SUBJECT: MEETING OF AUGUST 19, 2003
REQUEST FOR AN ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH AN INDIVIDUAL HISTORIC
DESIGNATION FOR THE PROPERTY AT 102 NE 12t~ STREET CONSlSlTING OF
LOT 9~ BLOCK 6~ DELL PARK~ LOCATED BE'FWEEN NORTH SWINTON AVENUE
AND NE 2ND AVENUE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NE 12TM STREET.
This request was initially discussed during the City Commission Meeting of August 5, 2003, at which
time it was determined that the designation for the Amelung House should be limited to Lot 9, Block 6,
Dell Park subdivision as this is the only lot on which the relocated house will occupy. The adjacent
property (to the east) and associated dwelling and structures are not eligible for an individual historic
designation. The vacant lot (Lot 9) has tentatively been assigned the address of 102 NE 12th Street
and will be referred to as such in all future references to the relocated house. Upon relocation and
designation of the property, the applicant will request approval of an alternate orientation of the house
(lengthwise to face east/west), create a new front entrance on the north side of the house, and
request a waiver through the Historic Preservation Board to reduce the required lot area. Further, the
applicant will request a variance from the Board of Adjustment to reduce the side (west) setback of
the structure on Lot 8 which will become non-conforming with removal of Lot 9 from the overall
property description associated with the existing structures. The Board was advised of the proposed
plan for the future relocation, orientation and new entrance, and the pending waiver request during
their meetings of June 18 and July 16, 2003. Based on the age and architectural significance, the
Historic Preservation Board gave preliminary support based on the facts presented.
It is anticipated that the proposed relocation of the Amelung House will occur in early September as
the applicant is required to remove the building from its current site at 1125 Vista Del Mar Drive no
later than September 7, 2003. The designation will become effective at the time the building is placed
on Lot 9.

MEETING OF AUGUST 5, 2003
REQUEST FOR AN ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH AN INDIVIDUAL HISTORIC
DESIGNATION FOR THE PROPERTY AT `106 NE `12~" STREET INCLUDING THE WEST
HALF OF LOT 7~ AND ALL OF LOTS 8 & 9~ BLOCK 6~ LOCATED BETWEEN NORTH
SWINTON AVENUE AND NE 2"~ AVENUE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NE 12m STREET.
The proposed designation consists of the west half of Lot 7 and all of Lots 8 and 9, Block 6, Dell Park
subdivision. Constructed in 1949, the extant dwelling lies on Lots 7 & 8. Lot 9 is presently vacant. This Masonry
Vernacular style, single family home has been significantly altered over the years and does not qualify for
designation. The applicant wishes to relocate an existing Sears & Roebuck kit house from its present location at
1125 Vista Del Mar to the vacant portion of this site (Lot 9), due to a threat of demolition. If relocated, the house
would be moved just to the north of the Del-Ida Park Historic District. Constructed in 1937, the two-story, four
bay, frame house displays wood shiplap siding, casement windows, a front-facing gable entryway, and side-
facing gable roof with two symmetrical, gabled dormers. A chimney lies to the west of the center of the building,
asymmetrical to the entryway. The fa(}ade is symmetrical with the exception of the one-story extension on the
east elevation (a later addition). As the residence is architecturally unique in its own right and is not contiguous
to one of the five established historic districts, it would be a good addition to the Local Register as an individually
listed property.
During its meeting on July 16, 2003, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed the designation report for the
dwelling during a public hearing and voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend to the City Commission designating
the single family dwelling as an individually listed property in the Delray Beach Local Register of Historic Places.
The residence at 1125 Vista Del Mar Drive (soon to be relocated to 102 NE 12th Street), constructed in 1937 as
a single-family residence, is being considered for listing in the Local Register of Historic Places under the criteria
in LDR Section 4.5.1(B)(3)(a), portrays the environment in an era of history characterized by one or more
distinctive architectural styles, LDR Section 4.5.1(B)(3)(b), embodies those distinguishing characteristics of an
architectural style, period, or method of construction, and LDR Section 4.5.1(B)(3)(c), is a historic or
outstanding work of a prominent architect, designer, landscape architect, or builder as the building is
architecturally significant for its unique method of construction, its level of architectural integrity, and for its
representation of architectural development in Delray Beach and South Florida in the 1930s. If approved,
waivers and variances will be processed to permit the relocation of the building on the lot at 106 NE 12th Street.
If the building is not relocated, the building is slated for demolition in order to accommodate new construction at
1125 Vista Del Mar Drive. If approved, the designation would not become effective until the house is relocated.
Continue with direction.
Approve on first reading Ordinance 25-03 to establish '106 NE 12th Street, the Amelung House, as an
individually listed historic property pursuant to Section 4.5.1.(C)(6) of the Land Development Regulations
and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Deny approval of'Ordinance 25-03 to establish 106 NE 12th Street, the Amelung House, as an individually
listed historic property, with basis stated.
