5. Old Business:
A. Boynton High School (125 E. Ocean Ave.) — Rehabilitation and adaptive
reuse project update (Staff is obtaining a status update and will present
findings at the meeting).
Mr. Rumpf gave a progress report on the Old High School rehabilitation project and
advised a tour was given last week. The project stalled for a short time due to
contractual issues, but those issues were resolved and work is ongoing. The staff
report included in the meeting materials indicates work is still ongoing on some small
areas of the roof. Most windows were installed. Footings were also installed to provide
additional support for that portion of the building where there were first and second
floors. The footings were dug, formed, and framed with steel supports or members and
were ready for inspection. The project is under permit review by staff. He anticipated
much more to report over the next two meetings based on the Phase 11 contract as it
was signed. When they complete Phase I improvements, they can continue on once
they get their permit for the additional work. Visual images were viewed as contained in
the meeting handouts. Mr. Rumpf noted the windows are operable in the school. The
windows were complete in the gymnasium multi-purpose room. Chair Ready inquired
about reusing the wood floors and learned Mr. Rumpf understood there was not enough
wood to use. There were a lot of nails in the floor. Mr. Rumpf will try to keep an eye on
the project. Mr. Feldman asked about the Phase 11 timeline. Mr. Rumpf recalled March
was the target completion date, but he thought they would be a few months off. He is
not involved in the contract talks, but anticipated it would be a few months off the March
date. He also indicated a lot of what was in the building could not be preserved such as
pictures, wiring and plumbing. There has been back and forth with permit review staff
had to determine what code would apply to the changes or renovation and whether to
use Historic Preservation Exemption Standards or others and there are modifications
needed to the permit drawings to comply. The steel footings will be under the floor. The
use classification is also changed from a school to a place of assembly class and the
load is expected to increase significantly and therefore it needed much more structural
support.
Mr. Wilson asked if the Old High School had a time capsule and learned Mr. Rumpf was
unaware of any.
B. Historic plaques for designated properties — Status of establishing a
marker program (see accompanying combined staff report for update).
Mr. Rumpf explained he researched additional plaques. The plaques all have the same
shape, but different layouts. He passed around a plaque from a vendor from Boynton
Beach that had the product the Board likes the most of the materials at the last meeting.
The members viewed the additional examples. The report indicated the costs, but the
cost was contingent on the assumption of a larger volume. He explained the City does
not have a large number of homes, and it would be a house-by-house basis based on
2

interest from the homeowners and they would likely order one at a time. He backed off
on the estimate and was waiting for a final design. The Board had previously discussed
a price in the mid $100's per unit and he would cover the design set up fee. Mr. Rumpf
thought that may change as well, but he did not anticipate it would be too much more.
Mr. Rumpf was given a catalogue the plaque came from made by a company named
Grandview Aluminum Products from Illinois. If the Board wanted to move forward with
that product, they had already concluded they had most of the wording, and the script.
They discussed a logo, which was where they left off. The vendor warned Mr. Rumpf
about the level of detail of the logo as it is very fine and it does not show up real well.
Most do not have much detail. Chair Ready commented one plaque had a square area
where the date could be etched and noted Voncile Smith suggested ordering a quantity
of plates and then left an area to attach numbers to it at a later time. It may be less
expensive. It would be more expensive to order one at a time.
Susan Oyer, 140 SE 27 th Way, suggested ordering several to get the quantity discount
and have the people who are going to get them, pay for the engraving. Chair Ready
commented the Board needed to learn what the minimum order was.
Mr. Feldman recalled Mr. Adams felt this year or the next, the number of post war
homes south of the Town Square are coming into the time-period they could be
designated as historic. He did not know if it was something the Board would want to
pursue, as it would be a big historic new area of downtown. He thought it would open a
new area. The Leisureville community would qualify as well as it had made a
contribution to the City and the neighborhood had on the development of Boynton
Beach.
Mr. Rumpf agreed to find out about alternatives. Chair Ready thought the fewer words
the better. There was consensus on having fewer words and the members agreed on
the words "Boynton each Historic Site".
The members discussed the logo. Mr. Feldman was unsure a logo was necessary. He
favored the words Boynton each on top, the words Historic Site on the bottom and
using a bigger plaque and each one be engraved with a different date. Mr. Tidwell
noted the plaques are mainly on homes and a few public buildings. Palm each
currently has a plaque at the clock tower. When the City improved Worth Avenue, the
clock tower was installed on the beach and they placed a plaque there that talked about
the beaching of the sea vessel Providencia, which spilled out coconuts. In the 1920's,
the City used all the coconuts and planted them along Worth Avenue. There was an
attachment plaque of the beached ship, which was stolen three times.
Ms. Black suggested using the words and putting the emblem in the middle because the
City has a website that contains all the information based on QR Codes and the Board
would not have to worry about more engraving afterwards because the location could
be accessed online. They are on the website and can be researched. She commented
there are not enough historic homes and it would cost a lot of money to get the plaques.

