1)(b), a Class II site plan modification is a modification to a site plan which requires no review of the Performance Standards found in LDR Section 3.1.1, but requires action by a Board. LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(5) (Findings): Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(5), formal findings are not required for a Class I or II modification. St. Paul's AME Church—Class II Site Plan Modification Page 3 SITE PLAN MODIFICATION ANALYSIS COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS: Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall be specifically addressed by the body taking final action on the site and development proposal. Article 4.6 (Supplemental District Regulations): Parking Requirement: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(C)(6)(c), Churches shall provide one space for every three seats provided in the Sanctuary. Additional parking is not required for other uses on the Church property when such uses are operated as part of, under the auspices of, the Church. St. Paul's AME Church has approximately 18 spaces on site provided for its congregants. There are approximately 278 seats within the Sanctuary of the Church which requires 93 spaces (278 T 3 = 92.6 or 93). The Church is currently non-conforming with respect to the required parking spaces provided and the addition of the 24 spaces will reduce the non- conformity. The proposed 24 space parking lot is an accessory use to the Church and will increase the number of spaces provided to 42. The Church is encouraged to allow the utilization of the parking lot by neighboring properties during off peak hours. If such an agreement for shared parking is entered into, further reviews would be necessary in order to re-evaluate the intensity of weekend and off peak use. Stacking Distance: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(D)(3)(c)(1), the minimum required stacking distance between a right-of-way and the first parking space or aisleway in a parking lot providing between 21- 50 spaces is 20' for a local street. The applicant has proposed to reduce the required stacking distance to 8' in order to accommodate the proposed 24 spaces and provide the necessary 5' right-of-way dedication. - Waiver Findings: Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the granting body shall make findings that the granting of the waiver: a.) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; b.) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; c.) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and, d.) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. In order to accommodate the 20' of stacking, two or more parking spaces will need to be eliminated, which are necessary to supplement the current deficiency. As NW 5th Avenue is a local street with relatively slow speeds and traffic volumes the reduction is appropriate. Granting the waiver will not negatively impact the surrounding properties as the time of use and days of operation by the Church are opposite that of the surrounding commercial St. Paul's AME Church—Class II Site Plan Modification Page 4 corridor. Further, construction of the parking lot will neither strain public facilities in the area nor create an unsafe situation. Based on this analysis, it is reasonable to believe that a waiver would be granted in a similar circumstance for another applicant or property. Lighting Light pole locations are to be indicated on the site plan and should correspond with those shown on the landscape plan. In addition, a lighting detail and photometric plan are required for submittal with the development of any vacant lot improvement. A photometric plan has been submitted indicating the proposal complies with LDR Section 4.6.8; however, a detail of the proposed lighting which compliments the nature of the surrounding historic properties must be submitted. Provision of lighting locations and fixture details are added as conditions of approval. LDR Section 5.3.1(D) (Right-of-Way Dedication): Pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(2) and the Transportation Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the required right-of-way width for NW 5th Avenue is 60' and 40' currently exists. Pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.1(D)(4), a reduction in right-of-way widths for existing streets may be granted by the City Engineer upon favorable recommendation from the Development Services Management Group (DSMG). Upon reviewing the proposal, DSMG approved a reduction to 50', which will require a 5' right-of-way dedication. An attached condition of approval is that the east 5' of the property be dedicated for NW 5th Avenue right-of-way. This dedication will be incorporated into the proposed NW 5th Avenue streetscape improvements, which are anticipated to occur within the next 18 months. OTHER ITEM: Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan: The adopted Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan anticipates infill development along NW 5th Avenue with buildings fronting along the roadway and parking to the rear of the properties. While this is the desired development scenario, this property has been owned by the Church for many years and has been utilized for parking purposes. The proposed parking lot reduces an existing nonconforming situation. LANDSCAPE PLAN ANALYSIS There is a 25% non-vehicular open space requirement for Community