In particular,we would like to acknowledge Dr.James Miller, State Archaeologist, and Louis Tesar of the Bureau of Archaeological Research for their work in the preparation of the Archaeological Contexts and early drafts of a comprehensive plan. Hank Vinson,who prepared our Planning Process Document (PPD), created the framework for much of this plan. We would also like to thank other members of the staff of the Division of Historical Resources who reviewed parts of the plan for us: Rusty Ennemoser, David Ferro, Frederick Gaske, Laura Kammerer, and Marion Smith. Several col- leagues provided technical assistance for which we are particularly grateful: Michael Wisenbaker for graphs, Carl Shiver for maps, and Robert Taylor for data base management. We would also like to thank Cynthia Hardin, Executive Director of the Florida Trust for Historic Preser- vation, for her valuable insight, and the following local preservation officers who helped us arrange the public workshops: Stephanie Ferrell,Manager of the Tampa/Hillsborough County Historic Preservation Board; Jodi Rubin, Historic Preservation Planner for the City of Orlando; Ellen Uguccioni, Director of the Historic Preservation Department of the City of Coral Gables;Joel McEachin, City Planner for the City of Jacksonville; and Tom Muir of the Historic Pensacola Preservation Board. The National Park Service staff has been very supportive and helpful. We would especially like to thank Ruthanne Mitchell and Sue Henry. Finally,we would like to express our appreciation to all who participated in the planning process by completing questionnaires and attending the workshops. GARY V. GOODWIN BARBARA E.

The hotel was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. People have inhabited Florida for over 12,000 years,but the state's historical record begins with the sixteenth century arrival of Europeans to the peninsula. Florida was named by Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon when he first saw this land during Pascua Florida, the Feast of Flowers, at Easter 1513. He was followed by other Spaniards who established St.Augustine in the land of the native Timucuan Indian people in 1565. This settlement became the oldest continuously occupied city in the United States. Pensacola to the west was the only other major Spanish settlement. The Spanish set about colonizing their new found land by establishing missions among the native peoples. Over the next two and a half centuries, Florida was the arena of colonial rivalry between the Spanish, French, British, and Americans, until it became a United States territory in 1821. In 1824, Tallahassee, meaning"Old Town,"was established as the territorial capital in central north Florida, midway between St.Augustine and Pensacola. The new city was established on the site of what years before had been the capital of the native Apalachee Indian people. Settlers were attracted to the rich agricultural lands around Tallahassee, though settlement was slowed by the Second Seminole War (1838-1842). By 1845, however, Florida was ready for statehood. Presi- dent John Tyler signed the law admitting Florida into the Union as the 27th state on March 3, 1845. Floridians had been part of the Union only sixteen years, however, before they seceded to join the 1 Confederacy on January 10, 1861. In addition to the approximately 5,000 Floridians who died in the war, the state furnished salt, beef, and other foodstuffs to the Confederate forces. Recovery after the Civil War was slow, and Florida remained fairly sparsely populated until the 1920s, even though by the turn of the century the construction of railroads had opened up the interior and southern reaches of the state. Agriculture, including citrus growing and the lumber/naval stores industry;and a fledgling tourist industry became the mainstays of Florida's economy. The Florida Land Boom of the 1920s brought rapid growth that expanded until it collapsed in 1926, ushering Florida into economic depression before the rest of the country experienced it. During World War II, the excellent Florida climate made the state ideal for military training, and many bases were established there. After the war, many former military families returned to Florida, beginning a period of intensive growth which continues today. In the 1960s, Florida became the major launching site for manned space flights as the United States entered the space race. Floridians joined the rest of the world on July 20, 1969, as they watched the first landing of a man on the moon, a feat that began with the launching of Apollo XI from Cape Canaveral, Florida. These two major phases of rapid growth have left Florida with a legacy which sometimes belies the state's richness in historical resources. Although the nation's earliest recorded history relates to events that occurred in Florida, the general perception is that Florida is a young state, dating from the 1920s or perhaps even since World War II. This perception is bolstered by the fact that many of Florida's communities were developed in the post war era or created in the technological boom of the 1960s. In reality, then, Florida has a rich and fascinating past, for it was the gateway to the New World and is now the threshold to space. Its cultural heritage represents the presence and activities of people for over 12,000 years. This heritage is embodied in historic buildings and other structures, prehistoric and historic archaeological sites, artifacts, documents, and public records, as well as in the traditions and folkways of the state's diverse citizenry. All of this evidence of our past makes up Florida's cultural and historical resources. Historic resources provide not only continuity with our past, but also create jobs, improve housing, enhance our quality of life, and along with the state's unique natural resources, draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Despite the growing public appreciation of both cultural and historical resources, each year irreplaceable buildings are bulldozed, historic public records are lost, archaeological sites are destroyed, and cultural traditions are forgotten. Although there are limits to our ability to preserve our cultural heritage, there are numerous possibili- ties available for both public and private institutions and for individuals. This plan is designed in part to describe available programs that can be used to achieve preservation goals. The plan addresses various financial assistance programs, such as tax incentives, grants-in-aid and land acquisition, as well as many types of technical assistance which are available. The plan is divided into four major sections: Existing Preservation Programs in Florida, the Planning Process in Florida, Preservation Objectives and Strategies,and Appendices. It is hoped that this plan demonstrates the active preservation program that is already in place in Florida, making you aware of the preservation opportunities that are available to you. We encourage you to participate in the preser- vation planning process and in the implementation of the plan. Together,we can save more of Florida's past for the future. 2 CEATuaf ii LE B�`�Oo �°3�C� T�°3�0M�°3VA`2�B OO D- �20 DOMAR BD OO mu it E i `4' "Y " � `+ e . _' fr r ' � y S :_ i p r- _,- Ay ......iitiC 1 --- 4,:::"-4-.4: ';'', .: --':'--:-'' ''' • ; -4-4-•'4'--,:- ,.:*•: -,v4.47-:'' '------;-:-"----'-'''''''":1'''''.-4.;,:"..:',.,.1.fr,•„.,,,4,i;:-.:,i'.-- 1.,-"""-,,---:;"'":" ",.,"..,":-",..--::::::".:: :- , ::: - -if."—: . .

Although governmental agencies have been responsible for most programs, the private sector has implemented many successful initiatives of its own. The present successes of Florida's public and private preservation community can be traced to a long history of co-development and cooperation. The Development of Historic Preservation Programs in Florida Prior to the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Public Law 98-665),and the subsequent Florida Archives and History Act of 1967, Florida's statewide preservation programs devel- oped in a sporadic and disjointed pattern. Although some early continuity was provided by the Florida Historical Society,the Florida Anthropological Society, the Florida Association of the American Institute of Architects, and other professional and amateur groups, no coordinated statewide preservation move- ment actually existed. General public interest in statewide historic preservation expanded during the Depression. The Florida Writer's Project and the Historic American Buildings Survey both pioneered the systematic statewide collection of local historical information. Early 1930s-era preservation programs were further aug- mented by the inclusion of historic sites within the newly created state park system, and with the growing importance of historic sites to Florida's fledgling tourist industry. Florida's explosive growth during the 1940s and 1950s provided the catalyst for the development of coordinated statewide preservation action. This rapid change, though beneficial to many sections of the state's population and economy, threatened to destroy much of Florida's remaining historic resources. The statutory creation of a preservation board in St.Augustine in 1959 officially ushered in a new era of statewide historic resources protection. The 1960s saw increased state governmental involvement in preservation efforts in Florida. In 1961, both the Florida Board of Antiquities and the position of State Archaeologist were created. The passage of the Florida Archives and History Act (Chapter 267, F.S.) in 1967 reorganized the old Board of Antiqui- ties into the Florida Board of Archives and History. This action consolidated a wide variety of preserva- tion functions from several state agencies into a single governmental entity. Through state government reorganization in 1969,the Florida Board of Archives and History became the Division of Archives, History, and Records Management under the Department of State. In 1986, Chapter 267 was amended as the Florida Historical Resources Act, and the Division of Archives, History, and Records Management was renamed the Division of Historical Resources (DHR), Florida's State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Since that time, DHR has continued to provide leadership in instituting many state level preservation programs that now exist in Florida. 5 EXISTING PRESERVATION PROGRAMS IN FLORIDA This section identifies private organizations and federal, state, and local governmental agencies that administer or implement historic preservation programs in Florida. Several of these agencies have primary responsibilities quite apart from the realm of historic preservation; only their preservation- related programs are described here. Additional information concerning any program should be ob- tained from the agency or organization. Current program contacts have been supplied where possible. FEDERAL PRESERVATION PROGRAMS As a major land holder in Florida, the federal government manages many of the state's historic and archaeological resources. Without coordination between federal and state agencies,the development and implementation of an effective statewide preservation program is hampered. Involved federal agencies include the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Department of the Interior (Na- tional Park Service), the Department of Agriculture (U.S. Forest Service),the Department of Transpor- tation, and the Department of Defense. ADVISORY COUNCIL ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, established by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, is an independent federal agency that advises the President and the Congress on national historic preservation policy. The Council reviews and comments on federal and federally assisted activities that affect properties listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. In addition, the Council reports to the President and the Congress on the status of historic preservation in the nation; assesses the effectiveness of state, local, and private programs that carry out the purposes of the Na- tional Historic Preservation Act; and makes recommendations on how to improve nationwide historic preservation programs. The Council is composed of nineteen members: four members from the general public, four historic preservation experts, one governor, one mayor, four federal agency heads, the Secretaries of the Depart- ments of the Interior and Agriculture, the Architect of the Capitol, the Chairman of the National Trust for Historic Preservation,and the President of the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers. The Council's executive offices and eastern office for project review (which covers the review of projects in Florida) are located in Washington, D.C. For more information, contact the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, Old Post Office Building, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W., Suite 809, Washington, D.C.20004, (202) 606-8505. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior, established by Congress in 1849, advances nationwide historic preserva- tion programs through the administration of the nation's system of national parks and by coordinating preservation programs available to the states. 6 National Park Service Created by Congress in 1916, the National Park Service is charged with the management and protection of a large percentage of the nation's natural and cultural resources. In Florida, the Park Service admin- isters 11 cultural sites as national monuments or parks. In addition, many of the Park Service's other properties, including the Gulf Islands and Canaveral national seashores and the Dry Tortugas, Biscayne, and Everglades National Parks, contain many significant historic and archaeological resources. The Park Service is responsible for administering many of the federal preservation programs currently available in Florida, including the National Register of Historic Places,the National Historic Landmarks Program, and the National Historic Preservation Grants-in-Aid Program. National Register of Historic Places The National Register of Historic Places, created by the Historic Sites Act of 1935 and expanded through the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, is the nation's roster of districts, sites,buildings, struc- tures, and objects significant to American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. The National Register is expanded through nominations by individuals, organizations, state and local governments, and federal agencies. National Historic Landmarks Program This program, established by the Historic Sites Act of 1935, identifies and designates historic sites, objects, and structures of national significance. After designation as a National Historic Landmark, the owner of the site is asked to adopt certain management practices that will protect the landmark's significant values and will allow the National Park Service to perform annual inspections. Currently (July 1995), 32 Florida sites are listed as national historic landmarks (Figure 2.1). National Historic Preservation Grants-in-Aid Program With the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Register Program was expanded to authorize grants to governments, private groups, and individuals for historic preservation. Grant funds apportioned to the State of Florida are awarded and administered by the Division of Histori- cal Resources. Grants are usually awarded for survey and planning or community education activities, and are generally calculated on a fifty-fifty matching basis. In the last year 26 projects received federal historic preservation grant funding in Florida. UNITED STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The U.S. Department of Agriculture has one unit that is involved in the preservation of historic and archaeological resources in Florida,the United States Forest Service. United States Forest Service The United States Forest Service, created by Congress in 1905, is tasked with the protection and man- agement of over 1,135,000 acres of National Forests in Florida. The state's national forests, including the Apalachicola, Ocala, Osceola, and Choctawhatchee, contain a wealth of archaeological and historic resources. 7 The Forest Service's commitment to cultural resources protection was increased in 1985 with the completion of an agency resource management plan and environmental impact statement for the National Forests in Florida. This plan named archaeological and historic resources as two of six special interest areas to receive attention in future forest management programs. Since that time, the Forest Service's ongoing archaeological research projects and cultural resource interpretive programs have done much to expand the public's knowledge and appreciation of Florida's historic past. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION The U.S. Department of Transportation, established in 1968, is charged with the development, regula- tion, and maintenance of the nation's transportation systems. The Department's Federal Highways Administration administers one program that is designed to promote the preservation of historic resources in Florida. Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act In 1991, Congress passed the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). This Act, funded through the Highway and Mass Transit Trust Fund, authorized approximately $151 billion in Federal funds to construct and maintain highways, bridges, and mass transit facilities. ISTEA is particularly useful to historic preservation efforts by requiring that each state spend 10% of its earmarked Surface Transportation Funds (STFs) for"transportation enhancement activities"of which historic preservation is a specifically permitted use. ISTEA's preservation related activities include acquiring scenic easements and historic sites; initiating scenic or historic highway programs; undertak- ing landscaping and scenic beautification; rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation build- ings and facilities, and preserving abandoned railroad corridors. Several Florida preservation projects, such as the rehabilitation of Tampa's Union Station and Key West's Custom House, the production and erection of Department of Transportation trailblazer signs for the Florida Heritage Marker Program, and the conversion of the Florida Master Site File's paper format to digital format to initiate a Geographical Information System (GIS), have received substantial ISTEA funding. UNITES STATES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The United States Department of Defense, established in 1949, comprises the departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Although preserving historic resources is not the major impetus behind the large number of programs under the Department's administration, it is, nevertheless, actively involved in statewide preservation efforts. Many military bases in Florida, including Pensacola and Jacksonville Naval Air Stations, Mayport Naval Station, and the Tyndall, Eglin, and Patrick Air Force Bases, contain many significant archaeological and historic resources. The Department, in cooperation with both the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and the Florida State Historic Preservation Office, submits resource altering projects for review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. In addition, the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force are each required by applicable federal regulations to develop preservation guidelines to direct servicewide preservation activities. For each military installation containing significant cultural resources, comprehensive preservation plans are also required. 8 STATE PRESERVATION PROGRAMS To ensure the continued existence of historic resources on state managed lands,and to assist local governments, preservation organizations, and private individuals with their preservation efforts, several state agencies administer preservation programs designed to protect Florida's cultural resources. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF STATE The Florida Department of State is tasked with the regulation of the establishment of corporations, monitoring the legality of statewide elections, maintenance of the State Library and Archives, and preservation of the Florida's native traditions, folkways, and historic resources. Within the Department, the Divisions of Historical Resources and Library and Information Services administer programs to protect the state's historic and prehistoric resources. Division of Historical Resources In 1967, the Florida Legislature passed the Florida Archives and History Act (Chapter 267, F.S.). This action assigned a wide range of historic preservation responsibilities to the Department of State's Division of Archives, History, and Records Management. For the first time, the responsibility for preserving historic resources rested solely with a single state agency. In 1986, Chapter 267 was amended as the Florida Historical Resources Act. In addition,the Division of Archives, History, and Records Management was renamed the Division of Historical Resources (DHR) and all archives and records management responsibilities were transferred to the Division of Library and Information Services. The Division of Historical Resources is responsible for locating, identifying, acquiring, interpreting, and protecting historic and archaeological resources throughout the state. The Division also promotes statewide historic preservation programs, administers Florida's statewide preservation grants-in-aid program, and develops Florida's statewide comprehensive historic preservation plan. The Director of the Division serves as the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), the Chief of the Division's Bureau of Historic Preservation serves as the Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer,and the Chief of the Division's Bureau of Archaeological Research serves as the State Archaeologist. Presently, the Division administers several programs designed to further preservation efforts statewide. Bureau of Historic Preservation State Survey and Registration Program Formal recognition of significant historic sites and properties in.Florida is provided by listing them in the National Register of Historic Places. The SHPO staff actively encourages communities and individu- als to nominate significant historic resources, particularly those pertaining to poorly represented periods of the state's history. Proposals for nominating properties to the National Register are processed by the Survey and Registra- tion staff and reviewed by the Florida National Register Review Board. All projects are assessed in accordance with federal regulations governing the program's administration (36 CFR 60). The staff also provides technical assistance to local agencies, private organizations, and individuals in the preparation of nomination proposals. 9 26 I i 4 « 7 1 a t o o w..,o 2 If "rAFFISII:451' 3 11111 7 1 VPII ilea:2D, 28 q41, kat 20 1M S 14 km mcco 1 28 wu rot BREVINIO 64 4 WOMB WEB 59 Ell191 oESOu 71 2 stwuE c.R.ccu 1 WW2 13 E 0 __ too 32r 40 COWER 15 NUMBER OF NATIONAL REGISTER LISTINGS IN 13 FLORIDA BY COUNTY (as of August 10, 1995) MONROE lir FIGURE 1.1 ,,gyp 26 7 NZ T 10 1 I 4 . 1 3 a o o WILTON 3 1 ...ER 4 ., 3 . 13`��S °"°°4 p sky 4 5 AO 5 6 uw C# cz 23 gliOr IWO.

