3. Old Business None
4. New Business
a. Discussion: Designation of Cedar Key¹s Historic District¹, reference Cedar Key Comprehensive Plan, Map 10-1
Chair Weiland explained that he thought from the maps he saw that the historic district contained all historic buildings. However the actual district is indicated in red on the Plan map 10-1. Thus includes an area marked in red from 3rd Street to 1st Street. Other buildings that stand out
in cross hatching are historic but not included in the district designated by the Plan map. He was in error and the hearing for today for the application by Phillip Hammond for an addition does not need to go through
the Historic Preservation Board. Dr. Andrews has a list of contributing structures and the building under consideration is not one of them. This was the black community area in the 20¹s, 30¹s and 40¹s and does contain many historic structures marked as such. He suggested that in building the
addition they comply with FEMA regulations. He urged them to make it as compatible as possible with the surrounding buildings, but they cannot direct him to do this since they do not have jurisdiction in this matter.
Member Tyson and Chair Weiland agreed and struck item 4c. from their agenda. Mr. Jesse Jones, who is acting as consultant to Mr. Hammond and the framer for the addition, said he will try to keep it as low as possible. He will be
working on other buildings in the area and wanted some direction about where to apply. They confirmed that if it is a contributing house¹ it must come before the Historical Board. Otherwise it is reviewed by the Building Department.
Greg Lang, Chair of the Cedar Key Planning Board, added that UF, the consultant group and the CK Planning Board are looking at the historic district. There may be changes to add or expand it.

He offered to the Board, the LPA the Core Visioning Committee to share the reasons for the way the plan is written at a time convenient to them.
