Alvarez Historic Preservation Planner Posted on: January 26, 2011 l HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT Applicant: Larry Lipnick Authorized Agent: Robert Currie, Currie Sowards Aguila Architects Property Address: 150 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District HPB Meeting Date: February 2, 2011 File No.: 2011-053 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is the consideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) and Variance request to the front (north) setback requirement associated with the installation of a swimming pool on the property located at 138 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Sections 2.2.6(D) and 2.4.6(H). BACKGROUND & PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property consists of Lot 9, less the West 60' and less the east 5' thereof, together with the North 26.5' of Lot 10, less the West 60' and less the East 5' thereof, Block 67, Delray Beach, and is located on the southwest corner of NE 1st Avenue and NE 2nd Street. Located within the Old School Square Historic District, the property is also zoned Old School Square Historic Arts District (OSSHAD). A circa 1978, one-story residence was demolished in January 2002, and the property remained vacant until the recent construction of a single-family residence. At its meeting of December 5, 2001, the HPB approved demolition of the non-contributing residence, and at its meeting of February 20, 2002, the HPB approved a COA and associated Class V site plan, landscape plan, design elements and variance for the construction of a two- story, 2,400 square foot office building. The approved variance reduced the required side street building setback (east property line) from 15' to 10'. The site plan approval expired in 2003 and the project was never undertaken. In 2004, a new COA and Class V Site Plan Application were submitted for the construction of a three-story office building on the vacant lot. The request was approved by the HPB at its meeting of April 21, 2004. However, the construction of the new development never began and the approval expired. At the HPB Meeting of August 19, 2010, a COA (2010-134) for the redevelopment of the property was approved and consisted of the following: • Construction of a two-story single-family residence; • Installation of eight (8) parking spaces associated with the Atlantic Ocean Club, located off-site at 217-219 East Atlantic Avenue; • Installation of five (5) on-street parking spaces (combined) along NE 2nd Street and NE 1st Avenue; • Associated site improvements such as landscaping, fencing, and hardscaping; • Waiver to reduce the required depth of the landscape buffer along the south and west property lines; • Waiver to reduce the required driveway width; and, • Waiver to reduce the sight visibility triangle requirement along NE 1st Avenue. 150 NE 1'`Avenue,2011-053 HPB Meeting of February 2,2011 ° • Page 2 of 6 It is noted that the HPB considered the aforementioned waivers and made a positive recommendation for each waiver to the City Commission, who approved the requests at their September 7, 2010 meeting. The subject request is for the installation of a swimming pool, hardscaping associated with the pool deck, and a revision to the previously approved fence type and location. The swimming pool, which measures 40' x 10', is proposed in the front yard of the single-family residence, approximately ten feet (10') from the north property line located along NE 2nd Street. Aside from the entry steps at the west side, there are no additional features (i.e waterfall) associated with the swimming pool. A paver deck surrounds the swimming pool. A wood, picket style fence is proposed to replace the previously approved wood, shadowbox fence. The approved height of four feet (4') is being maintained, while the location is now setback approximately two feet (2') from the north and east property lines and angled at the corner to provide additional visibility (vehicular and pedestrian) at the intersection. The subject COA request is now before the Board for consideration. ANALYSIS: DESIGN ELEMENTS & SITE PLAN, 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. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.4(K), Development Standards, properties located within the OSSHAD zoning district are required to provide a minimum amount of Open Space, as follows: Required I Proposed Open Space (Non-vehicular) 25% 26.1% STAFF COMMENT: The proposed improvements maintain compliance with the Open Space requirement as 26.1% is proposed. Therefore, positive findings can be made with respect to the subject criteria. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H)(5), Prior to approval, a finding must be made that any Certificate of Appropriateness which is to be approved is consistent with Historic Preservation purposes pursuant to Objective A-4 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan and specifically with provisions of Section 4.5.1, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. . Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E), Development Standards, all development regardless of use within individually designated historic properties and/or properties located within historic districts, whether contributing or noncontributing, residential or nonresidential, shall comply with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, these regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(8), Visual Compatibility Standards, all improvements to contributing buildings, structures and appurtenances thereto within a designated historic district shall be visually compatible. In addition to the Zoning District Regulations, the Historic Preservation Board shall apply the visual compatibility standards provided for in this and other criteria set forth elsewhere in Section 4.5.1. 