This often occurs as part of SHPO environmental review activities, in aid of local governments, or for certified local governments as part of Florida's long range preservation planning activities. Currently (August 10, 1995), there are 1047 National Register listings in Florida, encompassing 26,629 resources. Those wishing more information regarding the National Register program should contact the Survey and Registration Section, Bureau of Historic Preservation, R.A. Gray Building, 500 South Bronough Street,Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0250, (850) 487-2333, Suncom 277-2333. The New Florida Heritage Marker Program was established in 1994. (Photo courtesy of the Bureau of Historic Preservation) State Historic Markers Program The Florida State Historic Marker Program is a cooperative effort between the Department of State and local organizations to recognize and mark sites reflecting the cultural and historical development of the state. Originally, the responsibility of the Florida Board of Parks and Historic Memorials, the historic marker program has been continued through the efforts of the Bureau of Historic Preservation.Through this program and the participation of over 200 local historical organizations, the program has resulted in the erecting of 356 historic markers in 64 of Florida's 67 counties. These markers are easily identifiable by their green color, gold lettering, and the Great Seal of the State of Florida found at the top. In 1994, the Florida Legislature reauthorized the Historic Marker Program to recognize properties, persons, and events significant in the areas of architecture, history, and archaeology at the local, re- gional, and statewide levels. The new markers are blue with white lettering and the Florida Heritage 11 logo is used in place of the Great Seal of the State of Florida. Marker applications, to be considered by a five-member Florida Marker Council, can be made in the following categories: Florida Heritage Land- marks,which are resources of regional or statewide significance that are 50 or more years old;and • Florida Heritage Sites,which are resources of local, regional, or statewide significance that are 30 or more years old. In addition to Florida Historic Markers, properties associated with persons of historic significance can be recognized with Florida Heritage Plaques,twelve-inch, round,signs with white letters on a blue background. The information on plaques will include the name of the significant person and the years in which that person was associated with the site. From time to time, matching grants to help applicants purchase Florida Historic Markers and Plaques will be made available under a program administered by the Grants and Education Section of the Bureau of Historic Preservation. For more information, contact the Bureau of Historic Preservation, Survey and Registration Section, R.A. Gray Building, 500 South Bronough Street,Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0250, (850) 487-2333, Suncom 277-2333. State Historic Preservation Grants-in-Aid The Division of Historical Resources,with assistance from the Historic Preservation Advisory Council, a 12-member citizen panel appointed by the Secretary of State,administers Florida's historic preservation grants-in-aid program. These grants, authorized by Section 267.0617 and Chapter 1A-35, F.A.C.,are awarded to local governments, other state agencies, and not-for-profit organizations for survey and regis- tration activities and for the restoration, rehabilitation, and preservation of historic properties. Funds are also used for increasing public awareness of historic resources through community education projects. Grant funds are allocated in three annual grant cycles,and grants are made from the Historic Preserva- tion Trust Fund which accrues money from three sources. The first source is state funds from a dedicated source of funding through the licensing of Fictitious Names for businesses, and from annual appropria- tions from the Florida Legislature. The second source is federal funding which comes from an annual apportionment of funds from the U.S. Department of the Interior. The third source includes donations received from pari-mutuel industry special Charity Days at racetracks and jai-alai frontons. Federal funds in Florida are used for survey and planning activities and community education projects. Except for special cases, such as the Bicentennial Lighthouse Fund grants awarded in 1988-1990, federal grant funds are not used for restoration and rehabilitation activities. State funds, are available for all categories of projects including restoration and rehabilitation projects, survey and planning activities,and community education activities. Special Category grants are state grants awarded for major restoration and rehabilita- tion projects, including archaeological excavations,with needs in excess of$50,000. Since 1983, more than $81 million has gone to assist over 1,300 preservation projects in all 67 counties. In early 1995, the Department of State decided to analyze its grant programs and streamline them if possible. These grant programs include those of the Division of Cultural Affairs and the Division of Library and Information Services, as well as the following types of grants administered by the Division of Historical Resources: (1) Historical Museum Grants for Exhibits on Florida History or for General Operating Support (2) Basic Matching Grants for Historic Preservation Projects (3) Special Category Grants for Historic Preservation or Historical Museum Projects 12 Approximately 400 surveys were distributed to the grantees of the Divisions of Cultural Affairs and Historical Resources for fiscal year 1994-95. Surveys were returned by 128 of those receiving them. After an analysis of the survey responses, seven key issues were identified and recommendations were made in each area. Progress has already been made in response to these recommendations; however, where we have not yet accomplished what we desire, an objective has been written and incorporated into the Statewide Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan.

Preservation Tax Incentive Program Since the 1970s, the federal government has offered tax credits for investment in income-producing historic properties. This credit has had a major influence on redeveloping older commercial areas around the country. Implementation of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, however, substantially reduced the level of private invest- ment in historic rehabilitation projects in Florida. During Federal Fiscal Year 1991, only 19 rehabilita- tion projects were submitted for approval, representing an average project cost of$353,000. This is less than one third of the $1.3 million average project investment documented for fiscal year 1985. The current Tax Act provides a 20% investment tax credit for expenditures incurred in the rehabilitation of depreciable certified historic structures. Certified historic structures are buildings that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as contributing to the significance of a registered historic district, determined to be eligible for individual or district listing in the National Register, or designated contributing to a locally certified district. The Tax Incentives Program requires that a rehabilitation project be designated a"Certified Restoration" (consistent with the historic character of the property and,where applicable, the district in which the property is located). The project must also constitute a"substantial restoration"as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. A 10% tax credit is offered for the substantial rehabilitation for nonresidential purposes of buildings which were built before 1936 and which do not qualify as Certified Historic Build- ings. The 1992 Florida Legislature proposed two measures to offset the negative effects of the 1986 Tax Act. These two measures called for an amendment to the Florida Constitution and complementary additions to Chapter 196, Florida Statutes. In November 1992, the citizens of Florida approved the constitutional amendment. Specifically,the amendment allows local governments to grant an ad valorem tax exemp- tion to the owner of a historic property engaged in rehabilitation or renovation projects that meet approved guidelines. This exemption may cover up to 100% of the assessed value of the improvements, and may last for a period of up to 10 years. Local ordinances must specify the amount and period of the exemption, and type and location of historic properties eligible for the exemption. Property owners must agree to maintain the qualifying improvements and the character of the property for the period of the exemption. 13 For further information regarding tax incentive programs, contact the Architectural Preservation Services Section, Bureau of Historic Preservation, R.A.

