Sarasota's La Palme Royale was built in the 1920's and currently is used as a bed and breakfast establishment.
SARASOTA - A group opposing the demolition of a historic bed and breakfast will be able to carry on their fight without paying a hefty fee to the city.
The City Commission on Monday waived a $1,000 fee for three people seeking to appeal the Sarasota Historic Preservation Board's approval of the demolition of La Palme Royale, at 624 S. Palm Ave.
The owners of La Palme Royale, Kristen and Tim Beury, want to have the house demolished to clear the way for an 18-story condo. For the past several years, they have operated the bed and breakfast in a house built in the the 1920s and designated a historic property partly because of its association with turn-of-the-century developer Owen Burns and his wife.
The preservation board, after a public hearing last month, approved the demolition. But Sarasota attorney Emma Joels told commissioners on Monday that she and two other residents want to appeal that decision, and argued that they should not have to pay more than $1,000 in fees, plus costs, to do so. Joels argued that the city had no legal basis for charging the fee, and that it was unfair.
Joels is a vice president at Westwater Construction, Inc., a builder of luxury, waterfront homes in Sarasota. A.M. Hochstadt, another of the residents opposing the demolition, owns property across the street from La Palme Royale, where he has made plans to build a hotel.
Joels gained the attention of commissioners by pointing out that the owners of the bed and breakfast did not have to pay a fee to request permission for the demolition. And yet, Joels said, she was asked for a hefty fee to appeal it.
Vice Mayor Susan Chapman said she questioned whether the policy was fair, or what was intended when the city code was written. I'm just wondering if there's a glitch in the code, she said.
City Attorny Bob Fournier said city staff were properly applying the city code, and there was no legal basis for deciding whether to waive the fee or not. You could really go either way on this, he said.
The City Commission voted unanimously to waive the fee for Joels and the two other residents who had joined with her in appeal, and to ask city staff to prepare a revision of the code. The revision could require a fee to request demolition of a historic building.

THAT'S THE SOUND OF PROGRESS. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, "WHAT GOES UP, MUST COME DOWN." CREWS STARTED TEARING DOWN A LONG TIME FIXTURE IN DOWNTOWN ORLANDO, PIECE BY PIECE. BUT THEY ARE SALVAGING THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE PART OF THE BUILDING, THANK GOODNESS. THE AMERICAN FEDERAL BUILDING, ALSO KNOWN AS THE ROUND BUILDING, HAS BEEN A PART OF DOWNTOWN SINCE THE EARLY 1960'S. THE DEMOLITION IS NEEDED TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEW DOCTOR PHILLIPS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. PAUL GORGIO GIVING US A UNIQUE VIEW OF THE WORK. TODAY IS A BIG DAY. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FIVE, SIX, SEVEN YEARS. THE PANELS ARE FINALLY COMING OFF THE BUILDING. I'M THE ARCHITECT. I'M ALSO THE PRESIDENT OF THE MILLS M. CHOICER FELLOWS. THERE'S 20 PANELS THAT WRAP THE ENTIRE CIRCLE OF THE BUILDING. THEY'LL BE REMOVED ONE BY ONE AND TAKEN TO A YARD FOR STORAGE. I'M CAROL BARNES. I HAD TO COME OVER AND SEE THE ROUND BUILDING. OUR CAMERA, HERE WE GO, BYE OLD ROUND BUILDING. WE'LL MISS YOU. IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE AMAZING THINGS THAT PEOPLE CAME AROUND FROM MILES AROUND TO SEE IT. THERE WASN'T A DISNEY OR A UNIVERSAL. THIS IS WHAT WAS AMAZING BECAUSE IT WAS SO FUTURISTIC AND SO DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING ELSE. THEY'RE CUTTING THAT INTERMEDIATE BAN. IT SEPARATES THE BOTTOM PIECE OF GLASS FROM THE TOP PIECE OF GLASS. WOW. THE CONCRETE PANELS ARE PROBABLY A COUPLE THOUSAND POUNDS EACH. THERE WE GO. THEY'RE KNOCKING OUT THE GLASS. SO ONCE YOU SEE THE FIRE AND THE SPARKS FLYING, YOU KNOW WE'RE ABOUT TO TAKE IT OFF. I'M AMAZED THEY'RE USING THAT SIZE CRANE FOR REMOVING THE PANELS. IT'S THE HISTORY OF THE CITY. IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING THAT'S ONE OF A KIND, WHY JUST WRECK IT? IT IS. IT'S KIND OF SAD TO SEE IT

EATONTOWN Borough officials are investigating the cost of demolishing the vacant and deteriorating former U.S. Army housing units at Fort Monmouth.
Mayor Gerald Tarantolo suggested at the Sept. 10 Borough Council meeting that the borough would seek cost estimates for demolition of the units in the area known as Howard Commons, which he said are blighted and represent a potential hazard.
Howard Commons is a 63-acre tract on Pinebrook Road that is the site of 483 housing units that were occupied by Army personnel prior to the fort closing in 2011.
The discussion the council began at the Sept. 10 meeting included whether the borough has the authority to demolish the structures, which are owned by the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FMERA), and how the borough would be reimbursed if the council decides to go forward with the project.
The property is owned by FMERA, and they have full authority to dispose of the property, Tarantolo said.
When they sell properties, they get the check. Based on an agreement with the Army, the government gets 63 percent of the [funds] and the rest goes to FMERA.
That is why we want to quantify what demolition would cost. They will take off the top the cost we incur as part of the process at the closing of the property.
Borough Engineer David Marks suggested the demolition be done in two phases, with the first being to secure an estimate of the cost of demolition, taking into account all pertinent factors.
