Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting —May 5, 2010
B. Consideration of a City-Initiated Ordinance 10-10, acceptance of the resurvey report for the
Old School Square Historic District including extending the Period of Significance to 1965
and reclassifying 13 properties from non-contributing to contributing. A recommendation to
the City Commission will be made.
The City hired RJ Heisenbottle Architects, Inc. (Heisenbottle) to conduct a survey of the Del-
Ida Park, Nassau Park, Old School Square, and West Settlers Historic Districts from July
2008 — January 2009. The objective was to survey all properties developed at least thirty-
five years ago within each of the aforementioned districts and to identify those which contain
both contributing and non-contributing buildings and structures. A historical overview of each
area was provided in the final survey report, which was reviewed by the City Commission at
its workshop on February 10, 2009.
All of the recommendations regarding the Period of Significance extension and property
reclassifications for the Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, and West Settlers Historic Districts were
adopted in 2009; the resurvey report for the Old School Square Historic District has not yet
been accepted by the City Commission.
In 2009, Ordinance 16-09 was prepared based on the resurvey's findings that the POS be
extended to 1965 and that 23 properties be reclassified to contributing. The Ordinance did
not pass on 2nd reading at the City Commission meeting of June 2, 2009, and direction was
given to individually poll each property owner directly impacted by the reclassifications. In
November 2009, a formal notice was sent to all property owners within the Old School
Square Historic District inviting them to a HPB Workshop to review the resurvey, and also to
provide additional information about the benefits of historic preservation and the contributing
classification.
In February 2010, a certified mailing was sent to the 23 property owners which included
similar information provided at the Workshop, as well as a "Property Owner Reclassification
Form" to indicate their support of the reclassification, along with an explanation for either
their support or lack thereof. A return self-addressed, stamped envelope was provided to
each property owner to ensure that the form would be returned.
Based on the returned forms, Ordinance 10-10 has been created which provides for the
acceptance of the resurvey report, extension of the POS to 1965, and the reclassification of
13 properties to contributing. Additional recommendations noted in the report are that listing
on the National Register of Historic Places be sought for the entire district, and that
consideration be given to expand the district's southern boundary to SE/SW 4th Street.
Review by Others
It is noted that Ordinance 10-10 was not reviewed by the following Advisory Boards as it not
contrary to those recommendations made during review of Ordinance 16-09. Ordinance 10-
10 provides for the reclassification of 13 of the 23 properties originally included in Ordinance
16-09. Therefore, the Advisory Board recommendations for Ordinance 16-09 are noted
below.
The Pineapple Grove Main Street Committee (PGMS) reviewed Ordinance 16-09 at its April
1, 2009 meeting where a recommendation of approval was made.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) reviewed Ordinance 16-09 at its April 13,
2009 meeting where a recommendation of approval was made with the condition that those
3

Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting —May 5, 2010
property owners who would like to maintain their classification as non-contributing be
granted that request.
The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) reviewed Ordinance 16-09 at its April 16,
2009 meeting where a recommendation of approval was made with the condition that those
property owners who would like to maintain their classification as non-contributing be
granted that request.
Public Comments:
Mr. Paul Babij, 207 SW 1st Avenue, inquired who determines which properties get
reclassified. Mr. Sloan advised the homeowners. Ms. Alvarez advised it started with a
resurvey and the resurvey recommended certain properties to be reclassified. We sent out
a Request for Proposal (RFP) and five or six professionals sent in proposals. Based on their
qualifications we selected the consultant and he did all the research and came up with this
report. Per the direction of the City Commission we left it up to the homeowners whether or
not they would be reclassified.
Mr. Don Murakami, 326 NE 1st Avenue, advised he would like to have assurances that his
property always remains non-contributing. I support the historic district. My property is
restricted and limited given the current design. It does not have storage space or closets. It
is about 500 square feet. Therefore, I don't want to have to come back every time there is a
new survey. There have been different opinions on our property. I would like some
assurances that our property remains nonconforming.
Mr. Sloan inquired what Mr. Murakami's concern was being contributing. Mr. Murakami
advised there is a principal next door that has some potential and my question is, does each
of the properties have to stand alone or can you aggregate and still maintain the guidelines
of the historic district? Can you buy two pieces of property next to each other (unity of title)
enhance as a project and not stand alone. Ms. Pyburn advised yes, you would purchase
additional property and get a unity of title but you have to keep in mind whatever you do to
the structure you still have to follow the guidelines. Mr. Cope advised if a non-contributing
parcel abuts a contributing parcel what do you have? Ms. Pyburn advised you would have
to look at each one separately. Mr. Cope inquired how would a contributing situation be
handled. Ms. Pyburn advised it would have to be looked at on a case by case basis.