150 NE 1':Avenue,2011-053 HPB Meeting of February 2,2011 Page 3 of 6 The following Visual Compatibility Standards apply: (g) Relationship of Materials, Texture, and Color: The relationship of materials, texture, and color of the facade of a building and/or hardscaping shall be visually compatible with the predominant materials used in the historic buildings and structures within the subject historic district. (i) Walls of Continuity: Walls, fences, evergreen landscape masses, or building facades, shall form cohesive walls of enclosure along a street to ensure visual compatibility with historic buildings or structures within the subject historic district and the structure to which it is visually related. STAFF COMMENT The proposed improvements are not contrary to the Standards noted above in that the materials and fence type are appropriate and compatible with the new development and the historic district. Therefore, positive findings can be made with respect to the subject criteria with the submittal of a fence specification for the file. • Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.15(G)(1), Swimming Pool, Whirlpools, & Spas: Yard Encroachment, swimming pools, the tops of which are no higher than grade level, may extend into the rear, interior or street side setback areas but no closer than ten feet (10) to any property line...Swimming pools shall not extend into the front setback area noted in Section 4.3.4(K). Required Proposed Front Setback (North) OSSHAD ZoninI 25' 10' Side Street Setback (East) 10' i 13'11" Side Interior Setback (West) 10' ( 12' 2" STAFF COMMENT As illustrated in the chart above, the proposed swimming pool encroaches fifteen feet (15') into the required front setback area. Therefore, a variance to the setback requirement has been requested and is analyzed below. VARIANCE ANALYSIS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.2.6(D), the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) shall act on all variance requests within an historic district, or on a historic site, which otherwise would be acted upon by the Board of Adjustment. Prior to granting a variance, HPB must make the following findings pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(A)(5): (a) That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not generally applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings subject to the same zoning (The matter of economic hardship shall not constitute a basis for the granting of a variance); (b) That literal interpretation of the regulations would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties subject to the same zoning; (c) That the special conditions and circumstances have not resulted from actions of the applicant; (d) That granting the variance will not confer into the applicant any special privilege that is denied to other lands, structures, and buildings under the same zoning. Neither the permitted, nor nonconforming use, of neighborhood lands, structures, or buildings under the same zoning shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance; (e) That the reasons set forth in the variance petition justify the granting of the variance, and that the variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure; and, 150 NE 1'`Avenue,2011-053 HPB Meeting of February 2,2011 Page4of6 (t) That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with general purpose and intent of existing regulations will not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(J), in acting on a variance request the Board may also be guided by the following as an alternative to the above criteria: (1) That a variance is necessary to maintain the historic character of property through demonstrating that: (a) A variance would not be contrary to the public interest, safety, or welfare; (b) Special conditions and circumstances exist, because of the historic setting, location, nature, or character of the land, structure, appurtenances, sign, or building involved, which are not applicable to other lands, structures, appurtenances, signs, or buildings in the same zoning district, which have not been designated as historic sites or a historic district nor listed on the Local Register of Historic Places; (c) Literal interpretation of the provisions of existing ordinances would alter the historic site to such an extent that it would not be feasible to preserve the historic character, of the historic district or historic site; and, (d) The variance requested is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character of a historic site or a historic district. VARIANCE REQUEST: The following is an excerpt from the attached statement of support for the variance request: "...We are requesting a reduction of the setback to 10'to allow the pool only to be in the yard and not encroach on the front setback...Because of the compact size of the site, the yard area remaining that would function as the backyard where the family would enjoy their leisure time together is the front setback area. The front door of the house is on NE 15t Street, so the proposed pool would actually be in the "side" yard...The variance would enhance the aesthetic appeal of the new residence and surrounding properties. Because of the site downtown in the Old School Square Historic Arts District the piece of land is quite small for a single family home, measuring 66.11'x103, it was one of the few remaining vacant lots in the downtown area. Therefore, the variance requested is the minimum necessary to effect