City staff reminded the board that the item had been before the board previously and that the owner is Vincent Marcelino and the applicant is Monique Neal. Staff said the property is a non-contributing lot in the Macon Park historic district; the proposal is for a new 1,482-square-foot single-family home on a 0.17-acre vacant lot, zoned R-4 (residential, medium density).

The rehearing focused on conditions the board previously placed on the project: installation of shutters and a faux window on a side elevation. Applicant Monique Neal asked the board to remove the shutter condition and allow “bands” (banding) around windows instead. Neal said, “That’s all we’re asking for,” referring to substituting bands for shutters.

During discussion, a city staff presenter said the board and planning staff are pursuing updated architectural standards and encouraged elements such as porches and street-facing interaction in new construction within historic districts. Staff said the new citywide standards were adopted earlier in the year and that the application review parameters have changed; staff said these standards are intended to promote porches and other features that enhance neighborhood character and interaction with the street and acknowledged applicant resistance to some elements.

Board members and staff also discussed process issues: staff said it would be helpful to meet designers earlier — before full building plans are prepared — so developers understand district expectations and avoid cost and schedule impacts when changes are later requested. When asked about landscaping, staff said that at plan stage the project will be required to include four trees under city code.

After discussion, the board moved to approve the design as presented. The vote was unanimous among members present.

The board’s action covers design review; required building permits and any further compliance checks remain subject to normal permitting and plan-review processes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Fort Pierce - Historic Preservation Board - Jun 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At a June 23 rehearing, the Fort Pierce Historic Preservation Board approved Certificate of Appropriateness PZCOA202508 for a new single-family home at 511 North Fourteenth Street after the applicant sought to remove a condition requiring shutters and a faux side window.","taxTitle","Fort Pierce, St. Lucie County, Florida","taxId",55008,"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},6514002,"Fort Pierce board approves certificate of appropriateness for 524 N. 15th St.",386,104000,490000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5065453-b30e724f0cdc0d07f894707688293438&start=104&end=490","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5065453-b30e724f0cdc0d07f894707688293438/thumbnail_104000.jpg","/articles/6514002/Fort-Pierce/St-Lucie-County/Florida/Fort-Pierce-board-approves-certificate-of-appropriateness-for-524-N-15th-St","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514002-75bafa08e18375726c8a117007334c4c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770897092&Signature=RSslbaZua02ShWi4FmSXWNcdh857bWd1y~mN7uN126ImNY8372gfVeIdhmvpCSHjjtj37HitLrS01j4G8Xbqy7HjaRRWnkgd6xpMXzInqiHvWUQJyeuKMMiwvunxfmRmGW8k0nGqp3Pr8~oyV8niGweCuIkHWepTwF7sqpAXR3E-OM4jYxRywpKmaX7TVORWaGIXjVoUmWDcqWlIBqZRMNYgkbY7qYFer~LQnBm-pdfZ-jIVXp7sh5pN4ut98CU1z0icUlYi2Z~zftHMpA~6gIseDKsMdbx5y9jCD34PqEr0blC~~GrHhNbIqTClq4EwvcG2btaUa87xepDmRJJpTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fort Pierce Historic Preservation Board on Monday, June 23, voted to approve Certificate of Appropriateness PZCOA2517 for a single-family residence at 524 North Fifteenth Street.

City staff presented the application and recommended approval with conditions to ensure the new construction visually aligns with surrounding properties in the historic district. During the quasi-judicial hearing the clerk confirmed notice requirements had been met, and board members disclosed no ex parte communications.

No members of the public spoke on the item. After a brief staff presentation and the board’s procedural disclosures, a motion to approve the certificate with staff recommendations carried without opposition.

The board’s action was procedural and limited to design review; the approval does not itself authorize building permits, which must follow the city’s permitting process.","The Fort Pierce Historic Preservation Board on June 23 approved Certificate of Appropriateness PZCOA2517 for a new single-family residence at 524 North 15th Street, voting unanimously to accept staff recommendations including matching the new roof to the existing residence.","actionData","errors"]