If they keep it simple, they could use the same plaques at the historic sites without the
date. It was noted the Palm each plaques just say historic landmark. Chair Ready
wanted, if the date was not used in the middle, to use a logo. She and Mr. Tidwell liked
the ribbon on the Old High School emblem or the shield in the center. It could be
simplified. Mr. Rumpf explained they would have to give it to the vendor because some
of the lines are kind of fine. The members wanted a simplified version. Mr. Rumpf
asked who was familiar with it and what does it mean.
Mr. Feldman favored the words Boynton each Historic Site, the oval shape, in terms of
a logo, he liked the design on the outside of the historic school or just the etched
drawing of the Old Schoolhouse museum. He liked the idea of the homeowner can etch
the date onto the plaque after the fact. He thought they could order 50 or 100 plaques
and add it after the fact if the homeowner was interested.
Mr. Tidwell agreed and liked the oval shape, keeping, the verbiage simple with Boynton
Beach Historic Site and liked something in the middle of the plaque. The date did not
matter to him. He noted in 50 years, the date may be more significant, but currently, the
dates are around the same time.
Mr. Rumpf clarified a logo would be raised and not etched.
Mr. Wilson was fine with the wording, but preferred a date. He agreed they do not have
many structures in the City from the 1920's and south of the Town Square, there are a
few homes from the 30's and 40's. He thought if it was cost effective, they could put a
date on the plaque and have smaller logos. He liked the logos on the Delray each
plaque having a logo on each side and making the date the emphasis on the plaque. He
agreed with Mr. Feldman to use the schoolhouse logo. He also liked the one on the
school, but he wanted something more schoolhouse. Chair Ready thought the logo
viewed at the last meeting was the Historical Society's logo.
Ms. Black wanted to keep the plaque simple with the words Boynton each Historic Site
and having the logo in the middle. She would support whatever logo the Board liked.
Doing so would solve the problem of not having to order the plaques one at a time.
Susan Oyer, 140 SE 227th Way, liked the wording and suggested leaving the spot in
the middle open, purchasing a bunch of plaques and let people put their own numbers
on it. She liked the sailfish outline logo, with one facing each direction looking to the
open spot in the center for the date. She commented there are quite a few buildings
because there are some commercial buildings that should be designated like the J
building, due to Conrad Pickel and the house on 5th that was Conrad Pickel's Home, the
building Fantasia, the Woman's Club, and her family's buildings. She thought it would
use the City's logo advising the City is the closest location in North America to the
Gulfstream and a fishing area and it gives the wording looking for, but simplicity and the
ability for people to put the year of the building there for individuals who care. For those

who do not, she thought something more generic would be appropriate. Chair Ready
pointed out the plaques have to be the same.
Chair Ready asked about consensus on the logo. Everything else is simple and can be
communicated to the vendor. Chair Ready was not familiar with the Schoolhouse
Children's Museum logo, which was a see-saw with two children. Mr. Wilson was
referring to something along the line the Historical Society has. He thought it may be
able to be a little different. Chair Ready agreed to ask the Historical Society and ask
them for permission to use the logo. Ms. Black was fine with whatever logo the Board
selected.
Chair Ready asked should we leave space in case someone wanted to add numbers. It
was possible the numbers could be affixed through small screws, but they may be
slightly visible. Discussion returned to the logo. Mr. Tidwell asked if someone could go
on the lift at the site, someone use the lift at the Old High School to get a straight on
shot of the crest. Mr. Rumpf agreed to check. Mr. Feldman also requested finding out
the number of plaques that would need to be purchased before the Board could get a
discount. Mr. Rumpf also agreed to find out.
C. Woman's Club of Boynton Beach — Report on roof replacement work
approved and contracted for the City's nationally-registered, 1926 Woman's
Club.
Mr. Rumpf explained the contractor started the roof work. As expected, the roof will
require further study as the contractor could not conduct a total assessment without roof
work. The backup materials contained the information. It was unknown what degree of
termite damage could be revealed. The good news was there was only one roof
component that needed to be replaced and it would not be a major task. They are
moving forward and hope to finish the roof by end of year and remainder of the work
done by mid-summer. The work is on track. Chair Ready noticed the inspector on site
recommended they do not exceed the weight of the replacement tile and thought if they
are concerned about the weight, why they would not consider reinforcing the roof in
case it does exceed Mr. Hollis did not think the replacement barrel tile would weigh
more than the existing roof tiles. The roofer has to replace the same load on the roof.
Thuy Shutt and Theresa Utterback were overseeing the work. Chair Ready had noted
they were using pecky cypress wood and it looks like there were some areas that
needed the wood. Chair Ready commented she happens to have some at her home
she does not need and she requested Mr. Rumpf let the CRA know they can use it to
patch.
Chair Ready asked why is it was taking so long to finish the roof. Mr. Rumpf did not
know. He spoke with CRA Staff and pointed out there were some rainy periods, which
caused some delays, but generally they are on track. He also understood the tiles were
being created for the project and the roofer is using authentic material.

