Appendix F <br />References <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach Code <br />§171-10. Decisions on certificates of appropriateness. <br />The Board's decision on an application for a certificate of appropriateness shall be based <br />upon an evaluation of the compatibility of the physical alteration or improvement with <br />surrounding properties and, where applicable, compliance with the following: <br />A. The Secretary of Interior's Standard for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for <br />Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, as revised from time to time; and <br />B. Other guidelines/policies/plans adopted or approved by resolution or <br />ordinance by the City Commission. <br />Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation <br />1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires <br />minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces and spatial <br />relationships. <br />2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal <br />of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships <br />that characterize a property will be avoided. <br />3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. <br />Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding <br />conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be <br />undertaken. <br />4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right <br />will be retained and preserved. <br />5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples <br />of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. <br />6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the <br />severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new <br />feature will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials. <br />Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and <br />physical evidence. <br />7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the <br />gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will <br />not be used. <br />8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such <br />resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. <br />9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy <br />historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the <br />property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible <br />with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to <br />protect the integrity of the property and its environment. <br />Page 97 of 98 108 <br />
