UH, THOSE ARE THE TWO ONLY TWO PROPERTIES LISTED ON OUR LOCAL REGISTER. AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ONE. SO IT'S VERY EXCITING. UH, WE DO HAVE CECILIA LEWIS, WHO IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE WOMEN'S CLUB OF STEWART AND OTHER MEMBERS, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, UH, FROM THE CLUB, UH, TO HERE TO THE DESIGNATION OF THE CLUBHOUSE. UH, WE ALSO WANT TO THANK JULIE PRIEST. UM SHE IS THE LOCAL HISTORIAN. SHE DID A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESEARCH TO PREPARE THE PETITION PACKAGE. UH, DETAILING THE HISTORY OF THE CLUBHOUSE AND THE CLUB ITSELF, UH, THE PROPERTY AND THE BUILDING ARCHITECTURE. UM, SO AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE JULIE PRIEST TO GIVE A PRESENTATION ON ALL THE RESEARCH AND FINDINGS. UH THAT MAKES THIS , UH, PROJECT AND PROPERTY SIGNIFICANT TO THE STEWART'S HISTORY. UH, THE WHOLE THE WHOLE PACK IS THE RESEARCH WAS SUBMITTED IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE. SO IF YOU WANNA FOLLOW ALONG, UM SHE'LL, UH SHE'LL REFER TO THE PAGES THAT, UM, SHE'LL DESCRIBE AS PART OF HER PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, PAL. GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I AM JULIE PRIEST. I AM A HISTORICAL RESEARCH VOLUNTEER, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE WORD VOLUNTEER.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I ALREADY, UH, GAVE FAIR WARNING TO BANAL. THIS MAY BE MY LAST PRESENTATION ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION FOR A WHILE, I'M GOING TO BE FOCUSING ON PERSONAL PROJECTS. UH, FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER OF MY LIFE. UH, I REFER YOU TO PAGE NUMBER ONE AT THE START THAT CONTAINS THE CONTENTS. YOU'VE RECEIVED LETTERS OF SUPPORT THE PROPERTY, DEED, DATA AND AERIALS. THE PETITION ITSELF. PHOTOGRAPHS UH, THE NAME OF THE ARCHITECT IS ROBERT GEORGE JELKA QUITE DISTINGUISHED NEWSPAPER ARTICLES ONLY FOR CERTAIN YEARS. THERE ARE TONS OF NEWSPAPER ARTICLES

[00:10:04]

ON WHAT THIS GROUP HAS ACCOMPLISHED SINCE 1913. AND THE CHRONOLOGY, WHICH IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE EASIEST DOCUMENTS TO LOOK AT TO SEE HOW THINGS HAVE PROGRESSED SINCE 1913 NOW I REF REFER YOU TO PAGE 30 IF YOU DON'T MIND, PAL. TO THE BOARD. DO YOU ALL HAVE? I GUESS EVERYBODY'S LOOKING AT THE SCREEN. SO YOU DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER. UH, LET ME GET TO PAGE 30. MAYBE SOMEDAY, JULIE. MAYBE SOMEDAY I HOPE SO. OK? UH THIS IS ACTUALLY ON PAGE 30 THE START OF THE OF THE PETITION. PRIOR TO THAT YOU SAW THE LETTERS OF SUPPORT THE DEEDS, THE AERIALS AND THINGS, UH, SHOWING YOU, THE ACTUAL ON-SITE BUILDING WHERE IT'S LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF STEWART AND SO FORTH, WHICH I'M I'M SURE YOU ALL TOOK A LOOK AT ARE YOU PREPARED THIS PETITION SO THAT THE NEXT PERSON THAT WILL DO THIS CAN ACTUALLY TAKE THIS INFORMATION ALMOST AS AS IT IS WRITTEN AND PRESENTED TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES TO GET DESIGNATED BY THE NATIONAL REGISTER. I'M HOPING THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL FILL MY SHOES AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT . SO THIS IS A MID CENTURY MODERN STRUCTURE AND, UM ALL PROBABLY HAS A PHOTOGRAPH, BUT WE'LL GET INTO THE PHOTOGRAPHS LATER. THE WALLS ARE ARE STUCCO, CONCRETE BLOCK AND STEEL. THE ROOF IS STANDING STANDING SEA METAL ROOF AND OF COURSE, THERE ARE OTHER, UM, ITEMS THAT ARE OF IMPORTANCE. IT'S RECLAIMED BRICK . IT HAS WROUGHT IRON COLUMNS AT THE FRONT ON THE PORCH. IT HAS ANOTHER PORCH TO THE REAR, AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE WINDOWS AND THE DOORS. HOWEVER FOR THE MOST PART, THE SHELL OF THE BUILDING IS ORIGINAL. BUT THE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD ASSUME UH, HAD TO HAD DETERIORATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WERE REPLACED THE WINDOWS THE DOORS ON THE EXTERIOR. THE INTERIOR DOORS ARE ALL ORIGINAL. UM AND SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY CHANGE TO THE BILL. THE BILL WAS NEVER MOVED. IT WAS NEVER ADDED ON TO. IT'S STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL FOOTPRINT. THE ARCHITECT AS I SAID, IS ROBERT GEORGE JELKA, WHO IS VERY DISTINGUISHED IN BROWARD COUNTY, AND THAT INFORMATION OF WHAT SOME OF THE BUILDINGS THAT HE DESIGNED ARE IN THIS REPORT. ALSO A FORMER CITY COMMISSIONER WAS THE CONTRACTOR. JOHN L TAYLOR, WHICH I FOUND TO BE QUITE INTERESTING. THAT'S THE FIRST TIME IN MY, UH, DOING A RESEARCH FOR HISTORICAL PRESERVATION THAT A CITY COMMISSIONER WAS A CONTRACTOR.

SO I'M GOING TO SCROLL DOWN. YOU HAVE THE DESCRIPTION. IT IS A 3854 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING. UH WHICH THAT NUMBER CAME FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE, AND ALL OF THE DETAILS ARE ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES AND LET ME JUST, UH GET TO WHERE THERE WERE SOME MODIFICATIONS, PLEASE, IF YOU GIVE ME A SECOND, PAL, IF YOU WOULD GO TO PAGE 32 THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE INTERIOR.

THOSE ARE VERY IMPORTANT FEATURES THAT, UM THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES IS ALWAYS LOOKING AT. AS I TOLD YOU EVERYTHING ELSE. PRETTY MUCH FOR THE EXTERIOR IS AS ORIGINAL BUT WHAT HAS BEEN CHANGED IN 1971? THEY PUT AN AIR CONDITIONING. NATURALLY THEY DID A REJUVENATION OF THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. UH, THEY, UH, DID A BRAND NEW KITCHEN AND THEY DID SOME OTHER FEATURES ON THE INSIDE WHERE THEY REMOVED THEY HAD A STAGE AT THE FRONT OF THE PRIMARY HALL. I HOPE SOME OF YOU HAVE WE'VE BEEN IN THIS BUILDING IN THE PAST. UH, THEY CHANGED THE CEILING OUT IN THE PRIMARY HALL. UH AND THEY THEY CHANGED THE VANITIES IN THE RESTROOM IN THE RESTROOMS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT , THE WALL TILE IS STILL ORIGINAL. THE FLOOR TILE IS NOT BUT THE INTERESTING PART ABOUT THIS BUILDING AND WHEN YOU WALK INTO IT, YOU IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THE TERRAZZO FLOORS. THOSE OF YOU WHO GREW UP IN FLORIDA ARE FAMILIAR WITH TERRAZZO FLOORS.

