Date: July 24, 2007 ITEM No. 4 , T CITY Backaround The Land Development Code (LDC) currently provides that the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) shall have seven members who reside or work in the City. The Code also states that all "members shall be familiar with the purposes of preserving and protecting districts, structures or sites having historic or archeological worth." Recently, the only architect in the Board was appointed to the Planning Board and the position was not filled with a professional architect. The LDC regulations mandate that the Board must have an architect member when it designates historic properties. Historic Board Request For the above reason, and to expand the expertise of the Board, the I­IPI3 adopted a motion at its April 30, 2007 meeting requesting that the LDC be amended to provide that the membership of the Board be expanded to nine members and that the two new members must be registered professional architects licensed to practice in the State of Florida. The Board felt that the proposed amendment is appropriate in that its work has increased significantly in the last two years. The expansion of designated sites has resulted in an increased number of Certificates of Appropriateness (exterior renovation permits) which often involve complicated restoration work and building additions must be reviewed by the Board. A Board member(s) with architectural background would be very important as part of the Board's review duties. Proposed LDC Amendment The proposed expansion of the Historic Preservation Board is very similar to the expansion for the Environmental Review and Preservation Board which was done in 2004. In that case, the Board was expanded to nine members and a landscape architect member was made mandatory. The proposed LDC amendment expands the Historic Preservation Board to nine and also includes a special provision which allows the City Commission, if necessary, to appoint a member architect who does not live or work in the City. Planning Board Action The Planning Board at its June 19, 2007 meeting Z adopted a motion by a vote of 4 ayes I nay (Ms. Young) g recommending that the proposed ordinance be approved with additional changes related to the quorum and term of service.

South Miami All-Amedca Cft IYCORPORaTEO CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM 2001 To- The Honorable Mayor Horace Feliu Via: Yvonne S. McKinley, City Manager From: Julian Perez, Planning Dir or Date: May 30, 2007 Subject:, Expansion of Historic Board Membership The Historic Preservation Board at its April 30, 2007 meeting adopted a motion requesting the Mayor and Commissioners to consider expanding the number of Board members from seven to nine., The purpose of the expansion would be to mandate that one or more of the new members would have to be a registered architect. Presently, there is no professional architect on the Board. If you and the City Commission wish to support this change, a simple directive to the Planning Department will suffice to initiate the process. The membership of the Historic Preservation Board is set forth in Section 20- 6.1(D) (1) of the Land Development Code, therefore a change in the membership will require the preparation and adoption of an ordinance.

The Code also states that all "members shall be familiar with the purposes of preserving and protecting districts, structures or sites having historic or archeological worth." Recently, the only architect in the Board was appointed to the Planning Board and the position was not filled with a professional architect. The LDC regulations mandate that the Board must have an architect member when it designates historic properties. For this reason, and to expand the expertise of the Board, the HPB adopted a motion at its April 30, 2007 meeting requesting that the LDC be amended to provide that the membership of the Board be expanded to nine members. The motion further stated that the new members should be registered professional architects licensed to practice in the State of Florida. The City Commission at its June 5, 2007 meeting directed the Planning Department to initiate this amendment. PROPOSED AMMNDMENTS In order to implement this change the following sections of the Code must be amended: Section 20- 6.1(D) (D) Historic Preservation Board. (1) Establishment and Menibership. (a) An Historic Preservation Board is hereby created which shall consist of (=7) nine L91 members who reside or work in the City. i. The Mayor, with the advice and consent of the City Commission, shall appoint the members of the board. ii. All members shall be familiar with the purposes of preserving and LDCAniendment June 19, 2007 Page 2 of 3 protecting districts, structures or sites having historic or archeological worth. iii Board membership shall include two f2) registered architects licensed to practice in the State of Florida. If it is determined by the City Commission that the positions of architect cannot be filled by a qualified individual who resides or works in the Citv, the residency requirement may be waived by the Commission and the position of architect may be filled by a gualified individual who does not reside or work in the CitV. iii.iv Members shall serve for a term of two (2) years, with a maximum of eight (8) years total service possible. 4) Procedures. (a) Quorum and voting. L A quorum shall be 3) five f 5 _I members. ii. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members present shall be required to pass upon any matter on which the board is required to act under this Code. iii. In instances when the board considers a designation report, a quorum shall consist of=& five members, at least one of whom shall be an architect. STAFF OBSERVATIONS (1) The above expansion of the HPB is very similar to the expansion for the Environmental Review and Preservation Board which was done in 2004. In that case, the Board was expanded to nine members and a landscape architect* member was made mandatory. The amendment also included a special provision which allowed the City Commission to appoint a landscape architect who did not live or work in the City. (2) The proposed amendment is appropriate in that the work of the HPB has increased significantly in the last two years. The expansion of the designated sites has resulted in an increased number of Certificates of Appropriateness (exterior renovation permits) being requested. These cases, often involving complicated restoration work and building additions must be reviewed by the Board. A Board member(s) with architectural background would be very important as part of the Board's review duties. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the proposed amendment be approved.

