The Boca Grande Historic Preservation Board will meet at 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 9, at St. Andrew’s Chapter House to review the following four special certificates of appropriateness:

Proposed rehabilitation of the Robinette East House at 1140 11th St. W., including replacing the flat roof with a low-angle roof, removing and altering the windows and doors and replacing an enclosed lanai with a roofed open porch. These changes aim to restore elements of the home’s original 1942 Florida Ranch-style design by removing non-historic additions while also improving the structure’s overall durability.

Request to add fencing to each side of the existing entry gate at 240 Gilchrist Ave., with materials to match the existing gate.

Proposal to install a 100-foot-long, 4-foot-high frangible privacy fence at 211 Banyan St., along the west property line where it adjoins the Promenade accessway that runs along the seawall from 1st St. W. to 4th St. W.

Request to install new perimeter fencing and a carport at 1121 11th St. W. These additions aim to improve the functionality of the property while maintaining the architectural character of the historic 1929 home and surrounding neighborhood.
