IDAR Gold Foil, applied with a 3M adhesive, was about 1/3 the cost of traditional gold
leaf Samples were shown to the Board, including pictures of other churches who had
used this process successfully. Ms. Logan Hynes moved to approve the use of the gold
foil as requested and Mr. Tenney seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
C. Tile Approval:
Dan Arguelles, of Architecture Roofing Technologies, was present and explained
to the Board that the tile to be used on the pump house addition would be Artesano tile,
a "C" shaped hand -made clay tile manufactured in Columbia. During the last meeting, Ms.
Macer showed the Board a sample of the proposed tile, but did not know the
manufacturer. Already being familiar with this tile from numerous prior applications, Ms.
Logan -Hynes moved to approve the use of the Artesanoun tile, which motion was seconded
by Mr. Camacho and approved unanimously.
PUBLIC MEETING ITEMS:
2. CONTENT OF HISTORIC LANDMARK PLAQUE
83 N.E. 100TH STREET
Mr. Bittner presented the Board with his historic research on this house which
included excerpts from the Polk's Miami Directories for 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929 & 1930.
These indicated that, although the house may have been built for Adolf P. Yung, as
indicated on the original blue prints on file, Mr. Yung never lived in the house. In 1927,
the house was vacant. In 1928, the house was occupied by Thomas A. Holton and his
wife, Bessie. Mr. Holton's occupation was listed as a Teacher at the Arch Creek Jr. High

School. In 1929, the house was again listed as vacant. In 1930, the house was occupied
by Hilty A. Reeve.
Based upon these historical facts, Ms. Hegedus -Garcia, the present owner of the
house, suggested that the plaque reflect the name of the person for whom the house was
built, i.e., Mr. Yung. Mr. Camacho argued in favor of Ms. Hegedus-Garcia's proposal.
Ms. Logan -Hynes disagreed stating that she favored having the plaque reflect the name of
the first people who lived in the house or who were generally associated over time with
the house, i.e., Mr. & Mrs. Holton, or somebody else, but not Mr. Yung, who had no
association with the house. Mr. Bittner indicated his agreement with Ms. Logan -Hynes
position, but could not comment on who, after 1930, may have been generally associated
with the house. Mr. Tenney indicated that both proposals had merit. Faced with the
unique situation where the blue prints reflected an owner who never lived in the house,
and to break the impasse, Ms. Logan -Hynes moved that the Board deviate from its usual
policy of including the name of the first resident and, instead, have the plaque read as
follows:
83 N.E.100m STREET
Built For Adolf P. Yung
by Tropical Home Designs
• Mr. Tenney seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
