III . CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS:
Please Note: For the purpose of record keeping COA 8-221
has been changed to COA S-041.
COA 8-221: Haitian Art Center; 2 S. Swinton Avenue; Old
School Square Historic District; Sharon Koskoff, Agent.
The action requested of the Board is that of approval of
COA S-041 to allow a 20 ' x 25 ' mural to be painted on the
west wall of a contributing building.
The applicant presented two new proposals for the design
and content of the mural. These were not available to the
Board before the meeting and were not included with the
original sketch which was part of the staff report. The
new designs were adapted from photographs of Delray Beach
which are in the Historical Society's archives. While the
Board members generally approved of the new designs they
felt that murals are inappropriate as wall treatments on
the exterior of buildings located within historic
districts .
Sandy Jamison moved for approval of COA 8-221, seconded by
Christine Bull. The vote was as follows: Christine Bull -
Yes; Daniel Carter - No; Sandy Jamison - Yes; Buck Miller -
No; Margie Miller - No; John Vaughan - No. Said motion was
denied 4-2 .
The Board recommended that staff send a letter to
Ms . Koskoff stating the reason for its denial and
expressing the hope that she will be able to find another
building, outside of a historic district, upon which to
paint the mural.
At this point on the agenda (6 :40 P.M. ) Margie Miller left the
meeting.
IV. DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEMS:
A. Church's Fried Chicken Building, Northeast Corner of
N.W. 1st Avenue and W. Atlantic Avenue; Charlotte
Durante & Juan Gavilan, Agents . Discussion only, no
formal action required of the Board.
The focus of the discussion was whether or not it is
appropriate to recommend that a text amendment be
considered to LDR Section 4 .4 . 13(B) (3) Central
Business District (CBD) to permit drive-through
windows in conjunction with a restaurant.
After some discussion the Board concluded that it
would not encourage or recommend a text amendment
which would allow drive-through restaurant windows
within the CBD. The conclusion was based upon the
following:
* The text amendment would impact the entire CBD
district and could cause far-reaching problems
along Atlantic Avenue and the Federal Highways.
For example a drive-through restaurant on
the vacant parcel at the corner of E.
Atlantic Avenue and Palm Square would
negatively impact the neighborhood.
* One of the goals in the CBD district is to
promote and encourage pedestrian traffic.
Drive-through restaurants are not compatible with
pedestrian activities .
However, the Board felt a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet
would be desirable for the proposed location providing the
drive-through window was eliminated and that the exterior
renovations are appropriate to the Old School Square
District.

FROM: PAT CAYCE
�S- 04\
SUBJECT: COA $2-23, AGENDA ITEM III
The attached staff report was prepared for SPRAB for its meeting
of February 23, 1994 . Originally the mural was to be located at
1130 W. Atlantic Avenue and would not have come to the HPB for
review. The applicant was unable to obtain the building owner's
consent and the project was moved to the Old School Square
Historic District location.
At its meeting of February 23, 1994 SPRAB reviewed the project
and did not recommend its approval to the CRA. While SPRAB had
no objection to the concept of a mural, it felt that the
symbolic logos intended to represent the community groups were
unclear and that the theme might better depict some of the
City's history .
The CRA Board will review the mural at its meeting tonight. The
Board's comments and recommendations will be presented to you at
the HPB meeting. A color rendering of the mural will also be
available at the meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Board' s Discretion
If the Board approves the mural, the motion should read:
Approve the All America City Mural based upon positive
findings pursuant to LDR Section 4 .6 .7 (D) (3) (p) Signs, and
Section 4 .5. 1(E) (8) (g)and(k) (Historic Preservation) Visual
Compatibility, with conditions:
1. That a recommendation of approval from the CRA be
obtained prior to painting the mural; and
2 . That the applicant provide acknowledgment from the
various organizations authorizing the use of their
logos in the mural.
Note:
Section 4 .6 .7(D) (3) (p) Signs is quoted in the SPRAB staff
report.
SITE PLAN REVIEW AND APPEARANCE BOARD
AGENT: Sharon Koskoff
PROJECT NAME: All America City Mural
PROJECT LOCATION: SE Corner of Swinton Avenue and Atlantic
Avenue (Haitian Art Center Building)
I . ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD:
The item before the Board is approval of a color change to the
exterior of an existing commercial building pursuant to LDR
Section 4 .6 . 18 (Architectural Elevations) and LDR Section
4 .6 .7 (D) (3) (p) (Signs) .
II . BACKGROUND:
The applicant wishes to paint a mural on the west side of
the Haitian Art Center Building, located at 2 Swinton Avenue.
The mural is to be painted on a wall which is approximately 20'
high x 25 ' wide. The proposed theme of the mural is to be a
symbolic representation of Delray Beach community groups,
organizations, festivals, and arts and attractions which make
Delray Beach an "All America City" . The colors are to include
"tropical pastels" mixed with richer accents of "rainbow
colors" . The project is being financed through a grant from The
Palm Beach County Cultural Council.
LDR Section 4 .6 .7(D) (3) (p) Murals, states the following: A
large painting or drawing affixed to the wall of a building
located in commercially zoned districts may be permitted by
the Chief Building Official following approval by the Site
Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) . The mural shall
not directly represent or constitute advertisement of the
goods, products, or services provided on site.
It can be determined that the mural meets the above requirement
as it will not represent or advertise goods or products which
are sold at the Haitian Art Center. The Chief Building Official
has no objections to the mural if approved by SPRAB.
AGENDA ITEM: IV.B.