Mr. Cheryl Abramson, 21 NW 2nd Street, advised she has a question and would like to get
some clarification from the Board. I know you are trying to extend the period of significance
to 1965. I don't understand from the report I read these over and over and over again. Are
they suggesting in the Heisenbottle report that refers back to the GAI survey when it
pertains to the OSSHAD district. What is the purpose of expanding? What are the Board's
suggestions?
Ms. Alvarez advised in any instance you never automatically assume something is
contributing because of its age. There are many structures in this historic district that were
built in 1955 that were never recommended for contributing by this report. As far as the
period of significance 1965 is the cutoff date to correspond between the 1960s and 1990s.
Heisenbottle has looked at a period of significance. If you have a structure built in 1957 it
can be eligible but it may not mean anything that is looking at the 50 year rule. Construction
in that time period the area in OSSHAD continued through 1965. There is nothing that
exists from 1960 to 1965. You are still looking at each property on a case-by-case basis
regardless of the age.
4
Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting —May 5, 2010
Ms. Abramson inquired how would you pick some of those structures to be historically
significant. Ms. Alvarez advised when you look at the properties and the historic district as a
whole you are not doing a complete analysis on each structure. You are looking at it how it
contributes to the district.
Ms. DelFiandra advised a lot of the veterans who came out of World War II and Korea were
able to purchase homes through the VA Bill. These were simple houses and that is the
significance of the period.
Ms. Alvarez advised to address Mr. Murakami, we are going through this ordinance and the
property would be non-contributing and the consultant will be reevaluating the property.
These reclassifications are not written in stone.
Mr. Sloan advised the City Commission is free to make a decision, and our Board will have
different people on it in five years. The districts will be reevaluated in five years.
Mr. Murakami advised he recommended if the board could review the development
guidelines for the OSSHAD as it is different from the residential district. The guidelines
should be reviewed and studied for the OSSHAD district. The guidelines for OSSHAD
which are the same are restrictive and economically, historically, and architecturally it works
more against than for what you are trying to achieve. Ms. Alvarez advised she did get a
letter from the property owners in the district supporting the ordinance.
Motion
Motion made by Mr. Cope, seconded by Ms. Sexton, and approved 6 to 0 (Ms. Sernoff
absent) to move approval to the City Commission of Ordinance 10-10 providing for the
extension of the Period of Significance to 1965, and reclassification of 13 properties from
non-contributing to contributing.

MEMORANDUM STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: May 5, 2010
ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 10-10 FOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE
RESURVEY REPORT OF OLD SCHOOL SQUARE HISTORIC DISTRICT
INCLUDING EXTENDING THE PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANCE TO 1965 AND
RECLASSIFYING 13 PROPERTIES FROM NON-CONTRIBUTING TO
CONTRIBUTING.
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission regarding
Ordinance 10-10 that provides for the adoption of the resurvey report of Old School Square Historic
District (OSSHD) including extension of the Period of Significance (POS) to 1965, and reclassification
of 13 properties from non-contributing to contributing, pursuant to Land Development Regulations
(LDR) Section 4.5.1(N), Criteria for Change of Historic Classification and 4.5.1(0), Procedures for
Change of Historic Classification.
BACKGROUND
The City hired RJ Heisenbottle Architects, Inc. to conduct a survey of the Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park,
Old School Square, and West Settlers Historic Districts from July 2008 — January 2009. The objective
was to survey all properties developed at least thirty-five years ago within each of the aforementioned
districts and to identify those which contain both contributing and non-contributing buildings and
structures. A historical overview of each area was provided in the final survey report, which was
reviewed by the City Commission at its workshop on February 10, 2009.
All of the recommendations regarding the Period of Significance extension and property
reclassifications for the Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, and West Settlers Historic Districts were adopted in
2009; the resurvey report for the Old School Square Historic District has not yet been accepted by the
City Commission.
In 2009, Ordinance 16-09 was prepared based on the resurvey's findings that the POS be extended to
1965 and that 23 properties be reclassified to contributing. The Ordinance did not pass on 2nd reading
at the City Commission meeting of June 2, 2009, and direction was given to individually poll each
property owner directly impacted by the reclassifications. In November 2009, a formal notice was sent
to all property owners within the Old School Square Historic District inviting them to a HPB Workshop to
review the resurvey, and also to provide additional information about the benefits of historic
preservation and the contributing classification.
In February 2010, a certified mailing was sent to the 23 property owners which included similar
information provided at the Workshop, as well as a "Property Owner Reclassification Form" to indicate
their support of the reclassification, along with an explanation for either their support or lack thereof. A
return self-addressed, stamped envelope was provided to each property owner to ensure that the form
would be returned.
Based on the returned forms, Ordinance 10-10 has been created which provides for the acceptance of
the resurvey report, extension of the POS to 1965, and the reclassification of 13 properties to
Ordinance 10-10, Old School Square Historic District Resurvey
HPB Meeting May 5, 2010. Paae 2 of 6
contributing. Additional recommendations noted in the report are that listing on the National Register of
Historic Places be sought for the entire district, and that consideration be given to expand the district's
southern boundary to SE/SW 4th Street.
