SUMMARY The Historic Preservation Board at its December 27, 2004 meeting, reviewed an historic designation report for a commercial building located at 4000 SW 57th Avenue. Following a public hearing, the Board adopted a motion recommending that this area be designated an historic site. In 2004, the Land Development Code was amended to create the "HP-OW Historic Preservation Overlay zoning district and to require that designations become a zone map change. The procedures set forth in that amendment requires the Planning Board to hold a public hearing on all designations recommended by the Historic Preservation Board. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS The current LDC provides the following regulations on the City Commission's role in the historic designation process: (Section 20-5.17(F) "F) City Commission Public Hearing. (1) Public Hearing Requirement. The City Commission shall hold a public hearing, pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 20- 5.5(G) and notice requirements LDC HP -0V Rezoning Allen's Drug Store p.2 of 3 of subsection (2) and as required by the provisions of the City Charter, on each proposed designation within sixty (60) calendar days of the recommendation by the Historic Preservation Board and /or the filing of the completed designation report. (2) Notice Requirement. At least ten (10) calendar days prior to the public hearing for each proposed designation of an individual site, district or zone, the Planning Director shall mail a copy of the designation report to the owner at the address listed on the most recent tax rolls as notification of the intent of the City Commission to consider designation of the property. (3) Objections. Upon notification, any owner of a property proposed for individual designation who wishes to object shall submit to the City Clerk's Office a notarized statement certifying the objection to the designation. ALLEN'S DRUG STORE BUILDING The designation of an historic site requires that the Historic Preservation Board approve a Designation Report which sets forth the history of the building and the architectural significance. Attached to this staff report is the Designation Report which was approved by the Historic Board after a.public hearing at its December 27 2004 meeting. The report contains a very detailed history of the site and includes photographs of the building. The designation of the building is based upon it being a classical example of Art Moderne architecture and its role in the development of the City of South Miami. The attached designation report describes in detail the significance of this building (pp. 6 -8). STAFF OBSERVATIONS (1) The designation report and the procedures followed by the Historic Preservation Board are in accordance with the current LDC regulations governing historic site /district designations. (2) The designation of historic sites is compatible with several of the Future Land Use Element goals and objectives contained in the Comprehensive Plan: Objective 1.2 Preserve historic resources by experiencing no demolition or reconfiguration of specified resources ......... (3) An historic designation will require that a designated site must obtain special approval in the form of a "certificate of appropriateness" (COA) for any alteration, renovation, remodeling, or landscape changes affecting the exterior of the building (includes demolition). This approval requires a public hearing and review by the Historic Preservation Board and final approval by the City Commission. The Designation Report contains a section (p.9) entitled Design Review Guidelines which establishes architectural guidelines for the review of future certificates of appropriateness. (4) The proposed designation will not require changes to any of the dimensional standards or permitted uses currently applicable to the area's GR (General Retail) zoning district. LDC HP -OV Rezoning Allen's Drug Store p.3 of 3 PLANNING BOARD ACTION The Planning Board at its January 25, 2005 meeting, after public hearing, voted 3 ayes 2 nays (Mr. Morton, Mr. Illas) to recommend historic designation and an HP -OV zoning district for the Allen's Drug Store Building at 4000 SW 57th Avenue.