Facilities (CF) zoning, which has been provided. A variety of landscaping is proposed for the perimeter of the site including Gumbo Limbo, Royal Poinciana, Live Oak, Silver Buttonwood, and Mahogany with underplantings that include Dwarf Poinciana, Firebush, Gold Mound, Blue Plumbago, and Wart Fern. Perimeter hedging includes Red Tip Cocoplum along the north property line with Firebush on the west. Along the south property line, the perimeter landscape requirement will be met by utilizing the existing Mahogany trees and Eugenia hedge can be found on the adjacent property [ref. 4.6.16(H)(3)(f)]. However, in the future, if this is removed, the applicant will be required to provide the necessary perimeter landscaping along the southern property line. In addition to the proposed landscaping, along the south side of the property, a sodded retention area will be provided, which enhances the open space. St. Paul's AME Church—Class II Site Plan Modification Page 5 Pursuant to LDR 4.6.16(H)(3)(a), a hedge, wall or other durable landscape area shall be placed along the interior perimeter of the landscape strip that separates the vehicular use area from the adjacent right-of-way (5th Avenue). The proposed Cocoplum hedging shall be relocated to the interior of the landscape area and has been added as a condition of approval. REVIEW BY OTHERS Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) The proposed Class II Site Plan Modification for the development of the vacant parcel to a parking lot was reviewed by the CRA during its meeting on November 14, 2002. No comments or concerns were expressed. Downtown Development Authority (DDA) At its meeting of November 20, 2002, the DDA reviewed and recommended approval of the development proposal. West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC): At its meeting of November 13, 2002, the WARC reviewed and recommended approval of the development proposal. The Board did have some concerns with the project's inconsistency with the adopted Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan, however, the vacant property has been owned by the Church for many years and has been utilizing the land for such purposes. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION The development proposal consists of a 24 space asphalt parking lot centrally located within the commercial corridor of NW 5th Avenue (West Settler's Historic District). The proposed development of the vacant lot will benefit the adjacent property at St. Paul's AME Church by reducing the existing parking deficiency and providing potential parking opportunities for adjacent property owners. The reduction of the required stacking distance can be supported based upon the relatively low number of vehicle trips and speed along NW 5th Avenue as well as the limited number of available parking spaces and the parking demand of the church. Compliance with the Land Development Regulations will occur when the conditions of approval are addressed. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A. Continue with direction. B. Approve the COA and the associated Class II site plan modification and landscape plan for St. Paul's AME Church, 119 NW 5th Avenue, based on positive findings with respect to the Land Development Regulations subject to conditions.

Swinton Avenue ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is approval of a COA and associated Class II Site Plan Modification for Nanny's Attic, designated historic as part of the Old School Square Historic District, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(J). BACKGROUND The subject property consists of the south 4.5' of Lot 11 and the north 70.5' of Lot 12, Block 59, Town of Delray which includes two extant buildings and associated parking areas. Constructed in c.1910 in the frame vernacular style, the contributing 2,165 sq. ft, two-story, main building is currently used as retail space and the associated 960 sq. ft. non-contributing frame garage (outbuilding), built in 1985 (previously used as storage space and parking) is currently proposed as additional retail space for a separate establishment. The property also originally contained a 22'x24' guest cottage which was constructed in 1925. The cottage was subsequently demolished to allow the redevelopment of the property for commercial use. The property is located on the west side of North Swinton Avenue, between NW 1st and NW 2nd Streets, within the Old School Square Historic Zoning District (OSSHAD). On March 10, 1993, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed alternatives to demolition of a contributing guest cottage on the property. The cottage, constructed in 1925, originally encroached into the alleyway which was scheduled for improvements in June 1993. On May 5, 1993, the HPB approved a portion of COA 8-206 for the restoration of the front porch and new paint colors of pale yellow (body), white (trim), and pale orchid (window frame) for the contributing two-story dwelling. At the time, the demolition of the porch had begun prior to the submittal of a COA request for the restoration and demolition of the existing porch however, an exception was made to review and approve a portion of the COA based on the fact that the Site Plan application was submitted with the remainder coming before the Board in a timely manner. During its meeting of June 16, 1993, the Board reviewed and approved the remaining portion of COA 8-206 