Following are details regarding the Period of Significance and listing on the National Register of Historic
Places:
Period of Significance
The resurvey report notes that the Old School Square Historic District "comprises the oldest and some
of the most threatened sections in the City of Delray Beach, due to its location in the heart of today's
downtown area." Further, OSSHD "presents a glimpse of the historical continuum of the community."
The recommendation to extend the Period of Significance to 1965 would include the later (eligible)
development of 1944 — 1965. This development period highlights the ongoing Post World War II
development trends. The cut-off date is noted as such to correspond with the "construction gap
between the 1960s and 1990s when few if any new structures were built within the district".
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)
Listing on the NRHP would provide additional recognition for the district, and additional review criteria
or restrictions would not be placed on those properties located within the boundaries. While City Staff
may proceed with an application for listing on the NRHP, research and application preparation
assistance will be needed by residents within the district, or other interested parties. The application for
listing would be processed via recommendation of support by the HPB to the City Commission. The
HPB review should include property owners within the district as a way of keeping them informed and
involved, and should occur prior to completion and submittal of the application. Once the application is
submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for review, a letter or newspaper
advertisement will be provided, at which time property owners will have the opportunity to formally
support or object to the listing.
Boundary Expansion
The final survey report notes that "it becomes difficult to ascertain or justify the present southern
terminus...along South Swinton Avenue...there are no physical changes,...and the building stock does
not change significantly once one crosses that imaginary (boundary) line." The survey report
recommends that the City consider extending the boundary south to SW 4th Street. It is noted that
further study is required for the extension, and this action will not occur via adoption of the subject
Ordinance.
Ordinance Attachments
Ordinance 10-10 includes Attachment A, the Final Survey Report for the Old School Square Historic
District, and Attachment B, which notes each property and its date of construction, historic
classification, and architectural style.
It should be noted that all of the 23 properties recommended for reclassification to contributing are
located within the historic district. The primary difference this creates in review by the HPB is
specifically with regard to demolition.
Consideration of Ordinance 10-10 is now before the Board for review and recommendation to the City
Commission.

Ordinance 10-10;Old School Square Historic District Resurvey
HPB Meeting May 5, 2010; Paae 3 of 6
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.2.6(A), a Historic Preservation Board for the City of Delray Beach is hereby
created. The purpose of this Board is to foster and promote the recognition, protection, enhancement
and use of historic resources in the City of Delray Beach and to have a lay body which shall have
authority to act on matters pertaining to historic preservation.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.2.6(D)(1), Duties, Powers, and Responsibilities, the Historic
Preservation Board shall develop, maintain, and update a survey of archaeological sites, properties,
buildings, structures, and districts of special historic, aesthetic, architectural, cultural, or social value or
interest. The Board will endeavor to improve, expand, and make more accurate the survey as additional
documents, information, oral histories, and other such materials may become available, and it will
periodically reevaluate the survey. The Board will work with the City Historical Society, the State
Bureau of Historic Preservation, and other appropriate public and nonprofit organizations in maintaining
this survey.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.2.6(D)(2), Duties, Powers, and Responsibilities, the Historic
Preservation Board shall nominate properties for designation, and regulate such properties, structures,
buildings, sites, districts, and the like so designated as historic sites and/or historic districts.
STAFF COMMENT:
The LDRs specify that as part of the HPB duties, the Board shall protect historic resources, and update
surveys of historic resources. The resurvey of the Old School Square Historic District complies with this
requirement.
LDR Section 4.5.1(N), Criteria for Change of Historic Classification
(1) A survey of all historic districts may be conducted by the City every five (5) years. The
survey report may recommend changes to the historic designation and/or classification of properties
located within or immediately adjacent to a designated historic district.
(b) Criteria for Change of Historic Classification: If a City-initiated survey conducted
within the last five (5) years reveals that a property within a historic district should be
reclassified as either contributing or non-contributing, then the classification may be
revised in accordance with LDR Section 4.5.1(0) and shall be determined as follows:
1. The survey recommends the inclusion of an additional "Period of Significance", which
would reclassify properties from non-contributing to contributing, or;
2. The survey recommends that a property or properties have been so significantly
altered that the changes are irreversible and have compromised the structures
historic integrity of the structure, which would reclassify the structure from contributing
to non-contributing.
STAFF COMMENT:
The subject survey meets the criteria for change of historic classification as it was conducted within the
last 5 years (complete January 2009), and the survey recommends that the Period of Significance be
adopted which would reclassify those 13 properties listed in Exhibit A from non-contributing to
contributing. Therefore, the reclassifications may be reviewed.

