Keat ng, CP <br />Director, Pla ning & Development <br />THRU: Gary M. Schindler e*101W <br />Chief, Long -Range Planning <br />FROM: David C. NearingAeo REFERENCES: <br />Staff Planner, Long -Range Planning <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their <br />regular meeting of December 1, 1987. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />The Florida Department of State, on behalf of the Federal <br />Department of Interior, is soliciting applications for Federal <br />grants-in-aid for historic preservation projects. This is the <br />same type of program for which the County unsuccessfully <br />submitted an application last October for state funds. As with <br />last October's program, the Bureau of Historic Preservation is <br />encouraging applications which propose to develop preservation <br />elements (or preservation components of coastal management, <br />future land use, and housing elements) of Local Government. <br />Comprehensive Plans. The Bureau is also giving priority to <br />projects which cover relatively large,• poorly surveyed <br />geographic areas, such as Indian River County. <br />The October submittal was ranked number 22 by the selection <br />committee; however, only the first 21 were funded. The State <br />Bureau staff has encouraged the County _to resubmit for the <br />Federal program. <br />As a result of the recent planning legislation enacted by the <br />State, Indian River County must incorporate historic and <br />archaeological concerns in its required comprehensive plan. <br />Chapter 9J-5 of the Florida Administrative Code, entitled <br />"Minimum Criteria for Review of Local Government Comprehensive <br />Plans and Determination of Compliance," requires that the <br />County address identification, designation, and protection of <br />historically significant properties in various elements of the <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />The funds available from the subject grant program would enable <br />the County to undertake required historic preservation <br />activities. As such, these funds would complement grant funds <br />being provided to the County from the Department of Community <br />Affairs for comprehensive planning activities. <br />. 3 KOK 70 PAGE 195 <br />DEC 1 <br />
