MEMORANDUM
DATE: NOVEMBER 8, 1990
TO: HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
FROM: PAT CAYCE
SUBJECT: STAFF COMMENTS ON ITEMS BEFORE THE BOARD FOR THE MEETING
OF WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1990
1 . Roll Call
2 . COA 8-60A Continuation 26 Lake Court, Eva or William Dezearn,
Owners .
Re-roof with same material.
The existing roof is asphalt shingle and was originally grey. The
owner will replace it with the same material.
An historic comment for your interest, this bungalow was built in
1925 and served for many years as the rectory for the First Methodist
Church of Delray.
3 . COA 8-142 101 Dixie Blvd. , Estate of Edward Carpenter,
Presented by Marty Yedvarb, Modern Roofing Co. ,
Authorized Agent.
Re-roof with same material.
The existing roof is wood shingle and the trustees for the estate
will replace with same material .
Eddy Carpenter, who was a great supporter of historic preservation
in Del-Ida Park, died of a heart attack last month. His mother
built the house in 1939 and he wintered here as a young man and
later made it his full time residence. He told me a great deal
about the neighborhood as he remembered it in the 1940s and was a
great help when we were writing the designation report for the
district.
4 . COA 8-143 330 N.E. 1st Avenue, Eileen Baker, Pamela Turner,
Wayne Meyer, Owners. Presented by Robert Turner,
Authorized Agent.
Re-roof, Exterior Paint, Fence, New Front Door.
As you will see when you drive past, the house has already been
painted and a new front door has been installed. I spoke with
Robert Turner and he told me that his daughter failed to tell him
that he needed approval from the Board before proceeding. He said
that he had rehabed his property in Pineapple Grove and thought that
2
he could do the same on N.E. 1st Avenue. I am at a loss to
understand this as I talked to his daughter several weeks ago and I
received her completed COA application on November 1, 1990 . However,
it is fortunate that the paint, trim and front -door are appropriate
and acceptable.
The owners are asking approval for the following:
Paint the asphalt shingle roof white and at a later date replace the
roof with white asphalt shingles .
Paint the existing fence on the north property line white. Install
a 3 or 4 foot high white picket fence along the front of the
property line.
Install 1"x 3" facing trim around the lower front jalousie windows,
to be painted blue, to give continuity to upper and lower storey.
At a later date, remove the jalousies and replace them with double
hung aluminum windows, also to be painted blue.
The applicants will return to the Board for parking location and
surfacing at a later date.
Staff recommends approval . However, the Board should give the
applicant to choice of installing wood windows on the lower storey,
if financially feasible. An example can be made in favor of wood by
looking at the house to the north.
5 . COA 8-144 120 N.E. 1st Avenue, Frank McKinney, Owner.
Rehabilitation/Restoration, Including, Roof,
Exterior Paint, Windows, Fence, Parking and Required
Landscaping.
This is a two storey Mediterranean revival building with 5
apartments, it is located on the rear of the property line and was
built in 1925 . Proposed changes to the exterior are as follows .
Pressure clean and repaint exterior cream with terra cotta colored
trim. Color chips available at the meeting.
Original wood windows repaired or replaced to match originals .
Barrel tile roofs to be installed over porches . Barrel tile roof
trim to be added to parapet.
Brick pavers similar to Atlantic Avenue to be placed around the
3
building. The original concrete drive will be retained and 6
parking spaces will be provided at right angles to the south
property line. The parking is to be white rock and the wheel stops
will be wooden. The existing plants to the south will be maintained
and a 4 foot hedge will be planted at the west side of the sidewalk,
south of the curb cut, to screen the parking from view. The front
and north property lines will have a 3 or 4 foot white picket fence
installed.
Staff recommends approval . 4+ Ca•DC2)
Consider Granting a Waiver from Section 4 .4 .g6- to Allow Parking in
the Front Yard.
Section 4 .4 . 76 allows parking only in the rear or side yard. This is
not possible because of the location of the building, therefore a
waiver is requested by the applicant to accommodate parking in the
front yard.
Staff recommends approval .
6 . COA 8-141 325 S.E. 7th Avenue, David Riekse, Owner.
Consider demolition of above noted residence.
This single family residence at 325 S.E. 7th Avenue was designed by
Nels S. Jacobson for Mr. and Mrs T.W. Boykin, Jr. and was built in
1938 . It is a colonial revival cottage which was a very popular
architectural style, especially for winter residents, in Delray
Beach during the 1930s and 40s .
The house was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. William Clark Arkell and in
1941 a substantial addition was constructed from plans drawn by the
New York City architectural firm of Magill Smith. Mr. Arkell was
the chairman of the Beechnut Company (baby food, etc. ) which was
founded by his father, Bartlett Arkell.
The house was later bought by the Owsley family who added a Florida
room and other additions .
Mr. Riekse has prepared a booklet regarding his demolition request
which he tells me he has delivered to the HPB members . The booklet
contains photos of the style of homes he plans to build as well as a
sample site plan for the proposed 3 lots. This is a conceptual plan
which does not adequately address setbacks and other required items
and should not be regarded as a final site plan. Nor should you
consider this site plan when deciding on demolition approval .
4
The booklet also contains a list of names and addresses of neighbors
who favor demolition. Seventeen of the addresses appear to be
outside the Marina Historic District. See attached.
At the HPB' s instruction a letter of notification was sent to all
property owners in the District. One letter opposed to the
demolition has been received, none in favor. See attached.
Mr Riekse' s final platting for 3 lots on his property will come
before the City Commission on Tuesday, November 13, 1990 . The City
Manager is recommending approval with conditions pertaining to
sidewalk right of way and upgrading of the water main along S .E. 7th
Avenue. Please note Kathy Dearden's letter of October 26, 1990,
which is attached.
The house in question is an important link to Delray Beach' s
unique, affluent, winter resort community during the 1930s and 40s.
While the house probably would not qualify for National Register
designation it is an excellent, and one of the last remaining,
examples of the "cottages" built along Delray' s Intracoastal
Waterway. It is in harmony with its location and certainly is a
vital contributor to the Marina Historic District.
If approval for demolition is denied Mr. Riekse may appeal the
HPB' s decision to the City Commission.
Staff recommends denial of demolition.
7 . COA Pre-Application 250 Royal Court, Betty Tomelleri, Owner
Sign Design and Location
This building was built by Charles Toth, Architect, for his office.
He is in the process of selling it to Dr. and Mrs Tomelleri for use
as a professional office.
8 . COA 8-119 Continuation 840 E. Atlantic Avenue, Bridge
Restaurant
Consider Exterior Light Fixtures
Light fixtures to replace existing and missing fixtures on the east
side of the exterior of the restaurant. Also light fixtures to
replace existing pole mounted globe lights in driveway area.
Samples will be available at the meeting.

9 . Consider Plaques to replace Dual Street Signs for
"Banker' s Row"
Several new owners on N.E. 1st Avenue have listed their addresses
with the Post Office as "Banker's Row" rather than N.E. 1st Avenue.
The Post Office is not amused and has suggested that the City remove
the signs from the sign posts. David Kovacs, Director of P&Z has
suggested that this be done as quickly as possible. See attached.