LDR Section 4.5.1(0), Procedures for Change of Historic Designation and/or Classification
(2) Procedures for Change of Historic Classification: Applications to change the historic
classification of a property or properties within a historic district shall be made to the Historic
Preservation Board and may be initiated by written request of:
(a) The Historic Preservation Board based upon the recommendations of a City-initiated
survey completed within five (5) years prior to the application; or
(b) The City Commission based upon the recommendations of a City-initiated survey
completed within five (5) years prior to the application; or
(3) The Planning and Zoning Director or his/her designee shall conduct a preliminary
evaluation of the information provided on each application to determine if it generally conforms with
criteria in LDR Section 4.5.1(N)(1). The Planning and Zoning Director or his/her designee shall then
prepare a report which shall contain the following:
(b) Change of Historic Classification:
1. Analysis of the properties to be reclassified; and
2. A staff recommendation as to whether or not the properties should be reclassified due
to either:
a. loss of historic integrity as a result of irreversible alterations to a contributing
property; or
b. inclusion of an additional "Period of Significance"per the survey recommendations.
STAFF COMMENT:
It has been determined that the subject request conforms with Section 4.5.1(N)(1), and the
recommendations have been justified within the report with respect to the expansion of the POS to
1965. The information has been provided and reviewed by Staff and deemed to be complete.
The properties recommended for reclassification were developed between 1945 and 1958 and have
become a part of the historic Old School Square streetscape. While they differ from the architectural
style of the original development, they are compatible and illustrate the development typology of their
time. Staff recommends that the POS expansion be accepted.
Staff also recommends that the City support the application of the Old School Square Historic District to
the NRHP with application preparation assistance provided by residents and interested parties.

HISTORIC SURVEY REPORT
INTRODUCTION
The City of Delray Beach has retained the firm of R.J. Heisenbottle Architects, P.A. (RJHA) to resurvey four
areas within the city previously listed on the Local Register of Historic Places as Historic Districts. The four
areas to be studied are Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, Old School Square, and West Settlers Historic District.
RJHA's task will be to prepare individual Survey Reports for each of the four historic districts. These survey
reports will include the following information:
• Historical overview of the district.
• Review existing criteria for determining contributing and non-contributing structures.
• Recommendations on extending Periods of Significance,where appropriate,within the district.
• Update Florida Master Site File forms for previously recorded structures.
• Prepare new Florida Master Site File forms for previously unrecorded structures
• Prepare maps and photographs for all sites within the district.
To date, RJHA has completed work on the Nassau Park Historic District Historic Survey Report, submitted in
final form on September 30, 2008. This Historic Survey Report on the Old School Square Historic District
(OSSHD) will provide information on those items outlined above, based on field work, research conducted o=
building permits and Sanborn map records available at the Delray Beach Planning and Zoning Department, an6
historical research conducted at the Delray Beach Historical Society. The first item identified above,
"Historical overview of the district" will use the information previously contained in the GAI Consultants'
report prepared in 2005,as reference,based on the following justification.
The City of Delray Beach contracted with GM Consultants, Inc. in 2005 to conduct the Old School Square
Historic Arts Resources Survey. The Final Report of that survey, dated June 30, 2005, defines the project's
purpose as to record"all contributing and non-contributing buildings and structures within the district boundary,
to identify and update documentation on the architectural resources, and to evaluate or re-evaluate resources for
individual eligibility and eligibility as contributors to the historic district, for both local designation and
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listing". Given the relatively recent completion date of the 2005
GAI Report and the excellent and thorough quality of the documentation, research and writing contained
therein, it would be duplicative for our report to prepare new narratives for the historical and architectural
development sections. Therefore, RJHA's OSSHD Historic Survey Report will specifically cite Section 4
(Architectural Styles and Types), and Section 5 (Historical
Overview)of the GAI Consultants' Final Report as reference rather than trying to rewrite the entire section.
2
RJHA's Old School Square Historic District—Historic Survey Report will concentrate on an assessment and
redefinition of the Period of Significance used for evaluating such structures. Based on this evaluation, on our
field work and on our research of local records, our Report will present information and make
recommendations on the following:
• Extending the Period of Significance for OSSHD.
• Re-evaluating contributing and non-contributing structures.
• Extending current OSSHD boundaries.
• Nomination of individual structures within the district to the National Register of Historic Places.
• Historic District nomination of OSSHD to the National Register of Historic Places.
In addition, we are providing the following updated information:
• A new "Historical Resources List" and "Map of Historical Resources" updating the information
contained in the 2005 GAI Consultants' Final Report.
• New photographs of all structures surveyed within the district boundaries, submitted in disk format.
• Existing Florida Master Site File forms, updated to reflect any alterations, additions, relocations or
demolitions within the district, and new forms prepared for structures previously unrecorded due to
their more recent dates of construction,where applicable.
