Cemetery Fence on Table

Cemetery Fence on Table

Jim Hoy

The Community Redevelopment Agency tabled action on a cemetery fence, asking the Historic and Architecture Review Board to recommend a choice of style. Commissioner Heath Davis, who had been asked for a recommendation, suggested a wood fence to separate the Cedar Key Cemetery from the forthcoming Cemetery Point Park. Commissioners Sue Colson and Vanessa Edmunds expressed a preference for an aluminum simulated wrought iron fence, citing FEMA regulations and maintenance cost of a wood fence. Dr. John Andrews, of the HARB, questioned the choice of wood, adding that perhaps the HARB should be asked for a recommendation. HARB Chair George Sresovich responded, saying that the board could meet and make a recommendation before the next CRA meeting. Mayor Paul Oliver then suggested and received support for tabling the fence discussion.

In other CRA business, Consultant Gail Easley received approval of a $7500 contract to provide guidelines on historic properties. Architect Hal Reid received approval for hourly charges ($150 per hour) for oversight of the construction of City Park facilities. Commissioner Davis pointed out that Reid's charges include three hours travel time for a cost of $450.
