Project Location: 201 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District HPB Meeting Date: February 20, 2012 File: 2013-094 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is consideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a fence on a contributing property located at 201 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H). BACKGROUND/PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property is located in the Old School Square Historic District at the northeast corner of NE 1st Avenue and NE 2nd Street. The property contains an original 1936 structure which is classified as contributing in the historic district. In April 1999, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed a Class II Site Plan Modification and a Certificate of Appropriateness application for the establishment of law offices in both the principal residence and accessory structure that had previously been used as a beauty salon and residence. In 2001, the HPB approved the existing freestanding signs for the property. The current request is for the replacement of a wood, picket fence with a PVC fence of the same height (36") and design. Fences, walls, and gates are typically reviewed and approved administratively; however, the proposal involves the introduction of a synthetic material and Board approval is therefore required. The COA for the installation of a new fence is now before the Board for consideration. ANALYSIS LDR Section 4.5.1, Historic Preservation Sites and Districts (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. (5) Standards and Guidelines. A historic site, building, structure, improvement, or appurtenance within a historic district shall only be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished, or otherwise changed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's 201 NE 1st Avenue—2013-094 HPB Meeting February 20, 2013 Page 2 of 3 Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, as amended from time to time. (8) Visual Compatibility Standards. New construction and all improvements to both contributing and noncontributing buildings, structures and appurtenances thereto within a designated historic district or on an individually designated property shall be visually compatible. In addition to the Zoning District Regulations, the Historic Preservation Board shall apply the visual compatibility standards. (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. The Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines state the following with respect to fences: • New materials, some of them synthetic, may be approved on a case-by-case basis. STAFF COMMENT & ANALYSIS The current proposal is for the installation of a PVC fence which will be highly visible from the public right-of-way for this corner property, as it will run parallel to both NE 1st Avenue and NE 2nd Street. A vinyl fence is not an appropriate addition to any property located within a designated historic district, particularly when highly visible from the public right-of-way and/or when being installed on a historic property. It has been argued that vinyl fences require less maintenance than wood fences, that they retain their appearance over a longer duration, and that the fence itself will last longer. While it may be true that this fence type requires less maintenance, vinyl fences can be susceptible to yellowing and cracking and, as they are a relatively new innovation, there is no proof as to how long they will last. If a wood fence is properly maintained and painted regularly, it can last 50 years or more depending on the type of wood used, the location where it is installed, and whether or not it has been treated with a preservative to help resist decay, fungi and insects. Additionally, the use of vinyl materials which require more frequent replacement are not environmentally friendly in either their manufacturing or their ability to decompose when removed due to necessary replacement. The Design Guidelines state that new materials, some of them synthetic, may be approved on a case-by-case basis; however, it is recommended that should a vinyl material be approved, that it is minimally visible from the public right-of-way and where maintenance is least difficult. Approving the installation of a vinyl fence where it can be viewed from the public right-of-way could set a precedent and lead to similar applications. Based on the above analysis, therefore, positive findings cannot be made with respect to LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(7) and 4.5.1(E)(8), the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. r 201 NE 1st Avenue—2013-094 HPB Meeting February 20, 2013 Page 3 of 3 ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A.

Project Location: 203 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District HPB Meeting Date: February 20, 2012 File: 2013-094 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is consideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a fence on a contributing property located at 203 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H). BACKGROUND/PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property is located in the Old School Square Historic District on the east side of NE 1st Avenue between NE 2nd Street and NE 3`d Street. The property contains a 1,206 square foot, one- story, frame vernacular dwelling constructed in 1937 which is classified as contributing in the historic district. At its meeting of August 18, 2004, the Board approved a Class III Site Plan Modification for the conversion of a single family residence to office. However, the required improvements for the change of use were never completed. In 2006, the HPB approved a freestanding sign in the front yard. No other COAs are on file for the subject property. The current request is for the replacement of a wood, picket fence with a PVC fence of the same height (36") and design. Fences, walls, and gates are typically reviewed and approved administratively; however, the proposal involves the introduction of a synthetic material and Board approval is therefore required.

