At its August 20, 2019 meeting, the City Commission approved Resolution 19-150 authorizing the City Manager to accept a grant in the amount of $50,000 to conduct an Intensive Level Architectural Resource Survey that commenced in November 2019. Grant funds were provided from the Florida Department of State’s Division of Historical Resources.
Grant funds were used to hire a historic preservation consultant firm, Erica Mollon Consulting, to organize and conduct the Intensive Level Architectural Resource Survey in selected areas of the City. For this project, the neighborhoods of Colee Hammock, Breakwater Beach Surf Club Homes, Harbour Isles, La Quintana Manor, Shady Banks, Tarpon River, and Victoria Park were selected based on the findings from a previous 2018 Reconnaissance-Level survey. That survey identified priority areas within each neighborhood based on the concentration of historic resources. Using those highlighted areas, Erica Mollon Consulting prioritized the identification of potential historic districts within each neighborhood and identified potential individual resources in nearby locations.
