It has a primary roof system of deck- hipped roofs with clay barrel tiled slopes, and a secondary system consisting of a flat, parapeted, asphalt covered roof. Additional features are a two-story tower pavilion, an arcaded loggia, and an intact loading dock. Designed in 1926 by Gustav A. Maass, the structure has remained essentially unchanged, except for minor interior alterations. The building is significant for its part in the economic development of Deerfield Beach, and as a representative of an architectural style indelibly associated with Florida. Setting; The Old Seaboard Air Line Railway Station is located at 1300 West Hillsboro Boulevard in the City of Deerfield Beach, Broward County, Florida. The building is sited on a lot approximately two acres in size. It is about a mile south of the Broward/Palm Beach County line, and immediately southeast of the intersection of Hillsboro Boulevard and the main tracks of the CSX Transportation Corporation, which is about a quarter-mile west of Interstate 95. The site was originally rural in nature, being situated on a two lane road and surrounded by pines, palmettos, sabal palms, and produce sheds. There has been considerable infill since 1926, and the building now has no landscaping, being surrounded by an asphalt parking lot and commercial buildings. EXTERIOR The Old Seaboard Air Line Railway Station is a one-story rectangular building consisting of separate passenger and freight facilities. The foundation of the passenger station is a concrete slab, and the off-grade freight house is supported by concrete piers. The walls are constructed of load bearing tile with a surface of painted stucco. The rafter system is a wood truss and steel I-beam combination, which supports a variety of roof styles. The freight house features a parapeted, flat, built-up asphalt roof over four bays, while the northernmost bay has a deck-hipped roof with clay barreled tile slopes. The NM Pom 104004 ^•^ OM0 Approve/ No. 10844018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number _Z—— Page ——2__ Old Seaboard Air Line Railway Station decked roof of the passenger station has a flat deck of built-up asphalt, and a slope surfaced with terra cotta tile. Windows are mainly double-hung wood sash, and are found only on the north, east, and west elevations. The main (north) elevation is dominated by a loggia and two square pyramid-roofed towers rising above the roofline on the east and west elevations. The loggia, roofed with terra cotta tile, features three arches which open onto a passenger waiting area. The stucco relief inscription "Deerfield Beach Florida" is centered above the center arch. The western and central arches are in line with entrance doorways in the loggia's interior wall. Each doorway is topped by a centered, horizontal transom light. (See Photo 1) The west (trackside) elevation is dominated by a square, one-and-a-half story, pyramid roof tower with overhanging eaves, which rises above the former "white" entrance. (See Exterior Alterations and Restoration Status) The only decoration on the tower is a stucco molding surrounding a circular air vent. To the left (north) of the tower is the side of the loggia, consisting of two arches. Immediately to the right (south) of the tower is the three-windowed bay of the agent's office. The windows of the bay are shielded by decorative iron grillwork. Continuing south, the next feature is the door leading to the baggage room, which is protected by a simple bracketed overhang surfaced with clay tiles. The baggage room roof has overhanging eaves with wood brackets. The next section of building is the series of five freight bays. The bay doorways with their overhead-retracting, corrugated steel bay doors are boarded up. This elevated section is supported on concrete piers and has its original loading dock, which extends the length of the wing. A flat canopy roof overhangs the loading dock, and is supported by steel turnbuckles and cables which anchor into the parapeted wall of the building below the main roofline.

    via email: [email protected] PLANNING ARCHITECTURE INTERIOR DESIGN May 12, 2010 Nancy Muller Florida Housing Finance Corporation 227 North Bronough Street, Suite 5000 Tallahassee, Florida 32301 RE: FORUM’S COMMENTS ON “FLORIDA HOUSING DISCUSSION POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION FOR THE 2011 UNIVERSAL APPLICATION CYCLE” Dear Nancy, I attended the First Rule Development Workshop as well as a CAHP sub-committee meeting on April 29th in Orlando, both of which I found to be very informative and interesting. The meetings certainly gave us a much better feel for the Universal Application process and the difficulties FHFC faces moving forward. FORUM is an established industry leader in multifamily housing design, and we have been actively designing multi-family projects for 24 years throughout the country, although we are primarily focused in Florida. More than half of our 320+ multifamily developments are affordable projects. We work closely with many of Florida’s affordable housing developers, contractors and local housing authorities and we can provide constructive comments to some of the Discussion Points from this position of experience that we hope you will find valuable and insightful. Please find the attached comments gathered from the experienced staff at FORUM presented, per your request, for your consideration in establishing criteria for the revised 2011 Universal Application and beyond. Should you have any questions about our comments, or should you like any additional input, we are happy to assist you in any way that we can. Please feel free to contact me and thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this process.