THERE WERE PEOPLE OF SIGNIFICANCE AND, UM, I'VE GONE TO PAGE 33, PAL. THAT, UM WERE IN THE GROUP THAT STARTED IT. BUT PANEL I'M GONNA MOVE YOU IF YOU DON'T MIND, AND I'M GOING TO ENLARGE IT ON MY SCREEN PAGE 34 THAT SHOWS SCAN OF THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO FIND FROM 1950 OR NO, THIS WOULD BE 1913 THE BUILDING ITSELF AND I FAILED TO TELL YOU WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1958. HOWEVER THIS GROUP WAS STARTED IN 1913. SO WE HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT TO THE PEOPLE OF SIGNIFICANCE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE LIST YOU WILL SEE SOME IMPORTANT NAMES. SOME OF YOU WILL RECOGNIZE. I'M JUST GOING TO QUICKLY GO THROUGH HARRY DYER, THE DYER BUILDING ON THE CORNER. THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ALWAYS ASKING WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THAT BUILDING. FRASIER MARGARET FRASIER, SHE DONATED KIWANIS PARK KIWANIS. UH THAT ENTIRE SUBDIVISION WAS A PROJECT THAT SHE WAS INVOLVED WITH. UH MISS HANEY IS ON THIS. EVERYONE KNOWS. MISS HANEY. UH WE HAVE HARRE. SHE WAS VERY ACTIVE. JOHN'S, UH, THE FUNERAL HOME. WE HAVE YOU RECOGNIZE THAT NAME? WE HAVE KITCHEN. UH, LET ME MOVE ON TO THE SECOND COLUMN. YOU HAVE MATTHEWS MATTHEWS. SAM MATTHEWS

[00:15:04]

BUILT A LOT OF BUILDINGS HERE. ORIGINAL HISTORIC BUILDINGS. WE HAVE EDWARD MAP MAP ROAD IN PALM CITY. WE HAVE THE MCPHERSON'S, UH, LET ME MOVE ON. WE HAVE POMEROY. YOU RECOGNIZE THE STREET NAME? UH I BELIEVE HE WAS SHERIFF. AT ONE POINT. WE HAVE GEORGE PARKS. WE HAVE THE STEWART FEED STORE THAT WAS GEORGE PARK'S BUILDING. WE HAVE RECOUP FROM PALM CITY. AND LET ME WE HAVE TOUSSAINT, WHICH IS, UH, FROM MY NECK OF THE WOODS AND RYLE AS A MATTER OF FACT, UH, AND THOSE ARE THE NAMES THAT YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE. NOW I'M GOING TO SCROLL DOWN FURTHER. IF YOU THINK OF ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO INTERRUPT ME. THIS GROUP HAS ACCOMPLISHED MANY EVENTS. THEIR BIGGEST CONTRIBUTION TO THIS TOWN WAS THE CREATION OF THE FIRST LIBRARY. WHICH I BELIEVE WAS STARTED IN. AND I I'M SORRY. I HAVE THE DETAILS HERE FOR YOU, BUT, UH, I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATE IN FRONT OF ME, UH, PROBABLY STARTED AROUND 1916 AS I RECALL, PENAL IF YOU WOULD GO TO PAGE 39 ON PAGE 39. YOU SEE THE LIST OF SOME OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WERE DESIGNED BY THIS FAMOUS ARCHITECT, UH, FROM BROWARD COUNTY, WHOM YOU PROBABLY NEVER HEARD OF. MR GEORGE. ROBERT JELKA, PLEASE NOTICE THAT I HIGHLIGHTED SEWELL'S POINT TOWN HALL. SO HE DESIGNED THAT AFTER HE DESIGNED THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE HERE TODAY FOR DESIGNATION HE UNDERNEATH THAT YOU'LL SEE THE LAS OLAS HOSPITAL. YOU WILL SEE THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN DEERFIELD BEACH. YOU WILL SEE CHURCH BY THE SEA ON MAYAN DRIVE IN DEERFIELD BEACH. THE WAY HE WAS HIRED TO DO. THE DESIGN FOR THIS BUILDING WAS THAT HE DESIGNED THE DEERFIELD BEACH WOMEN'S CLUB THE YEAR PRIOR IN 1956. TO DESIGNING THE CLUBHOUSE , SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN A NETWORK SITUATION WHERE ONE PERSON TOLD ANOTHER AND THEY HIRED MR JALA.

LET ME MOVE ON. WE HAVEN'T WE HAVE ALL THE ITEMS THAT YOU ALL NEED TO LOOK AT INTEGRITY OF LOCATION, INTEGRITY OF THE SETTING. I'M GONNA SPEAK OVER THE TRAIN INTEGRITY OF DESIGN.

WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED ALL OF THOSE INTEGRITY OF MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP. I'M JUST MOVING THROUGH AN INTEGRITY OF ASSOCIATION. NOW, IF YOU COULD GO TO THE PHOTOGRAPHS, STARTING WITH PAGE 44. AND ALL THIS IS ALWAYS BEST. IT'S CERTAINLY A LOT MORE INTERESTING FOR YOU TO LOOK AT A PHOTOGRAPH. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN ORIGINAL SIGN. BUT THIS GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU CAN SEE FROM THE STREET BECAUSE FROM THE STREET QUITE FRANKLY, YOU CAN'T SEE MUCH OF THE BUILDING BECAUSE THEY THEY'VE GOT DONE SUCH A GORGEOUS JOB OF HONORING DOCTOR MENINGER S GARDEN, AND IT'S VERY LUSH WITH VEGETATION. SO THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE FROM THE STREET. THE NEXT PICTURE. IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT PAGE, I'M GONNA GO PAGE BY PAGE. BANAL IS THE ONE OF THE PICTURES THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET OF THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION. YOU NOTICE THAT THE RED TILE ROOF IS ON THERE YET THEY JUST HAVE THE TAR PAPER ON THERE. NI UH, 1958. AND IF YOU GO TO THE BUILDING RIGHT THERE, THE SECOND PHOTOGRAPH ON THERE. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE FRONT DOORS. WHICH ARE THE MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON THERE, BOTH IN THE DOORS AND THE SURROUND AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE AWNING WINDOWS, WHICH ARE NO LONGER AWNING WINDOWS OR SINGLE HUNG WINDOWS. BOTH ON TWO SIDES, AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NO ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE OTHER TWO SIDES OF THE BUILDING. BUT FROM ALL INDICATIONS. THOSE WEREN'T CHANGED EITHER. PLEASE ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT THE LETTERING. MY REVIEW INDICATES THAT THE LETTERING IS ORIGINAL, THOSE LETTERS, WOMEN'S CLUB AND WHAT'S UNDERNEATH. ARE ORIGINALLY MADE OUT OF WOOD. IF YOU STAND IN FRONT OF THEM, AS I DID, THEY'RE STILL THERE. SAME ORIGINAL LETTERING, WHICH IS WHICH IS QUITE INTERESTING. THE LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED, AND THE COLUMNS JUST HAVE BEEN PAINTED FROM WHITE TO BLACK AND THE PORCH HAS BEEN PAINTED A COUPLE OF TIMES, WHICH WE WILL SEE IT IS NOW ON THE ON THE GRAYISH TONE. ALL OF THE RECLAIMED BRICK IS STILL THE SAME. THE PLANTERS ARE STILL THE SAME. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE HERE IS THEY DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO PUT THE RED TILE ROOF WHEN THEY BUILT IT. THEY RAISED THE MONEY IN THE FIRST YEAR, AND THEY GOT THE RED TILE ROO. PUT ON WHICH YOU AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN AND THEN THE RED TILE ROOF SWITCHED OVER TO SHINGLES.

AND NOW IN THE RECENT YEARS, IT'S NOW THE STANDING SEAM ROOF. I BELIEVE IT'S STANDING SEAM, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY METAL. IT MIGHT BE FIVE V CRIMP. BUT AGAIN ALL OF THAT IS INDICATED HERE IN THE REPORT, SO JUST MOVE THROUGH THE, UM PHOTOGRAPHS. UH, PENAL. IF YOU'LL GO TO NUMBER 48, THEY CAN GET A CLOSER LOOK AT THE LETTERING. PAGE 48. THANK YOU, UH, YOU SEE THE LETTERING THERE STILL EXACTLY THE SAME. THOSE ARE AWNING WINDOWS. OF COURSE, THEY'VE BEEN CHANGED OUT. AND

[00:20:01]

WE'LL JUST KEEP MOVING THROUGH THE PHOTOGRAPHS. I'LL TE I'LL TELL YOU, WHICH PHOTOGRAPH TO GO TO NEXT. JUST KEEP SCROLLING DOWN, PAL. OH, IF YOU'LL GO TO, UM PHOTOGRAPH ON PAGE 50. PLEASE NOTICE THAT THE CLUB DECIDED TO PAINT THE PORCH RED. AND AT THAT TIME THE, UH COLUMNS. THE WROUGHT IRON COLUMNS WERE ALSO PAINTED BLACK, SO THOSE WERE PROBABLY THE FIRST CHANGES THAT TOOK PLACE. AND I WAS LUCKY TO GET THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS. I BELIEVE THOSE WERE FROM THE NINETIES 1996. SO WE'RE MOVING AND WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. AND THEN IF YOU'LL MOVE TO F, UH, PHOTOGRAPH ON PAGE 51. YES, PLEASE NOTICE THAT THE DOORS APPEAR NOT TO HAVE ANY LIGHTS IN THEM. IT'S VERY HARD TO TELL, BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE SOLID DOORS. THEY KEPT THE LIGHTS IN THE SURROUND.

BUT THEY CHANGED OUT THE DOORS, SO THAT'S ANOTHER CHANGE THAT TOOK PLACE. BUT THESE ARE ARE ARE MINIMAL CHANGES NOW IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS ON PAGE 52. THE ORIGINAL FRENCH DOORS THAT ARE STILL FRENCH DOORS BUT HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE ORIGINAL FRENCH DOORS HAD JEALOUSY GLASS IN THEM. THOSE OF YOU AGAIN, WHO GREW FLORIDA ARE FAMILIAR WITH JEALOUSY. GLASS ALSO THE TRANSOMS IF YOU LOOK MOSTLY WHAT? YOU'D HAVE TO BLOW IT UP.