associated with a Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Design Elements, and two Waiver Requests which included conversion of the two-story, single family home to a craft Meeting Date: December 4, 2002 Agenda Item: III.B. HPB Staff Report Nanny's Attic—Class II Site Plan Modification Page 2 shop, use of a portion of the garage as storage, construction of a parking area, installation of associated landscaping, installation of a fence, and installation of a pole mounted sign. The waiver requests consisted of the reduction of the required five foot (5') wide landscape strip to one foot (1') strip along the north property line adjacent to the parallel parking spaces and an associated waiver to the requirement to install trees within the reduced landscape strip. The Board recommended approval of both waivers to the City Commission. They were approved at the City Commission meeting of June 22, 1993. During the same meeting, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed and approved COA 8-208 to permit the demolition of the contributing guest cottage with the proviso that the demolition be delayed until August 1993 to search for alternatives to demolition. The cottage was subsequently demolished. The current COA and associated Class II Site Plan Modification request is to convert the garage to retail space and is now before the Board for review and approval. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The development proposal consists of the following: ➢ Conversion of a 576 sq. ft. of garage/parking and storage area within the 960 sq. ft. structure to retail space; ➢ The addition of fenestration to the north and west facade of the extant 960 sq. ft. outbuilding; ➢ The addition of one compact parking space and the conversion of one regular nine foot (9') space to an eight foot (8') compact space; ➢ Request to purchase one (1) in-lieu parking space; and, ➢ Associated landscaping including the relocation of a tree to the southwest corner of the existing outbuilding/garage. REQUIRED FINDINGS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(1)(b), a Class II site plan modification is a modification to a site plan which requires no review of the Performance Standards found in LDR Section 3.1.1, but requires action by a Board. LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(5) (Findings): Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(5), formal findings are not required for a Class I or II modification. HPB Staff Report Nanny's Attic—Class II Site Plan Modification Page 3 SITE PLAN MODIFICATION ANALYSIS COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS: Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall be specifically addressed by the body taking final action on the site and development proposal. OSSHAD Parking Requirement Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.24(G)(4), 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 retail space in the main building and storage space in the garage were previously assessed for parking (2,165 sq. ft. + 384 sq. ft. = 2,549 sq. ft. /300 sq. ft. = 9 parking spaces required), which required 9 spaces and 9 were provided on-site. With the conversion of the remaining 576 sq. ft. of the 960 sq. ft. garage (previously designated as two excess parking spaces) to retail space a total of 3,215 sq. ft. of floor area is provided requiring two additional spaces or 11 total spaces (3,125 sq. ft. /300 sq. ft. = 10.41 or 11 spaces). The existing parking area provides five parallel spaces (including the handicapped space) along the north property line with the remaining four spaces provided as back out parking along the alley (west property line). An additional parking space (compact-8' wide) is accommodated within the west parking area by converting a regular (9' wide) space reducing the landscape strip at the southwest corner of the site from 9' to 5' and by re-striping the lot to provide 3 standards spaces (9' wide) and two compact spaces (8' wide). The applicant has requested to provide the remaining parking space through the purchase of an in-lieu parking space as the additional space cannot be accommodated on-site. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.24(G)(5), if it is impossible or inappropriate to provide required parking on-site or off-site, pursuant to Section 4.6.9(E)(4), the in-lieu fee option provided in Section 4.6.9(E)(3) may be collected. The parking requirement may be met by providing an in-lieu parking fee of $6,000 a space [REF: Section 4.6.9(E)(3)(b)(3) — Area 3: Parcels located within the OSSHAD and parcels located within the Pineapple Grove Main Street area which are zoned CBD and CBD- RC]. Purchase of an in-lieu space can:be supported as public parking is available at the Cason Cottage site located approximately 100' south from the subject property. The request for the purchase of an in-lieu space has been scheduled for the December 17, 2002 for the Parking Management Board (PMAB). The PMAB's recommendation will be forwarded to the City Commission at their meeting of January 7, 2003. Approval by the City Commission has been attached as a condition of approval. Based on this analysis, this requirement will be met per LDR Section 4.6.9(E)(3)(b)(3), parcels located within the OSSHAD zoning district and Pineapple Grove Main Street area Proposed Retail Use This modification is proposed in anticipation of a future retail tenant or arts related business. