The City of Fort Myers Historic Preservation Commission approved a new driveway at 2634 Cortez Boulevard, located within the Edison Park Historic District. The project involves replacing an existing concrete single driveway and expanding it to include a circular concrete driveway. The property is noted as a non-contributing structure within the district. The approval was granted with conditions, including that non-driveway areas of the front yard be covered with sod or other plantings, and a revision to the permit must be submitted showing the driveway as contained in the application prior to restarting work. The Certificate of Review is effective for two years unless there is an active building permit. The previous meeting's minutes were approved unanimously 5-0.
