I
Fretow, Inc. is appealing Resolution HC 87-189 by which the Heritage Conservation
Board denied the application by Fretow to paint the Freedom Tower in a 1955 paint
scheme.
The Planning Department and the Heritage Conservation Officer have no recom>Aended
preference as between the 1926 and 1951 paint color schemes for the Freedom Tower,
both being equally acceptable under the Secretary of the Interior's "Standards
for Rehabilitation". The two color schemes are virtually indistinguishable.
Attached is the supporting material.

RE: Freedom Tower
Dear Mr. McManus:
By way of this letter, we are appealing to the city
commission to reverse a decision of the City of Miami
Heritage Conservation Board. At their meeting on September
3, 1987, the Heritage Conservation Board voted to deny a
Certificate of Appropriateness for the facade restoration
of the Freedom Tower. Their reason for denial was not
consistent with the guidelines within the City of Miami
Heritage Conservation ordinance. ,
The Heritage Conservation ordinance requires that the
.basis for issuing a Certificate of Appropriateness, the des—
cribed work shall comply with the U.S. Secretary of the
Interior's "Standards For Rehabilitation". The work we are
proposing complies precisely with the Secretary of the
Interior's "Standards For Rehabilitation". This has been
documented by the staff to the Heritage Conservation Board
and a collateral letter from the State Preservation Office.
Also, we have enclosed, for your review, a copy of a portion
of the Secretary of the Interior's "Standards" and that
portion of the Heritage Conservation ordinance that relates
to this situation.
Our application requested approval for the following:
1. Replace the existing aluminum awning windows in
the tower portion with new aluminum double hung windows
to match the configuration and color of the original
windows.

2. Clean, repair, repoint, and waterproof the
existing cast stone at the base of the tower.
3. Paint the stucco portion of the building body
to match the color that the building has been since
1951, when the entire building exterior structure was
rehabilitated.
4. Paint the simulated cast stone above the building
base to match a synthesized color of the cast stone
found at the base of the tower.
5. Restore, and repair the copper cupolas on the
top portion of the tower.
The Secretary of the Interior's "Standards" states
"All buildings, structures and sites shall be recognized as
products of their own time, and changes which may have taken
place in the course of time are evidence of the history and
development of a building, structure, or site and its
environment. These changes may have acquired significance
in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized
and respected." This pertains precisely to this project. We
are proposing to restore the facade of the Freedom Tower to
the overlapping period that covered both the Miami News
Building and the Freedom Tower. In our opinion this is the
most appropriate program for this building.
Thank you for your consideration.

The Secretary of the Interior is responsible for establishing standards for all
pro ram under I eseevatlan of hDc eproperia eslistted or fe"gibiedvft using wdNausea!
Register of Historic Places. In partial ful.Mn ent of this eesp Wulbility, the
Swetary of the Interior's Standards for Historic P'resecvatlon Projects hive been
developed to direct work undertaken on historic buildings,
Initially used by the Secretary of the Interior in determining the applicability of
propaed project work on registered properties within the Historic Preservation Fund
granatn-aid program, the Standards for Historic Preservation Projects have received
extensive testing over the years -more than 40M acquisition and de011:1 11
projects were approved for a variety of work treaunents. In addition, the Standards
have been used by Federal agencies In carrying out their historic preseevat3an
responsibLLlttes for properties In Federal ownership or controls and by State and Tool
officials In the review of both Federal and nonfederal rehabilitation proposals. They
have also been adopted by a number of historic district and planning connmisskm
across the country.
The Standarda for Rehabilitation (36 CPR 67) comprise that section of the overall
historic preservation project standards addressing the most prevalent tiresnnestt
today: Rehabilitation. "Rehabilitations" Is defined as the process ad repay a
peoperty to a :rate of utility, drough repair car alteratio % vtAch makes passible as
efficient eontesnpoeary use while preserving these portions and features of the
Propel ty which an significant to its historic, architectual, and cultural vniham
The Standards for Rehabilitation are as follows:
L Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property
which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and Its
environment, or to use a property for Its originally Intended purpose.
2. The distingulshing original qualities or dwacter of a bu UdW& str ctwe, or sltk-
and Its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic
material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.
3. All. buildbhgs, structure% and sites shall be recopd=d as products of their vrw
time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier
appearances shall be discouraged.

Based on the further information provided during our conversation
of this afternoon, the color scheme proposed would appear to be fully
appropriate. I agree that it would be beneficial for the Heritage
Conservation Board to have an opportunity to see a sample of the
colors applied to the building. There would be no better way to
demonstrate the appropriateness of the colors selected.
If we may be of further assistance, please call.

RE; Color Scheme, Miami News Building (Freedom Toner), Miami
Dear Les,
Thank you for your letter and color scheme submission for the Freedom
Tower. As I indicated during our telephone conversation, as long as the
colors selected are generally sympathetic to the historic character of the
building, this aspect of the proposed project will be consistent with the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
In terms of compliance with the requirements of the federal rehabilita-
tion tax incentives program, the color scheme described in your submission
would be acceptable. However, because of the historic and architectural
significance and visual prominence of the Freedom Tower, we strongly recommend
that the new color scheme more accurately reflect the historic colors than the
scheme presented.
Of particular concern is the color to be applied to ornamental cast stone.
Photographic documentation in our files indicates that the color depicted on
the rendered elevation in your submission more closely replicates the visual
character of the cast stone than the color chip presented. We recomstsend that
You reevaluate this color selection. In the standard raim palette, color
number 344 would appear to be a closer match to the color of the cast stone.
The color selected for plain stucco wall surfaces is considered acceptable.
In the absence of the original wood windows and in light of the dark sash
color indicated by historic photographs, the window color you suggest is
reasonable.
The glass in the new windows should be clear. Tinted or reflective glass
types are considered inappropriate for rehabilitation projects involving historic
buildings.

Re:Frsedom Tower
Sarah:
Plesse find attached to the enclosed Application For Certificate
of Appropriateness paint samples that were submitted to Mr. David
Ferro for his review. The color we are proposing for the building
j body mstch the color of the tinted stucco that was applied to
the building during the structural rehabilitation in 1951. We
1 ars proposing to paint the cost stone only on the tower and cupids
portion of the building only, because the cast atone has been
exto Wively patched and previously painted in these area.
The color attached to the application is the color Mr. Ferro
suggested for the cast stone. I can not sp with is suggestion
a it does not even come class to the color of cast stone. The
color I have suggested represents a synthesis of all the color
variations found in the test atone at the building base.
The balcony deck at the 14th floor will be restored tc match
' the original finish,. which is quarry tile. If requested, a detail
will be presented at the meeting.
The request for submitting a copy of original drawing can only
be a complied with the stipulation that they be returned to this
office within one week. Copies of the original Schultz and Weaver
drswinga were going to the owners on the stipulation that they
would not be reproduced.