  • Attachment 1 Transit Oriented Development and Affordable
    Attachment 1 Transit Oriented Development and Affordable Housing Policies Florida’s Work toward Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Guidelines In Florida, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Community Affairs have worked together to create a framework for TOD, and are working on guidelines for local governments that want to create transit-oriented communities. There are no specific state standards for an area to be considered as TOD; it is defined at the local level. At this point, DCA and DOT have developed a guide of best practices for TOD, based on the type of setting (urban, suburban, and rural). Their findings include the following national best practices for TOD: • ¼ to ½ mile radius around a transit station, the distance most pedestrians are willing to walk; • Optimize transit, walking and biking; reducing “vehicle miles traveled”; • High density, 24-hour live, work and recreate centers (connecting housing and jobs); and • Reduced parking requirements. Most state level planning recognizes the importance of affordable housing in TOD. The Florida draft guidelines acknowledge that TOD is conducive to affordable or workforce housing options, but that “land values increase around station areas, therefore if left to market conditions alone, maintaining the affordability of housing near TODs can be problematic over time1.” At the federal level, HUD and the Federal Transit Administration are collaborating to address this issue. The Government Accountability Office report on TOD and affordable housing notes that state housing finance agencies have an important role in encouraging the development of affordable housing near transit, including TODs. The final section of this paper includes information on specific TODs in Florida.

The first station was a simple boxcar located near Central Ave. Before train travel came to Deerfield, you’d have to take a horse and buggy to Chicago—or walk to the Highland Park train station. today appears it as station The Deerfield had long been a resting place for travelers between Chicago and Milwaukee. John Kinzie “Indian” Clark, would stop in the area on his Chicago-Milwaukee mail route, which followed Waukegan Rd., an old Native American trail. An early Deerfield settler, Lyman Wilmot, was an abolitionist whose home was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Wilmot’s son reflected on the hangec to the town the railroad brought, writing in a diary entry on New Year’s Eve, 1874: “Now as I write the shades of the last evening...are gathering fast, the sky is cloudy & as I look out of the east windows of the dining room & About the author see the smoke from the engine of a long freight train rising as a cloud as Dylan Zavagno is the Adult Services Coordinator at the Deerfield ublicP Library where he hosts the Deerfield the train rushes on up the grain, we are now in a living moving world & Public Library Podcast, featuring interviews authors, artists, and other notable people.

  • 2040 Southeast Florida Regional Transportation
    OCT 2015 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRWOMAN The Southeast Florida Region is the 4th most populous urbanized area in the United States. Our wide demographic diversity and immense geographic area provide a host of challenges and opportunities to promote a world class, integrated regional transportation system. Through our coordinated long range planning efforts, we have made great strides in identifying transportation facilities and services that will strengthen our region and the competitiveness of our nation as a whole at the global scale. This document builds on our previous efforts by laying out a 25-year plan for strategic regional transportation investments that will improve quality of life, maximize mobility options and promote a fiscally sustainable future. Through our outreach efforts, we know that a key to moving people is having a broad range of options suited to our resident’s range of mobility needs and economic circumstances. This plan will increase mobility options, including public transit, to provide our residents a wider variety of transportation options to meet their everyday needs. Projects like expanded commuter rail and express bus services make it easier for residents to cross jurisdictional boundaries without having to use their car. Extensive and expansive investments in bicycle and pedestrian facilities offer safe, green, and fit ways to travel for people of all ages and abilities. The substantial investments that we make in our freight terminals and logistics, rail, and highway networks will ensure optimum efficiency while mitigating potentially adverse impacts. Investments in a regional managed lane network further advance efficient movement of vehicles while reducing traffic congestion in a fiscally responsible manner.

    South Florida East Coast Corridor FINAL ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS REPORT October 2011 Federal Aid No. FTAX004 FTA Grant No. FL-90-X372-07 FM No. 417031-1-22-01 Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties, Florida Contract: C-8F66 2 SFECCTA Alternatives Analysis Report SOUTH FLORIDA EAST COAST CORRIDOR TRANSIT ANALYSIS Lead Agencies: Florida Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration Title of the Proposed Action: South Florida East Coast Corridor Transit Analysis ABSTRACT: This report documents the development and analysis of alternatives for implementing reliable, high quality transit in the 85-mile Florida East Coast corridor located in southeast Florida. The purpose of the project is to increase transit options for travel in southeast Florida, support the Eastward Ho! Initiative of the counties in the region, encourage redevelopment and economic growth in the coastal cities, and supplement the existing highway network. These goals were developed in cooperation with the counties, cities, metropolitan planning organizations, regional planning organizations, civic and business organizations, and the general public. The study has proceeded in two phases. The first phase led to the development of modally generic alternatives that were refined into four, specific modal alternatives in Phase 2, which is the subject of this report. These four alternatives: TSM, BRT, Integrated Rail “DMU”, and Integrated Rail “Push- Pull,” were defined and compared against both a No Build alternative and against each other. Each of these alternatives incorporates new transit service along the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) cor- ridor with existing transit service operated by each of the three counties in the region (Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade) and Tri-Rail.