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.24(B)(3), retail sales through specialty shops (single purpose businesses) such as: bath shops, book stores, gift shops, florists, hobby shops, kitchen shops, boutiques, and bicycle shops are permitted. LDR Section 4.4.24(B)(4) also states that all related businesses such as craft shops, galleries, and studios within which is conducted HPB Staff Report Nanny's Attic—Class II Site Plan Modification Page 4 the preparation of, and/or sale of art production such as antiques, collectibles, custom apparel, jewelry, paintings, photography, picture framing, pottery, sculpture, and stained glass are permitted within the OSSHAD. The proposed retail uses in the existing garage will be independent from Nanny's Attic and must be in keeping with the permitted use in the OSSHAD. This has been attached as a condition of approval. In addition, the conversion of the outbuilding/garage must meet current building code requirements as well as those applicable ADA standards. A unisex bathroom must therefore be installed within the proposed retail space in order to meet those standards. Floor plans reflecting the specifications for the bathroom must be submitted with the building permit application. Landscaping The applicant has proposed the relocation of one existing Gumbo Limbo tree, currently located in the south landscape island, to the southwest corner of the garage. All other existing trees are to remain in situ. Throughout the property, landscaping does not meet the current minimum standards nor does it reflect the previously approved Landscape Plan. In order to comply with minimum landscape requirements, new trees and underplantings or sod must be installed according to the previously approved plan per LDR Section 4.6.16(1)(1). This has been attached as a condition of approval. Lighting Lighting has been provided with previous site plan approval for the retail space. No change in exterior lighting is necessary or proposed at this time. DESIGN ELEMENTS/ANALYSIS Design Elements LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(4), (E)(7), and (E)(8) "Development Standards" provides guidelines in evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness for the alteration or addition of exterior architectural features. The guidelines are as follows: The Board Shall Consider: (E)(4) 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. (E)(7) The construction of new buildings or structures, or the relocation, alteration, reconstruction, or major repair or maintenance of a non-contributing building or structure within a designated historic district shall meet the same compatibility standards as any material change in the exterior appearance of an existing non- HPB Staff Report Nanny's Attic—Class II Site Plan Modification Page 5 contributing building. Any material change in the exterior appearance if any existing non-contributing building, structure, or appurtenance in a designated historic district shall be generally compatible with the form, proportion, mass, configuration, building material, texture, color, and location of historic buildings, structures, or sites adjoining or reasonably approximate to the non-contributing building, structure, or site. (E)(8) 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: Proportion of openings (windows and door), rhythm of solids to voids for front facades, and 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. The proposal involves the removal of an existing door and windows on the west elevation to be replaced with 2/2 light, fixed windows as well as the removal of the overhead door and the installation of paired French doors on the north elevation. The new windows and doors are aluminum frame with a multi light configuration which compliments those found on the main historic dwelling. As the style is in keeping with Frame Vernacular style of the structure, positive findings can be made regarding the elevation changes with respect to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(4), (E)(7), (E)(8)(c), (E)(8)(d), and (E)(8)(g), the Delray Beach Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION The proposed addition of 576 sq. ft. of retail space increases the site's parking requirements by two spaces. The applicant proposes to meet this requirement through the re-striping of the existing west parking area to create an additional space (compact space) and through the purchase of an in-lieu space. Approval of the in-lieu fee by the City Commission is a condition of approval. The relocation of the Gumbo Limbo tree in the south landscape island can be supported based on its retention and the new parking configuration. However, all additional site improvements dictate that minimum landscaping requirements be met with respect to LDR Section 4.6.16(1)(1). This has been attached as a condition of approval. The design elements proposed for the garage elevation, including the addition of new fenestration, can be supported based on the non-contributing status of the garage and that the improvements are keeping with the Frame Vernacular style of the structure and the main building. Therefore, positive findings can be made with respect to LDR Section (E)(4), (E)(7), (E)(8)(c), (E)(8)(d), and (E)(8)(g), the City's Design Guidelines, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made with respect to compliance with the Land development Regulations.

