Nicole Tremblay, senior planner, briefed the board on the proposed edits. Tremblay said the changes “give the board the authority to make decisions on alterations to alterations, additions, and renovations for properties that are in the local register.” She told members the edits also allow the board to “seek other expertise for National Register nominations” and remove language describing appeals to the historical resources manager because the board’s decisions would be appealed to counsel.

Tremblay noted the practical effect: the historical resources manager (HRM) would review properties and prepare materials, but the Historic Architectural Preservation Board (HAPB) would be the decision authority for certificates of appropriateness. She and board members discussed a narrowly scoped interpretation to avoid bringing before the board projects that are not stylistically relevant to the historic district.

Chair Beebe and members discussed using a chair-level consultation with the HRM for borderline cases; Tremblay described a procedure under which staff could consult the chair or HRM before referring a project to a public hearing. Board members said that approach would “save the board’s time” when a structure’s style was “not historically significant.”

Matt (city staff/legal representative) reminded the board that if they approve more-restrictive changes, state law currently limits municipalities from adopting more restrictive regulations until 2026; the board acknowledged that some proposed changes might need to be held pending that state limitation.

Jean Trammell moved “to request staff to initiate the LDR text amendment petition for the changes to chapter 88 section 7 as presented.” Greg seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously; there were no recorded nays. Staff will begin the formal LDR amendment process, including drafting ordinance language and presenting required materials to planning commission and city council as applicable.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Venice - Historic and Architectural Preservation Board on 2025-05-22 9:00 AM - May 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Venice Historic Preservation Board unanimously voted to ask staff to initiate a Land Development Regulation text amendment to Chapter 88, Section 7, which would change decision authority for certificates of appropriateness and other items from the historical resources manager to the Historic Architectural Preservation Board and adjust related, ","taxTitle","Venice, Sarasota County, Florida","taxId",56285,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6703079,"Venice historic board closes nominations, moves to rank 2025 Legacy Award nominees",606,253000,859000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3472811-e99041f989c4f70b4a29e3feb219f2bd&start=253&end=859","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3472811-e99041f989c4f70b4a29e3feb219f2bd/thumbnail_253000.jpg","/articles/6703079/Venice/Sarasota-County/Florida/Venice-historic-board-closes-nominations-moves-to-rank-2025-Legacy-Award-nominees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6703079-02dc49199e18e5110efc463281e3187b/orig.mp4?Expires=1775419059&Signature=Hs~wb8UPm433gZ1pKUinv56mMKNRbp6RfT3Lmb15xKK4O4f0TaT-nFIP0eLwvnk71XTkM6MevjoVKVizQ3t-OQNyVmd2nb8Vzg71x6UWoWC-~b4BNiE0JyfQIUC8AZhE5v4StjTI4Cb-bYt3Tx262WWT-US8LciBH5PqbcGC3tqCyGWet9H3Wmol3fw6MMwWjXTA1lx3QH7GBRcvF2wMw0LcVZE7peqFJAlA73stQGDLmfRbkdLGPaqWfJviwr4CbRpwLQJp7AJvWDRqDCUxI8YHV966nbQ9gWjdXeWGaRjEYypr1lGg4ZLNnvMXbpj3IZzrjvuTb1sxbmd29-aLcA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Venice Historic Preservation Board voted unanimously to proceed with the nominees it has received for the 2025 Legacy Award and directed the city clerk to compile ranking sheets for all board members to complete before the next meeting.

The board met at 9 a.m. and heard from Harry Klinkhammer, the city’s historical resources manager, who told members he had handed out “2 late nominations that came in for the Legacy Award, after the agenda was posted.” Klinkhammer said he also compiled a recommendation list from names suggested by board members and one citizen.

The board discussed extending the nomination period to get a larger candidate pool, but members agreed the nominees on hand were strong and that the clerk should distribute ranking sheets so absent members can participate. Amanda (city clerk) explained the process: she will email applications and ranking sheets, accept returned rankings by phone or paper, and present totals at the next meeting.

John (board member) moved “to proceed with the applicants that have been received and allow city clerk to compile a list in order for the board to rank them accordingly.” Jean Trammell seconded the motion. The board recorded the vote as unanimous; there were no nays.

Board members named in discussion included Chair Beebe and Jean Trammell. Klinkhammer confirmed two late formal applications were for Ralph Twitchell and a nominee listed as Earl Bidlow; an additional application from a Mr. Midlam (received late) was also added to the packet. The board agreed those materials and the compiled rankings will be discussed at the next regular meeting.

The board also approved minutes from its April 24 meeting by voice vote. Jean Trammell moved to approve the minutes and John seconded; the motion passed unanimously.

The board did not adopt additional eligibility criteria at this meeting and asked staff to gather any further information board members want before final selection.","The Venice Historic Preservation Board voted unanimously to proceed with the applicants received for the 2025 Legacy Award and to have the city clerk compile ranking sheets for all board members to return before the next meeting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6703073,"Board discusses guidance for impact windows and code enforcement for damaged tile roofs",510,1588000,2098000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3472811-e99041f989c4f70b4a29e3feb219f2bd&start=1588&end=2098","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3472811-e99041f989c4f70b4a29e3feb219f2bd/thumbnail_1588000.jpg","/articles/6703073/Venice/Sarasota-County/Florida/Board-discusses-guidance-for-impact-windows-and-code-enforcement-for-damaged-tile-roofs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6703073-f5653c02c9151a161c377aafebd8747e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775419059&Signature=g4xdQT4Nx941bc20ikAtXXXCk4qiBZzggmjiutonbsLjPdYkyKtDzyXLRssSWJ5ShruGIpCMYCMcxgh9zQd2x0w28OG~jMy-7IWGVpkOd8ZpTf-hfExCKXLPSsZSR7lGrL5vdOYFFAXiywm01UYxFw5pfqAFP01gOxj4DETx7ysq5mTzxkCS9PMJ0Gf18zwo6KAevPLPxfNaMU33OrH4CnAAYP-0mVf2EFLgFg77AhTBJw9-EtMpvvhy3UXgVpq0dIOdvgtGa-fmiiY6YBQ-f2G6KWYZE-IuhgRv7PegmooWUtgcHkSHr~kSScgW1l8PLppvPz5Ct64IyWjm5AG6Wg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Venice Historic Preservation Board discussed concerns about recent wholesale replacement of windows in the historic district with contemporary impact glazing that does not visually replicate historic divided‑light windows, and they raised separate concerns about unrepaired tile roofs damaged by recent storms.