Historic Preservation Compliance and Review Program The Historic Preservation Compliance and Review program is concerned primarily with reviewing environment altering projects in accordance with state and federal regulations. Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966,any federally involved project, including permitting, grants, loans, or some other direct federal support, must be reviewed to determine what effect, if any, the project will have on archaeological or historic sites or properties listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. This review is conducted in accordance with procedures contained in 36 CFR 800 ("Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties"). Section 267.061(2), Florida Statutes, parallels the federal program by directing that state agencies also consider the effects of any state action on significant properties. Chapters 253, 373, 380, and 403, Florida Statutes, provide additional protec- tion requiring that projects be reviewed for impacts to historic resources under Florida's environmental review laws. The Bureau of Historic Preservation's Compliance and Review Section reviews around 6800 projects annually. Of these, roughly 75% have federal involvement. These projects include highway develop- ment, developments of regional impact, federal and state dredge and fill permits, and new housing and loan guarantees, among many others. In addition to simply reviewing projects, the Bureau provides technical assistance to developers, other reviewing agencies, and the public on the historic preservation review process and alternative means of development to ensure the protection of significant historical resources. For the majority of reviewed projects, the information provided by the applicant along with a records check of data contained in the Florida Master Site File (see page 15) is sufficient. When structures that are less than fifty years old involved, the staff of the Bureau's Survey and Registration Section is con- sulted to evaluate the site's significance. If significant structures are involved, the staff of the Bureau's Architectural Preservation Services Section is consulted to determine whether the project will affect the structures adversely and whether the project is being reviewed for Tax Act or grant purposes. When project activities are deemed likely to affect significant sites,the Bureau of Historic Preservation will generally recommend that project plans be modified to permit either the preservation of the entire site, or, as in the case of large archaeological sites, a representative sample of the affected area. If preservation is not possible, the Bureau will generally recommend that the project be mitigated by data recovery at the site or sites. Mitigation actions may include archaeological excavation or documenta- tion of the architectural fabric and history of the involved sites or structures. If any measures are taken to mitigate a project's impact, the resulting report must be submitted to the Bureau of Historic Preser- vation to complete the process. When federally involved projects affect significant sites, it is often necessary to implement a project Memorandum of Agreement,which is developed by the lead agency, the Bureau of Historic Preservation serving as the SHPO, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preser- vation in Washington, D.C. Historic buildings are occasionally destroyed because it is not economically feasible to rehabilitate. When this happens, it is important to record these structures before they are demolished. Likewise, if an historic building is slated for substantial modification, a record of the structure's historic fabric should be made prior to initiating construction.A structure's record should contain its architectural 14 Flowchart of Section 106 Compliance IDENTIFY/EVALUATE FIGURE 1.3 HISTORIC PROPERTIES* Service Allocates Possible Historic Properties and Evaluates National Register Eligibility with SHPO Disagreement About Eligibility Service Obtains Determination from National Park Service No Historic Historic ASSESS EFFECTS* Property Property — Service and SHPO Apply Criteria of Effect and Adverse Effect CONSULTATION* Service Service Service and SHPO(Others)Consult;Services Notifies Council; Notifies Complies No Effect No Adverse Effect Adverse Council Participation is Optional SHPO, with I I I Effect Interested Procedures in Parties; Preservation Service Notifies SHPO SHPO Does Memorandum of Agreement(MOA) Consultation Termination without Makes Plan and SHPO,Others Concurs; Not Concur; — Developed and Executed Agreement Documentation Programmatic Documentation Council Public Agreement to Council Reviews Findings I i I COUNCIL COMMENT* SHPO Council SHPO Objects; Council Proposes Does Service Does Changes Council not Finds if Not Objects Object Effect is Object service Service Council Proposes Adverse Agrees Disagrees Council Signs or Changes to MOA 9 Council Issues Accepts MOA Service Service Written Comments Agrees Disagrees Service Considers Service Complies with MOA Council Comments; Notifies Council of Decision PROCEED • description, its history, sketch drawings of the site and floor plans, and archival quality photographs of facades, streetscapes, interior features,and special detailing,where present. This information is gathered by the agency requesting demolition or modification and then archived by the Bureau of Historic Preser- vation. Depending on the nature of the structure's historic value, recording can take the form of a modified application of the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record Standards. These standards are attached to any memorandum of agreement drawn up for the implementation of federally funded housing programs which impact historic districts or properties. Similar requirements apply to state funded or assisted activities of agencies in the Executive Branch in accordance with Section 267.061(2), Florida Statutes.

Certified Local Government Program The Certified Local Government (CLG) Program resulted from the 1980 amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The program's main purpose is to encourage direct local government participation in federal and state historic preservation programs. The National Park Service requires that 10% of the federal annual apportionment to each state be awarded to Certified Local Governments. Local governments wishing to participate in the program must demonstrate a commitment to historic preservation by fulfilling five criteria. First, they must develop and enact a local historic preservation ordinance which provides for the identification and protection of historical resources, and identifies criteria for designation and evaluation of alterations to historic properties, including demolitions. Second,the local government must establish an adequate and professional historic preservation review commission based upon the ordinance's authorization. Third,the local government must initiate an active and ongoing survey or inventory of its historic resources. Fourth, the local government must provide for adequate public participation in its preservation activities. Finally, each CLG must partici- pate in State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and federal programs in an effort to establish a strong local-state-federal partnership. Currently (July 1995), there are 29 Florida communities participating in the Certified Local Government Program.

Main Street Program The Florida Main Street Program acts as a catalyst for efforts to preserve, revitalize and sustain the downtown commercial districts of Florida's mid-sized cities. Part of a national movement in forty states, with 1000 communities participating,the Florida Main Street Program supports local action that builds economic vitality, quality of life, and community pride centered on the city's traditional core. Since 1985, 35 cities have been designated as Florida Main Street Communities.

Florida Heritage Education Program In 1993, the Division of Historical Resources began developing the Florida Heritage Education Pro- gram.The goal of the program is to create and implement lesson plans about Florida's prehistoric and historic past and cultural diversity that can be integrated into the social studies program of study, Connections, Challenges and Choices.The program is designed to involve both preservationists and educators at all levels, from the Florida Department of State, to the local historical and anthropological societies that sponsor workshops and school field trips to local sites, to local school boards and class- room teachers. The program includes a diverse set of lesson plans on Florida Heritage and heritage resource guides for specific sites or districts. The first fourteen lesson plans and the first guide, the Historic State Capitol, are currently under development and should be ready for distribution in the fall of 1995. 24 The topics for lesson plans include both broad and specific subjects. Some, like Indian Mounds and Middens, are broad in nature and will apply to sites throughout the state. Others,such as the Cigar Industry, may be more specific to particular regions or cities in the state. The topics are divided into sections under the headings: Learning About the Past; Pre-Columbian Florida; Exploration and Colo- nial Period (1500-1800); Nineteenth Century;liventieth Century; Special Topics; and Preserving and Protecting Florida's Past. The lesson plans, although all different, have a continuity of design. Each plan contains sections on Course of Study, Objective, Materials,Vocabulary, Background, Test, Procedure, and Extensions. They combine to make a comprehensive package of plans that can be used individually or in tandem with other plans. The Division is also developing a manual which will aid groups that wish to participate in the creation of additional lesson plans or resource guides.

Since that time, the Florida Master Site File has become an integral part of the historic preservation process in Florida. The Master Site File provides information about what sites are recorded in particular areas,which evaluated sites are considered historically significant, and whether an area has been surveyed for his- toric resources. Because the Master Site File is only a compilation of all known sites for which informa- tion is available, it should be noted that a listing does not necessarily reflect a site's significance. In- deed, most sites have not been formally evaluated. However, even if no archaeological or historic sites have been recorded for a known location, the results of nearby surveys and the locations and character- istics of nearby sites can be used to evaluate the probability of sites being found there. In addition, Site File information provides comparative data that is useful in evaluating significance of properties pro- posed for listing in the National Register. Currently (July 1995), the computerized Master Site File contains in excess of 96,000 records of both standing structures and archaeological sites, and also more than 3900 survey reports and other manu- scripts. Those wishing to add sites to the Site File should contact the Florida Master Site File, Bureau of Archaeological Research, R.A. Gray Building, 500 South Bronough Street,Tallahassee, Florida 32399- 0250, (850) 487-2299 or Suncom 277-2299, for the necessary forms and instructions. Unmarked Human Burials Threatened sites that are known or suspected to contain human skeletal remains or grave goods are protected under provisions of Chapter 872, Florida Statutes. Specific procedures for determining the jurisdiction over and the disposition of human remains in archaeological contexts are outlined in Chapter 1A-44, F.A.C. ("Procedures for Reporting and Determining Jurisdiction over Unmarked Human Burials.") If you know of an archaeological site that contains human remains and is being threatened, contact the Bureau of Archaeological Research immediately at (850) 487-2299, Suncom 277-2299. Bureau staff should be able to suggest ways to protect the site. Archaeological Research Permits The Division of Historical Resources requires permits for all archaeological investigations on state owned lands, including diving permits for state submerged lands. Applications for such permits are reviewed to ensure that there is an actual need for the proposed work; that the work will be profession- ally done;and that all records, notes, and artifacts will be held by the Division or placed on loan to a recognized state institution. This policy's authority is found in Section 267.12, Florida Statutes,and implemented by procedures found in Rule Chapter 1A-32, F.A.C. Qualified archaeologists wishing to conduct investigations on state owned lands should contact the Bureau of Archaeological Research, R.A. Gray Building, 500 South Bronough Street,Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0250, (850) 487-2299, Suncom 277-2299. 26 Research and Conservation Laboratory The Research and Conservation Laboratory was established in the early 1970s to stabilize and conserve artifacts from archaeological sites. Since that time,the laboratory has gained experience in many different types of artifact conservation techniques. The most common types of artifacts treated include metal objects from shipwreck sites and prehistoric wood canoes. The Laboratory is also responsible for curation, management, and loan of the state's archaeological collections. The Laboratory processes artifacts from Florida, and from other sites in the United States and other countries. Major conservation projects are carried out under contracts with government agencies, research institutions, universities, historical societies, and private individuals. The Laboratory staff is available to answer questions about state owned artifacts and specific artifact conservation problems. For more information, contact the Research and Conservation Laboratory, R.A. Gray Building, 500 South Bronough Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0250, (850) 487-2299, Suncom 277-2299. Technical Assistance The Bureau of Archaeological Research provides technical assistance to state agencies, preservation organizations, and private citizens in the protection and management of archaeological sites. Assis- tance includes investigation, interpretation, and management advice on site protection and impact mitigation actions. For further information, contact the Bureau of Archaeological Research, R.A. Gray Building, 500 South Bronough Street,Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0250, (850) 487-2299, Suncom 277-2299. Bureau of Historical Museums The Bureau of Historical Museums manages four facilities in Tallahassee that draw more than 200,000 visitors each year: the Museum of Florida History, The Old Capitol, the Union Bank, and the San Luis Archaeological and Historic Site. The Bureau is also responsible for the collection, preservation and exhibition of traditional arts, and the presentation of traditional artists at festivals and community events throughout the state. The annual Florida Folk Festival,which the Bureau organizes, is the country's oldest continuous folk festival. For further information, contact the Bureau of Historical Museums, R.A.

The first Board was created in St.Augustine in 1959 and five others now exist: Pensacola, Tallahassee, Florida Keys, Palm Beach County, and Tampa-Hillsborough County. (Figure 1.6) The Broward Historic Preser- vation Board presently has no board members or staff. Each of the Preservation Boards is placed under general administrative control of the Division of Historical Resources. Their primary purpose is to acquire, restore, preserve, maintain, and operate historic landmarks for the benefit of the public. In addition, each Preservation Board is also active in recording sites and historical events which contribute to the knowledge and understanding of Florida's history. Each Preservation Board has from seven to eleven members appointed by the Governor for terms of two, three, or four years, and is assisted in its daily operations by a professional staff.