THERE ARE JEALOUSIES IN THE TRANSOMS ABOVE. THIS WAS ALL DONE NATURALLY FOR VENTILATION BECAUSE THEY HAD NO AIR CONDITIONING. SO THAT WAS CHANGED OUT. BUT ALL IN ALL THE BUILDING REMAINS. AS A ORIGINAL, EXCEPT FOR THOSE FEATURES. I. I CAN. UM I CAN GO IN DEPTH YOU SAW THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF PAGES IN THIS REPORT. AND THE LADIES WISH TO SPEAK WITH YOU. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HERE TO ANSWER THEM. THIS BUILDING IS CERTAINLY WORTHY OF THE DESIGNATION. WE INVITED MR RICK GONZALEZ, WHO I BELIEVE IS CURRENTLY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL REGISTER REVIEW BOARD. IN TALLAHASSEE. ACTUALLY, HIS ARCHITECTURAL FIRM IS IN PALM BEACH. HE CAME AND VISITED. AND HE SAID THAT THIS BUILDING IS WORTHY OF NOMINATION TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER. SO I FEEL THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD SOURCE. SO I'M HOPING THAT THE GROUP WILL MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JULIE. I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. FRANK, DO YOU HAVE ANY DO YOU WANT TO JUST STAY THERE IN CASE THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP JUMPING UP? FRANK, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS PRIEST? SO IT WAS BUILT IN 1958 REMODELED IN 1971. KUDOS FOR KEEPING THE TERRAZZO AND YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL LETTERING. 1970 CALLED.

IT'S CALLED. IT'S CALLED MID CENTURY MODERN. YES, MHM. WHAT? AND WHAT DO WE MEAN BY INTEGRITY OF DESIGN? THAT THE BUILDING HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED. THAT IT IS IT IS A IT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF MID CENTURY IF YOU GO OUT TO PALM SPRINGS. THEIR BUILDINGS WILL LOOK SIMILAR TO THIS. MOST OF THEM WILL NOT HAVE AND I CHECKED WITH RICK GONZALES. MOST OF THEM WILL NOT HAVE GABLE ROOFS. THEY WILL HAVE FLAT ROOFS ON A SLANT. UM BUT THIS ONE DOES HAVE A GABLE GROUP. OH I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS SPECIAL FEATURES HERE OF THIS BUILDING. IT'S GOT FLYING GABLES. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THOSE UNTIL I STARTED DOING THE RESEARCH FOR THIS BUILDING. UH THE GABLE AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING OVER THE LETTERING OF THE WOMEN'S CLUB JETS OUT TO A POINT. THE OVERHANG JETS OUT TO A POINT ABOUT 60 INCHES. SAME THING OCCURS IN THE BACK THAT OVERLOOKS THE PARKING LOT. AND THEN THE KITCHEN SECTION ALSO HAS ANOTHER FLYING GABLE. SO THREE FLYING GABLES VERY DISTINGUISHING FEATURES THAT YOU DON'T SEE EVERYWHERE. YOU KNOW, I YOU HAVE ONE AT YOUR HOUSE. I THINK THE FLYING GABLES IS, UH, IS A LEGITIMATE TERM. YES IT IS. I HAD TO LOOK IT UP OCCASIONALLY GO FLYING. MORE THAN OCCASIONALLY, I WELL, I HAVE WILL I GET MORE COMMENTS LATER? UH YOU SHOULD ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OF MS PRIEST. OK, THANK YOU. I'M GOOD. OK, NOTHING FOR ME. NOTHING. NOW. SORRY. I JUST HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS ONE. THE ORIGINAL WOMAN'S CLUB WAS BUILT IN AND WAS WHERE THE UM AZUL APARTMENT SAYS, RIGHT? ISN'T THAT THE ORIGINAL ONE? RIGHT. OK, UM AND I KNOW THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, TORN DOWN, ULTIMATELY, AS A RESULT OF THE HURRICANE DESTROYED IT IS THERE. IS THERE ANY, UM, INTENT ON ON YOUR PART TO PUT SOME PLAQUE OR INFORMATION IN THE IN THIS BUILDING, TYING BACK TO THE OTHER BUILDING THAT WAS THERE BECAUSE IT HAD SOME HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE AS WELL. THE TEXT THAT YOU WILL BE APPROVING AS A BOARD TO PUT ON THE MARKER TALKS ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BUILDING BEING DESTROYED. IT WAS ACTUALLY THE ORIGINAL LIBRARY THAT THE HAD STARTED BACK THEN, SO IT IT IS MENTIONED IN THE TEXT FOR THE

[00:25:02]

MARKER. OF IF YOU WANT SOMETHING MORE THEN, OF COURSE, THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I MENTIONED IS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I, I WE DID THOSE SAILFISH MARKERS, RIGHT? AND SO I'VE I GOT ONE OF THOSE SAILFISH MARKERS, BUT AND ON IT, I RAN OUT OF SPACE TO BE ABLE TO PUT ANYTHING ABOUT THE WOMEN'S CLUB BECAUSE IT WAS ACROSS THE STREET. WE HAD TO TAKE THAT OFF AND I. I DON'T KNOW IF IT GOT MOVED OR NOT, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE YOU KNOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I THINK IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU GUYS CAN DO. THE OTHER THING THAT I WAS WONDERING ABOUT IS, UM WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY MEAN? I KNOW THIS IS A MORE SPECIFIC DESIGNATION, THEN. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A HISTORIC DESIGNATION WITHIN STEWART THAT REALLY JUST HAS TO DO WITH AGE. BUT WHAT CAN THEY OR CAN'T THEY DO WITH THIS BUILDING? ONCE THIS DESIGNATION HAS BEEN THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THEY WANT. WE HAVE NO REGULATIONS. THEY CAN DEMOLISH THE BUILDING EVEN IF THEY WANT. THE SAME THING APPLIES TO ANYTHING THAT'S ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES HERE IN MARTIN COUNTY, SO WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING THAT HAMPERS THE PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL. WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS COME BEFORE YOU IF THEY DO WANT TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS, IF THEY DO WANT TO DEMOLISH, AND YOU CAN GIVE THEM YOUR OPINION AS TO THAT, BUT THAT'S THE MOST YOU CAN DO. THERE'S NO WAY OF STOPPING THE CHANGES OR DESTRUCTION TO A BUILDING. OK ALL RIGHTFULLY, BUT UP NORTH, SOME NEIGHBORHOODS. THAT THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE RAISED UP NORTH MIGHT KNOW THAT THEY DO HAVE STRONGER RAINS ON THEIR HISTORIC BUILDINGS. BUT WE DO NOT HAVE THAT HERE. OK, THANK YOU. AARON DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO. NOTHING FOR ME. OK, UM I JUST I JUST BECAUSE I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT THE LADY I JUST I JUST WANT TO SAY, JULIE THAT THIS IS PRETTY INTERESTING BUILDING UNIT OF ITSELF. AND IT SEE A LOT OF HISTORY. IT'S A LOT OF HISTORY. IT SAW ME IN A FASHION SHOW THERE. OH, MY GOSH. I WAS WITH. I WAS WITH COMMISSIONER CLARKE. SHE RAN OUT. BUT YES, WE WERE AT A FASHION SHOW TOGETHER THERE. I'D RUN OUT IF I WAS IN A FASHION SHOW WITH YOU, TOO. SO UH, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS OTHER THINGS AND I JUST WANNA SAY IT'S A REALLY UNIQUE BUILDING ALL ITS OWN. AND TRY GETTING ABOUT 10. SIX YEAR OLD DRESSED IN A FOR A FASHION SHOW IN THE BATHROOM. SO ANYWAYS, II. I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING, AND I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE AND IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THIS PRIEST. YES. EXCUSE ME ONE SECOND. IN THE IN THE, UM TEXT.

