Miami Shores Village Historic Preservation
Agenda:
2
1) Identification and update of historic designation process for properties from 1980-2000
Ms. Korman mentioned she spoke with an Associate General Counsel for the National
Trust for Historic Preservation regarding the Miami Shores Village convenant requirement
for historic properties that have been designated by the Village Council. To which he
opined, the covenant is not a requirement for such properties to be deemed as historically
designated.
Responding to Ms. Korman, Mr. Kendall stated he’s not qualified to opine on legal matters
and such interpretation should be referred to the Village Attorney. Nonetheless, Mr.
Kendall mentioned the intent of the item is to establish a verification process by which
historic properties from 1980-2000 are wholly designated in accordance with the Village
Code.
Ms. Korman mentioned she visited the County’s Clerk of Court records website to
research historically designated properties and found covenants linked to such property
files.
Mr. Kendall proposed amending the application process for applicants seeking a certificate
of appropriateness for properties that are on the existing incomplete information list to
include a copy of the restricted convenant along with the application. In the event the
property owner does not have such document, the property owner shall work with the
Village to record the restricted covenant with the County.
Ms. Korman clarified Nationally Registered Properties may not be locally designated and
thus spoke in opposition to Village staff using such list as guide to flag historically
designated properties in the Village’s permitting system.
Discussion ensued on whether the board should consider locally designated properties
that are on the National Historic Registry yet have not been designated by the Village
Council.
Mr. Tavares proferred visiting the 16 properties listed on the National Historic Registry that
have not been designated locally and determining based on the front façade of the
structure whether it qualifies for possible local designation.
Boardmembers proceeded to review the National Historic Registry List and assign the
properties for each boardmember to research in accordance with Mr. Tavares’
recommendation and report their findings at the next board meeting.
2) Updated (Contingent) Historic Preservation list based on existing incomplete information
4) NEXT REGULAR BOARD HEARING –As needed TBD