BOUNDARIES
The Old School Square Historic District (OSSHD) comprises the oldest and some of the most threatened
sections in the city of Delray Beach, due to its location in the heart of today's downtown area. The district
straddles Atlantic Avenue,the city's "Main Street", to the north and south. Its specific boundaries are: Lake Ida
Road and N.E. 4th Street to the north,N.E. and S.E. 1st Avenue to the east, S.E. and S.W. 2nd Street to the south,
and S.E. and N.E. 1 Avenue to the west(See District Map).
Based on visual inspection of the district boundaries, it becomes difficult to ascertain or justify the present
southern terminus for the district along South Swinton Avenue. There are no physical changes, whether natural
or man-made, defining the southern boundary of the district and the building stock does not change significantly
once one crosses that imaginary line. This is particularly evident along South Swinton Avenue, where one is
hard pressed to find a difference in the neighborhood fabric between the 100 block and the 200 or 300 blocks.
Along S.W. 1st Avenue,however, a higher number of non-contributing structures mixed in with the contributing
structures may be discerned south of S.W. 2nd Street,while S.E. 1st Avenue has significantly lost its contributing
building stock beyond the current southern district boundary.
3
It is our recommendation that the City of Delray Beach consider extending the boundary of OSSHD
beyond its present S.W. 2nd Street southern limit to S.W. 4th Street. The City should also study the same
two block southern extension along S.W. 1st Avenue, although the justification does not appear to be ar
strong as for S. Swinton Avenue.
CONTEXT
OSSHD, designated as a Local Register Historic District in 1988, contains the earliest standing and some of the
most recently constructed structures in the city of Delray Beach. Rather than a homogeneous area in its
chronology or architectural typology, OSSHD presents a glimpse of the historical continuum of the community.
Within its boundaries are found buildings from every decade since the 1890s, and from a wide array of
architectural styles, including vernacular structures, Queen Anne and Bahamian influenced ones, Bungalows,
Mission, Mediterranean Revival, Art Deco/Moderne, Minimal Traditional, and even some International Style
inspired structures. Their uses throughout the years have included residential, commercial, offices, institutional,
religious, governmental, recreational, educational and cultural functions. It is this layering and variety of
building types and uses that provide the basis for the district's significance.
Today many of the early residential structures have been converted to light commercial and office uses, thus
affording them an opportunity to survive amidst the development pressures of their current urban environment.
The newly found niche of these historical resources within a modern context has also brought about a
renaissance for many of them, as their conversion to commercial and office uses have brought along substantial
rehabilitation,for the most part sympathetic, of their historic fabric.
PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANCE
One of the objectives of the Delray Beach "Resurvey of Four Local Register Historic Districts" project is to
assess the feasibility of expanding the current Period of Significance when considering eligibility of structures
for listing as "contributing" within the designated historic district. Structures thirty five (35) years or older will
be recorded in the Florida Master Site File, so that the information contained in the State's database will be not
only current but actually ahead of the generally accepted 50 year threshold for historic consideration. This does
not mean that structures that are 35 to 50 years old will automatically be deemed contributing, but rather they
will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for possible eligibility.
In observing the development patterns of the Old School Square Historic District it becomes apparent that there
is a construction gap between the 1960s and 1990s when few if any new structures were built within the district.
The attached"List of Surveyed Resources" shows the date of construction of the most recent structures coming
under the purview of this report to be around 1955, which indicates the surge in construction activity
immediately following the end of World War II. Field inspection of the district did not identify additional
structures being built between 1955 and the mid 1990s to the early part of the 2000 decade. Existing structures
did undergo alterations and in some cases additions, but the level of construction activity was relatively low
during this period. This reflects the general development trend of most communities at this time, when the post
World War II development movement was away from the city's center and into the suburbs. Thus development
activity in OSSHD's residential enclaves, located in the heart of the city and dating as far back as the turn of the
twentieth century, languished during the latter part of the century. This shift is clearly attributable to a new
influx from corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities that relocated to Delray Beach in the 1960s and
1970s, and made their homes in the new suburban residential developments to the west.
4
The currently established Period of Significance for OSSHD extends to 1945,just at the end of World War II.
In terms of historical and architectural development, it is difficult to justify this date (other than the fact that at
the time it was established, it was based on the 50 year threshold for determining historical significance) since it
ignores the construction surge that followed the post-war years. The GAI Consultants' 2005 Final Report
identified 23 new structures built between 1945 and 1955. This is not counting alterations to existing structures
and other construction activities during the same post-war time years. Based on the number of structures built
within that time period, extending the present Period of Significance to 1960 would cover new construction and
alterations that will be 50 years old in less than 2 years from the date of this study, namely in 2010. It therefore
seems appropriate to extend the Period of Significance an additional 5 years, to 1965, in order to provide a
comfortable margin to include any construction activity, including alterations or additions that will acquire the
50 threshold using this time frame.
