Mayor Penserga asked how they chose those properties. Mr. Hoffer spoke about looking at City and CRA owned lots, and if they were feasible. He spoke about what they considered with the properties as well. Mayor Penserga asked if the house would be used for a home in the future. He said that he does not think that is where it should go. He asked about the cost and bringing the building to Code. Mr. Hoffer said that this is the bare minimum cost, because there was a renovation that was redone before, but if there are things out of Code, then that was not included. 13 Minutes of the Meeting City Commission Meeting Boynton Beach, FL January 7, 2025 Mayor Penserga said that he is leaning towards this being a community use, not a home. Commissioner Turkin spoke about moving the building and agreed it should be a recreational or community use. He mentioned that having this next to another historic home is a great way to use the property. He stated that we should have the community involved to see what they would like to have this used for. He said that we need to move the home first, before figuring out what it can be used for. Commissioner Hay said that he is all for moving the house, but where is the question. He stated that he does not think it would be a successful, if it becomes another little house. Vice Mayor Kelley stated that they seem to all be on the same page with this house. She mentioned that we need to do a joint CRA/City meeting to make sure that we are all onboard. Ms. Radigan stated that three locations were residential, one is a City park, and she explained what it could be used for on those properties. She spoke about the Magnuson house property and its challenges, and about bringing it up to Code, depending on what it will be used for. Vice Mayor Kelley spoke about if it was not financially feasible and it sat empty for a long time. She said that if we move the house, there might not be interest to have it used. Mayor Penserga asked what the bare minimum cost would be to move it to the Magnuson House property, until there is a use for it, after public input. He spoke about government fixing up the buildings because other businesses might not be able to fix it due to cost. Mr. Hoffer spoke about the variables that they have had to consider and the possible lowest costs to just move it. Ms. Radigan stated that there is a cost for the new foundation that is needed. Mr. Mack spoke about the cost for some of the other properties, and possible use of the house. Mayor Penserga asked what other cities game plans are on making something like this work. 14 Minutes of the Meeting City Commission Meeting Boynton Beach. FL January 7, 2025 Ms. Radigan spoke about the McDougle house, which is used for events, and is at a different scale than this house. She said that she thinks it can still work really well and reiterated that there are a lot of variables. Commissioner Cruz stated that she would like to have a joint meeting and is in favor of moving the house. She stated that we should find the purpose first, before moving it. Ms. Radigan said that property 1 is the most feasible location, because it's a passive park and it is City owned. Commissioner Cruz said that she is not opposed to moving it to the Magnuson house, but would take staff recommendation into consideration. Mayor Penserga noted that there is a CRA Meeting next week that they could discuss it at a joint meeting. Commissioner Turkin stated that the Jones House, which is award winning, is a nice house and it is being utilized. He mentioned that the City had been speaking about having a public/private partnership with the Magnuson House. He stated that there is historical context that historical homes can be used for commercial uses. He compared this to Dada's in Delray Beach, and having this in the core of Boynton Beach, on Ocean Avenue. Mayor Penserga said that he does not disagree and said that the key is CRA support. Ms. Radigan stated that there are several proposals that utilized the outside property, and having two buildings on the Magnuson house property could limit the use. There was consensus to hold a joint CRA Meeting. Attorney Lamb suggested having the joint meeting before the CRA meeting next week, then continuing the City's conversation for the 21st. There is consensus to start the meeting at 6 P.M., if the CRA was okay with it. Commissioner Hay asked if the City has a historical district. Ms. Radigan stated that we do not have a designated one, but there are clusters that would be eligible. She said that there are several designated sites, but not districts. B.

Mr. Ramsey said that the first-year fee was waived, and the second year would be $100 a year. Mr. Mack said that staff can take a look at the cost and come back to the Commission. He said that some cities charge, and some do not, and that a lot of roads do not have the program signs up, because they are County owned.