the adaptive reuse of an existing site (converting a once vacant piece of land into a family home with outdoor recreation)." VARIANCE ANALYSIS: As noted above, the HPB may use the criteria in LDR Section 4.5.1(J) as an alternative to the criteria considered by the Board of Adjustment in Section 2.4.7(A)(5). The "alternative criteria" permits the HPB to grant variances as a way of providing additional flexibility for development requests associated with contributing, or historic, properties. This "planning tool" has proven effective in maintaining the historic character of those contributing properties whose owners have sought to improve or adaptively reuse the historic structure, with requests such as adding a living room or detached garage, and/or accommodating a commercial use on a property initially developed and historically utilized as a single-family residence. Considering the absence of a historic structure on the subject property, the alternative criteria provided in Section 4.5.1(J) are not applicable or appropriate as special conditions or circumstances do not exist due to the historic development of the property, and the variance is not the "minimum necessary to preserve the historic character" of the site or district." Therefore, the appropriate criteria for the HPB to consider is that of LDR Section 2.4.7(A)(5), which has been analyzed as follows: (a) Special conditions and circumstances must exist relative to the peculiarity of the land, structure, or building involved. Since the property is currently being redeveloped in accord 150 NE 1' Avenue,2011-053 HPB Meeting of February 2,2011 Page 5 of 6 VARIANCE ANALYSIS CONTINUED: with plans approved by the HPB as recent as August 19, 2010, the swimming pool should have been considered when creating the overall development plans for the site; (b) Literal interpretation of the regulations would not deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties subject to the same zoning, as any new development of vacant land would likely be required to meet the same front setback requirement. While the applicant may argue that the property to the south (138 NE 1st Avenue) received a variance for the location of a swimming pool within the front setback (located at 20'), the two situations cannot be compared. The property at 138 NE 1st Avenue contains a contributing structure built in 1925 which was maintained and rehabilitated with the recent improvements to the property. In order to appropriately add onto the historic structure, which is setback approximately 42' from the original front property line, all new construction was required at the back of the property, thereby forcing the swimming pool into the front. Further, the five foot (5') encroachment into the front setback was merely a result of the City's requirement to dedicate five feet (5') of property along NE 1st Avenue; (c) The special conditions and circumstances have resulted from actions of the applicant with the construction of a single-family residence and accommodation of additional parking spaces at the rear which have already proven that the site is very compact and limiting, as relief to certain requirements associated with landscaping and parking was necessary; (d) Granting of the requested variance would "confer into the applicant any special privilege that is denied to other lands,...under the same zoning." As previously noted, similar requests would not likely be supported, as they are found to be consistently appropriate for those properties preserving a historic structure, as opposed to developing a property from the ground up; (e) The reasons set forth in the variance petition do not justify the granting of the variance, and the variance is not the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land in that reasonable use of the land has already been proven by the approval of the single- family residence and off-site parking lot presently under construction; and, (f) The granting of the variance will not be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of existing regulations, and will either be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. First, the close proximity of the swimming pool to the public rights of way along both NE 1st Avenue and NE 2nd Street will be distracting to pedestrians and drivers, alike. While the required side-street setback of 10' has been met with a setback of 13'11", the detriment to the public welfare would not be apparent if the swimming pool were setback the required 25' from the front property line, significantly reducing any impact and visibility along the streetscape. Additionally, the only barrier or screening between the subject property and the public sidewalk will be landscaping and a fence, limited to a maximum height of four feet (4'); this is an appropriate height within a historic district, and even more so, due to the location of the subject property on a highly visible corner within the City's downtown. Should the subject request be approved, it is anticipated that a follow-up request will likely be submitted to propose the installation of additional (albeit inappropriate) screening in order to provide privacy for those utilizing the swimming pool. While this is merely speculation, Staff feels it is necessary to point out this concern to the Board. Given the above, the variance request is not supportable, and positive findings cannot be made pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(J)(1) or 2.4.7(A)(5). 150 NE 1'`Avenue.2011-053 HPB Meeting of February 2,2011 Page 5 of 6 PUBLIC NOTICE Formal public notice has been provided to the property owners within a 500-foot radius of the subject property.