Florida State Archives The Florida State Archives is the central repository for the archives of the state government. By law, it is mandated to collect, preserve, and make available for research the historically significant records of the State, as well as private manuscripts, local government records, photographs, and other materials that complement official State records. For further information, contact the State Archives, R.A. Gray Build- ing, 500 South Bronough Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0250, (850) 487-2073, Suncom 277-2073. Florida Photographic Archives Located in the State Archives, the Florida Photographic Archives contains over 750,000 visual artifacts of Florida's people and places. The collection ranges from copies of 15th century maps to photographs dating from as early as 1845. The Photographic Archives also contains daguerreotypes, ambrotypes,and other examples of techniques that illustrate the development of modern photography. A major goal of the Archives is to document Florida's history with a comprehensive array of visual artifacts. The collec- tion program is ongoing and depends on public awareness and participation for support. Although the Photographic Archives does not loan items in its collection, it does provide copies of prints or negatives for most items for a nominal fee. A copy of the fee schedule is available upon request. For more information, contact the Florida Photographic Archives, do the Florida State Archives, R.A. Gray Building, 500 South Bronough Street,Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0250, (850) 487-2073, Suncom 277-2073. Document Conservation Laboratory As part of the Florida State Archives, the Document Conservation Laboratory's major goal is to preserve documents, books, and maps relating to Florida history. Some of the Conservation Laboratory's responsi- bilities include conserving records transferred to the State Archives;providing technical assistance to governmental agencies, universities, libraries, and individuals interested in the restoration and preserva- tion of historical source material; and conducting educational programs for interested groups and indi- viduals. Some of the Laboratory's preservation techniques include deacidification, lamination, encapsu- lation, and book repair.

Gray Building, 500 South Bronough Street,Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0250, (850) 487-2073, Suncom 277-2073. 30 Department of Environmental Protection The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (created in the 1993 merger of the Departments of Natural Resources and Environmental Regulation) is charged with the administration, management, conservation, and enhancement of state-owned natural and cultural resources in Florida. Two of the Department's divisions (State Lands and Recreation and Parks) administer programs directly related to the preservation of Florida's historic resources. Division of State Lands The Division of State Lands administers one program that has the potential for expanding the protec- tion of archaeological and historic resources around the state. Conservation and Recreation Lands (CARL) Program The Florida Legislature established the Conservation and Recreation Lands Trust Fund in 1979 to provide a means of acquiring environmentally endangered lands, including those lands containing significant archaeological and historic resources. Areas chosen for purchase are recommended to the Governor and Cabinet for approval by the Land Acquisition Advisory Council. The LAAC is composed of the Secretaries of the Departments of Environmental Protection and Community Affairs, the Executive Director of the Game and Freshwater Fish Commission, the Directors of the Divisions of Forestry and Historical Resources, and a designee of the Secretary of DER • To qualify for consideration, each project must satisfy one or more of six criteria: A project must 1) conserve and protect environmentally unique and irreplaceable lands that contain native, relatively unaltered flora and fauna representing a natural area unique to, or scarce within,a region of Florida or a larger geographic area; 2) conserve and protect lands within Areas of Critical State Concern which were designated pursuant to Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, if the proposed acquisition relates to the natural resource protection purposes of the designation; 3) conserve and protect significant habitat for native species or endangered or threatened species; 4) conserve, protect, manage, or restore important ecosystems, landscapes, and forests, if the protection and conservation of such lands is necessary to enhance or protect significant surface water, coastal, recreational, timber, fish or wildlife resources which cannot otherwise be accomplished through local or state regulatory programs; 5) provide areas, including recreational trails, for natural resource-based recreation; or 6) preserve significant archaeo- logical or historic resources. The Land Acquisition Advisory Council annually ranks proposed projects according to criteria in Rule Chapter 18-8, F.A.C. The Governor and Cabinet, acting as the Board of Trustees of the Internal Im- provement Trust Fund, then approves the list in priority order for acquisition based on the selection committee's recommendations. The Board can delete any project by citing its reason for the deletion. From 1980 to 1994, more than 105 historic and archaeological sites have been recommended for purchase under the program, including such significant sites as Fort San Luis, a 17th century Spanish fort and mission complex in Leon County, and the Charles Deering Estate, a 368 acre estate in Dade County. 31 CARL PROJECTS, 1980-1994 m ® ao NASSAU GADSDEN O O � HAMILTON 70 Q ®W MADISON 40 LEON W O 1 i BAKER DUVAL AILIlip.

Although 22 parks are managed as sites of distinct historic or archaeological significance, almost all units within the system contain resources of historic or archaeological signifi- cance. Under a current operating agreement, the Division of Recreation and Parks consults with the Division of Historical Resources regarding the management and interpretation of archaeological and historic sites on properties under the Park Service's administration. For further information regarding Florida Park Service cultural resource management programs, contact the Bureau of Natural and Cultural Resources, Division of Recreation and Parks, 3900 Com- monwealth Blvd.,Tallahassee, Florida 23299-3000, (850) 488-5090, Suncom 278-5090. Department of Community Affairs As Florida's lead planning agency,the Department of Community Affairs offers technical support and financial assistance to local and regional governments in a wide range of planning areas. The Department's Divisions of Resource Planning and Management and Housing and Community Develop- ment administer programs designed to assist local government in the preservation of historic resources. Division of Resource Planning and Management The Division of Resource Planning and Management administers one program that effects the preserva- tion of cultural resources in Florida, the Local Government Comprehensive Plan. Local Government Comprehensive Plans In 1985, the Florida Legislature took a major step in managing the state's growth and associated impact with the passage of substantial amendments to the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Growth Management Act (Chapter 163, F.S.). These amendments require all local governments to develop comprehensive plans to implement sound procedures to guide growth. Among other guidelines, Chapter 163 requires that local governments address the identification and preservation of historic resources in their adopted comprehensive plans. This can be accomplished by either developing applicable goals, objectives, and policies in several of the plan's elements, or consoli- dating all pertinent information into a single historic preservation element. Of the 458 comprehensive plans submitted by all of Florida's counties and incorporated cities, over 40 include a separate historic preservation element. Department of Commerce Community Contribution Tax Incentive Program The Community Contribution Tax Incentive Program was created by the Florida Legislature to encour- age corporate involvement and assistance for economically distressed communities. With the potential to address issues in historic preservation. This program, authorized by Section 220.183, F.S. and implemented by Chapter 8E-17, F.A.C., allows any corporation to receive a tax credit equal to 50% of a donation to an approved community development or historic preservation project.

PRIVATE PRESERVATION ORGANIZATIONS AND PROGRAMS National Trust for Historic Preservation The National Trust for Historic Preservation, chartered by Congress in 1949, is a private, non-profit organization that encourages public participation in the preservation of the history and culture of the United States. The National Trust is supported by both membership dues and a Congressional matching grant obtained through the Department of the Interior. The National Trust publishes a magazine,Preservation News, ten times a year as well as various other books and brochures on preservation related issues. The National Trust also acquires and manages historic properties around the country for the enjoyment and education of the public.The Trust's annual meeting is held in October. The National Trust also provides preservation grant monies through the Preservation Services Fund (PSF), the National Preservation Loan Fund (NPLF), and the Inner City Ventures Fund (ICVF) pro- grams. PSF awards typically range from$500 to $2,000; NPLF grants can range from$50,000 to $150,000 as a low interest short term loan; and ICVF funding varies between $40,000 and$100,000 as a combination loan and grant. Eligible PSF activities include preservation planning or design projects; preservation conferences, workshops, and symposiums; heritage education programs; preservation education programs; and publications and audio-visual presentations. NPLF activities include the acquisition and rehabilitation of historic buildings. ICVF activities include assisting low and moderate income housing and industrial and commercial projects involving historic buildings. All National Trust grant awards must be matched on at least a dollar for dollar basis. The National Trust's six regional offices were established in 1977. Florida is served by the Southern Regional Office located in Charleston, South Carolina. For further information, contact the Trust's national headquarters located at 1785 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W.Washington, D.C. 20036, (202) 673- 4000, or the Trust's Southern Regional Offices located at 456 King Street, Charleston, South Carolina 29403, (803) 722-8552. 39 Florida Trust for Historic Preservation The Florida Trust for Historic Preservation is Florida's private statewide preservation organization formed in 1978 as a network of committed preservationists. It serves as a Citizen Support Organization for the Division of Historical Resources. The mission of the Florida Trust is to promote the preservation of the architectural, historical, and archaeological heritage of Florida through property stewardship, legislative advocacy, and education. The Trust's house museum is Bonnet House, a 3.5 acre estate located on Ft. Lauderdale beach and listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Call Bureau of Historical Preservation 487-2333 LOCAL GOVERNMENT PRESERVATION PLANNING Since 1970, Florida's resident population has increased over 90%. Because of this rapid growth, many of the state's historic resources have been lost or threatened with loss. Although many of Florida's significant cultural resources are under state and federal management, still more are under the jurisdic- tion of the state's more than 450 local governments. In addition to specific preservation programs offered through federal, state, and private sources, local governments can pursue other alternatives to ensure the protection of historic and archaeological resources within their jurisdictions. Local Preservation Ordinances Under state law, any municipal government can enact a preservation ordinance. While every ordinance should be tailored to fit the local situation, each ordinance should contain: a statement of purpose; definitions; establishment of a review body;survey plans for the identification and evaluation of historic resources;procedures for reviewing any alteration, demolition, or new construction of any structure within a historic district or of similar activities affecting any individually significant archaeological site or historic property; and an appeals procedure. If requesting approval as a Certified Local Government, requests for review and certification must be submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office by a duly authorized local government representa- tive. This written request should include a copy of the ordinance and any applicable bylaws. Certifica- tion requests are reviewed by the SHPO staff within 45 days of the receipt of the complete information. Many other protection methods such as the creation of financial incentives, transfers of development rights, conservation easements,and property acquisition, can greatly assist in the preservation of local historic resources. Zoning Zoning is one of the many tools available to city administrators in their efforts to positively influence city design and growth. Zoning is based on a city's police power to enact laws to protect the health and safety of its residents. 41 Historic resources can be affected by several types of zoning. Overlay zoning, incentive zoning,and special districts are among those zoning techniques that usually impact preservation of a local government's historic resources. By dividing a city into districts, placing restrictions on incompatible land uses in these areas, and regulating the height and mass of buildings, zoning has demonstrated its design potential for the preservation and rehabilitation of historic structures and landscaping. Funds for dealing with zoning issues are potentially available through historic preservation survey and planning grants if the work relates to meeting established historic preservation goals. The City of Gainesville, for example, has tied its zoning code very closely to its preservation ordinance. Land Planning for Greenspace One very effective technique which has been used to protect significant archaeological and historic sites is greenspacing. This concept has been used most effectively when significant sites are located within a land development project. The developer is often required to set aside a certain amount of land within the project area for conservation or passive recreation in order to fulfill permitting requirements. When there is an archaeological or historic site in the project area,the developer can preserve it and fulfill the requirements for greenspace at the same time. Providing greenspace protects significant cultural and natural resources,while creating goodwill for the developer and adding to the quality of life for the residents of the development. Successful examples of this technique are found at the Golden Ocala Development in Marion County, the Bay Point Develop- ment in Bay County, and the Bluewater Bay Development in Okaloosa County. 42 F�LORIIQ A S' PLANONINa.