III . REVIEW BY OTHERS:
The CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) reviewed the general
concept of an "All America City" mural, and color scheme at its
meeting of February 10, 1994 . The CRA did not have any problems
with the mural. However, requested that the owner's consent be
obtained, and that permission be given to use the various
logo's .
The applicant was not able to obtain the owner's consent at the
building located at 1130 W. Atlantic Avenue. Thus, the mural
has been relocated to a building located at 2 Swinton Avenue,
and that owner has given his consent. This new location has not
been reviewed by the CRA. If the SPRAB wishes to approve the
mural, it should be conditioned on the applicant obtaining a
recommendation of approval by the CRA prior to painting the
mural (this item has been scheduled for the CRA meeting of
February 24, 1994) .
IV. RECOMMENDATION:
Board's Discretion
* If the Board approves the mural, the motion should read:
Approve the All America City Mural based upon positive
findings pursuant to LDR Section 4 .6. 18 (Architectural
Elevations) , and LDR Section 4.6.7(D) (3) (p) (Signs) with
conditions:
a. That a recommendation of approval from the CRA be
obtained prior to painting the mural; and
b. That the applicant provide acknowledgment from the
various organizations authorizing the use of their
logo's in the mural.

STAFF REPORT
HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING
MARCH 2, 1994
AGENDA ITEM IV
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE BOARD
This is a discussion item only. No formal action is required.
FOCUS OF THE DISCUSSION
The focus of this discussion is whether or not it is appropriate
to recommend that a text amendment be considered to LDR Section
4 .4 . 13 (B) ( 3) Central Business District (CBD) to permit
drive-through windows in conjunction with a restaurant.
A proposal has been made to establish a restaurant in the old
Church' s Fried Chicken building and utilize the drive-through
window. The building is located on the northeast corner of N.W.
1st Avenue and West Atlantic Avenue in Block 60, Lots 13 & 14 in
the OSSHAD Zoning District. However, Section 4 .4 .24 (B) (9 ) (a)
OSSHAD states that Lots 13 - 16 of Block 60 are to be permitted
the same uses as described in the CBD. Pursuant to Section
4 .4 . 13 (B) (3) CBD Zoning District, "restaurants, excluding
drive-in and drive-through" are permitted uses, thus -
drive-through windows are not permitted. A text amendment to the
LDRs would be necessary in order to establish drive-through
windows as a permitted use in the CBD.
The drive-through window was a permitted use when Church's
restaurant was established in 1978, but it has been a
non-conforming use since September 1, 1990. Pursuant to Section
1 . 3 .5 (B) Non-Conforming Uses; "when a nonconforming use is
discontinued or abandoned for a continuous period of 180 days,
every subsequent use shall be in conformity with the
requirements for the zoning district in which it is located" .
Church' s restaurant has been closed for several years and
therefore does not qualify as a permitted non-conforming use.
Jaun Gavilan, a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchisee is interested
in leasing the building for a KFC outlet. I have talked to Mr.
Gavilan and he assures me that KFC would be willing to modify
its signature building design and signage and to work with the
HPB to create an appropriate facade for the OSS historic
district. However, staff has recommended that the applicant not
pursue the building design modification until the question of
use is determined.

AGENDA ITEM IV-A
COA 8-215
Sloan Hammock
106-114 S.E. 7th Avenue, Marina Historic District
Daniel Sloan, agent and owner of Hammock Partners and Historic
Partners
This is a proposal to develop a 5 unit residential rental complex
on a 3 lot parcel in the RM zoning district. The parcel consists
of a non-contributing triplex on the south lot; a vacant lot in
the center; and a contributing single family residence on the
north lot. The applicant proposes to renovate the triplex and
the contributing residence; and construct a new single family
residence and 3 car garage.
The development proposal requests variances from the Land
Development Regulations; recommendation of waivers; and COA
approval. This staff report relates to COA 8-215.