YOU ALSO SAW PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE MURAL. THAT IS ON THE SOUTH WALL CREATED BY M POSTELL. UH, AN ACCOMPLISHED ARTIST. THEY HAVE PROTECTED THAT AND THEY ALSO HAVE SOME OTHER INDIVIDUAL PAINTINGS IN THEIR BOARD ROOM. AND SO THAT'S ALSO THAT'S AN INTERIOR FEATURE. UM WHEN YOU'RE DESIGNATING BUILDINGS FOR THE MOST PART THIS AND ALSO THE NATIONAL REGISTER. THEY DON'T DO SO MUCH WITH THE INTERIOR IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN THAT SHELL AND THE EXTERIOR, BUT THE LADIES HAVE MANAGED THROUGH ALL THE YEARS AND ALL THOSE THOUSANDS OF FEET THAT HAVE WALKED ON THAT TERRAZZO, WHICH IS AMAZING, BECAUSE THE TERRAZZO LOOKS GORGEOUS TO ME. UH IT'S IN GREAT SHAPE. UH THEY HAVE MANAGED TO PROTECT THE INTERIOR DO DOORS. THEY HAVE MADE JUST ONE MINIMAL MODIFICATION TO THE INTERIOR, WHERE THEY ADDED A PANTRY IN BUT OTHERWISE THE FOOTPRINT OF PRINT OF THE INTERIOR IS STILL ORIGINAL. THEY HAVE PRESERVED EVERYTHING. THEY'VE DONE A MARVELOUS JOB FOR THIS COMMUNITY , NOT TO MENTION THE COMMUNITY SERVICE. THAT BUILDING WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT BECAUSE OUR REC CENTER WHICH, UH, WAS SERVING OUR MILITARY AT THE TIME WHEN IT WAS BUILT, UM WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THE EVENTS THAT WERE HAPPENING IN THIS SMALL COMMUNITY AT THE TIME, SO THEY NEEDED TO BUILD WHAT THEY CALL ANOTHER AUDITORIUM, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL THIS BUILDING IN THE EARLY ARTICLES, ANOTHER AUDITORIUM, SO IT HAS SERVED THIS COMMUNITY TREMENDOUSLY, AND THERE IS NO WAY I COULD LIST ALL OF THE EVENTS THAT WERE HELD THERE, INCLUDING THE FASHION SHOW. UH, BUT WHEN THESE LADIES DO GO TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER, THEY MAY WANT TO DO THAT, BECAUSE ALL OF THAT SIGNIFICANCE THE SERVICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU. UH, FRANK, DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR THIS? PRESIDENT IT.

IT'S EITHER FOR JULIE OR OR PANEL. UH, WHAT IS THE BENEFIT? HOW DOES THE WOMEN'S CLUB BENEFIT FROM THIS DESIGNATION? BUT START. IT'S THE IT'S JUST AN HONOR. THERE IS NO NOTHING ELSE THAT GOES WITH IT. IT'S THE HONOR IF THEY GO TO THE AND, AND ACTUALLY, EVEN NOW, THEY COULD IF THEY WANT TO UPGRADE SOMETHING THEY COULD GO FOR A GRANT. FOR THIS, UH, SPECIAL

[00:30:06]

GRANTS THAT THEY HAVE IN TALLAHASSEE, RIGHT ONLY SPECIFICALLY IF THEY HAVE THE DE DESIGNATION, SO HAVING THE DESIGNATION OPENS UP OPENS UP A BUNCH OF GRAMS APPLICATION. THIS BOX GETS TO ANSWER MY QUESTION. THANK YOU. ALSO THEY GET CITY TAX EXEMPTION FOR ANY OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT THEY MAKE NO, RIGHT. OK SO YEAH, THAT DOESN'T APPLY THEN. SO THERE ARE BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAM IS THAT YOU DO GET TAX EXEMPT TAX CREDITS AND TAX CREDIT. THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU ADD TO THE PROPERTY. THANK YOU. NOW WHO ELSE WAS SWORN IN? OK IF YOU WANT TO GIVE MORE PRESENT AMONG THE OTHER PRESENTATION, PLEASE. MY NAME IS CECILIA LEWIS. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE WOMEN'S COLLEGE. AND A COUPLE OF THINGS I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT.

BECAUSE IT IS TRUE THAT WE STARTED IN 1913. OUR CLUB STARTED HERE IN STUART. IT WAS A DIFFERENT BUILDING. HOWEVER THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE WOMEN'S CLUB AND STUART GOES BACK ALMOST THAT FAR SINCE THE INFORMATION THAT I FOUND SAID THAT THE CITY OF STUART WAS INCORPORATED ON MAY 14TH 1914 IN THE WOMEN'S CLUB BUILDING. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING AND ALSO, I FOUND OUT THAT, UH THE WOMEN'S CLUB JOINED THE PETITION FOR A COUNTY DIVISION. AND MARTIN COUNTY WAS FORMED IN 1925. SO THERE IS A LONG AND WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE WOMEN'S CLUB AND THE CITY. AND AS WAS POINTED OUT BEFORE IT WOULD BE AN HONOR. TO HAVE THE CITY DESIGNATION SO THAT THEN WE CAN PROCEED. OR NATIONAL SO I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK PEOPLE. I COULD DO THAT. PLEASE. UM I'D LIKE TO THANK OUR TWO PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS WHO ARE HERE. JOE BAXTER AND SHARON MASON, WHO STARTED THIS WHOLE PROCESS AND, OF COURSE, WITH THE DOCUMENT IN FRONT OF YOU. JULIE PRIEST HAS AS A VOLUNTEER HAS DONE SO MUCH. TO GET US INTO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT HERE WITH YOU. AND UM, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK HER IN FRONT OF EVERYONE HERE AND WOULD LIKE TO READ THAT, UM, WE'D LIKE TO GIVE HER AN HONORARY MEMBERSHIP TO OUR CLUB. AND APPRECIATION FOR HER TIME EFFORT AND DEDICATION AS A VOLUNTEER HISTORIAN. SO I'D LIKE TO GET THAT TOGETHER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR PELL OR THE APPLICANT? SEEING NOTHING WITH CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND IT COMES BACK TO IT COMES BACK TO US. AND WE'LL HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. I HAVE NO CARD. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING I DO? DOES ANYONE WANT TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT? YOU HAVE NOW YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT A CARD. WELL, NO, YOU CAN SPEAK AND THEN YOU COULD FILL OUT A CARD LATER. UH, YES, I DID NOTICE THAT THERE IS A CITY OF STUART HISTORICAL TOUR.

PAMPHLET. AND I JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW OFTEN THAT GETS PRINTED. AND IF ALL GOES WELL, I'M GOING TO SAY YOU SHOULD SPEAK TO NOW AFTERWARDS, OK, GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. IT'S BACK TO US FOR DISCUSSION, THEN. I'LL TAKE ANY DISCUSSION OR I'LL TAKE A MOTION. SO MOVED. NO MOTION TO APPROVE THE DESIGNATION MOTION TO APPROVE BY MARK DO I GET A SECOND? NO DISCUSSION. SECOND THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR. THINKING YOU, MIKE. WISHING TO OK WE HAVE A MOTION. BY MARK WE HAVE A SECOND BY ANDY AND WE HAVE DISCUSSION DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO YOU WANNA DISCUSS? WHEN WE COMPARE THIS BUILDING TO TWO OTHER PREVIOUS HISTORICAL DESIGNATIONS IN THE CITY OF STUART. THERE'S JUST NO COMPARISON. UM. I I'M WONDERING IS THIS HISTORICAL DESIGNATION? WHAT IS IT ABOUT? I THOUGHT IT WAS MOSTLY ABOUT ARCHITECTURE AND THE WAY BUILDINGS LOOK HISTORIC FROM THE STREET. AND, UM THE SAME BUILDING BEING USED SINCE YOU KNOW. I DON'T KNOW THE FOOD STORE. WHEN WAS THAT BUILT IN THE IN THE TWENTIES OR THE

[00:35:05]

TENS. I BELIEVE IN 1984. SO MY POINT MY POINT SO THIS HOUSE. AND YOU CAN PUT A TITLE ON IT.

MID CENTURY MODERN. THIS THIS BUILDING JUST RESEMBLES HALF THE HOUSES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THERE'S NOTHING SPECTACULAR ABOUT IT FROM A HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE, POINT OF VIEW AND MY POINT OF VIEW BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY IF WE DESIGNATE THIS THEN. WE OPEN THE FLOODGATES FOR EVERYBODY AND AS FAR AS AND IF IT'S GONNA BE ABOUT AND NO ONE'S ARGUING THE BENEFITS TO THE ECONOMY AND THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE WOMEN'S CLUB FOR THE COMMUNITY. BUT I'M WONDERING, LET'S SAY LET'S SAY MY HOUSE, WHICH WAS BUILT IN 1957, LET'S JUST SAY SOME HISTORICAL FIGURES LIVED THERE FOR 20 YEARS. OK, CHECK. I'M GOOD. SO THIS. THIS OPENS A DOOR. I THINK IT CHEAPENS. IT CHEAPENS THE OTHER TWO. AS FAR AS THE DESIGNATIONS IF WE'RE GOING TO START DESIGNATING EVERYTHING BUILT AFTER 1955 AS HISTORIC UH, WHERE'S THE YOU KNOW WHERE'S WHERE'S THE MEAT ON THE BONES? AS FAR AS YOU KNOW THE REAL HISTORICAL BUILDINGS AND IN OUR IN OUR IN OUR CITY, SO NO, THIS IS, UH THIS DOESN'T CHECK THE BOXES AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.

