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.
Best,
Tim

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. If it would be helpful, I can be available for a
phone conference at any time.