D. Boynton Beach Website Update — The City's website has been completely
redesigned and the City's historic preservation information continues to be
brought into, or linked with the new site.
Mr. Rumpf explained before the last meeting, staff was still creating the City's new
website and lagging some additional components such as Historic Preservation
information. Information Technology has since been adding the necessary links. Mr.
Rumpf continues to review it and proof read the contents. It has elements needed for
the Historic Trails grant based on the City's commitment to do so as part of the grant
project. There is a desire to incorporate some materials into the new City website
Chair Ready asked what the City decided to do with the kiosks and QR codes on Ocean
Avenue. Mr. Rumpf was researching the issue and understood fewer and fewer people
were using the QR systems on their phones. Information Technology staff had asked
him to consider that before they make the effort to replace the kiosks in that manner.
People are using websites more directly than using the links. It may be aging
technology. Mr. Rumpf agreed to find out before the City replaces the mini-kiosks at the
project tour sites. Chair Ready asked, with the GPS systems, if someone could just
stand in the right spot and not click on a QR code. Mr. Rumpf agreed to check with ITS.
He wants to find a better material or surface for the kiosk board as the prior ones aged
poorly.
E. Magnuson House, 211 E. Ocean Avenue — Update on adaptive reuse
project (see accompanying combined staff report for update).
Mr. Rumpf explained at the last meeting there was question about the ownership of the
Magnuson House. The meeting material included information reflecting the CRA
activated the reverter clause and now owns the property. CRA staff is getting estimates
for possibly relocation costs and feasibility of the structure of the home. There may be
discussions about what the property would be better used for as it pertained to the
Town Square project, but Mr. Rumpf was not involved in the active discussion. Mr.
Simon has been discussing the project for the Time Square. Chair Ready commented it
is on the local register, and Mr. Rumpf explained the CRA is aware of it. They will
revisit the topic and whatever is done will involve this Board. They will have to have a
Certificate of Appropriateness or review action regarding its historic status. Chair Ready
favored it staying in its current location as the dream was to have a cottage district down
Ocean Avenue.

9. Public comments
Ms. Oyer explained to the Board she had to resign from the board to go back onto the
Arts commission. She advised she is upset as she spent five years on the Board and
loved it, and she was sad to leave. She was appreciative for former Mayor Taylor who
had originally appointed her to the Board, but the kinetic event and the Arts Commission
really needs a lot of help. She commented the Board functions well and everyone plays
nice. It is a well-run Board that she is not worried about, whereas she wants to make a
difference and arts needs help making a difference and participating in kinetics. She
would be around Providencia.
Rodney and Lanelle Martin explained they have a property under contract and wanted
to observe the Board as they are interested in Historic Preservation. Chair Ready noted
there was a Board vacancy and invited them to apply online.
Chair Ready inquired if the City was keeping its CLG status and learned the City was.
He would submit the annual report in November
Ms. Black asked if the members RSVP'd to the Advisory Board Super Hero appreciation
dinner on October 17th,a Wednesday night.
10. Announce date of next meeting — December 10, 2018