THANK YOU. NOW, COULD YOU GO THROUGH WHY THIS IS THE HISTORIC BUILDING AS FAR AS WHAT THE REGULATION IS AND WHAT WELL, IT IS. IT DOES HAVE TO. WE DO HAVE TO LOOK AT THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDING. BUT IT'S A VOLUNTARY PROGRAM. SO IT'S JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS HISTORIC DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE GOING TO DESIGNATE IT AND GIVE A DESIGNATION OF LOCAL HISTORIC REGISTER LISTING PEOPLE THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS TO COME FORWARD AND HAS TO SUBMIT A PETITION AND IT'S A VOLUNTARY PROGRAM. SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WOULD MAKE SOMEBODY DO AND ADD ON THE LOCAL REGISTER LISTING. SO IF WE RECOMMEND IT, AND THEN THE IS THERE ANOTHER LIKE HISTORICAL SOCIETY THAT APPROVES OR DENIES THEIR REQUEST. IS THAT HOW IT WORKS? RIGHT? SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE COMING BEFORE YOU TO LIST THIS ON THE LOCAL REGISTER AND AS FAR AS THAT, UH UM, ORGANIZATION HOW MUCH WEIGHT IS PUT INTO HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE AND THE UNIQUENESS OF THE HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE AS COMPARED TO OF THE HOUSE IS BUILT IN THE FIFTIES. I WOULD DEFER. IS THERE A LOT OF WEIGHT THERE OR NO, I DON'T. I CAN'T REALLY I THE ARCHITECTURE UH, FOR THE RECORD, CITY ATTORNEY LEE BAGGOTT, UM SO IN SECTION 5.09 0.01 0.8. 0.4 SECTION OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. IT GIVES THE CRITERIA AND IT LISTS.

LOOKS LIKE SIX. I CAN SIT HERE. I CAN READ THROUGH THEM. I DON'T KNOW. THAT'D BE GOOD IF THEY WERE IN THE PACKET OR NOT, BUT THEY WERE OK. CLIFF NOTES OF THE SIX BE FINE. UM SO I I'LL I'LL READ. FOLLOW ALONG IF YOU NEED ME TO STOP AND REPEAT. LET ME KNOW. UM OK, SO IT SAYS, SUBSECTION A CRITERIA. AND THE BOARD SHALL ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF DESIGNATION TO DESIGNATE HISTORIC SITES. DISTRICTS. PLACES BUILDINGS. STRUCTURES. LANDSCAPE FEATURES, ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS OR OTHER PHYSICAL FEATURES. THAT AND THEN IT LISTS THE SIX UM, ONE IS OUR SIGNIFICANT IN THE CITY OF STUART'S HISTORY. ARCHITECTURE COMMA, ARCHAEOLOGY OR CULTURE. AND POSSESS AN INTEGRITY OF LOCATION. DESIGN. SETTING MATERIALS. WORKMANSHIP OR ASSOCIATION. AND THEN IT'S OR SO EACH OF THESE FACTORS. IT'S NOT YOU DON'T HAVE TO ALL BE THERE. IT'S JUST 11 OR MORE OF THESE FACTORS. NUMBER TWO UH, ARE ASSOCIATED WITH DISTINCTIVE ELEMENTS OF THE CULTURAL, SOCIAL. POLITICAL ECONOMIC SCIENTIFIC PREHISTORIC AND ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE PATTERN OF HISTORY IN THE CITY OF STUART, SOUTH FLORIDA, THE NATION. OR NUMBER THREE.

OR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S PAST. OR FOR EMBODY THE DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTIC OF A TYPE. PERIOD STYLE OR 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. OR NUMBER FIVE. HAVE YIELDED OR ARE LIKELY TO YIELD INFORMATION IN HISTORY OR PREHISTORY. OR SIX ARE LISTED IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. OK THANK YOU. UM SO IT CHECKS ENOUGH BOXES OTHER THAN ARCHITECTURE. SO I HAVE DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? I. I JUST HAVE A COMMENT REGARDING THE SAME THING. AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT, FRANK A LITTLE BIT, BUT, YOU KNOW, UM AND HAVING GONE BACK AND DONE SOME LOOKED AT SOME OF THESE THINGS MYSELF. THE PROBLEM WITH STEWART IS THAT FIRST OF ALL, WE DON'T HAVE A SET ARCHITECTURE SOMETIMES. I MEAN, IT'S OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS AND SOMETIMES ANY HISTORY OF THAT HAS BEEN ELIMINATED ALREADY, JUST BECAUSE IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WAS STRIKINGLY SIGNIFICANT FROM AN ARCHITECTURAL STANDPOINT, BUT MAYBE HAD A HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OR WHATEVER. SO IT'S THE PROBLEM THAT I THINK WE HAVE IN STEWART A LITTLE BIT IS THAT YOU KNOW IF YOU GO UP NORTH, THERE'S BUILDINGS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, 250 YEARS OLD AND HERE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE 1914 . SO UM, I THINK THAT'S THE ONE THING AND I THINK THE OTHER THING TOO, IS THAT I THINK THAT ALL WE'RE DOING IS BASICALLY GIVING A DESIGNATION THAT MAY MEANS THAT IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO TEAR THAT BUILDING DOWN WE HAVE A WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOMEBODY SAVE IT IF THEY WANT TO, RIGHT WHEN YOU GO TO THE FEDERAL REGISTRY, THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT SCENARIO. BUT WITH OUR DESIGNATION BASICALLY ALL IT REALLY IN MY OPINION, ALL IT IS A SECOND LOOK AT ABILITY TO SAY, HEY, WAIT. LET'S NOT TEAR THIS DOWN AND LET'S GIVE SOMEBODY A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT. I'M I'M GONNA SAY VERY SIMILAR TO YOU, MARK. WE ACTUALLY JUST RECOGNIZING THE HISTORY OF NOT SO MUCH THE BUILDING. BUT OF THE WOMEN'S CLUB AND WHAT IT HAS MEANT. TO THE CITY OF STUART AND TO MARTIN COUNTY. INCIDENT IF IT IN ANY WAY HAD STOPPED THE WOMEN'S CLUB AS THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING FROM FROM TEARING IT DOWN OR CHANGING IT. I WOULD DEFINITELY VOTE AGAINST IT. I WOULD VOTE IT ALWAYS VOTE AGAINST IT. I COME FROM A PLACE WHERE I'VE SEEN REAL DANGER DONE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. SO PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, AND I THINK IT JUST MEANS THAT WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE WOMEN'S CLUB IN THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING, WHICH IS YOUNGER THAN ME, UH, IS SOMETHING THAT MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T PRESERVE AS A COMMUNITY. BUT IF THE WOMEN'S CLUB FEELS IT'S IMPORTANT I THINK WE SHOULD SAY TO THE WOMEN'S CLUB. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE COMMISSIONER CLARK AND I GOT DRESSED UP IN OUR FANCY CLOTHES AND DID A FASHION SHOW THERE. SO THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YEAH, I, I WAS GONNA SAY I. I THINK WHAT COMPELS ME IS THAT THE ENTIRETY OF THE CIRCUMSTANCE MARK THAT YOU TOUCHED ON. I THINK IT'S THE HISTORY. IT'S THE ARCHITECTURE THAT YOU ADDRESSED. IT'S NOT ONE THING, AND I THINK WHEN YOU WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE, UH, THE ENTIRETY OF THE HISTORY OF WHAT THIS ORGANIZATION AND THIS BUILDING IS MEANT TO THE COMMUNITY. I THINK IT KIND OF COMPELS ME THAT THERE IS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. AND, UH, YEAH, I'M I'M VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF IT. YOU WANT TO ANSWER JUST SO I KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SUE ANYTHING SO I CAN SO NOW I CAN ASSUME THAT THEY'RE IN THIS NATIONAL REGISTRY. THERE ARE MANY HOUSES THAT ARE BUILT IN THE FIFTIES ON THIS RED IN THIS REGISTRY, MANY BUILDINGS BUILT IN THE FIFTIES. DEPENDS ON THE AREA. I. I BELIEVE THEY PROBABLY ARE. JULIE YOU WANNA ADD TO THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT SHOCKING. BUT THERE ARE EVEN BUILDINGS ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER THAT LOOK LIKE THEY'RE READY TO FALL DOWN. THEY LOOK LIKE SHACKS. THEY WERE ORIGINALLY PROBABLY AFRICAN AMERICAN SCHOOL BUILDINGS FROM THE PERIOD OF SEGREGATION. AND SO IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT ARCHITECTURE OR AGE. IT. IT'S NOT JUST AGE. IT'S WHAT DOES THE STRUCTURE THAT SITE THAT LOCATION REPRESENT? THEY FROWN ON BUILDINGS THAT HAVE BEEN MOVED. UH, THEY FROWN ON BUILDINGS THAT HAVE BEEN REBUILT. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I JUST WORKED ON THE 1934 SALERNO COLORED SCHOOL. THAT WAS THE NAME OF IT DOWN ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE MURRAY SCHOOL