Board member John (board member) summarized the problem: modern impact windows typically use a single sheet of laminated glass and applied muntins that lack the exterior depth and shadow lines of historic divided‑light sashes. He said the board’s guidelines currently do not give contractors or homeowners enough direction on muntin placement or profile, which can result in replacements that are “visually incomprehensible to what historic window was.”

Nicole Tremblay, senior planner, said the board’s current rules treat smaller changes as “minor” and explained that fewer than three altered items do not require bringing the whole façade into compliance. She suggested the board might develop an interpretation or guidance—rather than a code change at first—so staff and the chair can decide whether some window changes should be referred for full review.

Board members stressed the need to avoid imposing requirements that would force homeowners into unobtainable or prohibitively expensive custom windows. One member said many manufacturers can meet impact standards but the board should study “what manufacturers actually can produce” so the city does not require proprietary or unavailable products.

Separately, members raised storm-damage concerns: missing or broken roof tiles have left some properties with precarious tiles and visible damage. Staff and the city legal representative noted code enforcement under Chapter 2 of the city ordinances governs property maintenance; enforcement typically focuses on whether a roof is weather‑tight and whether tarps or permits are in place. Harry Klinkhammer noted that roof tiles are primarily aesthetic and the watertight barrier is the underlayment, but prolonged exposure can degrade underlayment and create functional problems.

No formal motions were taken; board members asked staff to draft guidance and to research manufacturer capabilities and code-enforcement options so the board can consider concrete amendments in a future meeting.","Board members urged staff to draft guidance or code revisions to ensure impact windows installed in historic districts better replicate historic divided‑light appearance and asked staff to explore code enforcement options for unrepaired tile roofs after recent storms.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6703067,"Staff updates: state grant ranking for surveys, FY27 grant application, and adaptive reuse at Lord Heigl House",229,2475000,2704000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3472811-e99041f989c4f70b4a29e3feb219f2bd&start=2475&end=2704","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3472811-e99041f989c4f70b4a29e3feb219f2bd/thumbnail_2475000.jpg","/articles/6703067/Venice/Sarasota-County/Florida/Staff-updates-state-grant-ranking-for-surveys-FY27-grant-application-and-adaptive-reuse-at-Lord-Heigl-House","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6703067-ac977e07146b184255230937ae06781f/orig.mp4?Expires=1775419059&Signature=n9rpQyX7FmiqdUQtlUw8aZrp2zY2RUy-ytrNWV75ql7t7DBjoYlkymVxhqCMHHZsx4GVfAV7uAujQeiXv2UOU5S2DGtj9sQuOsf8HzEaHMPiocJsPoyywuEMVhe3Fago2IxwQwoSATCpCLaNwVrftMRt1q9smmKTnPvCW~x3yl7rJfF8FnLFQPjJ5WyCfAa-wNyJiC3FaqLwpk6iJn7k9PgJmpD9AuR77kMCLLnnkt8ARpFNP30aiRxUOLnknRwOVJrDcSd8Hc8xQg4BsVxOkB2PXy6Tu~IdI~8Gm4rASaoHT3BlTvmvZa82dE3TYJoXosh97C43ZR-Om0lOktB3CA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Venice Historic Preservation Board they are awaiting the state’s final budget decision on funding for a historic resources survey and that they are preparing a FY27 grant application for additional surveys.

Harry Klinkhammer, the historical resources manager, said the city’s project for a Seaboard and Edgewood historic resources survey ranked 32 out of 76 projects submitted to the state and that “the way the budget is kind of falling, it looks like, you know, there's a good chance we will get the funding.” He added the city is preparing a FY27 grant application to survey Golden Beach and Gulf Shores (defined as roughly from Aldi Amarr down to the airport and from Harbor Drive to the Gulf).

Klinkhammer also updated the board on the lease of the Lord Heigl House to a business lessee. He said staff met with the lessees and discussed balancing the business plan with historical interpretation; he told members the lessees are aware the building is on the local register and that any exterior changes would be subject to the board’s review (or HRM review until any ordinance changes take effect).

Klinkhammer announced a ribbon cutting for the former Bessey Museum building scheduled for June 5 at 9 a.m. He said the lessees indicated no planned exterior alterations beyond minor items such as signage; staff described the lessees as “strong historic preservationists” with experience owning historic properties in St. Augustine.

Board members welcomed the updates and expressed support for adaptive reuse of locally registered structures. No votes or formal directions were recorded on these items; staff will continue grant tracking and coordination with the lessees.","Staff reported a favorable ranking for a state-funded historic resources survey and described a FY27 grant application for additional surveys; staff also updated the board on the lease and adaptive reuse plans for the Lord Heigl House and a June ribbon-cutting for the Bessey Museum building.","actionData","errors"]
