HomeMy WebLinkAboutFW Cabo Verde Tract (3)Mr. Greene – In response to the October 8, 2014 letter from the Brevard
County Historical Commission, the email below was solicited from Dr. Tim
Parsons, with the Florida Department of Historical Resources.
In its letter, the Historical Commission suggests a “more complete
archaeological survey needs to be conducted on the entire property.”
This is based on the Commission’s position that the “2006 survey did not
test the entire property going to the east, towards Highway A1A.”
However, Dr. Parsons indicates that “No further investigation is
required or requested by the state in the area covered by the survey
report, because the area was previously surveyed to Florida standards…”
The following map was taken from the referenced 2006 survey indicating
the surveyed area, which runs from the Banana River to A1A, and from
Holman Road to Cape Shores. It is apparent, and is confirmed by Dr.
Parsons, that no further investigation is required within the surveyed
area, which includes the proposed Cumberland Farms site.
I appreciate the Historical Commission’s concern regarding possible
resources; however, the Florida DHR has deemed the site not eligible
for listing and has repeatedly indicated that no further study is needed
or required.
Please let me know if you have further questions.

Good afternoon,
No further investigation is required or requested by the state in the
area covered by the survey report, because the area was previously
surveyed to Florida standards as part of a permit application process
(pursuant to Ch. 267 and 373, Florida Statutes). I can’t speak to local
(county, city, etc.) requirements. Based on the information that we
have, it seems that the entire tract was surveyed. That said, I have
not seen the boundary/project area for the proposed project, so it is
possible that part of the project area remains surveyed if it is not
contiguous with the surveyed area in the report.
Best,
Tim