Based on the above information, it is our recommendation to extend the Period of Significance to 1965.
RE-EVALUATION OF CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES
This report has updated and re-evaluated the "List of Surveyed Resources" presented in 2005 as part of the
GAI Consultants' Report, based on our recommendation to extend the Period of Significance to 1965. Of the
144 structures originally listed within OSSHD in the 2005 Report, 52 were identified as individually eligible
for Local Register listing. Since these structures are already locally designated within OSSHD, our approach
was to identify structures as either "Contributing" or "Non-Contributing" within the district, rather evaluating
them for individual eligibility.
The findings of our study reveal the following salient points:
• 122 structures have been identified as"Contributing"to the district.
• 15 structures have been identified as"Non-Contributing"to the district.
• 6 structures have been demolished since the time of the 2005 GAI Consultants Report(See attached List
of Surveyed Resources for identification).
• A total of 17 structures previously listed on the FMSF have been demolished.
• 2 structures, currently located at 114 N.E. 1 Avenue, were moved into the district from its original
location at 350-362 N.E. 5 Avenue.
• 1 structure, currently located at 111 N. Swinton Avenue, was moved into the district from its original
location at 124 N.E. 5 Avenue.
• No previously unrecorded structures 35 years or older that would be eligible for inclusion in the Florida
Master Site File were identified within the district.
NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY
The Old School Square Historic District is potentially eligible for nomination to the National Register of
Historic Places as an historic district. There are also a number of structures potentially eligible for individual
National Register listing, previously identified in the GAI Consultants' Report. However, the current level of
research and documentation would not be sufficient to carry forth successful district or individual nominations.
Association with the lives of persons significant to our past at the local, state or national level is identified under
Criterion B for National Register listing. Additional research is needed to substantiate historical significance
under this criterion. Similarly, additional documentation is needed to identify the architects who designed those
buildings in order to justify listing under Criterion C for architectural significance.
5
iven the limited amount of information readily available on individual structures, it is difficult to make an
accurate assessment or recommendation on potential eligibility for individual National Register listings at thi0
time. Any current eligibility assessment is mostly based on date of construction and visual architecture
significance.
It is recommended that the City of Delray Beach consider funding a project to undertake the necessary
research and documentation leading to the preparation of a National Register historic district
nomination proposal for OSSHD, or to nominating additional individual properties for National Register
listing.
FLORIDA MASTER SITE FILES
Existing information on the FMSF forms has been updated to reflect alterations, relocations, additions or
demolitions to previously recorded structures. These updates have been provided as annotations to existing local
files containing FMSF forms and not officially entered as updates to the State forms.
Likewise, existing"Surveyor's Evaluation of Site" categories in the FMSF form, identifying potential eligibility
for local or National Register listing has been updated based on our recommendation to extend the date of the
Period of Significance and on the fact that many of the structures have acquired the generally accepted 50 year
significance threshold since the time the initial FMSF forms were prepared and evaluated.
A total of 17 structures previously recorded on the FMSF, on file at the City's Planning and Zoning
Department,have been demolished. Those FMSF forms have been annotated to show the structures' demolition
and will be reincorporated into the City's files.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The field work conducted while undertaking the resurvey of the Old School Square Historic District has shed
some interesting light on the dynamics and impact of historic district designation on one of Delray Beach's
oldest, most architecturally diverse and most attractive areas for new development:
• The number of demolished structures has been relatively low, considering the development pressure on
the area.
• The alterations and additions have been for the most part sympathetic, a credit to the City's staff in
enforcing the regulatory process contained in the ordinance that designated OSSHD as an historic
district.
• The rehabilitation and reuse of historic structures within the district are a credit to the City's foresight in
using historic district designation and zoning overlays as tools to accomplish historic preservation goals.
• The overall image of the today's emerging Delray Beach is one of compatibility and sensitivity in scale
and design between the old and the new. The consciousness and controls that historic district designation
have brought about in the midst of such evident development pressures are admirable efforts.

•
In summary,we offer the following recommendations as part of this OSSHD Report:
• The City of Delray Beach should extend the Period of Significance for OSSHD to 1965. This will
include the structures built during the period of construction activity following the post World War II
era.
• The City of Delray Beach should consider extending the boundary of OSSHD beyond its present S.W.
2nd Street southern limit to S.W. 4th Street along South Swinton Avenue. The City should also study the
same two block southern extension along S.W. 1st Avenue, although the justification does not appear to
be as strong as for South Swinton Avenue.
