Requested Development Approval: The Applicant has requested the HPB to approve the following scope of work relative to property located at 305 South Park Ir` 1.

Alterations to accessory building doors to include replacement carriage style garage doors on the north elevation, replacing upper story hollow core door with a wood paneled door on the west elevation and introducing a new opening with wood paneled door on the first floor west elevation. 5. New wood staircase to upper story of the accessory building (west elevation). 6. New wood porch columns to sit on existing brick bases. Additional Findings: The project is located at 305 South Park Avenue in the City's 21Page in the Sanford Residential Historic District. The frame vernacular home was constructed in about 1910 according to the records available from the Seminole County Property Appraiser. The project includes alterations to an accessory dwelling depicted on a Sanborn Fire Insurance maps in 1929. Both buildings have not been adequately maintained and the house suffered significant fire damage. The City, at one time, engaged in significant activity to mitigate damages to the structure to include litigation. The City became the owner of the subject property and marketed the property with a required covenant relating to historic preservation. The applicant, through minor review, has received approval for a new roof, siding repair, porch floor and ceiling replacement and replacement/repair of wood windows to match existing. The proposed paneled wood doors are appropriate replacement doors for the back door and the 2 accessory dwelling doors. The elimination of the remnant second story house door re-establishes the original condition. The applicant has proposed retaining the framing, but a better solution would be to key in the matching siding and remove the door trim. The introduction of the first floor door to the accessory building lines up with the door above and is appropriate to the style and period of the building. The existing front door is fire damaged and beyond repair. The applicant proposes retaining and restoring the transom window and installing a wood framed door that is mostly glass and not a typical configuration for the period. The proposed steel carriage style door complements both the garage and primary structure. Similar doors have been approved by the HPB throughout the historic district. The proposed turned wood porch columns are not scaled to be compatible with the brick bases. Photographs taken 31 Page in the 1940s, 1987 and 2006 show round slightly tapered columns that could be replicated using available products. With regard to the exterior stairs, they are necessary for the accessory dwelling to function, and is not a character defining feature. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW (a).
