method of construction. or that represent the work of a master. or that possess high artistic values.or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction: or". and she gave examples of the language. This is the exact verbiage of the Secretary of Interior's National Register Standards. Most ordinances that she has seen, this language is customary because it speaks to architecture specifically. Ms. Uguccioni's final proposed amendment was to delete former paragraph"F"which references a property's designation in the City's "Comprehensive Plan or Florida Master Site File". Ms. Uguccioni states this entire paragraph should be stricken because the City does not maintain a list of archaeological and historical landmarks in its Comprehensive Plan. This reference should not be there because the City's Comprehensive Plan doesn't have the historic site designation process associated with it which is the notification of the owner,the due diligence in terms of research, etc. With regards to the"Florida Master Site File" there was a form designed by Tallahassee and it is used when you survey an area, and surveying is just a preliminary look of things, not the in-depth research that we do for a designation report. It is never intended to stand alone, as a designation report. Deputy City Attorney Amuchastegui added that the purpose of this discussion item tonight is simply a discussion, the Board will not be taking a formal vote on this, and also to clarify that if this were to be considered by the Board in the future, it would ultimately be a recommendation for the City Commission to pass and adopt an Ordinance because it is the City Commission's function to pass ordinances that modify the City Code in any way. But this Board does have the authority to make a recommendation to the City Commission. Cassey Gabor asked if we can put"artifacts"in there,and Ms. Uguccioni said she thinks it is in the Ordinance already. The question is did we say specifically site structures.objects. We can enumerate the kinds of things the Board can designate as historic. Warren Stamm asked about the new paragraph "G.", can we amend this to strike it as we don't need it, and she said yes, it should be stricken, and so it would end at paragraph "F.". Ms. Uguccioni said in the definition section in the Code. we have a definition of what is an historic landmark,and that is any site building structure, landscape feature, improvement or archeological site. The Code says that an "improvement" is any building, structure, fence, gate, wall, walkway,parking facility, light fixture, bench, fountain,signs,work of art,which she thinks the word improvement in the definition of historic landmark would encompass signs. etc. However, if this Board feels that it should be even more specific such as another definition of"object", we could look into that. Cassey Gabor said it is necessary because of the Thunderbird Motel, it is difficult to get these. David Udoff said he would look into that. When he was down there he took pictures and he worked with Richard Schulman and wrote a letter to Mr. Dezer. Mr. Dezer donated the pieces and they ended up at Pelican Community Park and they are fiberglass like an egg-man,a pelican,and things like that. He will find out if there is a list of artifacts in the City. There were a number of signs, and he knows that the City wished to acquire the Ocean Palm sign. Cassey Gabor asked him to have a picture of each artifact along with the list. David Udoff said just this past week the Golden Nugget was demolished, and he went out there and took before and after pictures. He will locate all that information and pictures.
