Historic Preservation Board 06-03-2026 05:01 PM

The City of Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board held a meeting on June 3, 2026, focusing primarily on two key procurement-related items involving historic property modifications. The board reviewed and approved a Level One Certificate of Appropriateness for roof vent additions at Sunday Village buildings B and F, ensuring materials and colors would blend with existing structures. The more extensive discussion centered on a complex application for 46 Marine Way in the Marina Historic District, which included requests for demolition of a rear accessory structure, vertical relocation and alteration of the historic residence, construction of an addition and pool, and several variances and waivers related to setbacks and building height. The board debated the project's compliance with historic preservation standards, FEMA flood elevation requirements, and neighborhood compatibility. After public comments and applicant presentations, the board voted to continue the project with direction to address massing, pool setback and barrier, and blank wall concerns. The meeting concluded with procedural updates and no legislative items. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the project approvals and conditions will influence future construction and preservation contracting activities in the city.
