Draft Historic Preservation Board Regular Meeting Minutes
[835 Antonette Avenue; case COR #26-06] The Historic Preservation Board approved a request to modify an existing structure by reopening an enclosed front porch. The property is located at 835 Antonette Avenue within the College Quarter Historic District, zoned R-1A. The request was previously a non-action item on the April 8, 2026 agenda. The motion carried unanimously by a 6-0 vote. John Skolfield was absent from the meeting. [151 Stirling Avenue; case COR #26-07] The Historic Preservation Board approved a variance to revise previously approved plans for a fence enclosing a pool area, specifically to permit modifications to the fence height and location. The property is located at 151 Stirling Avenue within the Virginia Heights East Historic District, zoned R-1AA. The applicant requested the variance for privacy and pool safety reasons. The motion carried unanimously by a 6-0 vote. John Skolfield was absent from the meeting. [250 Virginia Drive] The Board discussed a demolition permit application for the home at 250 Virginia Drive, a 1939 Colonial Revival residence designed by James Gamble Rogers and listed on the Florida Master Site File. The demolition permit automatically triggered a 90-day delay and notification to the Board. The Board does not have authority to approve or deny demolition, but the delay is to explore alternatives. Board members expressed strong concern about the potential loss of the home due to its architectural significance and good condition. Public comment was heard from Orman Kimbrough (in favor of preservation), Sally Flynn and Wade Miller (opposed to demolition), and Betsy Owens (did not confirm favor or opposition). The Board's consensus was that the situation highlighted a systemic problem requiring policy changes by the City Commission. The Board encouraged residents to advocate for stronger preservation measures and policies.