SITE PLAN

DESIGN ELEMENTS
To clarify the design review please refer to the "Master Site
Plan" on page 3 of the Architectural Design Package to relate
the various elevations, A, B, C, etc. to the site.
Hammock House, elevations A,B,C and D.
Hammock House will be created by renovation and additions to the
existing single story non-contributing triplex. With the
exception of the 5' wide porch on the north facade (elevation
B) , the footprint of the existing triplex remains the same.
The triplex will have a 2nd floor addition; the east and
west units will be 23' high at the peak of the gable. The
center unit has a 2nd story opposing gable 27 ' high and a
3rd story widow's walk extending another 8 ' for a total
height of 35 ' , which is maximum allowed in the RM zoning
district.
The structure will have horizontal siding, of either vinyl
or wood. The owner is requesting Board approval for the
option to choose either material, depending on price and
availability.
All windows, with the exception of four 1'x 1' fixed pane
windows on the 2nd floor of elevation B, will be 2 over 2
single hung aluminum with a white factory finish. All
window surrounds are to be wood with a white painted
finish.
All French doors will be the same style, either single
light or 5 pane configuration, and the owner is requesting
approval for the option, depending on price and
availability. The specification sheet indicates that all
doors will be painted blue. The material for the French
doors, wood or metal, has not been provided. All door
surrounds will be wood with a white painted finish. The 3
front doors will be wood paneled as indicated on the
elevations.
The porch columns and corner boards are to be wood with a
white painted finish. The siding under the gable pediments
is to be vertical V jointed wood painted white.
The roof will be 2' wide natural aluminum panels with a V
crimp.
Staff Report
COA 8-215
Page 3
All railings will be rectangular aluminum with a white
factory finish and a wood cap. All porch floors will be
natural pressure treated wood.
The main color is to be peach, all trim and windows will be
white and the doors blue. Color samples will be available
at the meeting.
Analysis of Hammock House with respect to
Section 4 .5. 1(E) ( 1), Development Standards.
Pursuant to Section 4.5. 1(E) (1) (a) , the basic architectural
style and general design elements of Hammock House are
appropriate to the Marina Historic District and the surrounding
properties. However, the scale and mass of the building, the
height, and the east facade, elevation A (street view) do not
conform to the development standards.
Pursuant to Section 4 .5. 1(E) (8) (a) Height, the height of
buildings shall be visually compatible in comparison or
relation to the height of existing structures and
buildings.
Section 4 .5. 1(E) (8) (b) , Front facade proportion: The front
facade of each building or structure shall be visually
compatible with and in direct relationship to the width of
the buildings and to the height of the front elevation of
other adjacent or adjoining buildings within a historic
district.
While the east facade, elevation A, is not the front of the
structure, it is necessary for the Board to review it as
such as it is the view presented to the street.
The 35' foot high widow's walk and elevated roofline of the
center unit are interesting and imaginative but they negatively
impact both the streetscape and the property to the south,
elevation D. The massiveness of the structure is compounded by
the fact that the existing triplex does not conform to the side
setback requirement of 15 ' . Though only 10' from the property
line, the south wall of Hammock House will rise to a height of
27 ' and the widow's walk will contribute an additional 8' to the
roof for a total height of 35' , (see the site plan for
explanation) .
One solution might be to lower the center unit's roof height to
conform to the other two units and allow the widow's walk to
remain, as it is set back approximately 10 ' from the south
facade.
Staff Report
COA 8-215
Page 4
Pursuant to Section 4 .5. 1(E) (8) (c) , Proportion of openings
(windows and doors) and (d) Rhythm of solids to voids
The placement and size of the windows presented to the street,
elevation A, is poor with respect to proportion and detract from
the interesting center pediment and columns. Perhaps if the
square windows on the second story were lengthened and the
windows between the columns were made more prominent, the west
facade could be brought into conformity with the Development
Standards.
The porch railing design is appropriate. However any pressure
treated wood, as indicated for the porches should be painted
when visible from the street.
P & C Cottage, elevations I, J, K and L.
The architectural style of the cottage is the same as that of
Hammock House and is appropriate for the Marina Historic
District. All building and detailing materials, e.g. windows,
surrounds, doors, railings, are the same- as those used for
Hammock House. The siding and trim will be white and the doors
blue.
Analysis of P & C Cottage with respect
to Section 4.5. 1(E) Development Standards.
P & C cottage is located approximately 60' from the front property
line and is centered on the three lot parcel. Its massing and
height does not adversely effect the adjoining properties to the
north and south. The 60' setback from the street brings the
height into proportion and tends to act as balance to the bulky
Hammock House to the south.
The east facade which is presented to the street, elevation I,
generally conforms to paragraph (8) (c) proportions of openings.
The porches, . railings, and distance from the street tend to
mitigate the lack of rhythm and proportion to the windows and
doors of the street elevation.
The window wall and door on elevation L is probably necessary to
allow light into the interior living room. The window wall is not
visible from the street and can be accepted as presented. The
same is true of the inappropriate window size and placement on
elevation K.
In staff's opinion, P & C Cottage is in sufficient conformity
with Section 4.5. 1(E) (8) to be approved as presented.
New Construction of a 3 car garage, Elevations, Q,R,S & T.
This is a rectangular building with a flat roof, 3 car bays, 3
pedestrian doors and no windows. It will have a stucco finish to