[00:45:02]

THAT WE HAVE NOW AND IT WAS DECLINED. THAT WAS MY PROJECT. PREVIOUS TO THIS. IT WAS DECLINED BY THE NATIONAL REGISTER REVIEW COMMITTEE. UH BECAUSE THEY SAID IT HAD BEEN ALMOST TOTALLY RECONSTRUCTED, WHICH IS NOT A LIE. MARTIN COUNTY CAME IN. AND ESSENTIALLY THE ONLY THINGS THAT ARE ORIGINAL ARE THE FLOOR CHOICE AND, UH, I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT ELSE ONE WALL UH, THE THREE THE THREE INTERIOR WALLS. THANK YOU. ERIN ERIN WAS INVOLVED WITH MARTIN COUNTY BLACK HERITAGE INITIATIVES THAT LOOKED AT THAT SO AND THEY HAD ACTUALLY MOVED THAT BUILDING BECAUSE THEY CONSIDERED IT A PORTABLE THE SCHOOL BOARD AT THE TIME. SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS THIS HAS A LOT OF INTEGRITY, BOTH IN THE SOCIAL ASPECT OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ALL THE CITIZENS ALL THOSE FEET THAT HAVE GONE ON THAT TERRAZZO FLOOR AND ALL THE MEETINGS THAT WERE HELD THERE ALL THE NAMES THAT I MENTIONED FROM THE EARLY PAGE. MISS FRASIER IS TOTALLY ASSOCIATED HERE WITH THE CITY OF STUART SAM MATTHEWS. SO WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ARCHITECTURE. WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING THE BUILDING HOW IT LOOKS. IS IT A IS IT ART DECK OR SOMETHING THAT WE KIND OF REALLY LIKE? AND YES, THERE ARE TOTAL. THERE ARE HOMES PROBABLY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT STILL HAVE THEIR JEALOUSY WINDOWS. I AGREE WITH YOU, BUT THOSE OWNERS CAN COME BEFORE THIS GROUP AND SAY, I'D LIKE TO PUT IT ON THE STUART HISTORIC REGISTER. THEN YOU CAN LOOK AT IT, AND YOU CAN DECI DECIDE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WHEN THEY SELL THAT HOME, THE NEXT PERSON'S PROBABLY GONNA KNOCK IT DOWN AND PUT A TWO STORY MCMANSION ON THERE, WHICH IS WHAT'S HAPPENING A LOT, SO IT'S A MATTER OF JUST REGISTERING THE HISTORY OF OCCURRED ON THAT SITE. AND WHAT WAS THERE? THANK YOU, JULIE. YOU KNOW WHAT, FRANK? I'M GONNA CALL THE VOTE. REMEMBER OR VICE CHAIR, BRECK BILL. YES. BOARD MEMBER HAWKINS. YES PENNY YES, BOARD MEMBER MCCHRYSTAL, NO BOARD MEMBER, MOSER AND BOARD MEMBER NOBLE. YES, IT PASSES. 51 YOU ARE OFFICIAL. THANK YOU. OK? MOVING ON.

IF YOU COULD ADJOURN THIS CHAIR CAMPAIGN HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD IS ADJOURNED AND I'M RECONVENING. THE, UH CRB. TOM, DON'T YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING. HEY, JULIE. JULIE. I WANTED TO JUST MENTION THAT BEFORE YOU GOT OUT SINCE THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST TIME YOU MAKE A PRESENTATION LIKE THIS. HOW MUCH YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE AND I KNOW ALL OTHERS IN THE IN IN THE CITY. APPRECIATE ALL OF THE THINGS YOU'VE DONE TO MAKE STUART BETTER PRESERVE ITS HISTORY AND ALL OF THE DEDICATION THAT YOU'VE PUT IN THAT AND I. I REALLY THINK THAT'S A GREAT THING. AND I'M I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA LEAVE COMPLETELY. BUT I HATE TO SEE THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE SPEARHEADING SOME OF THESE EFFORTS ANYMORE. BUT YOU'VE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB. SO I MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE TO THOSE THAT WILL AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT ACKNOWLEDGMENT. THANK YOU. OK? NEXT UH, NEXT, UH, ITEM IS ITEM

SEVEN. MINOR URBAN CODE. CONDITIONAL USE MURALS ON BUILDINGS IN THE DOWNTOWN PUBLIC SHOPPING CENTER, LOCATED AT 728 SOUTHWEST FEDERAL HIGHWAY RESOLUTION NUMBER 02 2024 CRB, A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT BOARD OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA, GRANTING A MINOR CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR THE FOR PUBLIC ARTWORK. MURAL NAMED ECOSYSTEM IN STEWART. PROPERTY LOCATED AT 728 SOUTHWEST FEDERAL HIGHWAY, AS DESCRIBED WITHIN THE ATTACHED LEGAL DESCRIPTION, GRANTING APPROVALS TO PAINT MURAL TO THE EXTERIOR WALLS OF A BUILDING, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, PROVIDING FOR CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES . I'LL JUST GIVE A BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THIS ITEM, WE HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR A MURAL ON THE DOWNTOWN PUB BUILDINGS. UM, AGAIN, AS YOU MENTIONED, UM THE BUREAUS WILL BE GOING ON THE EXTERIOR WALLS OF THE BUILDINGS OF THE PUBLIC'S BUILDING, AND THERE ARE OTHER BUILDINGS WITHIN THAT PLAZA. SO THEY'RE PROPOSING THREE DIFFERENT MURALS ON TWO DIFFERENT BUILDINGS. THE PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 728 SOUTHWEST FEDERAL HIGHWAY. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THERE'S A NICE BIG BLANK WALL ON THE PUBLIC'S BUILDING THAT IS CLEARLY VISIBLE AS YOU'RE DRIVING NORTH ON PALM CITY ROAD. UM THE APPLICANT HAS, UH, REQUESTED TO PAINT THIS MURAL THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE. THE ARTIST DAVID LEE IS PROPOSING TO HONOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CENTER, WHICH IS A YOU KNOW WHO WAS PAID, UH, PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND TOUCHED THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS. UM AND THEY'RE ALSO PROPOSING ANOTHER

[00:50:03]

TWO MURALS ON THE OTHER BUILDINGS OF THE SHOPPING CENTER FEATURING MANATEES, TURTLES AND OTHER SEA LIFE. AND THE ART COUNCIL DID REVIEW AND PROVIDE LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE ARTIST AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE MURAL. WHEN UH, NANCY TERRELL REVIEWED THE, UH THE MURAL. SHE DID MAKE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE LANGUAGE OF THE TEXT THAT WAS PROVIDED ON THE MURAL INITIALLY SAID CELEBRATING UH, CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF EDUCATION. UM SHE SAID THAT WOULD ONLY BE TRUE DURING THE YEAR THAT I WAS PAINTED, SO SHE DID RECOMMEND A CHANGE IN LANGUAGE IN WHICH THE ARTIST INCORPORATED AS PART OF THE REVISED RENDERING THAT WAS PROVIDED IN YOUR PACKAGE. UM, ADDITIONALLY, TYPICALLY, THE TAX IS CONSIDERED A WALL SIGN, AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO SUBMIT A SIGNED PERMIT FOR THAT, SO WE DID ADD A CONDITION OF APPROVAL IN THE RESOLUTION THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO OBTAIN A PERMIT OR SOME SORT OF SORT OF VARIANCE TO COMPLY WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE FOR THE FOR THE SIGN THIS PART OF THE MURAL. AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 02 2024 APPROVING THE PROPOSED BUREAU WITH CONDITIONS ATTACHED TO THE RESOLUTION. OK? YOU WANT. YOU WANNA GIVE US YOUR NAME AND WHO YOU ARE, AND, UM, STEVE DARBY.