Historic preservation is more than just making old things look new again. Florida's historic resources- buildings,districts,
shipwrecks, archaeological sites, and more - are not just static reflections of the past. These places enrich and bring
a meaning to our lives and communities. Sometimes that meaning is cultural, religious, or social. A building might be the
fabric that ties a neighborhood together, or an archaeological site may be spiritually important to Florida's indigenous
people.
Preservation is about people. Florida's historic places reflect our population: diverse and growing. With every passing
year, more of the places important to us are recognized for their historical significance. Without the voices of local
support from those closest to them, many historical sites will disappear every year: lost to development pressure, natural
disasters, frequent flooding, and neglect.
Historic preservation also serves as an economic driver. Programs like Florida Main Street and the Federal Historic
Preservation Tax Credit have resulted in billions of dollars of reinvestment in Florida's economy over the last 30 years. In
a state where our economy is largely driven by development, we must constantly encourage and reinforce the economic
�. viability of adaptive reuse, restoration, and rehabilitation.
I .
In this document, the Division of Historical Resources describes where we've been and where we're going in the next
' five years. I invite all of Florida's citizens to help and guide us -tell us what is important to you and your community, and
'i
help us document it.Your history, and your important places,can be used to revitalize your neighborhood,teach children
about our collective past, and preserve that past for future generations.
Sincerely,
L J

� � `1111 II Ip'd I

Florida's Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan for 2017-2021 serves as a blueprint for charting
the direction of historic preservation policy and action during the five-year planning cycle. Fulfilling
requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the Florida Division of Historical
Resources, serving as the State Historic Preservation Office, is responsible for developing the
Plan. However, implementation of the plan is a shared initiative that includes the Division, but also
encompasses the efforts of a wide range of shareholders including individuals, organizations, businesses,
:
and government entities.
;f The previous State Historic Preservation Plan, More than Orange Marmalade, was successful in providing a strong
ii . framework for establishing historic preservation as a community development tool and as a key component of state and
local economic development strategies.This document seeks to build upon that success through refining the goals and
' objectives presented in the 2012-2016 document, and to take a future focused approach on the relationship between
historic preservation, economic development, and the diverse and cultural rich constituency of Florida's citizens. In an
effort to address the needs of a dynamic state and to solicit broad input,the Division engaged preservation professionals
`
and the public to receive feedback and direction for this plan. Three recurring themes were noted during the outreach
}
process: sea level rise impacts and planning efforts, the need to involve millennials and other young people in historic
preservation, and the need to enhance the Certified Local Government (CLG) program. To address these specific
concerns and the needs of the preservation world more broadly,this plan outlines four broad goals for the consideration
of Florida's historic preservation stakeholders:
• Identify,Document,and PreserveI ri 's Historic Places
• Expand and EncouragePublic Participation in Historic Preservation
• Poster Pride in Florida's isory and Buildr ry tion Ethic
•
Promote Historic Preservation at the Local and Regional Levels

IMODUCTION
Since the National Historic Preservation Act was passed in 1966, Florida's historic preservation
movement has made significant progress. With 50 years of hindsight, the 2017-2021 Comprehensive
Historic Preservation Plan provides an opportunity to commemorate preservation successes in Florida,
highlight the important role that preservation plans in economic development and revitalization, and
outline a forward-thinking plan for the future of historic preservation in Florida. As one of the most culturally and
1
economically diverse of the United States, Florida has a unique opportunity to demonstrate how appreciation and
preservation of a rich past can form part of a foundation for an economically and culturally dynamic future.
Although they form the backbone of what we do as preservation advocates, an appreciation of the past and vision for
the future are not entirely sufficient to maintain historic preservation as a sustainable movement. Our recognition of
significant elements of shared history must be diverse and inclusive, and our vision must be innovative and appealing to
a younger generation who value history and preservation differently than their predecessors. As a movement, historic
i' preservation must reach out in new ways, using new technology, and with a vocabulary that speaks to traditional
«r stakeholders, those newly engaged in preservation, and especially younger and successive generations. Preservation
must, in other words, step into an ever-broadening and diversifying Florida, United States, and world.
f
The 2017-2021 Statewide Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan is not meant to be a prescriptive or limiting set of
rules for the Florida Division of Historical Resources or for Florida's stakeholders and partners in preservation. Instead,this
document should serve both as an introduction and invitation to the world of historic preservation, and on another level
it should provide a robust set of goals and recommendations for those already interested and invested in preservation
efforts. Historic preservation in Florida should reflect our state's constituency - diverse, multi-cultural, and growing -
and should at the same time remain grounded in tradition and the appreciation of the past that supports education,
economic growth, and the transformational community benefits of a historic preservation ethic.