• The GAI Consultants' Report of 2005 recommended certain boundary adjustments for a possible
National Register historic district nomination to exclude empty lots and new construction along the east
side of N.W. and S.W. 1st Avenue and the parking lot directly east of the Old School Square complex
along N.E. 1st Avenue. We concur with the recommendation to exclude the new construction intrusions
along N.W. and S.W. 1st Avenue, since this redrawing of boundaries strengthens the density of
contributing structures within the district. However, we believe that if the recommendation is extended
to the local district designation to exclude empty lots at the northwest corner of the district along the 200
block of N.W. 1st Avenue and the parking lot east of Old School Square complex, this would need
further review and consideration. While the same argument can be made that these reductions in
boundaries strengthen the density of contributing structures, it is nonetheless beneficial at the local level
to be able to have some control and review over future infill construction in these lots, since visually the
continuity or lack thereof remains the same whether the boundary is modified or not.The Old School
Square Historic District at first blush appears to have sufficient historical and architectural significance
to be potentially eligible for historic district nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
Similarly, there are a number of structures that appear potentially eligible for individual nomination to
the National Register.
• The City of Delray Beach should consider funding a project to undertake the necessary research and
documentation leading to the preparation of a National Register historic district nomination proposal for
OSSHD, or to nominating additional individual properties for National Register listing.

III. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS yk
■ Consideration of Ordinance 09-10, for City-initiated amendments to the Land Development
Regulations (LDR) by amending Article 4.4, "Base Zoning District", Section 4.4.9, "General
Commercial District", Subsection (B), "Principal Uses and Structures Permitted"; Section
4.4.13, "Central Business District", Subsection (B), "Principal Uses and Structures
Permitted"; Section 4.4.15, "Planned Office Center District", Subsection (B) "Principal Uses
and Structures Permitted"; Section 4.4.16, "Professional and Office District", Subsection (B),
"Principal Uses and Structures Permitted"; Section 4.4.17, "Residential Office District",
Subsection (B) "Principal Uses and Structures Permitted"; and (G) "Supplemental District
Regulations"; Amending Appendix "A", "Definitions", to enact revised or new definitions for
"Medical Clinic", "Medical Laboratory", and "Professional Offices". A recommendation to the
Planning and Zoning Board will be made.
On October 20, 2009, the City Commission adopted Ordinance 50-09, which revised the
definition of the term "Professional Office" to specify that the definition "does not include
medical office." This revision created an unintended result, which was the exclusion of
medical office uses in zoning districts where they had been previously permitted and
allowed under the broader professional office use. It is noted that no new uses are being

introduced to any of the zoning districts included in the subject ordinance. Those zoning
districts where the clarification is proposed are as follows:
■ General Commercial
■ Central Business District
■ Planned Office Center
• Professional and Office District
• Residential Office
In addition, the term "Clinic" is revised to "Medical Clinic," while this definition remains
unchanged. A new term "Medical Laboratory" and a corresponding definition are also
included, as well as a revision to the "Professional Office" definition to include specific
examples.

amendment to the Land Development Regulations, by adopting the findings of fact and law
contained in the Staff Report and finding that the request is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5).
■ Consideration of a City-Initiated Ordinance 10-10, acceptance of the resurvey report for the
Old School Square Historic District including extending the Period of Significance to 1965
and reclassifying 13 properties from non-contributing to contributing. A recommendation to
the City Commission will be made.
The City hired RJ Heisenbottle Architects, Inc. (Heisenbottle) to conduct a survey of the Del-
Ida Park, Nassau Park, Old School Square, and West Settlers. Historic Districts from July
2008 — January 2009. The objective was to survey all properties developed at least thirty-
five years ago within each of the aforementioned districts and to'identify those which contain
both contributing and non-contributing buildings and structures:':A;historical overview of each
area was provided in the final survey report, which wasreviewed by:the City Commission at
its workshop on February 10, 2009.
All of the recommendations regarding the Period 'of Significance extension and property
reclassifications for the Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, and West Settlers Historic Districts were
adopted in 2009; the resurvey report for the Old..School Square Historic District has not yet
been accepted by the City Commission.
In 2009, Ordinance 16-09 was prepared based on the resurvey's findings that the POS be
extended to 1965 and that 23 properties be reclassified:to,contributing. The Ordinance did
not pass on 2nd reading at the City Commission:meeting of June 2, 2009, and direction was
given to individually poll each property owner directly impacted by the reclassifications. In
November 2009, a formal;notice was..sent to all property owners within the Old School
Square Historic District inviting"them to a`HPB.Workshop to•`review the resurvey, and also to
provide additional,information about the benefits of historic preservation and the contributing
classification
•
In February 2010,--a'certified ,mail nga:was sent to the 23 property owners which included
similar information provided at'the Workshop,,;:as well as a "Property Owner Reclassification
Form,'-'to:indicate their support of the reclassification, along with an explanation for either
their support or lack;thereof..'A return self-addressed, stamped envelope was provided to
each property owner to ensure.that the form would be returned.