The umbrella planning document is the State Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 187, Florida Statutes. This plan, adopted by the Florida Legislature and reviewed every five years, includes 26 goals and numerous policies which,as stated in the descrip- tion of the plan, are to provide long range policy guidance for the orderly social, economic and physical growth of the state. Goal 19 of the State Comprehensive Plan deals with increasing access to historical and cultural re- sources of the state. Goal 17 specifies state policy related to downtown revitalization activities, such as those fostered by the Florida Main Street program. Promotion and protection of historical resources are also recognized in the goals related to education, tourism, housing, public facilities, and the economy. From the State Comprehensive Plan, special purpose or"translational"plans are developed that provide guidance for all governmental entities regarding land development (State Land Development Plan prepared by the Department of Community Affairs),water use (State Water Use Plan prepared by the Department of Environmental Protection), transportation (Florida Transportation Plan prepared by the Department of Transportation),and information resources (Information Resources Management Plan prepared by the Information Resources Commission). These plans must be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan. Agency Strategic Plans (ASPs) are an integral part of this process and serve, in part, to further the goals and policies of the State Comprehensive Plan at the state agency level. ASPs are coordinated with appropriate translational plans, as discussed below. The state has eleven regional planning councils (RPCs) that must also adopt, implement, and regularly revise strategic regional policy plans, pursuant to section 186.507, Florida Statutes. State agencies and RPCs endeavor to coordinate their respective plans, both of which must be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan. Finally, local governments must have comprehensive plans in place, pursuant to Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes. Local plans must be consistent with the plans of the regional planning councils and the State Comprehensive Plan. Issues of concern that appear in ASPs are often addressed in regional and/or local plans.Through regular review of regional and local plans, State agencies monitor these issues and develop links be- tween State, regional, and local plans. Additionally, the ASP process must include a public participation program for citizens and interest groups to become involved in the development of ASPs. Finally, an agency's budget request must further the strategies of the ASP. 45 FLORIDA'S INTEGRATED PLANNING FRAMEWORK STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSLATIONAL PLANS SLDP, SWUP, IRM, FTP STRATEGIC AGENCY REGIONAL STRATEGIC POLICY PLANS PLANS LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMPREHENSIVE PLANS FIGURE 2.1 46 ANNUAL PLANNING SCHEDULE LEGISLATIVE SESSION 4) �� AP Heeling Pha e A� Agency SPLBR Policy '' �✓ Discussion Phase Agency Evaluation Phase DEVELOP GOVERNOR'S ANNUAL REPORT.PLAN&BUDGET RECs I.

In the fall of 1993, a series of regional public meetings were held in Pensacola, Jacksonville, Orlando, and Miami to acquaint the public with the revised require- ments and guidelines for the development and revision of the Comprehensive Plan. NPS reviewed the PPD, provided comments, and the PPD was revised accordingly. Subsequently, NPS informed the Bureau that the PPD was no longer required. In April 1995, Bureau staff met in Atlanta with Ruthanne Mitchell of NPS staff to review the require- ments in NPS-49, and to specifically discuss how Florida's Comprehensive State Historic Preservation Plan should relate to the state's existing plans, the State Comprehensive Plan and the Department of State's Agency Strategic Plan. Public Participation Public involvement is an essential part of planning in state government. While there is no single, most desirable reason for initiating a public participation process, the necessity for initiating a two way flow of information is certainly very important. Since the preservation plan's overall success depends on its acceptance, by not only preservation organizations and state and federal agencies, but also by private individuals,the public must play a central role in the plan's development. Because no single group can fully represent the varied interests which affect preservation decisions statewide, DHR decided to obtain input from a wide range of individuals concerned about the future of Florida's historic and archaeologi- cal resources. To begin the initial public participation phase of the plan's development, DHR distributed question- naires and a schedule of workshops to a long and varied list of groups that may either use the plan or be impacted by its recommendations. To ensure that the general public was canvassed,4450 question- naires were distributed to public libraries throughout the state and the questionnaire was placed on the World Wide Web. Additional questionnaire recipients included preservation groups, architectural and planning organizations, county and municipal governments, federal and state agencies, minority groups and local historic societies, among others. SHPO planning staff used data from these questionnaires to identify and address specific issues important to Florida's preservation community. Additionally, questionnaire data was used to formulate the preservation plan's goals and objectives and determine its overall content. In July 1995,workshops were held in Tampa, Orlando, Coral Gables,Jacksonville,Tallahassee, and Pensacola. Each workshop included a brief discussion of the existing planning process in Florida, specifically the State Comprehensive Plan and Agency Strategic Plans,a summary of the information obtained from the public questionnaires, and other general information. The Division of Historical Resource's established goals and strategies, as stated in the Department of State's Agency Strategic Plan, then served as the basis for open discussion,as each strategy was presented. Each workshop was taped and suggestions were recorded in writing. By using both questionnaires and public meetings, DHR provided opportunities for extensive public participation in the preservation plan's development. The Division used several avenues to ensure widespread public notification and participation in the meetings. In addition to the notice attached to 49 each questionnaire, public notices were published in the Florida Administrative Weekly and in the May- June and July-August issues of Florida Preservation News. For the public workshop in Tampa, indi- vidual notices were sent to representatives in the City of Tampa's Neighborhood Registry, a list of neighborhood groups and associations. Questionnaire Evaluation The main focus in historic preservation planning is historic and cultural resources and the establish- ment of a course of action to ensure their future preservation. Assistance and input from constituents of historic preservation were sought using the preservation questionnaire. The data from 478 returned questionnaires was evaluated and organized into categories to help establish strategies to meet the challenges and opportunities for preservation in Florida. Written responses consistently indicated the highest priority issues were identified as (1) public awareness and education; (2) tax and financial incentives; (3) funding sources and financial assistance; (4) preservation legislation; (5) restoration and revitalization projects; (6) technical assistance and (7) implementation of preservation laws and ordi- nances. The 478 questionnaires also provided the following statistics: When asked what are the most pressing problems, needs or threats to historic preservation-319 or 67% rated a low priority among citizens and politicians the greatest problem, followed by insufficient fund- ing at 291 or 61%; high preservation costs, 283 or 59%; uninformed citizens and politicians, 276 or 58%;and new development and construction, 273 or 57% (Figure 2.6). When asked what are the most important preservation program activities or services in your commu- nity-335 or 70% said grants to local governments and non-profits was the most important, followed by tax incentives,267 or 56%; public information and assistance,258 or 54%; preservation planning, 229 or 48%, and archaeological investigations 182 or 38% were most important (Figure 2.7). More than half of the respondents 268 or 56% were private citizens, followed by representatives of local governments, 119 or 25%; members of historical or archaeological societies, 116 or 24%; specific interests groups, 81 or 17%, and consultants 48 or 10% (Figure 2.8). Finally, regarding the informational materials provided by the State Historic Preservation Office, 139 or 29% said they used fact sheets, followed by preservation briefs, 124 or 26%; program information 115 or 24%; other handouts 100 or 21% and available books 48 or 10% (Figure 2.9). Plan Revision To allow time for implementation of the preservation plan,the Florida SHPO will revise it on a five year cycle. At least a year and a half before an updated plan is scheduled for submission to NPS, DHR will again distribute questionnaires and schedule a round of public workshops. This next public participa- tion phase will have a multiple purpose. First, it will ensure that the updated plan sufficiently addresses current issues impacting preservation efforts around the State. Second, it will allow SHPO staff to analyze achievements relating to specific plan goals and objectives. Finally, this process will allow a public review of the effectiveness of the plan's initial development and implementation procedures. This further round of public participation should guarantee that subsequent preservation plans address any changes in preservation philosophy, current issues in public policy, funding situations, and changes in preservation mechanisms. 50 FLORIDA'S STATEWIDE COMPREHENSIVE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN What is it? The Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources (Florida's State Historic Preservation Office or SHPO) is in the process of developing Florida's Statewide Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan.To ensure full public participation in all phases of the preservation planning process, the Division is distributing the attached questionnaire to a wide range of preservation organizations, public officials,federal and state agencies, local governments, and the general public. Comments received from this questionnaire will be used in the development of the plan. The primary purpose of Florida's historic preservation planning program is to provide guidance for the implementation of sound planning procedures for the location, identification, and protection of the state's archaeological and historic resources. Why is it important? First, the state's preservation planning process is a many faceted endeavor. First, and most important, it is committed to the continued preservation and maintenance of Florida's historical resources.Because of the state's unprecedented growth over the last three decades, many prehistoric and histoic sites have been lost. As a result,both the Florida SHPO and the statewide preservation community have had to maintain a constant vigil to ensure the existence of historic and archaeological resources for future geneerations.The development and implementation of a sound, well-coordinated comprehensive preservation plan should assist Florida's preservation organizations in their efforts to protect Florida's rapidly dwindling historic and archaeological resources. Second, the planning process is an invaluable tool in identifying the major issues that affect preservation efforts around the state.The funding of preservation projects, resource protection, public education, and increased intergovernmental coordination are just a few of the multitude of issues facing Florida's preservationists today.Both the preservation planning process and the plan itself will provide those involved in cultural resource protection an excellent opportunity to identify important issues and address them in future preservation efforts. Finally,the process establishes goals and objectives that set priority needs for the preservation and acquisition of cultural resources around the state.The preservation planning process requires the definition of concrete, achievable goals that can direct preservation activities and address any future problems that might occur. Once the preservation plan's goals and objectives have been developed, they can be used to augment and guide not only DHR's programs and planning efforts, but also those of preservation organizations, state and federal agencies, and local governments. How can I help? Public involvement is an essential part of planning in state government. Since overall success of the preservation plan depends on its acceptance by not only preservation organizations and public agencies, but by private individuals as well,the public must play an important part in the plan's development.Because no single group can fully represent the varied interests which affect preservation decisions statewide, DHR will seek input from a wide range of individuals concerned about the future of Florida's historic and archaeological resources. In addition to completing the questionnaire, you can also participate by attending a workshop to discuss a draft plan. FIGURE 2.4 51 Where can Igo?