SIGNIFICANCE Specific Dates: 1948 Architect: Gerald Pitt Builder/ Contractor: Gaines Construction Company Statement of Significance Allen's Drug Store is a distinctive commercial building that reflects the architectural trends of the time and that serves as testament to the rapid growth of the City of South Miami following World War II. Although the building has received alterations over time, principally to the individual storefronts, its general form and character is substantially intact. Contextual History: During the late 1880s, South Miami was little more than a pioneer enclave of settlers who established homesteads in the area. When Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway built an extension from Miami to Homestead in 1904, with South Miami (then known as The Town of Larkins) as a stop along the way, the community was poised for its development. By 1917 the population of the town had reached approximately 350. By July 1918 nine plats had been filed, four -of them east of the railroad and five of them to the west. Much of the land remained in agricultural use. In March 1926, sixty -nine qualified voters within the proposed corporate limits met to change the name of their town from Larkins to the City of South Miami. At that time the boundaries, which covered approximately six square miles, were: Red Road on the east; Ludlum and Palmetto Road on the west; Bird Road and Miller Road on the north, and SW 104th Street and North Kendall Drive on the south. At that time, South Miami's immediate neighbor to the east was Coral Gables. - The first lots in Coral Gables were sold in 1921, and under the leadership of George E. Merrick, continued to expand as more and more land could be acquired. Eventually, even the Larkin's Homestead, located in the vicinity of the current Cocoplum (Cartagena) Circle, was sold to Coral Gables, and the development of South Miami moved west. During the 1920s all of South Florida was caught up in the frenetic activity of the Florida Land Boom. South Miami was no exception. During these flamboyant City of South Miami Historic Designation Report for 4000 SW 57th Avenue (Allen's Drug Store) Page 5 times there were several buildings of consequence constructed in South Miami including the Methodist Church and the Riviera Theater (demolished.) Residential subdivisions were platted as thousands purchased homes in the area. The subdivision of Cambridge Lawns, (a City of South Miami Historic District) that includes modestly scaled homes designed in an English Tudor or Mediterranean Revival style, was built in 1927. By 1927, the real estate boom had abruptly ended, and the state of Florida entered into an economic depression even before the rest of the nation, when the Stock Market collapsed in 1929. In 1933 the City's population increased to 1,500 residents, but the corporate limits of the city were reduced to an area of approximately four square miles. In the book "Florida: A Guide to the Southernmost State" produced by The Federal Writer's Project under Roosevelt's New Deal and published in 1939, South Miami was described in this way: SOUTH MIAMI, 9 miles (1,160 population), originally named Larkins for an early storekeeper, was given its present name the day after his death. Several plants here pack tomatoes, truck crops, and citrus for shipment to market. South of the town are abandoned limestone quarries filled with clear water and used as swimming pools. The perception of South Miami as a principally agricultural area would change dramatically when America began to gear up for its entry into World War II. South Florida became an enormous training camp for the soldiers who would be called to battle. By the time the war ended in ' 1945, the nation once again experienced economic prosperity, and South Florida was besieged by hundreds of returning servicemen who made this their permanent home. The evidence in the growth of the City of South Miami is reflected in its building permits. In 1936 the city reported the value of new construction at $53,700. In 1948 the total reached $1,764,964 and during the first six months of 1949 the total was $672, 885. The corner of Red Road and SW 40th Street (Bird Road) is a major intersection in South Miami: The one story commercial building at 4000 SW 57th Avenue occupies an important part of the intersection as it hugs the sidewalk with a zero foot lot line. The building actually "wraps" around the corner and extends west onto Bird Road and south onto SW 57th Avenue. Even though the building was constructed during the age of automobiles, the Allen's Drug Store building made no accommodation for a parking lot. Interestingly, there was formerly a trolley car line that ran from downtown Coral Gables along Bird Road (SW 40th Street) to the Seaboard Airline Railway Terminal located at Coral Way and 72nd Avenue. The line was the last to be built in Coral Gables, and was open just five months from January through May 1927. Although the trolley was discontinued, public transportation byway of bus was City of South Miami Historic Designation Report for 4000 SW 57th Avenue (Allen's Drug Store) Page 6 active along the Bird Road corridor, during the period in which the building was constructed. Presumably, the absence of a parking lot was testament to the owner's reliance on public transportation to bring customers into the store. Over the years, the building has had a number of tenants, with the longest occupant Allen's Drug Store. Allen's in operation there for over forty years features a soda fountain and counter reminiscent of the 1950s, when this type of restaurant was commonplace across the United States. Today however, the soda fountain is a relic of past times, and Allen's survives as one of the few establishments that remain successful. tll. ARCHITECTURAL DISTINCTION Allen's Drug Store, a commercial building" with a series of storefronts, was designed in an Art Moderne style that was popular throughout the nation during the late 1920s and into the 1940s. Art Deco and Art Moderne were used to describe products of modern architecture in the United States. The tem "Art Deco" derives from the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes'held in Paris in 1925. At that exhibition, . artists and architects were prohibited from referencing historical styles. The design vocabulary invented capitalized on the use of geometry and simple, bold forms with simplified or stylized ornament to achieve the desired effect. That effect is one that evokes a sleek, clean form that relies more on geometry than applied ornament. Characteristics of the Art Moderne style include: • Smooth wall surfaces (usually stucco) • Fiat roofs with a small ledge (coping) at the roof line • Horizontal grooves or