The code states: "Swimming pools, the tops of which are no higher than grade level, may extend Into the rear, Interior or street side setback areas but no closer than ten feet (10')to any property line, except as provided in subsection (2)and(4)below. Swimming pools shall not extend into the front setback area noted In Section 4.3.4(K)." The subject property is located in the OSSHAD district which has a 25'front setback. We are requesting a reduction of the setback to 10'to allow the pool only to be in the yard and not encroach on the front setback.The residence located next door at 138 N.E. 1st Avenue applied for an identical variance in October 2007(Variance#111) requesting that"A reduction in the front yard setback to twenty feet(20') where twenty-five feet(25')are required. If granted the requested variance would allow the construction of a new 12'x 20'swimming pool...". The front yard pool and pool deck landscaping was constructed in 2010 and compliments the architecture and tropical feel of the neighborhood greatly. We hope to achieve the same result. Currently on the property the two story single family detached dwelling unit is under construction. The property owner has decided to live in the home with his family and would like to have a family swimming pool to enjoy and look out onto from the balcony. The property has a 2 car garage serving the home, a covered parking area for 2 cars, and 6 spaces along the south side. The latter 8 spaces are reserved for Atlantic Ocean Club staff parking as previously agreed upon with the City. The swimming pool will be 10'x40'and 4-5'deep located 10'from the north property line. Along N.E.15t Ave. & N.E. 2"a St., on-street parking is being provided by the owner as well as new paver sidewalks. • AIA FLORIDA FIRM OF THE YEAR 2000 Architecture • Planning • Interior Design • #AA26001584 134 Northeast First Avenue•Delray Beach,Florida 33444•561-276-4951 •Fax:561-243-8184•www.csa-architects.com CZ. mot`. �y �J':J • Most properties on N.E. 15t Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood extend from the street to the alley. The subject property has only half the depth of the neighboring properties and,therefore; does not reach the alley. Because of the compact size of the site,the yard area remaining that would function as the"backyard"where the family would enjoy their leisure time together is the front setback area. The front door of the house is on N.E. 1st Street, so the proposed pool would actually be in the "side"yard. The pool will be surrounded by tropical landscaping and a previously HFS approved four foot tall white shadow box fence, matching the character of the neighborhood and completely enclosing the pool for safety following all codes. The family will enter the pool through the house. The rear entrance gate is to be used by the pool cleaner, landscapers, etc. The front gate will be adjacent to the front door, up a set of steps. All gate hardware will be a self-closing, self-latching locking device, and located at 54"as required by the Florida Residential Building Code. In summary,the granting of this variance would not be contrary to the public interest, safety, or welfare as the pool will be properly enclosed, gated,and designed to all applicable codes. The variance would not significantly diminish the historic character of the Historic District or Site, but rather enhance the aesthetic appeal of the new residence and surrounding properties. Because of the location of the site downtown in the Old School Square Historic Arts District the piece of land is quite small for a single family home, measuring 66.11'x 103' it was one of the few remaining vacant lots in the downtown area. Therefore,the variance requested is the minimum necessary to effect the adaptive reuse of an existing site (converting a once vacant piece of land into a family home with outdoor recreation). This letter is accompanied by a recent legal survey of the property, a proposed rendered plan of the pool area, architectural site plans, landscape planting plans, and photographs of the existing site with views to the neighboring pool also located in the front yard. A list of property owners within a 500' radius, a tax map illustrating these properties,and pre-addressed envelopes with postage are also included. The processing fee check in the amount of$250.00 is attached.

CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS A. 520 NE 3rd Avenue, D;el-Ida Park,.Historic District— Michael Braun & James Zankel, Property Owners. _ Ex-Paste";Communications::- Ms. Sexton'*pte an e-mail to Ms. Alvarez regarding the style of the doors on the house. Consideration of a . Certificate of Appropriateness (2009-185) for exterior alterations on a non-contributing property. Ms. Alvarez entered project file no. 2009-185-COA into the record. Applicant Mr. Michael Braun, 520 NEW 3rd Avenue, owner of the property owner, advised as far as they are concerned we can't put a metal roof on the house. We will not change it, and will leave it as is. We don't understand the difference between the wood or composite shutters. Ms. Del Fiandra advised it would have been nice to see a sample of the shutters. Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting —August 5, 2009 A Mr. Braun advised there might have been a misunderstanding on the colors. We will paint them white to match the trim. Board Discussion Mr. Sloan advised that these improvements have dressed up the house a lot. Regarding the shutters, the ones that are here are $22.00 a pair. They will look dramatically less visually rich than wood or cedar ones. They will cost more but they will add richness to the house. would strongly go with Amy's suggestion of cedar or treated wood. The width should be one-half of the window, and you could add shutter dogs. If you use the shutter dogs they are one-quarter of the openings. Regarding the roof, a flat concrete:_tile in white would go well with the type of architecture. Gable vents would be better in treated'wood or cedar. Ms. Sexton advised she agrees with Mr. Sloan's analysis;•ofitFshutters utilizing wood, and the white flat concrete roof.