Those policies provide for redeveloping residential neighborhoods and recycling older houses in addition to promoting reha- bilitation and reuse of existing facilities, structures, and buildings as an alternative to new construction within downtown areas. The Legislature's plan also ensures the identification, evaluation, and protec- tion of archaeological and historic resources that reflect the state's diverse ethnic population. Finally, the plan acknowledges historic landmarks as one of the state's primary economic assets and calls for the promotion of awareness of historic places and cultural and historical activities. Existing mechanisms for preservation contained in the State Comprehensive Plan provide the frame- work of the Statewide Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan. A combination of those components along with objectives from the Agency Strategic Plan and recommendations from the preservation plan workshops are reflected in the following objectives and strategies. It should be noted that the Statewide Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan, like the State Comprehensive Plan, is only a direction- setting document. Its policies may be implemented only to the extent that financial resources are provided pursuant to legislative appropriation or grants or appropriations of any other public or private entities. The plan does not create regulatory authority or authorize the adoption of agency rules, criteria, or standards not otherwise authorized by law. The following Trends and Conditions are taken from the Agency Strategic Plan. TRENDS AND CONDITIONS The Division of Historical Resources has a staff of 99, an operating budget of$5.7 million and disburses $14 million of state and federal grants-in-aid to local governments or non-profit organizations. This division has four program areas: historic preservation, archaeological research, historical museums, and Florida Folklife. FLORIDA'S ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES. The current state of Florida's archaeological resources depends on a variety of natural and human factors primarily related to physical disturbance or destruction of sites on one hand and human at- tempts to diminish such impacts on the other. Each time a tract of land changes its use,there is a potential for archaeological resources to be adversely impacted. Each time there is an opportunity for the public to be aware of an archaeological resource and understand how to avoid adverse impact, archaeological resource protection is improved. Problem Florida's population is projected to increase by approximately 9%, or about 1.3 million people, between 1995 and 2000, a reasonable approximation for the planning period 1996 to 2000 (Shermyen 1993:52). We can expect that residential and commercial development will increase by a corresponding amount, causing an intensification of land use, especially on the edges of existing developed areas, as undevel- oped forest and agricultural lands are converted to agricultural uses. Similarly, previously unmanaged lands will be converted to agricultural uses to make up for land lost to more intense uses. Such conver- 63 sions threaten archaeological sites unless they are identified before development and unless arrange- ments can be made to protect them. As more archaeological sites are lost to land modifying activities like development, as well as to natural processes like erosion and sea level rise, the remaining protected sites in public and private ownership become all the more important. Similarly, the conservation and curation of archaeological materials in public collections have a higher priority. In short, those items and sites that we do not actively save now,will not be available in the future. Opportunity Recognizing that there are not enough archaeologists and funds to excavate and study all archaeological sites,whether threatened or not, the goal of archaeological management is to survey, inventory, and preserve as many sites as possible and arrange for the excavation of those that cannot be protected to save the information and objects they contain. Sharing reports and interpretations of such work with the public fosters increased understanding of the nature and importance of archaeological remains, increasing public support for site protection. To date, 18,000 archaeological sites are recorded in the Division's Florida Master Site File;which represent a small proportion of the total number of sites likely to exist in the state, perhaps 5% to 10% based on existing survey results. Managing information on these sites and making it available to planners, managers, and decision makers is the foundation of site protection. Despite efforts of archaeologists and land managers, the continuing condition of the total population of archaeological sites is a persistent and growing threat of loss. At the same time, site protection laws and ordinances are quite effective in those situations where they apply, and more archaeological work than ever before is underway. These trends are also expected to continue into the planning period and beyond. Archaeological resources do not lend themselves to quantifiable statements concerning the state of the resources at the present nor within the planning period. It is infeasible to specify a meaningful, quanti- fiable objective to accurately reflect improvement in management of archaeological resources. It is possible, however, to specify components of a responsible and comprehensive archaeological resource management program which can form the foundation of a strategic plan. This plan includes quantifi- able strategies that represent various independent activities constituting archaeological resource management as it is practiced in the nation at present and as it is mandated by federal and state laws. The numerical goals specified in the strategies reflect the capacity of the archaeological program, based on experience over the past decade. FLORIDA'S HISTORIC PRESERVATION. Problem Population growth and development pressure continue to present a serious challenge to the state's historic preservation program. The increase in population creates a demand for the redevelopment of established communities as well as new development in suburban and rural areas. The resulting threat of loss or destruction of historic and cultural resources is recognized in state mandated local compre- hensive land use planning requirements, and has stimulated public interest in and demand for guidance and assistance in all phases of historic preservation activity. While these conditions are most clearly seen in the population centers in the southern and central regions of the state,they are present in virtually every county and community,and their impact is sometimes most severe in areas not previ- ously seriously jeopardized. 64 Opportunity Both the scope and the level of historic preservation activity have expanded substantially in the past decade to meet the increasing public demand. This has been accomplished in large measure through the special category grants program and the Historic Preservation Trust Fund matching grants pro- gram,which provides financial assistance for local preservation initiatives. A dedicated funding source for state matching grants has provided a stable and adequate level of grant assistance for local projects. However, continued growth and development in the state are expected to generate increasing interest and demand for services and may require further expansion of program activities to meet increased demand. Additional financial incentives are needed to stimulate local participation in historic preservation and private investment in the rehabilitation of historic properties. Increasing property values, development pressure and concern regarding possible infringement on private property rights are creating a growing resistance to historic preservation regulation. This trend is even evident in cities such as Pensacola, Tallahassee and St.Augustine with long established local preservation programs. In addition, 1986 changes in federal tax law have reduced annual investment in income-producing historic properties to 20% of the pre-1986 level (NPS 1992 Analysis). Continuing impediments to individual historic preservation projects are the design problems and increased costs which result from conflicts between sound preservation practice and the requirements of the various codes applicable to construction projects. Across the state, these problems are resulting in the loss of significant historic properties. Examples include: the loss of the San Carlos Hotel, Pensacola; the Ormond Hotel, Ormond Beach; the Soreno Hotel, St. Petersburg; and the Hillsborough Hotel,Tampa,within the last three years. The 1992 ad valorem tax exemption for improvement to historic properties provides a limited increase in incentives for rehabilitation of income-producing properties, partially offsetting the negative effect of the referenced 1986 changes to federal tax law. In addition, this exemption provides one of the first incentives available for homeowners who substantially improve their historic residences. However,a 1991 study conducted by the Government Finance Research Center for the Division of Historical Resources suggests that the new exemption,by itself, may not be sufficient to effect a favorable invest- ment decision for historic property rehabilitation (Fiscal incentives for Historical Preservation in Florida, March 1992, page 48). Division contacts with communities that now offer the exemption to property owners indicate that the exemption is of little or no benefit to property owners who need assistance in dealing with the added expenses of routine maintenance of many historic structures. Nonetheless, a growing number of local governments have shown interest in offering this exemption to owners of historic properties in their jurisdictions. We are aware of exemption ordinances having been enacted by metropolitan Dade County, the City of Coral Gables, Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa, the City of Ormond Beach, the City of Orlando,the City of Jacksonville,the City of St. Petersburg, Escambia County,and the City of Pensacola. Continued state action to provide more effective fiscal incentives for the preservation of both commer- cial and residential properties and to develop appropriate means of resolving code compliance problems can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the state's historic preservation efforts. The Florida Main Street program has benefited thirty-five smaller city downtown areas threatened by economic and physical decline. Division statistics indicate that public and private reinvestment in these 65 downtown areas since 1985 exceeds$208 million,with over 954 business starts and 3,200 new jobs. During this period, state investment in the program has been around$2 million.More than one hun- dred other communities are eligible to participate in this program, offering substantial potential benefit from its continuation. In the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, it became evident that a disaster recovery plan for historic resources is needed as an integral element of the state's program to deal with such catastrophic events. Current recovery mechanisms do not offer timely response in assisting stabilization of historic proper- ties, and do not adequately consider possible historic significance in assessments of the treatment of older damaged properties. Division action is needed to integrate provisions for reasonable response to preservation issues into the state's emergency response program. Historical resources do not lend themselves to quantifiable statements concerning the state of the resources at the present nor within the planning period. It is infeasible to specify a quantifiable objec- tive to reflect improvement in the management of historical resources accurately. It is possible,how- ever, to specify components of a responsible and comprehensive historical resource management program which can form the foundation of a strategic plan. This plan includes quantifiable strategies that represent various independent activities constituting historic preservation as it is practiced across the nation at present and as it is mandated by federal and state laws. The numerical goals specified in the strategies reflect the capacity of the historic preservation program, based on experience over the past decade. FLORIDA'S HISTORICAL MUSEUMS. Historical artifacts are irreplaceable resources that tell the story of Florida's culture. The state's collec- tion of over 41,000 historical artifacts is representative of a great variety of objects made and used in Florida. Still,there are many significant artifacts that need to be sought out for acquisition, preserva- tion and interpretation. By continuing the collection, documentation, and provision of public access to the artifacts, the museums enable the citizens of Florida to gain a better understanding of the state's history. Problem Since the days of exploration, Florida has been a destination where travelers arrive, establish temporary residence, and then leave with objects that relate to Florida's cultural heritage. This problem is com- pounded by the fact that according to recent census statistics (1950-1990), native Floridians are also leaving the state, and of course, removing cultural objects. It is not anticipated that this trend will change in the next five to ten years. The Bureau of Historical Museums can remedy this problem by making the public aware of the significance of objects relating to Florida's unique culture through exhibits, education programs, and the retrieval of important historical artifacts. The success of a museum's program cannot be analyzed by the quantity of artifacts obtained. Each year, collecting efforts are focused upon a set number of areas of Florida history, enabling curators to analyze existing collections, search for appropriate items in these areas, and secure them for the state's collec- tion. Goals for museum programs relating to private sector support, educational outreach and exhibi- tions are quantified in accordance with traditional growth standards issued in various publications by the American Association of Museums. 66 Opportunity The influx of such a varied population coming to live in our state,who then acquire objects relating to Florida's cultural heritage, increases the possibility of obtaining permanent collections; moreover, there are nationwide and statewide temporary exhibits available to rent. The Collections staff has now estab- lished certain criteria (i.e., themes)which will be used to help define a more specific and comprehensive representation for the various periods of Florida's colorful history. Plans also include forming a Collec- tions Committee consisting of Board Members to help identify items for the Museum's collections. Furthermore, the influx of the population offers sources of private funding and membership. Through an increase of local and statewide networking, developing monies from Foundations and altering the Boards culture to be more active and participating,we have opportunities to capitalize on the influx of the population. Moreover, the Museum's membership has increased 64% over the past year. An aggres- sive membership campaign will be continued through direct mail and board solicitation to achieve such an increase next year. By virtue of being Florida's History Museum,we can also take a much more active role regarding sharing resources, such as information, collections, and exhibits with other historical museums around the state. As evidenced by the lobbying efforts, museums can take advantage of opportunities better when working in a coordinated effort. FLORIDA'S FOLKLIFE. Studies that report steady growth in the number of people who live in Florida also show an attendant increase in the diversity of the state's population. These two trends quicken the pace of cultural fer- ment and place new stresses on human as well as natural resources. The 1990 census identified over 150 ethnic groups in the state and declares, "Every country in the world is represented in Florida." Problem As the state advances toward the twenty-first century, it is imperative that Floridians nurture traditions and values that are the positive legacy of our multi-cultural heritage. According to Darman, "America is a nation of immigrants,whose common heritage includes the thinking, art, and science of the home- lands of those who have come here and are still coming here. It includes . . . the communities, cus- toms, and folkways—the roots of our many pasts. The preservation, understanding, and passing on of the best of this heritage is essential if Americans are to know what it is to be `American."' The need for "preserving America's heritage"translates directly to Florida;what is true of the nation is true of the state. Florida has a long, unique history of public/private partnership in the preservation of folk culture. During the 1930s and 1940s, Zora Neale Hurston and other Florida workers of the Federal Writers' Project introduced the public to the riches of traditional culture in the state. In 1953, Floridians created,with state support, the first state folk festival in the United States, a festival that continues today. A generation later, the Florida legislature established one of the first state folklife programs in the nation. 