BACKGROUND The subject property consists of Lots 5 and 6, Block 70 of the Sundy and Cromer Amended Plat. Constructed in 1958 as a triplex, the 3,124 sq. ft. Masonry Vernacular building is considered non-contributing within the Old School Square Historic District and is zoned OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District). On October 6, 1999, the Board reviewed and approved a COA request to change the roofing material from flat cement tile to composition shingles, repair the parking area, change the exterior paint colors and install associated landscaping. The Board continued the item and directed the applicant to provide a cost analysis for the change in roofing material to determine if replacing the roof with in-kind materials would be an economic hardship. The Board considered the applicant's request during its meeting of November 3, 1999 for the installation of the new composition shingle roof and for the installation of shutters, fencing, driveway and associated landscaping, and a change of exterior paint colors. The Board reviewed the cost analysis and determined that the in-kind replacement of the concrete tile roof would be an undue economic hardship despite the intention of the Board to retain significant architectural features. The dark blue composition shingle roof and related design elements were therefore approved. The applicant is now before the Board for exterior improvements including the installation of arbors, fencing, lattice, and shiplap siding on the front façade. Meeting Date: December 4, 2002 Agenda Item: III.D. 129 South Swinton Avenue Old School Square Historic District Page 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION /ANALYSIS Project Description The development proposal is the addition of design elements including the installation of arbors, fencing, lattice, exterior color change, and shiplap siding on the front façade. The non-contributing triplex displays a front facing gable with unit entrances along the southern elevation. There is currently no distinguishable division between each unit. The owner/applicant is requesting the addition of design elements in order to improve the facade appearance and to differentiate between each unit through the installation of arbors, fencing, and lattice. The arbors measure approximately 8' in height and are 4' wide and are to be aligned parallel with the front façade of the building continuing east at the start of each unit on the northern façade. A single arbor is also proposed to the south of the building aligned with the front façade. Picket fencing measuring 42" in height will run parallel from the edge of the arbors between the building and the property line. Lattice will also be installed between each unit on the south façade to provide privacy and to differentiate the units. The applicant also proposes an exterior color change to Tropic Orange for the body and white for the trim and accents. Also proposed is the installation of shiplap siding on the front façade of the building to conceal the brick facing and stucco exterior and to add dimension to the building's western elevation. Analysis LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(4), (E)(7), and (E)(8)(a-k) "Development Standards" provides guidelines in evaluating Certificates of Appropriateness for the alteration or addition of exterior architectural features. The applicable standards are as follows: (E)(4) 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. (E)(7) The construction of new buildings or structures, or the relocation, alteration, reconstruction, or major repair or maintenance of a non-contributing building or structure within a designated historic district shall meet the same compatibility standards as any material change in the exterior appearance of an existing non-contributing building. Any material change in the exterior appearance if any existing non-contributing building, structure, or appurtenance in a designated historic district shall be generally compatible with the form, proportion, mass, configuration, building material, texture, color, and location of historic buildings, structures, or sites adjoining or reasonably approximate to the non-contributing building, structure, or site. (E)(8) 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 129 South Swinton Avenue Old School Square Historic District Page 3 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. The proposed shiplap siding is only shown on the front façade and without proper specifications that reflect the applicant's intention to retrofit the siding onto the front façade, its installation cannot be justified. A more appropriate treatment for the Masonry Vernacular building style would be to stucco over the existing brick facing in order to give a more fluid finish to the front facade. While the shiplap siding can be found within the Old School Square Historic District, it would be difficult to retrofit the siding over the extant windows, shutters, and A/C unit. Therefore, detailed plans must be submitted for review by the Board before the shiplap could be installed. Further, as the siding is only proposed for the front of the building and not the sides, a detail must be provided that reflects the installation of the siding from both the north and south elevations. Proper framing must be documented in order to ensure a fluid retrofit. Without the documentation to support the installation of the siding, a smooth stucco exterior would be a most feasible alternative for improving the front façade. The other proposed site improvements such as the arbors, fencing, and lattice are in keeping with the appurtenances found within the district and are considered an appropriate and reversible treatment. The proposed color change is a variation of a charted color and can therefore be supported as a reversible treatment to the non- contributing dwelling. Landscaping The proposal must meet the minimum:landscape requirements per LDR Section 4.6.16, prior to the approval of the COA and prior to the issuance of the building permit. This review can be completed administratively. Conclusion As the residential triplex lies within the Old School Square District, appurtenances such as the introduction of arbors, fencing, and lattice to the site as well as the proposed exterior color change are appropriate and acceptable improvements. However, the addition of shiplap siding to the front façade of a Masonry Vernacular building is not appropriate without documentation of the proposed retrofitting and framing. Without such documentation for framing, a feasible alternative would be to stucco over the brick facing. Based on the analysis above, a positive finding with respect to LDR 4.5.1 (E)(4), (E)(7), (E)(8)(g) and (E)(8)(i) can be made for the installation of the arbors, fencing, and lattice, though no such findings can be made to support the installation of the shiplap siding on the front façade without the submittal of specifications.