No. 8 141 Action: Chairman Morton requested a roll call. Board members present constituting a quorum: Mr. Davis, Mr. Farfan, and Ms. Yates Ms. Young. Members Absent: Ms. Chael and Ms. Beckman City staff present: Julian H. Perez (Planning Director), Sanford A. Youkilis (Planning Consultant), and Lluvia Resendiz (Administrative Assistant). IV. Planning Board Applications / Public Heari" Action: Mr. Morton read the ordinance into the record. Planning Board Meeting Page 2 of 3 Mr. Youkilis advised that the Land Development Code (LDC) indicates that the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) shall have seven members who reside or work within City limits. The Code also states that all "members shall be familiar with the purposes of preserving and protecting districts, structures, or sites having historic or archeological worth." Recently, the only architect on the Board was appointed to the Planning Board and the position was not filled with a professional architect. The LDC regulations mandate the Board must have an architect member when it designates historic properties. For this reason, and to expand the expertise of the Board, the HPB adopted a motion at its April 30, 2007 meeting requesting that the LDC be amended to read that the membership of the Board be expanded to nine members. The motion further stated that the new members should be registered professional architects licensed to practice in the State of Florida. The City Commission at its June 5, 2007 meeting directed the Planning Department to initiate this amendment. Recommendation: Staff recommended approval with the observation that the Board's work has expanded over the last two years with the creation of a district and ten designations resulting in an increase in the number of Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) being requested. Mr. Youkilis advised the Board of an email he received from Ms. Chael, referencing the subject matter. Mr. Morton read Ms. Chael's email into the record. He asked that if a registered architect was not available within the City of South Miami, could the Historic Board go outside the City and find a qualified individual who will be allowed as a Board member. He suggested including wording indicating that in the event a resident or in-town employee subsequently is available that there be a shift in Board members and the non-resident member too will be asked to resign. Preference should be given to a resident or someone that is actively involved. Mr. Morton also stated that the Historic Board is the only board having a service time limit. He added that finding an architect would be a problem if term limits were placed therefore he recommended the time limit be removed otherwise a two year term would be counterproductive. If the ordinance requires an architect, Florida statutes also require that only a registered architect can call oneself an architect therefore, the wording has to be modified. Chairman Morton opened the public hearing. Speakers: NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT/OPPOSE Ann Marie Clyatt 5421 SW 63 Ct. Support Ms. Clyatt advised she contacted four possible candidates however one individual whom seemed interested is not a registered architect. He only has a Masters Degree but has not started the exams required in order to become a registered architect. She advised that having the criteria alone will not suffice for a possible HPB candidate. She suggested changing the (HPB) meeting time in order to accommodate some Board members who have a conflict of schedules. She questioned the eight year term limit and inquired if there are any possibilities a member may remain on the Board if the Mayor could allow it, otherwise part of the Board would need to be replaced. Mr. Perez advised that he will Planning Board Meeting Page 3 of 3 provide an accurate answer for Ms. Clyatt and members of the Board after speaking to the city attorney. Mr. Morton inquired if the HPB would have more public exposure as well as public participation should the HPB meetings be held during evening hours. Ms. Clyatt advised it would be more difficult for the Board members to meet during evening hours. Mr. Youkilis advised that the meeting time was only tradition and could be changed. He stated that if the Planning Board recommends removing the eight year limit it may be done under this amendment reading. Ms. Young asked Ms. Clyatt to explain the difference between the duties of an individual with an architectural training of four years and a registered architect. She questioned the limitations that a non-registered architect would have when compared to a registered architect. Charlotte Dison 8031 SW 58 Ave. Support In reply to Ms. Young's question Ms. Dison stated that the difference between a trained and a registered architect deals with creditability. She has seen architects that have been before the HPB not only with renovation plans but also with redesigned historic structures. It is important for the HPB to have someone who has the capability of speaking architectural language and who understands portions of the Land Develop Code. This is a very significant and responsible matter especially if the HPB has the authority to grant variances. The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) sometimes becomes an issue and she believes it is language only someone who is an architect could comprehend. Having someone who has the credentials will help command respect from the architects coming before the Board. Donna Shelley 6544 SW 78 Terr. Support Ms. Shelley stated she takes issue with the fact that there is mention that the Board does not know what it is doing. She stated she has 15 years of experience in historic preservation of historic sites and museums. She was a manager of projects and has an understanding of historic preservation. She added that she is in *favor of having architects on the Board because potential Board members will speak the language that an architect going before the Board will understand. The Board tries to talk about volumetric and massing but the applicants know the Board members are not architects. Therefore, it would be beneficial to have people who respect each other's knowledge. In regards to what they can offer to the Board other than a person who is not registered, she agreed with the Mr. Morton that to call oneself an architect when one is not a registered architect will bring implications to the Board. Chairman Morton closed the public hearing. Motion: Mr. Morton moved the following amendment to the draft ordinance. Ms. Yates seconded.
