University Heights Historic District South-Relocate a single family dwelling (B)
Petition HP-15-68. Ricardo Cavallino, agent for SHD Development. Relocate a single-family dwelling located at 1109 SW 3rd Avenue to the northeastern portion of parcel #13096-000-000. Related to HP-15-69, HP-15-70, and HP-15-72.
Explanation
This project involves the relocation of a contributing single-family dwelling from Parcel #13095-000-000 (1109 SW 3rd Avenue) to the northeastern portion of adjacent parcel #13096-000-000 (1029 SW 3rd Avenue). The move will be part of a larger project to create multi-family housing on Parcels 13095-000-000, 13096-000-000, and 13098-000-000. The petitioner has requested to demolish all additions to the building, bringing it back to a rectangular shape. The 1961 update of the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps indicate the presence of the central portion of the southern rear addition and one of the eastern additions. Since that time, two more additions have been created along the rear and eastern side of the home.
The structure to be moved is a one and one-half story single-family house that is approximately 1,788 square feet in size. Built in 1930 according to the Alachua County Property Appraisers office, this house typifies pre-WWII housing in the neighborhood. There is a Florida Master Site File #8AL3104 recorded with the Florida Division of Historical Resources. The FL Master Site File sites the buildings age and integrity as making it contributing to the period of significance of the neighborhood. It will remain a contributing structure to the University Heights Historic District - South once relocated.