I'M REPRESENTING BRICKS MORE THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR THE PLAZA. SO I WAS JUST SITTING HERE AS A REPRESENTATIVE TO SEE IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT IT. OK DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? FRANK YES, SIR. ARE THESE HAND PAINTED MIRRORS OR THESE, UH PLASTIC WRAPS. I BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO BE HAND PAINTED WITH THE WAY THAT IT THEY WERE DESIGNATING THE ARTIST FOR IT, SO THAT'S THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT. IT WAS IN THE PACKET, WASN'T IT? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR SEE NONE. YOU YOU CAN SIT DOWN, OK? HAS ANYONE IN WHAT IS THE WHAT IS THE LONGEVITY PROJECTED? WHEN THESE THINGS ARE PAINTED BEFORE THEY HAVE TO BE MAINTAINED, OR IS THERE MAINTENANCE INVOLVED IN MAINTAINING A PAINTING ONCE IT'S PUT UP? THAT I DO NOT HAVE THAT ANSWER. I'M SURE THEY'RE GONNA USE, YOU KNOW, QUALITY EXTERIOR PAINTS. UH SO YOU KNOW, I WOULD ASSUME YOU TO GET AT LEAST 10 YEARS OUT OF THEM. UH, WITH, YOU KNOW, THE WEATHER AND EVERYTHING AROUND HERE. UM, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE IF YOU, YOU KNOW, CONTACT THE ARTIST TO COME BACK OUT 10 YEARS FROM NOW TO TOUCH THEM UP OR WHETHER YOU WOULD JUST REPAINT OVER TOP OF THEM. OR I'M GONNA GET AN ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE AN ARTIST HERE. YOU WANNA JUST COME UP AND JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SPEAK IN THE MICROPHONE. AS AN ARTIST WHO WILL BE LATER. ASKING HI. MY NAME IS CHRISTOPHER VITALI. UM I'M THE ARTIST WHO PAINTED THE HOUSE OF REFUGE. MURAL, ON OSCEOLA STREET. UM, SO BASICALLY UH, THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN PROTECT AN EXTERIOR MURAL. UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE USE LIKE, UH, A CLEAR COATING THAT WILL GO OVER THE MURAL AFTER IT'S PAINTED, UM SOME OF THEM WILL HAVE LIKE A UV PROTECTION TO HELP FILTER OUT SOME OF THE SUN RAYS AND HELP PROTECT THE MURAL OVER TIME. UM THERE'S OTHER TYPES OF, UM, TREATMENTS THAT WOULD RESTORE THE ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE PAINT. I'VE NEVER USED THOSE MYSELF, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WELL THEY WORK.

BUT I'VE HEARD OF PEOPLE USING THOSE, UM YOU KIND OF SPRAY IT ON TO THE TO THE MURAL, AND IT HELPS TO KIND OF BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL VIBRANCE FROM WHEN IT WAS FIRST PAINTED, UH, BUT USUALLY THESE KIND OF CLEAR COATINGS ARE PRETTY EFFECTIVE. UM AND THEN THE OTHER TREATMENT.

I GUESS THE PEOPLE SOMETIMES DO IS JUST BRING THE ARTIST BACK TO KIND OF TOUCH UP WHICH I'VE DONE ON MY MURAL. UM SO, YEAH, THERE'S A COUPLE DIFFERENT OPTIONS, BUT IT'S NOT TERRIBLY ARE DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN. OK? SO. I'LL TAKE A MOTION. I'LL TAKE DISCUSSION. I'LL DO WHATEVER I WANT. UM, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE IT. WITH STAFF. CONDITIONS. I WANT TO DISCUSS THAT, BUT, UH, YES. WITH STAFF CONDITIONS. CAN I GET A SECOND? OK? SECOND MIAMI. OK? WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR DISCUSSIONS. LET ME JUST SAY BEFORE I FORGET. EARLIER TODAY, FORMER MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER MARY HUTCHINSON CALLED ME SHE IS ON THE BOARD OF THE CENTER, AND SHE SAID SHE COULD MAKE IT BUT SHE WANTED ME TO TELL THE BOARDS THAT SHE WAS VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THE MURAL.

GO AHEAD. OK THANKS. MY ONLY QUESTION IS FOR STAFF AND IT IS WHY WE ARE HAVING TO CHARGE A PERMIT FEE FOR A SIGN THAT'S OBVIOUSLY ASSOCIATED WITH, UM THIS MURAL APPROVAL. I MEAN, IF

[00:55:04]

WE APPROVE THE MURAL SHOULDN'T THAT INCLUDE THE SIGN THAT'S NECESSARY TO EXPLAIN IT AT NOT AN ADDITIONAL APPROVAL? NOT AN ADDITIONAL COST. I MEAN, IT SEEMS TO ADD ANOTHER STEP TO THE MURAL APPROVAL PROCESS THAT I'M NOT SURE. I WE REALLY NEED IT. WE'RE GOING TO GET THE BIG SHOT.

UM FIRST BECAUSE THE MIKE MIKE MTEL CITY MANAGER RESPONDING TO THE QUESTION, BUT THE ANSWER IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE CODE REQUIRES IT. UM, THE COMMISSION COULD CHANGE THE CODES. BUT IF THE CITY WERE TO APPROVE, LET'S SAY THE APARTMENT COMPLEX ACROSS THE STREET, KNOWN AS A THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ZUL DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY IMPACT FEES OR THAT A DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A PERMIT FEE TO PUT UP A SIGN AND WHEN THE SIGN GETS CONSTRUCTED NEXT TO THE MURAL, WHETHER IT'S MADE OUT OF BRASS OR WHETHER IT'S LIT FROM THE GROUND OR WHETHER IT ISN'T STILL HAS TO GO THROUGH THE REVIEW PROCESS. TAKE STAFF TIME TO REVIEW AND BE INSPECTED BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO GO OUT AND IT HAS TO BE COD AND CLOSED OUT AND MAINTAINED AND MONITORED . AND AS A RESULT, ALL THAT STUFF ADDS UP STAFF TIME AND I AGREE. THAT SEEMS, UH, COUNTERINTUITIVE, BUT THE TRUTH IS ALL THAT WE'RE APPROVING HERE. IS THE PARTICULAR IMAGE. AND THEN THE CITIES AGREE OR THE CR IS AGREEING TO PAY FOR IT. BUT RIGHT NOW OUR CODE PREVENTS THE PAINTING OF GRAFFITI ON A WALL. SOMEONE MIGHT SAY THAT GRAFFITI IS A MURAL. AND IT ALSO PREVENTS THE PAINTING OF MURALS WITHOUT A PERMIT THAT GETS TO REVIEW BECAUSE AGAIN AND AGAIN. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S RIGHT OR WRONG. BUT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT THINK ART IS ART AND SOME PEOPLE THAT THINK SOME PICTURES AREN'T ART, AND AS A RESULT, WE'VE FOUND A REASONABLE WAY TO EVALUATE THAT BY HAVING A BOARD LOOK AT THE ACTUAL IMAGE THAT'S GOING TO BE PAINTED AND THEN HAVING THE UM BUILDING, OFFICIALS INSPECT AND MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPER PAINTS AND THINGS THAT WERE USED ARE NOT DRIPPING LEAD PAINT INTO THE SOIL, AND THAT THE SIGN IS NOT INSTALLED, IMPROPERLY, ET CETERA . BUT IT'S JUST THE SIMPLY THE PERMIT PROCESS. THANK YOU, MIKE. DID YOU SAY ANYTHING ELSE? THAT WAS THAT? WAS IT ANYONE ELSE? HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, JUST THAT. I SEE MY MURALS AROUND TOWN THAT ARE FADING. UM MAYBE IF THE OWNERS KNEW SO THEY OBVIOUSLY INVESTING IN THIS PAINTING. THOSE CLEAR SEERS. THE TRICK AND THE ARTIST WOULD AGREE. THE TRICK IS TO SAY OK, I MIGHT DO THIS IN 2.5 3 YEARS BEFORE THE DEGRADATION STARTS. BECAUSE ONCE THE PAINT STARTS TO CHALK, THEN YOU GOT A PRESSURE CLEAN BEFORE YOU CAN PUT THE SEALER ON. SO THE WHOLE THE WHOLE GAME IS TO STAY AHEAD OF THAT AND AGAIN. IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL IF YOU STAY AHEAD OF IT, AND I SEE SOME MIRRORS AROUND TOWN WHERE THAT WAS THAT WAS NOT DONE. YOU KNOW, I WANNA SUGGEST THAT PERHAPS YOU MAY WANNA COME. YOU COME BACK TO THE BOARD. NOT FOR THIS, OF COURSE, BUT MAYBE WE WANNA ROOK AT WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THE MURAL AND HOW WE WANT TO PROTECT IT AND MAKE IT ALL PART OF PUT AND RECOMMEND THAT LANGUAGE GO INTO WE DO HAVE LANGUAGE IN THE AGREEMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT FOR FIVE YEARS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE DETAILS ON HOW THEY NEED TO MAINTAIN IT. IF WE GO OUT THERE AND WE SEE THAT THE PAINT HAS BEEN CHIPPED OR SOMETHING WE CAN OBVIOUSLY BASED ON AGREEMENT. WE CAN ASK THEM TO REPAINT IT OR IF THE BOY FEELS THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH. THAT'S FINE WITH ME. OK? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? I. I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU, TOM, THOUGH I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT THAT, BECAUSE, UM, YOU KNOW, THESE THINGS ARE GREAT. I LO I LOVE WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING WITH THEM. BUT UM, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE ROAD 10 YEARS, YOU KNOW, THEY COULD BE AN EYESORE. IF WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, REQUIRE CERTAIN THINGS, AND I KNOW WE REQUIRE MAINTENANCE FOR FIVE YEARS. BUT THAT'S WHAT THAT'S THE POINT AND WE'RE JUST A LITTLE PREVENTIVE. THEY LOOK NEW FOREVER. THAT'S ALL. WHY DON'T YOU AT SOME POINT, BRING BACK TO US? PERHAPS PUTTING SOMETHING ELSE, YEAH, OK, YEAH. OK? UH, MADAM CLARK, DO YOU WANT TO CALL THE ROLL? REMEMBER HOPKINS. YES. VICE CHAIR, BRECK. YES, MCCHRYSTAL. YES MEMBER MOSER? YES CHAIR? YES AND BOARD MEMBER NOBLE. YES OK PASSES 60. ALL RIGHT, MURAL MATCHING GRANT

