Title
Request To Waive a 90-Day Demolition Delay (B)
Waiver of 90-day demolition delay for a structure located at 714 SE 9th Street.
Explanation
Planning staff has placed a 90-day demolition delay on a structure located outside of the historic districts at 714 SE 9th Street. The delay was imposed because the structure on the site is over 45 years of age and it is part of the Florida master site file for the W.L. Perryman Resource Group (8AL5285), which is the block bounded by SE 8th Street on the west, SE 9th Street on the east, SE 7th Avenue to the north, and by the Mount Olive AME Church property on the south. The block includes Perryman's Grocery and the Cotton Club and its associated buildings, including this house set for demolition. Therefore staff has imposed the 90 day delay. The 90-day delay period ends on July 7, 2019. The petitioners plan to attend the June 4, 2019 HPB meeting to ask for a waiver of the remaining number of days on the 90-day delay.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Board support the waiver of the 90-day demolition delay.