67 Opportunity Throughout the country, a growing number of festivals, concerts, craft shows, media features,and publications shows the appeal of folk culture. Nevertheless, urban ethnic enclaves and rural communi- ties encounter problems with showcasing local traditions; educators seek instructional materials and technical assistance to teach students about local heritage. Without state involvement in folk cultural programs, provided through such activities as coordination of the annual Florida Folk Festival and distribution of school resource kits,the state would lose opportunities for identifying and drawing public attention to the positive contributions that ethnic, regional, and occupational traditions make to the cultural and economic life of the state. Helping communities with local folk cultural projects gives the state a valuable means of directly influencing the quality and scope of information and expertise that is available to interpret the cultural heritage of the state. Assisting schools to develop and refresh curricu- lum materials and special programs that teach the students about Florida's culturally diverse society will give citizens a decade from now a clearer understanding of the multi-cultural environment in which they live than they would have if today's students fail to receive the benefit of folk cultural programs. Floridians, individuals, and informal groups,who maintain the traditional expressive cultures of the state are a living source of knowledge, skills,and values that reflect Florida's folk heritage. The opportunity exists to link these folk artists and cultural interpreters with popular demand. It serves the public interest of the state to work for equitable inclusion of its diverse peoples in cultural programs and the application of professional standards in the treatment of Florida's folks. FLORIDA'S HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARDS. Problem In an attempt to accommodate growth, policies are often adopted which can result in unrecoverable loss not only in the quality of the environment,but also in Florida's historic heritage. The Division of His- torical Resources and the Historic Preservation Boards throughout the state have provided valuable services minimizing the loss of our historic and cultural heritage by identifying buildings, landmarks and other sites of historic significance, assisting local preservation efforts, and educating the public through programs and events. Opportunity Each of the six Preservation Boards is to provide leadership in the preservation and interpretation of the state-owned resources within its jurisdictional area. In addition, each board is to provide technical assistance and economic incentive programs to other public and private groups. These programs are designed and implemented in such a manner as to encourage the rehabilitation and preservation of other historic structures and the sensitive adaptive use of such structures after rehabilitation. There is overlap in the Boards' mission and functions with the archaeological and historic preservation programs. In addition, two of the boards operate museums and thus have a function similar to the division's historical museum program. For this reason, the boards are subject to the same trends and conditions over the next five to ten years as are the division's programs. Further, the boards'mission reflects the same federal and state mandates found in the division's other programs. When coupled with the nature of the division's mission to preserve, protect, and promote the state's historical and cultural resources, it is difficult to quantify, in any predictable form, the success or improvement of program objective relating to historic resource identification, protection, and management. 68 With these trends and conditions in mind, the following Agency Objectives and Strategies have been developed, using staff expertise and input from the public. AGENCY OBJECTIVE Increase public access opportunities to Florida's cultural heritage by improving outreach and educa- tional programs. Strategies Publish or present one hundred popular and scientific accounts and reports on archaeology to foster increased appreciation of Florida's archaeological resources and to increase public access to archaeo- logical information through such forums as books, reports, papers, lectures,workshops, presentations, • tours and talks. Incorporate more archaeological material into Florida Preservation News. Continue to provide a formal program of public information and education relating to statewide historic preservation issues, including: six joint publications with the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation of Florida Preservation News and the publication of four issues of Florida Heritage Magazine annually. Use public service announcements on government access channels and in local newspapers concerning events or upcoming training workshops. Explore ways to disseminate information found in Florida Preservation News to groups that are not members of the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation. Make Florida Heritage Magazine available by subscription. Develop "user-friendly" informational material about the programs of the State Historic Preservation Office and create an order form for requesting such material. Establish a 1-800 number for the Division of Historical Resources, or for each bureau. Investigate the potential for establishing"Preservation Week"programs and activities. Prepare and distribute to libraries "preservation packets" containing updated information. Increase availability of historic and archaeological preservation information through Internet/World Wide Web. Establish relations with the Florida Humanities Council and other agencies and organizations to provide an effective mechanism for the dissemination of information regarding historic preservation to local preservation groups and professional organizations. Encourage, support, and assist public schools in the development of educational materials and live presentations that increase the understanding and appreciation of Florida folklife. (Serve 20,000 students per year.) 69 Present additional education programs of high quality (each year, programming for under served audiences, presentation of four to six programs at professional museum conferences, presentation of 60 outreach programs). Continue the development of Florida Heritage Education lesson plans and site-based resource guides. Promote use of Florida Black Heritage Trail and Florida Cuban Heritage Trail in Florida's school systems. Present Florida folk culture through programs such as the annual Florida Folk Festival, Rural Folklife Days, and periodic concerns and crafts demonstrations at the Stephen Foster State Folk Center. (In- crease audience attendance by 1500 each year.) AGENCY OBJECTIVE Improve the management of state owned properties and provide technical assistance to state agencies in their efforts to preserve, protect and promote the state's historical properties and archaeological sites of historic significance. Strategies Develop, maintain and implement a plan to interpret and manage 69 state owned properties. (Managed by the Preservation Boards.) Survey and inventory fifty archaeological sites on state-owned lands to provide site management and protection information to land managers to increase opportunities for site preservation and public access. Excavate and interpret each year one archaeological site component at Mission San Luis to provide information and artifacts for public interpretive programs and products. Review 2,500 proposals from all state agencies of the Executive Branch that administer programs affecting cultural resources to ensure that they are aware of and in compliance with the requirements of s. 267.067(2), F.S.; and review 100 state agency land management plans submitted in accordance with s.253.034(4), F.S. in order to increase the preservation of and public access to cultural resources. 70 AGENCY OBJECTIVE Provide technical assistance to local governments in their efforts to preserve, protect, and promote the state's historical properties and archaeological sites of historic significance. Strategies By 1996, complete development of the proposed Florida Historic Building standards and conduct at least two regional workshops to better familiarize local code and fire officials with the proposed stan- dards and thereby enlist more support for its acceptance and implementation at the local level. During fiscal year 1995-96,work with at least two additional local governments to secure certification of their local historic preservation programs, and conduct at least one statewide meeting to provide technical assistance to all Florida Certified Local Governments (CLGs). Also during this period, the monthly clearinghouse publication initiated in 1995 will be further refined and the CLG network further formalized. To increase the awareness and support of preservation among elected officials, develop and conduct an annual training program for Florida Certified Local Governments (CLGs), including a manual. Expand relationships with statewide organizations for local officials, such as the Florida League of Cities and Florida Association of County Governments, to encourage the development of local preservation programs. Work cooperatively with local government to develop, maintain, and update a long-range plan for the preservation, protection, and promotion of the historic and archaeological sites and properties located within the jurisdictional area of each Preservation Board. AGENCY OBJECTIVE Promote and assist the preservation of Florida's cultural heritage through a program of identification, evaluation, and recognition. Strategies In order to complete the statewide survey of historic properties and archaeological resources, continue to target 20 counties and communities for grant assistance each year to survey areas not adequately represented in existing survey data. Continue to provide recognition of eligible historic resources through listing at least 30-50 individual properties or historic districts per year in the National Register of Historic Places. Encourage more nominations. 71 Initiate theme studies, primarily through the increased use of the Multiple Property Submission format, for National Register nominations. Enter into the Florida Master Site File each year eight thousand new archaeological and historical site records and make such information available to the public. Encourage local governments to record local designations with the Florida Master Site File. Obtain a site file form as part of all acquisition and development grant applications. Provide access to the Florida Master Site File in electronic form for planning purposes. Encourage, support, and assist local cultural organizations and individuals throughout the state in the identification, documentation, presentation, and conservation of Florida folklife (serve 120 organiza- tions each year). By 1996, implement the Florida Heritage marker program by appointing the Marker Advisory Council, accepting applications for Heritage Markers, erecting Heritage Markers, providing information sheets concerning the program, and providing matching grant funding of markers. Excavate, analyze, and interpret archaeological sites that cannot be preserved, and complete reports of four such investigations each year to provide public access to archaeological information about these sites. AGENCY OBJECTIVE Enhance public access opportunities to Florida's cultural heritage by improving collections and exhibits. Strategies Collect artifacts for future exhibitions on the history of Florida. Collect three exhibits per year. Improve the management and documentation of artifacts already in the collections. Document four collections per year. Produce and present additional exhibits each year by executing one permanent installation, three temporary exhibitions and one traveling exhibit(TREX). Produce and present additional permanent, temporary, and traveling (TREX) exhibits, including major development of Mission San Luis, Union Bank, the Old Capitol and the Museum of Florida History. Each year, produce one permanent exhibit, six temporary exhibits, and two new traveling exhibits. Conserve and curate each year four state-owned archaeological collections to make these artifacts available to the public upon request and in exhibits. 72 AGENCY OBJECTIVE Increase effectiveness of delivery of preservation services. Strategies Increase the use of teleconferencing and video conferencing for workshops and meetings of the Historic Preservation Advisory Council. Put grant applications on-line via the Internet for the public to be able to download a copy of the application on a personal computer. Review the effectiveness of a one-year pilot program allowing advanced payment on federal historic preservation grants with the National Park Service, and continue this method of payment if appropriate. Explore opportunities to privatize existing government functions or to increase the role of private organizations. Improve private support for museum and historic preservation programs by expanding membership in Florida History Associates and the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation, support organizations to the Museum of Florida History and the Division of Historical Resources, respectively. Explore additional joint projects with these two organizations. Increase the number of small cities served by the Florida Main Street Program. Consider serving cities beyond the current 5,000-50,000 population requirements. Continue the development of cooperative programs with other agencies and associations and cosponsor one statewide conference each year with the Florida Redevelopment Association. AGENCY OBJECTIVE Provide technical assistance to private sector groups in the preservation of historic and archaeological sites and properties. • Strategies Insure that owners of historic properties have sufficient knowledge and technical assistance in the appropriate maintenance and rehabilitation of their historic properties, by developing material to acquaint them with existing financial resources and protective services. During fiscal year 1995-1996, the division will enter into discussions with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Advisory Council of Historic Preservation and the American Institute of Architects in an effort to develop more effective procedures for dealing with historic properties during disaster recovery activities, and attempt to negotiate an agreement regarding the treatment of historic properties affected by federally funded disaster recovery operations. 73 Conduct workshops in relation to historic properties and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), standard building codes, and life safety codes. Explore possible state action to increase access to hazard insurance coverage for owners of historic properties. Conduct at least two workshops each year to provide technical assistance to local governments and the general public in the implementation of local incentive programs to encourage investment in historic private homes and commercial buildings. During fiscal year 1995-1996, conduct a series of focus group meetings across the state to gather information about other possible, type of incentives that may be effective at encouraging private invest- ment in the preservation and rehabilitation of historic properties. Based on the results, the services of appropriate consultants will be secured to conduct a benefit/cost analysis on identified potential new incentives. If the analysis is favorable to one or more of the potential incentives, draft legislation will be prepared. Provide damage prevention information for property owners. Assist owners of historic resources by establishing a"help"network for natural disasters. Document on a yearly basis the preservation projects or studies completed by each Preservation Board for properties not owned by the state. 74 APPENDICES �.j, w�F r . }erg. , •1` 'yam 4 , '`y f K . : lIF.-!"'s•'.4 kt.'