Basedon the returned forms, Ordinance 10-10 has been created which provides for the
acceptance of the resurvey:report, extension of the POS to 1965, and the reclassification of
13 properties:to contributing. Additional recommendations noted in the report are that listing
on the National. Register of Historic Places be sought for the entire district, and that
consideration begiven::to expand the district's southern boundary to SE/SW 4'h Street.
Review by Others
It is noted that Ordinance 10-10 was not reviewed by the following Advisory Boards as it not
contrary to those recommendations made during review of Ordinance 16-09. Ordinance 10-
10 provides for the reclassification of 13 of the 23 properties originally included in Ordinance
16-09. Therefore, the Advisory Board recommendations for Ordinance 16-09 are noted

Board Discussion: %1
�Mr. Paul Babij, 207 SW 1st Avenue, inquired who determines which properties get
4reclassified. Mr. Sloan advised the homeowners. Ms. Alvarez advised it started with a
resurvey and the resurvey recommended certain properties to be reclassified. We sent out
a Request for Proposal (RFP) and five or six professionals sent in proposals. Based on their
qualifications sct t cnnd ce w
report.uali Per cation the we directionele ed of he the coity Commissionsultanta he wedid left all itthe up resear to the h homeowners andcam whetherupiththis or
not they would be reclassified.
Public Comments: ` t' ,, .
Mr. Don Murakami, 326 NE 1st Avenue, advised he would like to have assurances that his
property always remains non-contributing. I support the historic district. My property is
restricted and limited given the current design. It does not have storage space or closets. It
is about 500 square feet. Therefore, I don't want to have to come back every time there is a
new survey. There have been different opinions on our property. I would like some
assurances that our property remains nonconforming.
Mr. Sloan inquired what Mr. Murakami's concern was being contributing. Mr. Murakami
advised there is a principal next door that has some potential and my question is, does each
of the properties have to stand alone or can you aggregate and still maintain the guidelines
of the historic district? Can you buy two pieces of property next to each other(unity of title) ®A
enhance as a project and not stand alone. Ms. Pyburn advised yes, you would purchase
additional property and get a unity of title but you have to keep in mind whatever you do to
the structure you still have to follow the guidelines. Mr. Cope advised if a non-contributing
parcel abuts a contributing parcel what do you have? Ms. Pyburn advised you would have
to look at each one separately. Mr. Cope inquired how would a contributing situation be
handled. Ms. Pyburn advised it would have to be looked at on a case by case basis.
Mr. Cheryl Abramson, 21 NW 2nd Street, advised she has a question and would like to get
some clarification from the Board. I know you are trying to extend the period of significance
to 1965. I don't understand from the report I read these over and over and over again. Are
they suggesting in the Heisenbottle report that refers back to the GAI survey when it
pertains to the OSSHAD district. What is the purpose of expanding? What are the Board's
suggestions?
Ms. Alvarez advised in any instance 25 .a s you never automatically assume something is
contributing because of its age. There are many structures in this historic district that were
built in 1955 that were never recommended for contributing by this report. As far as the
4
Minutes - Historic Preservation Board Meeting — May 5, 2010
period of significance 1965 is the cutoff date to correspond between the 1960s and 1990s.
Heisenbottle has looked at a period of significance. If you have a structure built in 1957 it
can be eligible but it may not mean anything that is looking at the 0 year rule. Construction
in that time period the area in OSSHAD continued through 19 . There is nothing that
exists from 1960 to 1965. You are still looking at each property on a case-by-case basis
regardless of the age.
Ms. Abramson inquired how would you pick some of those structures to be historically
significant. Ms. Alvarez advised when you look at the properties and the historic district as a
whole you are not doing a complete on each structure. You are looking at it how
it contributes to the district.
Ms. DelFiandra advised a lot of the veterans who came out of World War II and Korea were
able to purchase homes through the VA Bill. These were simple houses and that is the
significance of the period.
Ms. Alvarez advised to address Mr. Murakami, we are going through this ordinance and the
property would be non-contributing and the consultant will be reevaluating the property.
These reclassifications are not written in stone.
Mr. Sloan advised the City Commission is free to make a decision. and our Board will have
different people on it in five years. The districts will be reevaluated in five years.
Mr. Murakami advised he recommended if the board could review the development
guidelines for the OSSHAD as it is different from the residential district. The guidelines
should be reviewed and studied for the OSSHAD district. The guidelines for OSSHAD
which are the same are restrictive and economically, historically, and architecturally it works
more against than for what you are trying to achieve. Ms. Alvarez advised she did get a
letter from the property owners in the district supporting the ordinance.
Motion
Motion made by Mr. Cope, seconded by Ms. Sexton, and approved 6 to 0 (Ms. Sernoff
absent) to move approval to the City Commission of Ordinance 10-10 providing for the
extension of the Period of Significance to 1965, and reclassification of 13 properties from
non-contributing to contributing.
