3. REPORT OF PROPOSED LANDMARK DESIGNATION
Ms. Newton reported that she had been doing some research concerned
with proposed Landmark Designation. Her findings on three residences
follow:
1. 61 N. E. 96th St.
The Board has already approved preliminary recommendation of
this property for Landmark Designation. The house has recently
been sold to Carl Davis, who is interested in designation. A
copy of the Covenant is being sent to him for his review, and
should he agree to sign, the Board will then make their recom-
mendation to Council, who makes the final decision.
2. 269 N. E. 99th St.
This property is owned by Diane Wiggins, herself an attorney.
She indicated that she would like to study the Covenant first,
and might go along.
3. 352 N. E. 98th St.
The owner of this property was J. P. Reeder before his death in
the past year. The property is now owned by his daughters, who
do not feel inclined to sign, since the house is for sale.
Discussion followed concerning the reverse opinion of so many with
regard to Landmark Designation. It was determined the best remedy is
to educate the public and also the Real Estate community.

In reply to query, Ms. Newton commented, there has been no further
action on the modified Covenant signed by Mr. & Mrs. Fabian, but she does
hope to have the problem ironed out in the next week or so.
4. COMMENTS, REPORTS, ANNOUNCEMENTS
A Historic Preservation Workshop, "Making Defensible Decisions"
will be held on May 24, 1986, 9:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M., at the Miami
Woman's Club.
In St. Petersburg on Friday and Saturday, May 30 & 31, 1986 there
will be a training program on Historic Preservation Ordinances in
Florida, sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Since several Members will be absent for the June meeting,
Mr. Gaggstatter moved to cancel the meeting in June, seconded by
Mrs. Colangelo, and passed unanimously. Discussion followed con-
cerning the July and August meetings, it was decided not to call
these meetings off at this time.
Ms. Newton noted that since she will be away during the month of
June, she appointed Mr. Gaggstatter to serve as Chairman in her
absence, should questions arise.
Concerning the Federal Grant Assistance, a letter from George Percy,
Bureau of Historic Preservation Florida Department of State, was read.
Mr. Percy regretfully advised that Federal Grant funds have not been
forthcoming in the amount anticipated, therefore, only the five top
ranked projects can be funded. Since Miami Shores Historic Preserva-
tion is ranked #10 on the priority list, there will no funds available
from 1986 funding.
Brief discussion followed.
Mrs. Colangelo moved to apply for available funds from the State of
Florida this fall, seconded by Mr. Gaggstatter, and carried unanimously.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 8:00 P.M..
Approved 77`l,et,
Chairman
