ANALYSIS
On May 11, 2004, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) approved a streetscape
project within the Altos-del-Mar local Historic District that included the construction
of a perimeter wall around the properties fronting Collins Avenue, Atlantic Way, the
north side of 7th Street, 78th Street, and the south side of 79th Street. Controlled

plan:
1. New bump-outs along Collins Avenue, in order to address safety concerns
raised by FOOT for existing curb cuts.

5. Modifications to the exterior wall piers proposed for 7ih, 78th and 79th Streets.
6. Modifications to the landscape plan in order to install different types of Palm
Trees.
At the April 1 0, 2006 meeting, the HPB also considered a request for an "After-the-
Fact" Certificate of Appropriateness for Demolition for the unauthorized removal of
an historic coral rock wall at the eastern terminus of 7ih Street. Pursuant to Article
X of the Land Development Regulations of the City Code, the Historic Preservation
Board action with regard to such request is advisory only. This request must go
before the City Commission for final approval, as the Coral Rock Wall was located
within a City owned right-of-way.
At this time, in order for the Project to proceed as approved by the HPB, it is
necessary for the City Commission to schedule a Public Hearing to consider the
request for an "After-the-Fact" Certificate of Appropriateness for the demolition of
the Coral Rock Wall previously located at the eastern terminus of 7ih Street.
It should be noted that the City Code does not require the City Commission to
schedule a public hearing in considering the issuance of a Certificate of
Appropriateness for Demolition; however, this is the same process followed by the
Historic Preservation Board. In order to protect the City from potential challenge, it
is recommended that the Commission follow the same process.