We would like to bring back some of the history of the historic content and;modernize it'forthe downtown lifestyle. We went back and found the old blueprints dated 1923. We thought we would bring in the old style with the new design and incorporate ;folding doors that would allow for an inside/outside flow. The sidewalk has a patch;to=it. It is 5 feet above the'building. What we thought we would do was to install paneling Folding doors would be incorporating a panel that would resemble a sill from when the building was designed. When the doors and windows are open you have the benefit of having tide::inside/outside relationship. Spot Coffee is a franchise out of Canada.,.. They are a'`''cross between Starbucks and Panera Bread. It will offer a lot of seating,_ and is,an important corner in the City.

Architecturally_ it does not`;work :for me I don't like the scale. There is something about the proportionsof the house The hotel does not reflect the architecture of Delray Beach.

The CRA has done a wonderful job of rehabilitating buildings. The CRA owns_the:whole street and we are buying this lot from them. We are excited about being part_of that redevelopment. Ms. Ellington advised she especially liked the balconies that were incorporated on the Fifth Avenue side. Public Comments: Ms. Angeleta Gray, a business owner in the historic Fifth Avenue business district, advised she met with a lot of the merchants and they advised they liked the project. We agree with the City and the CRA. Ms. Gray requested that the Board approve this project so we can move forward. 4 Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting —June 17, 2009 Mr. Jeff Costello, Assistant Director, CRA, advised this complies with the Design Guidelines. The height is well below what is permitted as it shows in the graphic there are a few two story buildings. This fills a void that needs to be filled to continue revitalization of the area.

Consideration of City-initiated amendments to` the Land Development Regulations Section 4.3.4(K), "Development Standards_:;;Matrix", to change the minimum building setbacks for the Residential Office (RO) District. Ms. Alvarez entered the project file into the record,-_and advised the purpose of this text amendment is to decrease theminimum side:::street, side interior and rear building setbacks within the RO zoning district ;The proposed :setbacks are more appropriate to the existing development pattern:in the area,, By reducing.the need for variances to the building setbacks, this modification will promote the purpose;and intent of the RO district to encourage redevelopment and revitalization of the area -Compatibility of development within the historic district;will be maintained through adherence to Section 4.5.1(E)(8), "Visual Compatibility Standards". Ms. Peart advised this is a historic district::and I don't think we want one size fits all. would not want an:office building behind myahome. I don't think it is appropriate.

Ms. Peart advised we went through this last year Mr. Sexton advised::she does';not think we need to open doors to over-sizing on these small.lots. Ms. DelFia,ndra advised with the CVS across the way they are going to build too high. Ms. Alvarez:advised this is not something new in the RO district. The intent is not to maximize development on these properties. Ms. Peart questioned if somebody comes in for a variance'andiihe rule states 10 feet you will have a hard time telling them they can't do it. Ms. Alvarez advised she does not think there are other areas that have a 25 foot setback. They still have to maintain the historic integrity of the property. We are not talking about residential structures as well. Ms. Alvarez advised it is the intent to help to incentivize the adaptive reuse. Mr. Sloan inquired if it was possible that the lots NE of 3rd Avenue be consistent with the entire district. Ms. Alvarez advised if that was your recommendation it could be outlined in the LDRs. 7 Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting —June 17, 2009 Mr. Cope inquired if a homeowner could pick up more square footage in their house. Ms. Alvarez advised if the structure is 11 feet and the setback is 15 feet he is non-contributing and he is stuck at the 15 feet. Public Comment: Ms. Donna Sloan inquired since the incentive is trying to add on to historic properties can we make it that historic buildings can go to to setbacks if you are going to add on to the building you can use these setbacks. Ms. Alvarez advised we don't need to do that because the variances will go into place. Motion made by Mr. Sloan, seconded by Mr. Cope, and approved 7 to 0 to move a recommendation of approval to the City Commission foraCity-initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations Section 4.3.4(K), ."Development Standards Matrix" to change the minimum building setbacks for the:_,Residential=:;Office (RO) District, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the Staff Report sand finding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive.;Plan subject to the following conditions: 1.

