HISTORIC SURVEY - ESTIMATED COST TO EXPAND SURVEY TO INCLUDE <br />INCORPORATED AREAS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 3/15/89: <br />TO: James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: <br />Robert Keating, ICP, <br />Community Develo_ merl#-/ Director <br />FROM: Roland DeBlois.'"Ni) <br />Chief, Environmental Planning <br />DATE: March 15, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: ESTIMATED,COS-T TO EXPAND <br />HISTORICCSU#VEY TO INCLUDE <br />INCORPORATED AREAS OF <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />RE: TM 89-491 <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 March 28, 1989. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: <br />On November 1, 1988, the Board of County Commissioners voted to <br />authorize staff to enter into contract negotiations with Historic <br />Property Associates, Inc. for the purpose of conducting a survey <br />of historic resources in the unincorporated county. Subsequently, <br />on January 31, 1989, the Board authorized execution of the histor- <br />ic survey contract. <br />At the November 1, 1988 meeting the Board suggested that, once the <br />project is underway, staff look into the cost estimate to expand <br />the historic survey to include incorporated areas of the county, <br />and report back to the Board for funding availability conside- <br />rations. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: <br />In response to staff's request, Historic Property Associates, Inc. <br />has conducted a cursory "windshield" survey of the incorporated <br />communities of the county, in conjunction with the on-going survey <br />of unincorporated areas, to estimate the number of historic <br />buildings within the municipalities. <br />Based on the cursory survey, it is estimated that approximately <br />300 historic buildings exist in Vero Beach, 100 in Fellsmere, and <br />approximately 75 in Sebastian. <br />Using the figure of 475 buildings to estimate costs, the consul- <br />tants' estimate is $16,625.00. The staff feels that this amount <br />is reasonable and is less than would be charged if a separate <br />stand-alone survey was done. <br />31 <br />MAR 2. 1989 <br />BOOK. 76 f'AGE 471 <br />
