HomeMy WebLinkAboutFW Cabo Verde Tractfyi From: Parsons, Timothy A. [mailto:Timothy.Parsons@dos.myflorida.com] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2014 1:06 PM To: David Dickey Cc: Todd Morley; David Greene Subject: RE: Cabo Verde Tract Good afternoon, BR1936 is the only archaeological site recorded as part of the 2006 survey of the Cabo Verde Tract. The site was evaluated as ineligible for listing on the National Register at that time, as I noted in my letter to Mr. Osborne in 2013. Unless a state or federal permit (Water Management District, Corps of Engineers, DEP) will be necessary for the development, no further review by the Division of Historical Resources is required under law. If a permit is required, we will review it for impacts to eligible sites pursuant to Ch. 267, Florida Statutes, and/or Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Since the site was determined to be ineligible in 2006, it is unlikely that my office would request any specific course of action as regards the preservation or investigation of the site. That said, we obviously have no objection to further investigation of the site before it is destroyed, as long as such a project involves a professional archaeologist and proceeds with the permission of the landowner. It is not unusual for human remains to be present at archaeological sites in Volusia County (and along this stretch of coast generally). If human remains were to be encountered during development regardless of eligibility status, all work must stop and notification procedures to law enforcement and the State Archaeologists office must be followed pursuant to Ch. 872.05, Florida Statutes. I hope that this has been helpful. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions.

Cc: Todd Morley; David Greene Subject: Cabo Verde Tract Dr. Parsons – by way of this email I would request your assistance in determining the status of the Cabo Verde Tract (BR 1936) that is within the city limits of Cape Canaveral. The City has received a development application for a site that may include a portion(s) of the Cabo Verde Tract. As part of the City’s due diligence, we are reaching out to your office to: 1- determine what resources are on the site; 2- if these resources are of a quality to warrant preservation; and, if so, 3 - what measures are required by the State to protect these resources. In the attached letter you indicate that site BR 1936 is ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places. I have also included a letter (below) from Mr. Frederick Gaske, with the State Historic Preservation Office, dated June 1, 2006, where he states his office concurs with the finding by Environmental Services, Inc. that development of the Cabo Verde site “will have no effect on cultural resources listed or eligible to be listed in the NRHP, or otherwise of historical, architectural, or archeological value.” Thank you for your assistance with this matter and I look forward to hearing from you.