Mr. Cope advised he met with the client two or three years ago to help him out. Ms. Del Fiandra advised she lived in the neighborhood and drives by on a regular basis. Ms. Alvarez entered project no 2009-046-COA into the record. The subject property consists of the East '/2 of Lot 6 & Lot 7, Block 2, Del-Ida Park, and is located within an R-1-AA (Single-Family Residential) zoning district. Located within the Del- Ida Park Historic District, the circa 1925 one-story structure contributes to the district's historic designation. An original accessory structure exists at the rear of the property. Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting —July 1, 2009 r In 1992, a building permit was issued for the replacement of existing windows with three sets of French doors. In 1993, an "open porch" with flat roof was added to the rear elevation. The original windows were replaced with bronze finish, aluminum windows. The applicant is now requesting approval for as-built alterations to the existing structures consisting of replacement of the aforementioned bronze finish, aluminum windows with white, aluminum, impact rated windows. Some of the window types were previously single- hung, while the replacements are casement. White, aluminum, single-light, impact rated doors were also installed throughout the residence, with the exception of the wood entry door, which remains. The previous doors consisted of wood frame, multi-light (approximately 15 lights) French doors with dimensional muntins. • It is noted that the application has been submitted in response to a Code Enforcement citation for not receiving HPB approval nor a Building Permit for the subject as-built alterations. Due to scheduling conflicts with Staff and the Property. Owner, the Board's review was delayed. While the Planning and Zoning.Department does.not have a penalty for work conducted without approval, the Building Department charges three times the application fee for work conducted without a permit.-` • The request for approval of as-built alterations is-.now before:the Board for review. Mr. Sloan inquired if the front windows were aluminum casement. Ms. Alvarez advised she did not have a date when the original windows were removed. There were no other permits on file in 1992 and 1993. Applicant: Mr. Randy Marcin, 17NE 6thStreet, advised he met with 'Mr. Cope after hurricane Wilma and wanted to run thehang over:along the side, however, the cost was not feasible. There was damage after Hurricane Wilma. Some-.improvement that needed to be done were complete. The::;house was broken into two':or three times. I put in hurricane impact windows. It should.be.noted-;l was brought in on-a citation for doing the work without asking first. We asked the first person I"found;and assumed and asked if we needed a permit to replace'the windows and doors. When I came back the same guy gave me a citation. This wasnot an overf'action. Mr Sloan inquired if he knew the inspector's name. Mr. Marcin advised they did not replace everything in the house ::There are some fixtures on the east side that are original. We have a guest dwelling •in;;the back. Mr. Sloan advised windows are one of the most important elements of a home. Mr. Marcin advised the doors with 15 lites were replaced in 1992. Public Comments;'::"None Board Discussion: Mr. Stanley advised the 15 lite windows are wider than the doors. Mr. Sloan advised to track down the name of the manufacturer of the windows. Ms. Sexton inquired if they were stained wood. The old track hardware should be removed and how can you add a muntin to the sliding windows. They would have to be replaced with single hung windows. Mr. Cope inquired how many windows were replaced on the east side. Ms. DelFiandra advised every window should have muntins on them. The color change can be approved administratively. There are casement windows on the back of the house. Mr. Cope advised there is an old 2 • Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting —July 1, 2009 window in the bathroom.

Ms. Sexton wrote an a=mail to Ms. Alvarez regarding the style of the doors on the house. Consideration of kCertificate of Appropriateness (2009-185) for exterior alterations on a non-contributing property. Ms. Alvarez entered project file no. 2009-185-COA into the record. Applicant Mr. Michael Braun, 520 NEW 3rd Avenue, owner of the property owner, advised as far as they are concerned we can't put a metal roof on the house. We will not change it, and will leave it as is. We don't understand the difference between the wood or composite shutters. Ms. Del Fiandra advised it would have been nice to see a sample of the shutters. Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting —August 5, 2009 Mr. Braun advised there might have been a misunderstanding on the colors. We will paint them white to match the trim. Board Discussion Mr. Sloan advised that these improvements have dressed up the house a lot. Regarding the shutters, the ones that are here are $22.00 a pair. They will look dramatically less visually rich than wood or cedar ones. They will cost more but they will add richness to the house. I would strongly go with Amy's suggestion of cedar or treated wood. The width should be one-half of the window, and you could add shutter dogs. If you use the shutter dogs they are one-quarter of the openings. Regarding the roof, a flat concrete,tile in white would go well with the type of architecture. Gable vents would be better in treate`d wood or cedar. Ms. Sexton advised she agrees with Mr. Sloan's analysis.ofi t[e':shutters utilizing wood, and the white flat concrete roof. •,::,,.. Mr. Braun advised they will be installed impact -windows, and they were approved administratively. = .. Mr. Braun inquired if installation of the shutters required-'a building perms.;..