Project Location: 201 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District HPB Meeting Date: February 20, 2012 File: 2013-094 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is consideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a fence on a contributing property located at 201 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H). BACKGROUND/PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property is located in the Old School Square Historic District at the northeast corner of NE 1st Avenue and NE 2nd Street. The property contains an original 1936 structure which is classified as contributing in the historic district. In April 1999, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed a Class II Site Plan Modification and a Certificate of Appropriateness application for the establishment of law offices in both the principal residence and accessory structure that had previously been used as a beauty salon and residence. In 2001, the HPB approved the existing freestanding signs for the property. The current request is for the replacement of a wood, picket fence with a PVC fence of the same height (36") and design. Fences, walls, and gates are typically reviewed and approved administratively; however, the proposal involves the introduction of a synthetic material and Board approval is therefore required. The COA for the installation of a new fence is now before the Board for consideration. ANALYSIS LDR Section 4.5.1, Historic Preservation Sites and Districts (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. (5) Standards and Guidelines. A historic site, building, structure, improvement, or appurtenance within a historic district shall only be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished, or otherwise changed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's 201 NE 1st Avenue—2013-094 HPB Meeting February 20, 2013 Page 2 of 3 Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, as amended from time to time. (8) Visual Compatibility Standards. New construction and all improvements to both contributing and noncontributing buildings, structures and appurtenances thereto within a designated historic district or on an individually designated property shall be visually compatible. In addition to the Zoning District Regulations, the Historic Preservation Board shall apply the visual compatibility standards. (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. The Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines state the following with respect to fences: • New materials, some of them synthetic, may be approved on a case-by-case basis. STAFF COMMENT & ANALYSIS The current proposal is for the installation of a PVC fence which will be highly visible from the public right-of-way for this corner property, as it will run parallel to both NE 1st Avenue and NE 2nd Street. A vinyl fence is not an appropriate addition to any property located within a designated historic district, particularly when highly visible from the public right-of-way and/or when being installed on a historic property. It has been argued that vinyl fences require less maintenance than wood fences, that they retain their appearance over a longer duration, and that the fence itself will last longer. While it may be true that this fence type requires less maintenance, vinyl fences can be susceptible to yellowing and cracking and, as they are a relatively new innovation, there is no proof as to how long they will last. If a wood fence is properly maintained and painted regularly, it can last 50 years or more depending on the type of wood used, the location where it is installed, and whether or not it has been treated with a preservative to help resist decay, fungi and insects. Additionally, the use of vinyl materials which require more frequent replacement are not environmentally friendly in either their manufacturing or their ability to decompose when removed due to necessary replacement. The Design Guidelines state that new materials, some of them synthetic, may be approved on a case-by-case basis; however, it is recommended that should a vinyl material be approved, that it is minimally visible from the public right-of-way and where maintenance is least difficult. Approving the installation of a vinyl fence where it can be viewed from the public right-of-way could set a precedent and lead to similar applications. Based on the above analysis, therefore, positive findings cannot be made with respect to LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(7) and 4.5.1(E)(8), the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. a 201 NE 1 s1 Avenue—2013-094 HPB Meeting February 20, 2013 Page 3 of 3 ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A.

Project Location: 203 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District HPB Meeting Date:. February 20, 2012 File: 2013-094 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is consideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a fence on a contributing property located at 203 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(H). BACKGROUND/PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject property is located in the Old School Square Historic District on the east side of NE 1st Avenue between NE 2nd Street and NE 3`d Street. The property contains a 1,206 square foot, one- story, frame vernacular dwelling constructed in 1937 which is classified as contributing in the historic district. At its meeting of August 18, 2004, the Board approved a Class III Site Plan Modification for the conversion of a single family residence to office. However, the required improvements for the change of use were never completed. In 2006, the HPB approved a freestanding sign in the front yard. No other COAs are on file for the subject property. The current request is for the replacement of a wood, picket fence with a PVC fence of the same height (36") and design. Fences, walls, and gates are typically reviewed and approved administratively; however, the proposal involves the introduction of a synthetic material and Board approval is therefore required. The COA for the installation of a new fence is now before the Board for consideration. ANALYSIS LDR Section 4.5.1, Historic Preservation Sites and Districts (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. (5) Standards and Guidelines. A historic site, building, structure, improvement, or appurtenance within a historic district shall only be altered, restored, preserved, repaired, relocated, demolished, or otherwise changed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's 203 NE 1st Avenue—2013-094 HPB Meeting February 20, 2013 Page 2 of 3 Standards for Rehabilitation, and the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, as amended from time to time. (8) Visual Compatibility Standards. New construction and all improvements to both contributing and noncontributing buildings, structures and appurtenances thereto within a designated historic district or on an individually designated property shall be visually compatible. In addition to the Zoning District Regulations, the Historic Preservation Board shall apply the visual compatibility standards. (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. The Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines state the following with respect to fences: • New materials, some of them synthetic, may be approved on a case-by-case basis. STAFF COMMENT & ANALYSIS The current proposal is for the installation of a PVC fence which will be visible from the public right- of-way, as it will run parallel to NE 1st Avenue. A vinyl fence is not an appropriate addition to any property located within a designated historic district, particularly when highly visible from the public right-of-way and/or when being installed on a historic property. It has been argued that vinyl fences require less maintenance than wood fences, that they retain their appearance over a longer duration, and that the fence itself will last longer. While it may be true that this fence type requires less maintenance, vinyl fences can be susceptible to yellowing and cracking and, as they are a relatively new innovation, there is no proof as to how long they will last. If a wood fence is properly maintained and painted regularly, it can last 50 years or more depending on the type of wood used, the location where it is installed, and whether or not it has been treated with a preservative to help resist decay, fungi and insects. Additionally, the use of vinyl materials which require more frequent replacement are not environmentally friendly in either their manufacturing or their ability to decompose when removed due to necessary replacement. The Design Guidelines state that new materials, some of them synthetic, may be approved on a case-by-case basis; however, it is recommended that should a vinyl material be approved, that it is minimally visible from the public right-of-way and where maintenance is least difficult. Approving the installation of a vinyl fence where it can be viewed from the public right-of-way could set a precedent and lead to similar applications. Based on the above analysis, therefore, positive findings cannot be made with respect to LDR Sections 4.5.1(E)(7) and 4.5.1(E)(8), the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS A. Continue with direction. B. Move approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness (2013-094) for the property located at 203 NE 1st Avenue, Old School Square Historic District, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is consistent with the Land Development Regulations. 203 NE 15t Avenue—2013-094 HPB Meeting February 20, 2013 Page 3 of 3 C.
