6. HARB2026-0009: Engine Shop, 1700 N. Harbor City Blvd.
This item concerns the exterior painting of the Engine Shop building located at 1700 N. Harbor City Blvd. The applicant proposed using "Agreeable Gray" for the main body and "Web Gray" for trim, doors, and door trim. This application was an "after-the-fact" request, meaning the work was already completed. The Historic and Architectural Review Board reviewed the application and found it consistent with the Eau Gallie District Architectural Guidelines. The Board approved the application unanimously. While the painting work is complete, this approval process indicates a need for services related to historic property maintenance and exterior finishes. Contractors specializing in painting and exterior restoration may find opportunities in similar future projects within historic districts.
