recommendations regarding the possible designation of a portion of the public right-of-way of

At the same meeting, the Board reviewed such request and unanimously approved a motion (5 to 0;
2 absences) to direct staff to prepare a preliminary evaluation report with recommendations
regarding the possible designation of a portion ofthe public right-of-way of Pine tree Drive as a local
historic site.
At its December 12, 2000, meeting, the Historic Preservation Board reviewed the preliminary
evaluation report with recommendations prepared by the staff of the Planning Department regarding
the designation of a portion of the public right-of-way of Pine tree Drive. The Board unanimously
approved a motion (7 to 0) to direct staff to prepare a designation report and schedule a public
hearing relative to the designation of this new historic site.
On February 28,2001, the Historic Preservation Board unanimously approved a motion (5 to 0; 2
absences) to recommend approval of the designation of the proposed Pinetree Drive Historic
Roadway as an historic site in accordance with staff recommendations, as reflected in this
designation report. The Board also recommended that the City Commission request the
Administration to investigate the possibility of a tree replacement program for the Australian Pines,
which have been lost over time or may be lost in the future, within the boundaries ofthe proposed
historic roadway.
The Planning Board is scheduled to consider the proposed designation of the Pinetree Drive Historic
Roadway on March 27, 2001.
DESIGNATION PROCESS
The designation report for a proposed historic site is required to be presented to the Historic
Preservation Board and the Planning Board at separate public hearings. Following public input, the
Historic Preservation Board votes on whether or not the proposed historic site meets the criteria
listed in the Land Development Regulations ofthe City Code and transmits a recommendation on
historic designation to the Planning Board and City Commission. If the Historic Preservation Board
votes against the designation, no further action is required. If the Historic Preservation Board votes
in favor of designation, the Planning Board reviews the designation report and formulates its own
recommendation. The recommendations of both Boards, along with the designation report, are
presented to the City Commission. Because in this instance the proposed ordinance involves an area
often (10) or more contiguous acres, the City Commission must hold two (2) public hearings on the
designation, unless if at its first public hearing the City Commission votes to deny the proposed
designation, in which instance the designation process ends immediately. Upon conclusion of the
second hearing, if one should occur, the City Commission can immediately adopt the ordinance with
a 5/7 majority vote.