Review by Others: • Due to the façade easement on the building, the subject proposal was reviewed by the CRA at its meeting of July 9, 2009. The CRA Board approved the proposal noting it was consistent with and appropriate for the architecture of the building. Richard Jones, Architect, applicant, advised they are excited about the opportunity to bring new life into this old building. Michael Weiner, Esquire, purchased the building in the mid 1990s, and moved into their office on the second floor..;twot;years ago. I moved in as a tenant as well, and we have a personal attachment to tt is'projct.; We would like to bring back some of the history of the historic content and;.modernize it for:the downtown lifestyle. We went back and found the old blueprints dated 1923. We though we would bring in the old style with the new design and incorporate folding doors that"would allow for an inside/outside flow. The sidewalk has a patch;:tot. It is 5 feet above the•`building. What we . thought we would do was to install paneling Folding doors,would be incorporating a panel that would resemble a sill from when the building was designed. When the doors and windows are open you have the benefit of having=;the:inside/outside relationship. Spot Coffee is a franchise out of Canada.,. They are a=`cross between Starbucks and Panera Bread. It will offer a lot of seating,:.and.isan important corner in the City. There is a large mural and combining the old Delray Beach with the new :Delray Beach. We are going to change all of the lights. Board Discussion: Board discussion°;ensued relativeto the following: • Location of`tf4windows • Position of the awning • Transom lights Mr,;Jones advised the problem with the building is that it is very close to the sidewalk. You don't`lave a lot of tables for'"seating. The doors will be 8 feet high and they will be fixed. Public`Comments: Mr. Francisco. Perez-Azua Economic Development Director, Community Redevelopment Agency, advised he wanted to express his support. The revised doors and windows will • reconnect the propertyto the street.

By reducing the need for variances to the building setbacks, this modification will promote.the purpose:and intent of the RO district to encourage redevelopment and revitalizationof the area >Compatibility of development within the historic district will be maintained through adherence to Section 4.5.1(E)(8), "Visual Compatibility Standards". • Ms. Peart advised this is a historic district:'and I don't think we want one size fits all. would not want.,an. building behind my.home. I don't think it is appropriate. Ms. Alvarez advised the intent of this is not to provide for larger development. If something were-of'? certain sizethere are ways to mitigate. Ms. Peart advised we went through this last:year. Mr. Sexton advised'she does not think we need to open doors to over-sizing on these small lots. Ms. DelFiandra advised:with the CVS across the way they are going to build too high. Ms. Alvarez. advised,this is not something new in the RO district. The intent is not to maximize development on these properties. Ms. Peart questioned if somebody comes in for a variance and the rule states 10 feet you will have a hard time telling them they can't do it. Ms. Alvarez advised she does not think there are other areas that have a 25 foot setback. They still have to maintain the historic integrity of the property. We are not talking about residential structures as well. Ms. Alvarez advised it is the intent to help to incentivize the adaptive reuse. • Mr. Sloan inquired if it was possible that the lots NE of 3rd Avenue be consistent with the entire district. Ms. Alvarez advised if that was your recommendation it could be outlined in the LDRs. 7 Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting —June 17, 2009 Mr. Cope inquired if a homeowner could pick up more square footage in their house. Ms. Alvarez advised if the structure is 11 feet and the setback is 15 feet he is non-contributing and he is stuck at the 15 feet. Public Comment: Ms. Donna Sloan inquired since the incentive is trying to add on to historic properties can we make it that historic buildings can go to to setbacks if you are going to add on to the building you can use these setbacks. Ms. Alvarez advised we don't need to do that because the variances will go into place. Motion made by Mr. Sloan, seconded by Mr. Cope, and;approved 7 to 0 to move a recommendation of approval to the City Commission fora City-initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations Section 4.3.4(K), .;!Development Standards Matrix" to change the minimum building setbacks for the.
