10-04-1982 Regular Meeting (2)• • r Miami Jhores9Illage F L OR ID A HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD OCTOBER 4, 1982 A regular meeting of the Historic Preservation Board was held on Monday, October 4, 1982, 7:30 P.M., at the Miami Shores Village Hall, with the following members present: Marty Stofik, Chairman C. Lawton McCall Ralph Renick James A. Dixon, Jr. Victor D. Griffith Also Present: Leslie R.Forney, Village Manager (for a portion of meeting) 2) MINUTES: Minutes of the meeting of September 1, 1982 were approved as written by motion made by Mr. Dixon, seconded by Mr. Griffith and carried unanimously. Mr. Forney advised the Board a letter was received from the State Historic Preservation Officer. State Officials sent our Ordinance on to Federal Agency in Atlanta with the recommendation that it be rejected for certification; the primary reason is the owner -consent portion as it applies to districts, not as it applies to the individual only. The State feels it will be more in harmony with Federal law if residents of a district, or a group of selected individuals of a district (i.e. a plurality) is required for consent. No action will be taken by the Village until the Ordinance goes to the Federal Government and comes back to us. Mr, Forney advised that the Assistant County Attorney and Metro's Bogue Wallen called relative to the existing problem relative to owner -consent at Miami Beach and inquired if Miami Shores would change our Ordinance. Mr. Forney would not agree to a change. He noted there is a different feeling in Miami Shores on Preservation than transitory Miami Beach. He also noted the question of whether we are going to sit back and allow the County to dictate our Ordinance. It was necessary for the Village Manager to leave at this time to attend a meeting concurrent with the Preservation Board. • • • Jhores llage F L OR ID A - 2 - October 4, 1982 3) WORKSHOP This workshop is for the establishment of guidelines and procedures for designation of historic landmarks and granting of certificates of appropriateness. Utilizing the County Guidelines, Mrs. Stofic prepared Guidelines for review by the Board and noted that essentially three points are to be set, namely; a) Establish Guidelines and forms to be used for granting Certificates of Appropriateness. b) Establish Guidelines and forms to be used to evaluate buildings. c) Formulate a policy as to priorities, i.e., what we will allow, what we want, and what we don't want,: etc. Discussion was held on the Guidelines and definitions contained therein. The Board enumerated various structures representative of architectural, historical, contextual and archeological significance. Some of the residences considered were the Frank Proud House (present resident David C.McGrath), 363 N.E. 98th Street; the Hansford D. Tyler residence, 431 N.E. 94th St (reupted to be 24 yrs. old); Dean R.

Alexander of 262 N.E. 96th called the Chairman and asked the Board to consider her residence for historical designation. Honorary historic designation for the oldest private, public and commercial Village structure was discussed. Mr. McCall will investigate and report to the Board at a future meeting. Mr. Ralph Renick moved that we adopt the Guidelines as submitted to the Board, seconded by Mr. McCall and carried unanimously. (Copy attached). Designation plaque for use by the Historic Preservation Board was considered. Mr. Renick expressed preference for a plaque made of material other than brass, with color for distinct visability. Following discussion, • • • iarrti Jhores9illage F L OR ID A - 3 - October 4, 1982 Mr. Dixon moved that we recommend to the Village Manager that we request the recreation department, with its staff, design a ceramic plaque for use by the Historic Preservation Board for designation of properties in Miami Shores Village. The motion was seconded by Mr. McCall and carried unanimously. The Historic Preservation Board recommended that an announcement be published in the November Village Bulletin that the Shores is seeking historic sites and would appreciate public input from the Village residents. The Board also wished to recommend to the Council that the artifacts housed in the Brockway Library be designated as the property of Miami Shores Village and the Library is the repository for same. 4) It was determined following discussion, that future regular meetings will be held on the 3rd Monday of the month.
