1993. Design Guidelines Manual for the Boca Grande Historic District in Lee County, Florida; Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, New Construction and Remodeling of Non-Historic Buildings. Lee County Historic Preservation Board; Division of Historical Resources, Florida Department of State
From introduction: "Lee County's Historic Preservation Ordinance (No. 88-62) provides for the designation of those sites, buildings and districts that contribute to the cultural heritage of Lee County, southwest Florida, State of Florida or the nation. In June of 1990, the Lee County Historic Preservation Board voted to designate the Boca Grande Historic District (Designation No. HD 90-05-01 District). In Lee County's historic districts, there are two types of designated properties: contributing and non-contributing. Contributing buildings are those that are historic, are exceptionally designed, or are directly associated with the historical period of that district. Non-contributing buildings are generally those structures built after the historical period of the district. Certain regulations apply to the issuance of building, moving or demolition permits for designated properties Within historic districts. For instance, all building, moving and demolition permit applications within districts, whether for alterations to contributing buildings or new construction, can only be submitted after a Certificate of Appropriateness (CA) has been issued... Although the Lee County Historic Preservation Ordinance does not require adherence to any particular architectural ·style, it does encourage respect for the general qualities and characteristics that make Boca Grande's architecture unique. A few of these qualities and characteristics are massing, roof form, material and trim, fenestration, texture and color. These qualities and characteristics are explored within this document." Funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the Florida State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
