1INTRODUCTION Purpose Historic sites, buildings, and structures serve as visual reminders of a community’s social and cultural history. Preservation of these resources fosters civic pride and strengthens the economy of a community by stabilizing and improving property values. On ____ __, 2010, the City of Melbourne established the Eau Gallie Historic District, the first historic district in the City (see Map 1). The Eau Gallie district is significant for its collection of early twentieth century architecture, including one structure listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and for its role in the City’s development history. The purpose of this document is to create a guide for the rehabilitation/expansion of existing historic structures, as well as new construction. The intent is to assist property owners on preserving the historic context of the Eau Gallie historic district. Whenever a property is rehabilitated or expanded, it is important to ensure the design is sensitive to the historic fabric of the neighborhood. Similarly, new construction should be harmonious with the character of the district. The guidelines are based upon the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, which are the national benchmark for preservation. The basic philosophy of those standards define rehabilitation as, “the process of returning a property to a state of utility through repair or alteration which makes possible an efficient contemporary use while preserving those portions and features of the property which are significant to its historic, architectural and cultural values.” The standards allow for a thoughtful process that respects the original character of each historic building while allowing for orderly change.
