PUBLIC MEETING ITEMS: 3. CONTENT OF HISTORIC LANDMARK PLAQUE 136 N.E. 101ST STREET Mr. Bittner supplied the members of the Board with pertinent excerpts from the earliest found Polk's Miami Directory (1927) listing an occupant of 136 N.E. 101` Street. It indicated: "Parrott Geo W (Effie) slim h136 NE 1018." Mr. Bittner suggested that the Board consider including on the historic landmark plaque the name of the wife of the first owner and the occupation of the first owner, if these facts were known. After much argument and debate, Ms. Temkin moved, consistent with previous Board policy, to only include the husband's name on the plaque, in this case, "GEORGE W. PARROTT HOUSE". The motion was seconded by Ms. Logan Hynes and passed unanimously. Before moving onto the next plaque, further spirited debate ensued culnvnating in a motion to reconsider by Mr. Tenney, seconded by Mr. Camacho, which passed unanimously. After more discussion, Mr. Camacho moved that the plaque read: "GEORGE & EFFIE PARROTT HOUSE". Mr. Tenney seconded the motion which failed on a vote of 5 to 2 against the motion. More debate ensued, with Ms. Temkin suggesting that if the name of the wife was to be included, so should the name of the architect, if known, but on no account should the occupation of the first owner be listed, because that would be too much information on the plaque. Accordingly, Ms. Temkin moved that the plaque read: GEORGE W. & EFFIE PARROTT HOUSE [INSERT NAME OF ARCHITECT IF KNOWN] The motion was seconded by Ms. Hegedus -Garcia, and passed by a vote of 4 to 3. • • • Historic Preservation Board Regular Meeting December 8, 1997 Page 3 4. CONTENT OF HISTORIC LANDMARK PLAQUE 273 N.E. 98th STREET Mr. Bittner advised the Board that he was contacted by Christine Master, the owner of the house at 273 NE 981 Street and advised that workers, in attempting to clean the Historic Landmark Plaque, had defaced it. She had requested that the Board order a new one. Mr. Bittner reported that she was advised that a new one could be ordered at her expense, but that the Board would first have to vote on the content of the plaque. Mr. Bittner supplied the Board with his research materials on the identity of the first owner, i.e., David S. Zachary, from the Polk's Miami Directories for 1926 and 1927, page 12-3 of the unpublished manuscript of Emyrs Harris, and the National Register Site Form for the property. Mr. Bittner noted that the historical sources were inconsistent in the spelling of the last name, in specific, "Zachary" and "Zachry," but that the majority of source materials used "Zachary." In addition, Mr. Bittner noted that there was inconsistency in the middle initial of Mr. Zachary, Polk's directory using "S" one year and "I" another year, but that the majority of sources, including the unpublished manuscript, listed "S" as the middle initial. Ms. Frank moved to add this item to the agenda, seconded by Ms. Hegedus - Garcia, which passed unanimously. Ms. Hegedus -Garcia moved to include the following information on the Historic Landmark Plaque for this house: DAVID S. & ELIZABETH D. ZACHARY HOUSE KIEHNEL & ELLIOTT, ARCHITECTS The motion was seconded by Ms. Franck and passed unanimously. ANNOUNCEMENTS/COMMENTS 5.
