82-93 MEMORANDUM
TO: Susan A. Ruby, City Attorney
FROM: Alison MacGregor Harty, City Clerk~~t
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 82-93/Designating the Property at 622
North Ocean Boulevard as Historic Site
DATE: May 27, 1994
I have in my "hold" file Ordinance No. 82-93 which designates the
property located at 622 North Ocean Boulevard as an historic
site. This is the western lot of the Hancock Subdivision which
final plat was approved by the City Commission on May 3, 1994
(Hancock Subdivision Development Order approved 5/10/94).
Ordinance No. 82-93 for historic designation on the western
property was approved by the City Commission on first reading on
December 7, 1993. No further action has been taken on it. It
has not been advertised for public hearing nor have I been asked
to schedule it. It's my understanding that second reading of the
ordinance was to have been scheduled when and if the subdivision
plat was approved.
Since I would like to close on the ordinance (either schedule for
action or void it out and start over), I'd appreciate your
direction on which way to proceed. Roger Saberson is the agent.
At your convenience, please advise. Thanks for your help.
Attachment: Ord. No. 82-93
MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
DATE: December 5, 1993
This is the first reading of an ordinance designating property located
at 622 N. Ocean Boulvard as a local historic site.
The nomination for designation as an historic site was initiated by
the owners. The house was built in 1935 for cartoonist Fontaine Fox.
Palm Beach Architect, John L. Volk designed the two story frame
residence in the Monterey style. It contains all of its original
architectural elements and is in excellent condition.
Concurrently with this item, the applicant is submitting a subdivision
plat of the property. The plat proposes to divide the property into
two separate lots, one on the east side of A-1-A and one on the west.
A non-conforming lot will be created on the east lot with respect to
minimum lot size and depth. The plat is currently being reviewed and
will be presented to the Commission as soon as the technical items
and comments are addressed.
The historic designation would apply only to the western lot which
contains the house.
The property owners are requesting that second reading of the
ordinance be postponed until the plat is ready for consideration.
They have also indicated that, if the subdivision plat is not
approved, they will withdraw their request for the historic
designation.
The Historic Preservation Board at their November 3rd meeting
recommended approval of the historic designation (west side only),
based on positive findings with respect to LDR Sections 4.5.1 (B) and
(C). A detailed staff report is attached as backup material for this
item.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 82-93 on first reading pursuant to
positive findings with respect to LDR Section 4.5.1 (B).
