the required 12 ' .
It was moved by Mr. Jamison, seconded by Ms . Devitt
and passed 4-0 to approve COA 8-244 (Landscape Plans)
as presented.
V. DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEMS:
A. Recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Board that a
Conditional Use for a Bank in the CBD (Central
Business District) Zoning District be Approved. The
Proposed Bank will be Located at the Southwest Corner
of E. Atlantic Avenue and Palm Square; Marina Historic
District.
Mr. Jamison stated that he had to abstain from voting
as he had a conflict of interest due to his
association with Digby Bridges, Architect for the
project. This resulted in a lack of quorum. As 4
members of the Palm Square Homeowners Association were
present to speak, staff recommended that the Board
take the item as discussion only, no vote on a
recommendation to the Planing and Zoning Board was
taken. Staff informed the visitors that they would be
able to comment on the proposal at the public hearing
which would be held by the Planning and Zoning Board
at their February 27, 1995 meeting.
The Palm Square residents were mainly concerned with
the additional traffic which the project would bring
to the street. They felt that the drive-through
window would cause excess vehicular traffic especially
with respect to the drive-through exit onto Palm
Square at such a close proximity to the corner of E.
Atlantic Avenue. Some questioned if a traffic survey
had been done. All of the residents and 2 Board
members pointed out that many vehicles going east, to
avoid Atlantic Avenue traffic, often continue on the
east-bound bypass to Palm Square and then turn east on
Atlantic Avenue. Suggestions for lessening the
traffic impact were as follows :
* Recommend that the City create an access roadway
from the subject property west to S.E. 7th
Avenue; or,
* Install a cul-de-sac on Palm Square at the
northern boundary of the residential district.
Palm Square Homeowners Association Members Present:
Alieda Riley, Walter Barnard, Noel Smith, Janet

- 2 - 02/15/95
B. Make a Recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Board
with Respect to a Text Amendment to LDR Section
2 .2 .6 (B) (2) , Special Qualifications for Historic
Preservation Board Membership.
There was no consensus on the wording of the LDR text
amendment and the item was tabled. The lack of
consensus revolves around the fact that the State
requires a Certified Local Government (CLG) to have a
professional historic review board to the extent that
professionals are willing to serve, with the balance
being made up of knowledgeable lay people. The Board
feels that professional status should not be a
requirement of Historic Preservation Board membership.
Staff is consulting with the State CLG coordinator in
an attempt to modify the requirements .

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING
FEBRUARY 15, 1995
AGENDA ITEM IV-A
COA 8-244
NEW CONSTRUCTION, DUPLEX
VACANT LOT, SOUTHEAST CORNER OF N.E. 2ND AVENUE AND N.E. 5TH
STREET, DEL-IDA PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT
TONY KELLER, OWNER/APPLICANT
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The action requested of the Board is that of approval of COA
8-244 to allow a 3,310 s. f. duplex to be constructed on Lots 1
and 2 and the west 25 feet of lot 17, Block 7, Del-Ida Park.
The parcel is currently vacant and located at the southeast
corner of N.E. 2nd Avenue and N.E. 5th Street.
BACKGROUND
The vacant parcel contains 15,454 s. f and is located in the RL
(low density residential) Zoning District. The RL District
provides a residential zoning district with flexible densities
having a base of three units per acre and a range to six units
per acre. The RL District provides for implementation of
provisions of Goal Area "C" of the Comprehensive Plan and, more
specifically, Policy C-2 . 1 which calls for providing sites for
single family detached and low density planned residential
development. Duplex structures are a permitted use in the RL
District.
DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS
The project is in compliance with all development standards
required by Section 4 .3 .4 of the LDRs for duplex construction in
the RL district, with the exception of the driveway widths . The
required driveway width is 12 ' and 10 ' wide driveways are
proposed.
The proposed building contains two 3 bedroom dwelling units . The
west unit is 1,596 s. f. and the east unit is 1,714 s . f. Four
parking spaces are required for the project and seven are
provided. A 3 car parking area is located to the south of the
west unit. A detached 2 car garage and a 2 car parking area are
provided for the east unit.
DESIGN ANALYSIS
The proposed 2 story structure is in the "Old Florida
Vernacular" style. The dwelling units are side by side, each
unit has a second floor.