Staff Report

match the historic residence. The garage doors will be steel
with a 6 panel configuration and the pedestrian doors to the
east will be the same material and style. The main color is to
be peach and the trim white.
• Analysis with respect to section with respect to
Section 4.5. 1(E) (8)
The parapet design of the roof is appropriate to the Mission
revival style of the historic residence. Wood paneled doors
would be more appropriate for the east facade but as they are
not visible from the street they may be accepted as presented.
Please review staff's comments with respect to the variance
request for additional analysis of the garage.
Historic residence renovation, Elevations U,V,W & X.
Built in 1925 in the Mission Revival style, this is one of the
oldest houses in the Marina Historic District. The applicant
will reconfigure the interior spaces. Proposed changes to the
building's exterior will be mainly to the east and north facades
and are as follows:
The existing garage doors will be replaced with wood French
doors. An 8' x 10' pergola type trellis will overhang the
French doors. The louvered openings on the east facade will
be replaced with double hung wood windows with a 5 over 1
pane configuration.
A new 4 'x 6 ' entrance roof and stoop will be constructed
for the front door. The roof is to be terra cotta colored
S tile with exposed rafters. The support columns are to be
smooth wood and new steps will be concrete. A new flush
wood door will be installed and an aluminum screen door
with a decorative "old Florida" motif will complete the
entrance.
Shed type awnings in blue and white stripe "Sunbrella"
fabric and wooden window boxes are to be installed at the
front windows.
The north facade will have new 5 over 1 wood windows. A
pair of wood French doors with awnings above will flank the
fireplace. A pressure treated wood deck approximately 8 'x
12 ' is to extend from the French doors. The deck
encroaches into the side setback and and must be built at
grade level to comply with the setback requirements.
The main color will be peach, the trim white and the doors
blue.
Analysis of the Historic House proposal
Fortunately the applicant is sensitive to the Marina Historic
District and is interested in preserving the historic house. He
• Staff Report
COA 8-215 •
Page 6
stated in his letter of application that the goal of the project
is to create a complex that utilizes the historical structure
as the focal point and incorporates a modern interpretation of
Florida Vernacular in the new and renovated surrounding
structures. Because the historic house is to be the focal point
of the development, the Board must be satisfied that the
renovations conform to the development standards of Section
4.5. 1(E) .
The pergola type trellis and French doors on the east are
appropriate and will enhance the asymmetric front facade.
Enclosing the original front porch with windows is
generally not recommended, but has been allowed in the
past. Staff has seen, but does not have a photo of, an
alternative front porch window treatment for the Mission
style. The porch openings were enclosed with glass panels
and a decorative wooden grill was installed on the outside
of the glass. The screen door was grilled to match the
openings and the effect was quite similar to an open porch.
See Design Guidelines, page 35.
Window boxes are not associated with the Mission style and
approval will be left to the Board's discretion.
The shed awnings in "Sunbrella" are inappropriate and
�11 should be of a canvas type fabric with a front drop.
The flush front door is inappropriate and should be
paneled. The proposed aluminum screen door is not in
keeping with the age of the house. This type of screen door
is associated with the construction of the 1930's and 40 's
and detracts from the entrance. The screen door should
have a wood frame without the "old Florida" decoration.
Design Guidelines, page 45.
The new entrance porch is in the Mediterranean Revival
style and is not appropriate for this house. An
appropriate entrance way would be one more in keeping with
the Mission style. A simple awning or pent tiled roof over
the enlarged stoop would be a good choice. Originally the
house probably had a continuous barrel tile pent roof over
the porch openings and the front door. If a more
substantial porch type entrance is desired, a stuccoed
single arch opening with a barrel tile roof would be
interesting. If roof tiles are to be used they should be
clay or cement barrel tile and not the S style which is
proposed. Design Guidelines, page 17.
Other Items
The pressure treated wood walkways used throughout the project
are inappropriate to this development. Scored cement, cement
pavers, or brick is the material of choice. See Design
Guidelines, page 45.

The proposed picket fence is not appropriate for the
Mission style but is a good choice for the two lots to the
south. A masonry wall and arched entranceway would be
would be more acceptable. Design Guidelines, page 46 .
