HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE Cabo Verde Tract (2)Dr. Parsons – I have another question related to the Cabo Verde tract
(BR 1936) in Cape Canaveral. First, let me spell out the issue and
share several observations.
On August 8, 2014, the City received the attached letter from the
Brevard County Historical Commission regarding its recommendation for
further archaeological analysis of the entire property on which the BR
1936 site is located. The impetus for the Commission’s letter is the
proposed development of the northeast portion of the Cabo Verde Tract,
adjacent to A1A.
The Commission indicates in its letter that the “2006 survey did not
test the entire property going to the east, towards Highway A1A.” This
is their justification for further analysis. However, in Section I.
Introduction, of the Cultural Resource Assessment Survey of the Cabo
Verde Tract (Study), which is attached, it states that the survey
includes a 10.61 acre property, between U.S. 1 and the Banana River.
Further, page 2 (Project Location Map) and page 5 (Soils Map) of the
Survey shows the project boundary, which includes the area from the
river to A1A (U.S. 1). In fact, page 21 of the Survey shows that
several sites (BR 1939 & BR 1940) on the extreme east end of the study
area, adjacent to A1A were evaluated.
My understanding is that no further investigation is required of the
10.61 acre Cabo Verde Tract prior to its development. Should any
research be conducted of the Cabo Verde Tract, it will be voluntary on
the part of the property owner. This understanding is largely based on
the position you articulate in your email below.
Now for my question…would you agree that no further investigation
within the 10.61 acre project area is required prior to its development?
Should you have any questions or would like to discuss this further,
please call me at (321)868-1221, ext. 11. Thank you for your assistance
with this. Dave

Yes, that is correct (though we recommend avoidance of the site
whenever possible). The exception would be if human remains or
significant amounts of archaeological material were to be uncovered
during development. At that point, Ch. 872.05 requires consultation
with the Division regarding human remains, and most state/federal
permits contain conditions requiring notification if archaeological
material is discovered.
Any research that takes place at this point is voluntary, would be a
collaboration between the property owner and the researcher(s), and does
not involve DHR. Though, if any archaeological work does take place, we
would be pleased to receive an updated Site File form and a copy of the
report for our records.

Dr. Parsons - Thank you for your quick response. My understanding of
your email is that if a site has been determined to be ineligible for
listing, the State will not require protective measures be taken during
its development. And, any further investigation or protection once a
finding of ineligible has been made, will be voluntary on the part of
the property owner. Is that correct? Thanks! Dave

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.