UM THE RENDERING DOES SHOW SOME REFERENCE TO THE COMMERCIAL NAME OF THE BUSINESS, AND SHE THINKS IT COULD BE MINIMIZED. HOWEVER UM, STAFF BELIEVES THAT DUE TO THE CONTEXT OF THE ARTWORK, AND UH, FEATURING THE LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK THAT THE ARTWORK TELLS THE STORY, AND IT ADVERTISING OR PROMOTING BUSINESS, AND THAT'S NOT THE INTENT OF THE ARTWORK. MISTER VITALE AND CHRISTOPHER CAN EXPLAIN THAT FURTHER. UM AND SO TODAY STAFF IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 3-20 24 APPROVING THE PROPOSED MURAL.

[01:05:04]

I. I CAN'T EVEN HEAR YOU. STEVEN VITALE. AND MY SON, CHRISTOPHER, WHO WILL BE PAINTING THE MURAL.

AND WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN SINCE PEOPLE COMING FROM THE BOARDWALK. WALK THE SIDEWALK AND RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST THERE'S NOTHING TO LOOK AT, AND THEY'VE JUST PASSED THESE TWO HISTORIC BUILDINGS. THE BUILDING ON THE CORNER OF COLORADO AND SEMINOLE. LOCATED AT UM 201. COLORADO IS THE ORIGINAL COVENTRY HOTEL, WHICH WAS BUILT IN 19. 14 IT WAS THE FIRST BRICK BUILDING IN THE CITY. UM AND NOW IT'S WE CALL IT OLD COLORADO INN AND THERE'S AN ADJACENT BUILDING LOCATED AT 211, COLORADO, AND THAT'S PART OF THE I'LL CALL BOUTIQUE HOTEL. AND IT'S COMBINED WITH THIS PORCH TO KIND OF MAKE IT ONE BUILDING. ALMOST UM, BUT HISTORICALLY, IT DIDN'T HAVE THAT. COMBINE. COMBINING PORCH. SO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN. WE HAVE SOME OLD PHOTOS THAT SHOW THE ORIGINAL BUILDING ON THE CORNER. WITH THE SIGN COVENTRY HOTEL ON THE TOP OF IT AN OLD 19 TWENTIES CAR AND WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE PHOTOS UP IN A HALLWAY. PEOPLE LOVE TO LOOK AT THEM, AND WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN IF PEOPLE HAVE JUST PASSED OUR BUILDINGS, BUT THEY THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW THE HISTORY OF WHAT WAS, UH, CAN WE TELL THE HISTORY OF IT IN ONE MURAL THAT SHOWS WHAT IT WAS LIKE? HERE'S THE ORIGINAL. THE LEFT HAND BUILDING IS A 19 TWENTIES SCENE WITH THE 19 TWENTIES CAR, THE ORIGINAL NAME OF THE HOTEL, WHICH IS EXACTLY HOW IT LOOKED ON THE ON THE OLD PHOTO AND THEN TO THE RIGHT HAND BUILDING HAVE A TRANSITION TO THE MODERN COLORS AND THAT SHOW THE RIGHT HAND BILL THE WAY IT LOOKS RIGHT NOW. THE SIGN IN THE MIDDLE, UM, ABOVE, UH, THE FRONT DOOR IN BETWEEN THE TWO PARTS. THAT SIGN IS ALSO HISTORIC. THAT WAS THERE WHEN I PURCHASED THE BUILDING, AND THERE WAS ALWAYS A SIGN THAT SAID HOTEL WHEN I PURCHASED THE BUILDING RIGHT WHERE THAT HOTEL SCIENTIST TOO. UM, WE DID ADD THE, UM THE BLUE WARNINGS THAT SAY, OC. I UM SO WE WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. IN 19 TWENTIES. ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE AND A TRANSITIONS TO EXACTLY HOW IT LOOKS NOW AND, UM WE WANT TO KEEP IT EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS. IF YOU ARE WILLING TO APPROVE IT. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR VITALE? UH YES. SO THE CAR IS FROM THE TWENTIES WHEN IT WAS BUILT. IS THAT RIGHT? IT IS SO THE POLYPS ARE. I'LL LET CHRISTOPHER TALK ABOUT THIS, BUT WE WANTED TO KEEP THE LEFT HAND SIDE. UH, THE FEELING OF THIS IS THE HISTORIC SIDE OF THE MURAL, AND THAT'S WHY THAT DOESN'T HAVE COLOR FOR THAT ONE IN A BLACK AND WHITE ONE. EXPLAIN THAT YES.

SO UM WE HAD A FEW DIFFERENT OPTIONS OF DESIGNING THIS, SO, UM, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE COULD HAVE DONE IT. THE WAY IT LOOKS TODAY. UM WITH KIND OF THE MODERN COLOR SCHEME AND THE WAY IT HAS THE PORCH CONNECTING IT OR THE FLIP SIDE WAS DOING THE JUST THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS. UM, THE WAY THEY ORIGINALLY LOOKED, UH BUT WE ENDED UP SETTLING ON DOING A THEN AND NOW, UM SORT OF PAST AND PRESENT THINGS. WE KIND OF WANTED TO BRIDGE, YOU KNOW. STEWART TODAY AND STUART AS IT WAS IN THE PAST AND KIND OF SHOW ONE. ARTWORK THAT UM YOU KNOW, SHOWS BOTH SIDES OF OUR HISTORY.

UM SO, YEAH, THE WAY THAT I DECIDED TO DESIGN IT WAS TO HAVE ON THE LEFT SIDE. HAVE IT KIND OF LOOK ALMOST LIKE AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH IN THE BLACK AND WHITE, UM, WITH THE OLD CAR OUT FRONT AND EVERYTHING. AND A COUPLE OF YOU KNOW THOSE KIND OF LANDMARKS TO HELP. IDENTIFY UM THE HISTORIC SIDE OF THE ART AND THEN HAVE IT TRANSITION INTO, UM, THE FULL COLOR. YOU KNOW, RENDERING FOR WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE, UM FOR THE BUILDING AS IT APPEARS TODAY. UH, SO YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY THAT WE MUTUALLY DECIDED TO DESIGN IT, UM AND YEAH, AS FAR AS THE LIKE, THE LETTERING AND EVERYTHING, UM, LIKE MY DAD WAS SAYING THE COLORADO SIGN IN THE HOTEL.

THOSE ARE BOTH THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE AS FAR AS WE KNOW, UM , THE AWNING ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS THAT ONE? WE ADDED, I MEAN, YOU KNOW? IF THAT IS AN ISSUE WE'RE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE. IT'S PRETTY COOL. I MEAN, IT'S UNIQUE. BECAUSE IT'S A MURAL. OF BUILDINGS ON A BUILDING. RIGHT? AND, UH, WHERE IS THE WHERE'S THE TESLA IN FRONT? YOU CAN HAVE MY M GB. I'LL PUT THAT OUT THERE AS LONG AS YOU SHUT THE GATOR BUMPER GUYS, GUYS, GUYS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE ARTIST OR THE APPLICANT? SEE I HAVE. I ONLY HAVE ONE FOR PELL. AND I JUST WANNA RAISE THIS. WELL, YOU ALREADY PAID FOR A MURAL ON THIS BUILDING. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG

[01:10:02]

WITH DOING IT. ON ANOTHER SIDE. THERE'S NOTHING IN IN OUR CODE THAT SAYS YOU CAN'T DO ANOTHER SIDE AND THAT'S A BLANK WALL. WE DON'T HAVE ANY NUMBER LIMITED NUMBERS OF MURALS YOU COULD DO ON A BUILDING, OK? ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? SEE NONE. I'LL TAKE A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE MOTION TO APPROVE. CAN I GET A 2ND 2ND? SECOND BY MARK IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MARK ON THE MOTION? I JUST MAKE ONE COMMENT. UM I. I THINK IT'S REALLY GREAT, TOO, THAT WE'VE GOT A LOCAL ARTIST AND II.