Historic contexts are those patterns, themes, or trends in history by which a specific occurrence, prop- erty, or site is understood and its meaning (and ultimately its significance)within prehistory or history is made clear." Staff from the Division of Historical Resources and a variety of scholars from around the state have prepared a set of contexts that describe Florida's prehistoric and historic past. Each archaeological context includes a discussion of each culture period's 1) Setting,2) Material Culture, 3) Subsistence, 4) Settlement Patterns, 5) Important Sites, 6) Important Research Questions, and 7) Preservation Goals. Because the entire set of contexts covers over 400 pages, copies of them on computer disks may be obtained from the Bureau of Archaeological Research (850-487-2299). There are also plans to make them available through Internet.

AGENCY OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES The following Agency Objectives and Strategies were developed, using staff expertise and public input. Performance results during the Federal Fiscal Year 1996-1997 through July, 1998 are categorically recorded. Increase public access opportunities to Florida `s cultural heritage by improving outreach and educational programs. • The Division of Historical Resources provides statewide services from its headquarters in Tallahassee and through newly created regional of fices in St. Augustine, Tampa, and Palm Beach County/Delray Beach, and through the Historic Preservation Board in Pensacola.All five resource centers provide outreach into multicounty regions and serve to encourage historic preservation, and foster a statewide heritage network. • A toll-free telephone number-1-800-847-7278 was established to expand public access to historic preservation services offered by the Division of Historical Resources. • During the past federal fiscal year,six issues of Florida Preservation News were published, and circulation increased by 6%. Beginning in fall 1996, publication of Florida Heritage Magazine was increased to four issues annually,and circulation increased by nearly 140%.A series of historic preservation workshops cosponsored by the Bureau of Historic Preservation and the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation were promoted through press releases to newspapers in major Florida media markets (Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Palm Beach, Pensacola, St. Petersburg,Tallahassee, and Tampa), and also by Internet through the American Institute of Architects. 78 • Over 3,500 free copies of Florida Preservation News are distributed; including communities participating in the Florida Main Street Program.Additionally, the Bureau of Historic Preserva- tion prepares press releases for statewide distribution on informational items which are also included in Florida Preservation News.Florida Heritage Magazine became available for sub- scription in 1996, and readership has increased to over 7,000 individuals and organizations. • The first series of eleven Florida Heritage Education lesson plans were published in 1996, and have been purchased by over 170 schools.A new series of lesson plans are scheduled for release this year. Efforts to promote the use of the lesson plans, the Florida Black Heritage Trail, and the Florida Cuban Heritage Trail have included mailings to school systems and attendance at social studies teachers' conferences. • The Museum of Florida History reached more than 2.2 million people through its many exhibits and services. During Federal Fiscal Year 1996-1997, 192,594 people visited the Museum and its two historic sites, the Old Capitol and Mission San Luis. In addition, over 24,700 people at- tended the three-day Florida Folk Festival. Each year the Museum sponsors the Florida History Fair in which over 20, 000 middle and high school students pursue original historical research to compete at school, local and county levels before continuing on to the state and national competitions. The Museum circulated 19 traveling exhibits throughout the state that were seen by over 250,000 people. Through the Historical Museums Grants-In-Aid Program, the Museum funded exhibits and programs for 83 museums with a combined attendance of 1.8 million people. • To meet the needs of under-served populations, the Division of Historical Resources developed a special initiative with Florida A&M University's Black Archives Research Center and Museum to operate the Union Bank facility. This agreement has led to an increase of over 12,000 African- Americans visiting this historic site. This joint venture has led to other cooperative efforts including the exhibit, "Henrietta Marie,A Slave Ship Speaks," a forum on black history, and "Jubilation in July" a special event celebrating AfricanAmerican culture. • The Museum staff gave eight presentations at museum and education conferences throughout the state, and presented over 1,450 programs,workshops, field trips and tours to over 56,400 people. Continued development of the Florida Folklife Component in the Florida Heritage Education Program resulted in teacher in-service training sessions on how to use heritage events at Rural Folklife Days and the Florida Folklife Festival. • Folklife Institutes are offered to demonstrate how folklife and heritage education can be inte- grated into social studies and other fields of study. • Goals, objectives, and methodology have been developed to identify and record elements of Asian folk culture in Florida. Lesson plans relating to Asian folk culture, children's folklife, and Florida song traditions are in progress. Information about the folklife program can be accessed via the world wide web. Provide technical assistance to local governments in their efforts to preserve, protect, and promote the state's historical properties and archaeological sites of historic significance. • In 1996 the Bureau of Historic Preservation conducted several meetings with representatives of statewide building and fire code organizations to refine the Florida Historic Building Standard (Standard). The Standard has been adopted by the City of Tampa and has been in use there for over two years. 79 • During fiscal year 1997-98, a resource manual for local preservation programs entitled "Making Defensible Decisions"was completed. This manual has been distributed to Florida's Certified Local Governments in addition to the Division's three regional offices. • The number of certified local preservation programs in Florida has increased to 37. • The Florida Main Street Program provides training and technical assistance to local organizations in support of their efforts to revitalize their traditional downtown and neighborhood commercial districts based on the Four Point Main Street Approach.TM The Main Street ApproachTM includes: • organization, design, promotion, and economic restructuring. Promote and assist the preservation of Florida's cultural heritage through a program of identifica- tion, evaluation, and recognition. • During federal fiscal year 1997, 61 historic resources were listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The total includes federal nominations. • During federal fiscal year 1997, 19 new grants were awarded for surveys of historic properties and archaeological sites. These new surveys are expected to result in the recording of nearly 4,500 historic buildings and archaeological sites. • Beginning with the 1998 Federal/State grant cycle, a list of all acquisition and development applications was submitted to the Florida Master Site File to ascertain whether the project properties were recorded there. For those properties which were not recorded, a memo re- questing applicants to fill out a site file form was sent to the project contact.This will be standard procedure in all future grant cycles. • The Division's Historical Museums Grants-in-Aid Program was established in 1989 and has provided $7 million to assist the maintenance and development of the historical museums in Florida. In addition the Division administers and maintains the Museum of Florida History, the Historic Old Capitol, Mission San Luis, and the Knott House Museum. • Folk culture attractions are being identified to be added to the Florida Vacation Guide and International Travel Planner. • The Museum promotes awareness of its sites through print and electronic media, including feature stories on the museum and its programs in National Magazines such as Southern Living, and on Public Radio and television, such as the four-hour radio special on the Florida Folk Festival and the 30 minute and one-hour television specials on the Florida Folk Festival that aired in Spring 1998. Enhance public access opportunities to Florida's cultural heritage by improving collections and exhibits. • The Museum of Florida History maintains a collection of historical objects representing the material culture of Florida. The Museum's collection has increased to 45,850 objects in 1998 from 37,640, at the time of the first full inventory of the Museum's collections in 1989, an increase of 21%. 80 • During federal fiscal year 1996- 1997, 534 artifacts were acquired on loan for nine exhibits. In addition, the Division of Historical Resources acquired 247 objects for the permanent collec- tions, including 35 objects for the folklife collection. • Detailed documentation of historical artifacts through surveys of specific areas of the Museum's collections, as well as the ongoing documentation of incoming acquisitions and loans was accomplished. Object records were entered into a computerized database as a part of this procedure. • During the federal fiscal year, three collections areas were surveyed: furniture (237 objects); firearms (166 objects); and leather objects (90 objects). At the end of the fiscal year, 9,992 records had been entered into the collections database and 174 of the incoming objects had been documented through worksheets and photographic records. Catalog entries for 219 objects from the movie memorabilia collection and 41 objects fromthe governor's portrait collection were made accessible on the Museum's web site. The Division also managed 28 outgoing loans to museums and historic sites around the state. During the year, forty new acquisitions were displayed in Curator's Choice or Collections Gallery exhibitions in the Museum's Main Gallery. • The Museum presented 13 temporary exhibits, including True Natives; BY Train to America's Playground; Sunshine and the Silver Screen: Florida in the Movies, and A Slave Ship Speaks: The Wreck of the Henrietta Marie. The Museum also began installation of outdoor permanent exhibits at Mission San Luis, and began installation of Florida's First Peoples, a permanent exhibit at the Museum of Florida History. Increase effectiveness of delivery of preservation services. • The cost of teleconferencing workshops and Advisory Council meetings from the auditorium of the R.A. Gray Building was: determined not to be cost effective, as there is not at present a dedicated phone line in place. A video conference on obtaining grants was held at Department of Management Services facilities in 1995. However, it was determined that to hold a video conference of an Advisory Council meeting at the Gray Building would pose problems involving both logistics and costs. Several statewide remote sites would have to be established, and as many television sets would have to be set up in Tallahassee. Also, grant applicants would still have to travel to the remote site to view the proceedings but would not have the benefit of fully participating. • The Historical Resources Grants-In-Aid Application with instructions is now available on the World Wide Web and can be downloaded as a Microsoft Word for Windows file. The Internet address is www.dos.state.fl.us/dhr/bhp/grants/grantapp.html. • Advanced payment on federal historic preservation grants began in Federal Fiscal Year 1996. The program was well received by grantees, and has been continued. Provide technical assistance to private sector groups in the preservation of historical and archaeo- logical sites and properties. • Technical materials and professional advice are provided in response to questions from the public and agencies of government regarding available preservation financial incentives and 81 • protective mechanisms. In addition, workshops on these various incentives programs and protective mechanisms are conducted on an as requested basis, as well as at statewide confer- ences conducted by the Florida League of Cities, Florida Redevelopment Association, Florida Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association. • During fiscal year 1997-98,workshops were conducted at the University of Miami, in Miami Beach, at preservation workshops sponsored by the Florida Trust and in other venues across the state to provide information about the historic preservations of the Americans with Disabilities Act,the proposed Florida Historic Buildings Standard, and other life safety and building code issues. Improve the management of state owned properties and provide technical assistance to state agencies in their efforts to preserve, protect, and promote the state's historical properties and archaeological sites of historical significance. Florida is among the leading states in the nation in protecting sites on public lands. This effort has several distinct components. • The state's program has the necessary statutory foundation concerning title to resources, prohibi- tion of unauthorized disturbance,support of law enforcement efforts, assignment of responsibilities to agencies that manage sites or permit activities that affect sites, and support of a strong historic preservation program. In addition, state law prohibits willful and knowing disturbance of human burial sites, including prehistoric burial mounds on public and private property. • The number of sites in public ownership already and the number of sites being added by the state's land acquisition program have gone a long way toward the ultimate goal of ensuring the long term conservation of a representative sample of all types of sites into the future. • The ability to manage sites on state lands is being improved by archaeological resource manage- ment training and archaeological volunteer training provided by the Division. • The creation of the Archaeological Law Enforcement Task Force has helped educate and orga- nize archaeologists, land managers, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and private citizens to dramatically improve the effectiveness of response, investigation and prosecution of vandal- ism and looting on archaeological sites. • The Division actively participates on a variety of state committees to ensure the responsible consideration of archaeological and historical resources in such programs as land acquisition and management, greenways and trails development, eco and heritage tourism, museum devel- opment and public interpretation, outdoor recreation planning, and state park comprehensive planning, among others. • The Division's Conservation and Recreation Lands Archaeological Survey staff provides direct technical assistance to all land managers of properties acquired under the C.A.R.L. program. This assistance extends to field visits, site identification, evaluation, and restoration, manage- ment cooperation, assistance in law enforcement investigation, development of interpretative programs, improvement of public access, and occasional testing or mitigation when appropriate. • A significant amount of information concerning sites in public ownership is developed by the Division and distributed to the public in the form of books, papers, presentations, lectures, publications, and web pages. 82 State Legislation Program Area/Title Citation Year Enacted SHPO Office established Chapter 267, Florida Statutes, as amended 1967 Establishes and defines the responsibilities of the Division of Historical Resources for the protec- tion and preservation of historic archaeological resources, including participation in the federal historic preservation program.

The landowner, McDill Columbus Corp., has withdrawn its application to rezone the parcel for retail and other commercial uses. W. Jeffrey Cotter, McDill Columbus asset manager, informed city officials of his company's decision in a letter dated Tuesday. "At this time, McDill Columbus Corp. does not have any specific plans to develop or rezone the ... property," Cotter stated in the letter. Both McDill Columbus and the city have proposed ideas for the almost 13-acre parcel just north of the Hillsborough River between Florida Avenue and Interstate 275. McDill Columbus proposed in the 1980s to build an office and hotel complex on the site. Those plans never materialized. The company also had a tentative deal earlier this year to sell about 2 acres for a Walgreens drugstore. That deal fell through. Mayor Dick Greco has suggested the city buy the land for use as a botanical garden. But McDill Columbus rejected the city's $2.1 million offer for the property, contending it was worth considerably more. Bankruptcy court papers filed by the company in February list the property's value at about only$30,000 more than the city's offer, Tampa officials said. The property has elicited passionate pleas from residents advocating the preservation of one of the last remaining undeveloped green spaces along the river. About 14 people rallied outside Tampa City Hall Thursday evening to oppose commercial development at the tower site. "We won the battle, but the war continues,"said Michelle Geisler, an organizer of the rally. "We'll see what happens." The tower, built in 1927,was designated a local historic landmark in 1989, protecting it from demolition. But the property surrounding the structure lacks such protection. McDill Columbus'decision to withdraw its rezoning request will not affect city attempts to buy the land, said Ron Rotella, special consultant to the mayor. But Rotella said he isn't optimistic for a quick resolution." 1 of 1 10/13/00 9:39 AM Print All:Division of Historical Resources: 10/13/00 http://www.fbinews.com/clients/prin...&CFTOKEN=63304903&ID_Article=322277 FLORIDA BUSINESS INFORMATION Printed For: Division of Historical Resources Pensacola teen nearing goal of exonerating Navy captain (10/13/00 Miami Herald) PENSACOLA-A teen-ager's campaign to exonerate a World War II Navy captain court-martialed for losing his ship to a Japanese submarine is nearing success with House passage of legislation inspired by his school history project. The measure was included in the$310 billion defense authorization bill for the next budget year that passed 382-31 Wednesday. It was expected to receive quick passage in the Senate. Hunter Scott's middle-school history project four years ago, based heavily on interviews with surviving crew members of the USS Indianapolis, concluded that Capt. Charles Butler McVay III was unfairly made the scapegoat to cover the mistakes of superiors.The cruiser was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine. "I'm just overwhelmed," Hunter, now 15 and a sophomore at Pensacola High School, said after the House vote. "It just shows what hard work, a strong will and determination can do." His effort attracted national publicity and prompted U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough, R-Pensacola, to introduce the legislation. Hunter also testified before Congress and visited McVay's son, Kimo, in Hawaii. "He accomplished what a lot of people have been trying to accomplish for the past 40 years,"Scarborough said. "He got Congress to say Capt. McVay was not culpable for the loss of the Indianapolis and he was not responsible for the loss of the men who died as a result of the sinking." The Indianapolis went down July 30, 1945 just days after delivering parts of the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima.About 900 of 1,196 crew members survived the sinking but only 316 were picked up alive four days later. Many sailors were eaten by sharks. Hunter learned of their fate from the movie"Jaws"when one of the characters, a survivor, told of the sinking. The Indianapolis was the last U.S. ship sunk during the war and McVay was the first captain in naval history court-martialed for losing his ship in combat. Although convicted of negligence for failing to sail a zigzag course designed to thwart submarine attacks, McVay was allowed to remain in the Navy. He was promoted to rear admiral before retiring in 1949. He killed himself in 1968 at his Litchfield, Conn., home." 1 of 1 10/13/00 9:40 AM