Staff Report
COA 244

West Unit (Rental Apartment)
The front facade of the west unit faces N.E. 2nd Avenue. A two
story bay is proposed south of the front entrance door. The bay
has four windows on the first floor and 2 windows on the second
floor. A two story porch with a traditional baluster railing
extends across the south two thirds of the west elevation.
East Unit (Owner's Apartment)
The entrance to the east unit faces N.E. 5th Street. A two story
porch extends along the north elevation and wraps around the
east elevation. A two story, four window bay is proposed south
of the chimney on the east facade. A 14 ' breezeway connects the
garage to the east apartment.
Exterior elements
* All windows are to be white factory finished aluminum,
single hung with a 6 over one pane configuration.
* Wall finish is to be vinyl or cementitious lap siding,
owner' s option.
* Roof is to be fiber glass shingles or metal, owner's option
due to cost consideration.
* Front entrance doors are to be wood panel, other doors are
to be a combination wood and glass.
* Transoms over entrance doors are to be clear glass or
stained glass with address numbers inserted, owner's
option.
* Shutters are to be wood or resin coated polymer.
* Colors : white with green shutters or yellow with white trim
and green shutters, owner's option.
* There is an optional fireplace indicated on the plans for
the west unit. If installed the upper and lower windows
to the north of the front door (west elevation) would be
eliminated. As the openings of this facade are
asymmetrically arranged, the installation of the chimney
would not interfere with the massing and balance of the
elevation. Staff recommends owner' s option.
Staff Report
COA 244
Page 3
STAFF COMMENTS
There are several exterior elements to be left to the owner' s
discretion. However, the requested options are well within the
guidelines for new construction in historic districts. For
example, if the applicant had specified only a fiberglass
shingle roof it would be appropriate for the Board to approve
it. If the owner can afford to install a metal roof the project
will be enhanced dramatically and the applicant will not have to
return to the Board for approval. With the exception of
exterior color selection, all options are due to cost
consideration.
The applicant, Tony Keller, is familiar with the goals for our
historic districts. He did an excellent job of restoring the
two story yellow and white house at 334 N.E. 1st Avenue, which
has recently been sold. The proposed cementitious lap siding was
utilized on the garage which was constructed in conjunction with
that restoration project. If members are not familiar with the
lap siding they are encouraged to visit the restored site. The
garage is on the east side of the alley west of 334 N.E. 1st
Avenue.
Historically, a Florida vernacular house would have had a shell
rock driveway, or with a more formal yard, cement ribbon strips .
Today, shell rock is not permitted and ribbon strips are
difficult to maintain due to more vehicular traffic. However,
it is appropriate to de-emphasize driveways as much as possible.
Staff suggests that a recommendation to the Engineering
Department be made to allow the driveways to remain at the
proposed 10 ' width rather than the 12 ' width which is required.
Positive findings can be made for this project with respect to
Section 4 .5 . 1 (E) (7) New construction in historic districts,
and (8) Visual compatibility. The Old Florida vernacular style
is compatible with Del-Ida Park's varied and eclectic buildings .
The two story height and the traditional design will complement
the Towers Apartments to the south and create a rhythm along the
N.E. 2nd Avenue block. The proposed structure will make a nice
transition to the contributing Mission Revival house to the east
on N.E. 5th Street. By locating the entrances on different
streets a directional expression of front elevation is
maintained and strengthens the single family residential
character of the immediate neighborhood.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1 . Continue with direction.
2 . Deny COA 8-244, based on a failure to make positive
findings to Section 4 . 5 . 1(E) (7) (8) .
3 . Approve COA 224 , based on positive findings to Section
4 . 5 . 1(E) (7 ) and(8) and Objective A-4 (Land Use Element) of
the Comprehensive Plan.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1 . Approve COA 224, based on positive findings to Section
4 .5 . 1(E) (7) and(8) , and Objective A-4 (Land Use Element) of
the Comprehensive Plan, and
A. Allow the applicant to exercise the requested options.
B. Recommend to the City Engineer that the driveways be
constructed 10 ' in width.

AGENDA ITEM V-A
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is to recommend to the Planning &
Zoning Board that a branch of the Northern Trust Bank be
approved as a conditional use in the CBD (Central Business
District) Zoning District. The proposed bank will be located on
the first floor of a new building to be constructed at the
southwest corner of E. Atlantic Avenue and Palm Square, Marina
Historic District.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The bank building will be located on a vacant parcel which once
housed the Patio Restaurant. See the attached elevations and
site plan for explanation. The portion of the site facing E.
Atlantic Avenue is in the CBD (Central Business District) Zoning
District. The rear of the property, location of the parking
area, is zoned CF (Community Facility) . Banks are allowed only
as a conditional use in the Central Business District.
When a conditional use request falls within an historic district
it is reviewed by the HPB with a recommendation to the P&Z Board
who then recommends to the City Commission that the use be
approved or denied.
-If the -conditional use is approved by the City Commission, the
project will be reviewed by the HPB through the Site Plan and
COA review process .
REVIEW BY OTHERS
This project is being reviewed by the CRA (Community
Redevelopment Agency) , their comments will be available at the
meeting.
A courtesy notice is being sent to the Palm Square Home Owners
Association representative, comments will be available at the
meeting.

there are not enough professionals who apply. Preference
should be given to professional and lay persons who own
property within historic districts or whose property is
individually listed on the Local Register of Historic
Places.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend to the Planning & Zoning Board that the above text
amendment be recommended to the City Commission for a
modification to the City' s Land Development Regulations, Section
2 .2 . 6 (B) (2) .