incised lines in walls • One or more corners of the building may be curved ® Windows are frequently continuous around corners • Glass block is often used for window apertures • Small round windows are common The building at 4000 SW 57th Avenue expresses many of these design features. The focus of the building is at its rounded corner where the main entrance to Alien's Drug Store is located. A continuous horizontal ledge (or eyebrow) extends along the length of the building, just above the glass storefronts. The wall surface above the storefronts is ornamented with intermittent panels that feature vertical score lines. The parapet wall, (the edge of which has recently been covered with a metal flashing) repeats the horizontal emphasis established by the eyebrow detail, as it too extends the length of the building. City of South Miami Historic Designation Report for 4000 SW 57th Avenue (Allen's Drug Store) Page 7 The glazing for the building consists of fixed glass" panels that reinforce the simplicity of the design, Art Deco and Art Moderne commercial buildings are also known for their use of neon signage. Some of the most elaborate neon signs were produced during the 1940s and 1950s. The Allen's Drug Store signs, particularly the word "DRUGS" than takes up almost the entire parapet wall at the main entrance on the corner, is an important design feature that adds to the building's sense of time and place. Alterations There are a considerable number of building permits for minor alterations to the building. The majority of the permits are for signage, and minor storefront alterations that occurred as the tenants changed. The building continues to reflect its original form and substance despite these alterations, and is considered to possess its historic.i.ntegrity. Eligibility for Designation The proposed designation of Allen's Drug Store, 4000 SW 57th Avenue, meets the following criterion contained in the South Miami Land Development Code, Section, 20.4.9 "Historic Preservation Standards:" (a) Districts, sites, structures and objects of national, state and local importance are of historic significance if they possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association and: (b) Are associated with events that have made a significant_ contribution to the broad patterns of our history, and (d) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type period, method of construction or work of a master; or that possess high artistic value, or that represent a distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction Therefore, the commercial building at 4000 SW 57th Avenue, commonly known as "Allen's Drug Store" is recommended for local historic designation. City of South Miami Historic Designation Report for 4000 SW 57'h Avenue (Allen's Drug Store) Page 8 Desian Review Guidelines In accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 20.5.19 of the City's Land Development Code, any building permit for exterior alteration, renovation or demolition of an existing structure which is designated historic, or is within a designated historic district shall first require the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA.) The COA is issued after a review by the Historic Preservation Board and City Commission. The Historic Preservation Board shall adopt and may, from time to time, amend the standards by which applications for a Certificate of Appropriateness may be evaluated. In adopting these guidelines, it shall be the intent of the Board to promote maintenance, restoration, adaptive uses appropriate to the property, and compatible contemporary designs that are harmonious with the exterior architectural and landscape features of neighboring buildings, sites, and streetscapes. In order to assist in the review process for the Commercial Building at 4000 SW 57+" Street (Allen's Drug Store) the following design guidelines should be consulted.

The procedures set forth in that amendment requires the Planning Board to hold a public hearing on all designations recommended by the Historic Preservation Board. Additionally, Mr. O'Donniley indicated to the Board that the designation of an historic site requires that the Historic Preservation Board approve a Designation Report which sets forth the history of the building and the architectural significance. Attached to the staff report presented was the Designation Report, which was approved by the Historic Board. The report contains a very detailed history of the site and includes photographs of the building. The designation of the building is based upon it being a classical example of Art Moderne architecture and its role in the development of the City of South Miami, The attached designation report describes in detail the significance of this building on pages 6 thru 9. Mr. O'Donniley provided a summary of staff's observation. The observation are listed below: (1) The designation report and the procedures followed by the Historic Preservation Board are in accordance with the current LDC regulations governing historic site /district designations. (2) The designation of historic sites is compatible several of the Future Land Use Element goals and objectives contained in the Comprehensive Plan. (3) An historic designation will require that a designated site must obtain special approval in the form of a "certificate of appropriateness" (COA) for any alteration, renovation, remodeling, or landscape changes affecting the exterior of the building (includes demolition). (4) The proposed designation will not require changes to any of the dimensional standards or permitted uses currently applicable to the area's GR (General Retail) zoning district. Mr. O'Donniley concluded his report by stating that planning staff recommends that the historic designation and the placement of an "HP -OV" over of the existing zoning district for 4000 SW 57 Avenue (Allen's Drug Store Building), be approved. Planning Board Meeting January 25, 2005 The Board discussed the issue that the owner, Mr. Matthews does not approve of the designation. Mr. O'Donniley replied that the Land Development Code with regards to historic designations does not require an owner's consent to designate a property historic. Applicant present: Mr. Jake Matthews Mr. Matthews indicated to the Board he did not wish to have his property designated. Mr. Matthews explained he did not want any additional restrictions placed on the building due and he indicated he was not looking for a tax break. He wanted to the building to be left as it is. Mr. Morton opened the Public Hearing. Speakers: NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE Sharon McCain Opposed Ms. McCain stated she did not feel the fagade of the building should be considered historic.
