A Certificate of Appropriateness is being reviewed for a property located at 44 Spanish Street in St. Augustine. The proposal involves relocating an existing rear porch post approximately two feet south to create an ADA-compliant pathway to a new bathroom addition. Staff recommends approval if the board finds the bathroom addition and rear porch modifications align with historic preservation standards, specifically Standard #9 for compatible contemporary design with minimal streetscape impact. This project would involve minor structural work, including post relocation, and the construction of a new bathroom. The project is currently under review by the Historic Architectural Review Board. Contractors specializing in historic renovations, carpentry, concrete, and general construction may find opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement could be beneficial before final plans and permits are issued.
