any potential owner would recognize that there's a desire to reuse the building and it may be difficult to tear it down," Belmont said. There are plenty of ways the building could be reused without sacrificing its integrity, he said. One potential buyer proposed making a "pop up business incubator" to provide temporary storefronts for small businesses, such as those that set up booths for the city's Saturday Morning Market and are hoping to expand. "A lot of the success St. Pete is having right now and a lot of the buzz about how neat it is, is, we feel, due in part to maintaining its sense of place, keeping the feeling in your community by maintaining a mix of old and new," Belmont said.

"Green Bench Brewery, The Birchwood Hotel, Rococo Steak House, The Vinoy Hotel, those are all examples of old buildings being put back to use. If one is a visitor or tourist staying in downtown St. Pete, chances are you're probably staying and exploring in a historic building that is being put back to use." To the Community Preservation and Planning Commission, the decision to recommend landmark status came down to the city's criteria for the designation, which North Ward met "several times over," Belmont said. The commission's recommendation is that the original 1914 school building and 1931 two-story addition receive the designation, excluding a one-story addition built in 1948 and expanded in 1960, said Derek Kilborn, manager of the Urban Planning and Historic Preservation Division of the city's Planning 'and Economic Development Department, in an email. City council will have the final say on the building's status, which likely will be either 6 p.m.

April 17 or 9 a.m. May 1, Kilborn said. METRO SUNDAY, MARCH 16, 2014 THE TRIBUNE School "We thought it sense, before there From Page 1 another owner, for the to recognize its value Although many support saving the building, others have emailed city officials with concerns, and the Pinellas County School Board, the building's owner, has not "indicated their support for or opposition to" the landmark application, according to the city application. The school district put the building up for sale last year at $2.5 million and has since reduced the price to $1.75 million. Declaring a building a landmark creates an extra layer of protection against demolition and encourages owners to repurpose it instead, said Peter Belmont, vice president of the St.

Petersburg Preservation Society. Before significant exterior features could be changed, or before the building could be torn down, the owners would have to go through a permitting process or prove there is no longer an economic use for the building. Becoming a designated landmark also makes the building eligible for historic designation tax credits and financial incentives if it's reopened, Belmont said. But those regulations could make it difficult for the school board to get top dollar for the building or to sell it at all, wrote Rachel Wein, former chairperson of the real estate and construction committee for the Pinellas Education Foundation, in a letter to the city. The foundation recommended the school board sell the property.

"The cost to rehab a facility like this is significant due to functional obsolescence, abatement issues and modernization needs," wrote Wein, a licensed architect and commercial real estate advisor. "It has the potential to bring in considerable value to the school system, and over the years has been a drain on resources for maintenance." But the board's desire to sell the building, and its "great location' on Fourth Street, is partially why St. Pete Preservation has made a push to save it, Belmont said. Signs From Page 1 three stories high. After an outcry by merchants, the city passed a temporary sign "stimulus package" in 2010, permitting extra banner and "feather" signs to grab more attention during the economic slump.

Mayor Pat Gerard, who was on the commission when the ordinance passed in 2007, admitted the city needed to do more to inform businesses about the upcoming compliance deadline. He even floated the idea of offering a bigger incentive than $250. "It's about having a backbone, too, and being willing to say this is what we want for our city. It's also about having a vision for our city," she said. "We can continue to look tacky, but that's not what we want." Commissioner Curtis Holmes, though, said the whole plan contradicts the city's other efforts to incentivize more businesses moving in since the economic downturn.

For his office complex on Belcher Road to comply with the law, the 10 business owners listed on a raised marquee would have to spend at least $20,000 to build a large monument sign on the ground. Because of limitations on the size of the sign, he doubts motorists passing by would be able to read the names listed. He said existing businesses should be allowed to keep their current signs and only be required to change if their sign is damaged or replaced. Commission member Michael Smith predicted a revolt if the rules weren't modified for the compli- TBO.com made was city so (727) 215-9851 Twitter: ance deadline extended. "I just can't see this as business-friendly at all, especially in this economy," he said.

"In a few years, we're going to be here, like I said, with pitchforks and axes after all of our heads, and I really don't want to be here for that." Vice Mayor Woody Brown said it would be unfair to those who complied to extend the deadline, but he was open to the possibility of offering a larger incentive. Gerard said simply waiting for businesses to comply by allowing them to keep existing signs would take too long. "It's not just going to happen. By attrition, it'll take 40 to 50 years," she said. By the end of the discussion, city commissioners remained divided on the matter and asked the city's planning staff to look into a better marketing campaign for the ordinance and also investigate how other cities have encouraged businesses to change their signs.

Not all businesses find the new ordinance The Fairway Village mobile home community had set aside $18,000 to replace its aging sign on Belcher Road, and wanted to get ahead of an expected rush to sign companies. Manager Christine Giordano expects some businesses will balk, but she says the change will make it easier for drivers to navigate the city's commercial corridors. "I think it's a positive thing," she said. "It will be easier for people while driving to see the signs on the ground."
