HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD OF THE CITY OF SANFORD DEVELOPMENT
ORDER No. 21-22 RELATING TO 703 SANFORD AVENUE GRANTING
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) of the City of Sanford issued this
Development Order relating to an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
relating to and touching and concerning the following described property: 703 Sanford
Avenue, which is assigned Tax Parcel Identification Number: 25-19-30-5AG-090A-0070
by the Seminole County Property Appraiser.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Property Owner/Applicant: Michael B. Lessard
1908 Tabby Way
New Smyrna, Florida 32168-5382
Project: Approval of the HPB replace missing windows relative to property located
at the 703 Sanford Avenue.
Requested Development Approval: The Applicant requested approval of the HPB
replace missing windows relative to property located at the 703 Sanford Avenue.
Additional Findings: The structure is a locally designated landmark in the
Georgetown National Register Historic District. The single story, frame vernacular
building was constructed in 1934 according a review of the records of Seminole County
Property Appraiser, but appears on the 1917 Sanborn Map. At present, no windows are
I I P a g e
in place. A photo taken in 1987 shows windows at that time. Unique to the property are
the large multi -paned windows on the front (west) and north facades. The applicant is
proposing to install 8 Pella Lifestyle Series Wood double hung aluminum clad 1/1 lite
windows in the existing openings each being 36" x 54" in size. No information was
provided to determine whether the larger windows are original to the house, or the sizes
were reduced after 1987. Most likely the other vertical windows were double hung, not
casement, based on the period and style of the construction. There are almost no
historic casement windows in the Sanford Residential District or in the Georgetown
National Register District.
The aluminum clad wood double hung 1/1 lite windows proposed are an acceptable
replacement -for the---missing—windows in a structure from this period-.---Though—not
confirmed, it is likely that the large multi -paned windows on the front and north
elevations in the 1987 photograph are alterations to the original 1917 window
configurations. It is possible that those 2 enlarged window openings have been in place
for over 50 years and have obtained significance in their own right. Either configuration
of these two windows would meet the standards and intentions of Schedule "S" of the
City's Land Development Regulations (LDRs).
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
(a). Pursuant to Section 8.0 of Schedule "S" of the City's LDRs, the HPB has
reviewed the proposed Certificate of Appropriateness and all application documentation
and matters relating thereto in accordance with the procedures for altering historic
landmarks or structures within historic districts as set forth in Schedule "S".
(b). Specifically, Schedule "S" of the City's LDRs provides as follows:
21 P age
(1). Most properties change over time; those changes that
have acquired historical significance in their own right shall be
retained and preserved.
(2). If windows or window details are determined to be
irreparable, they may be replaced provided that on the primary
facades of contributing buildings, replacement windows shall match
the existing original windows in size, configuration, material, design
and placement.
(3). On secondary facades, replacement windows may be of a
different design or type provided the windows are consistent with the
style of the building.
(4). When replacing existing windows that are inappropriate to
the style and period of the building, they shall be replaced with new
windows that are appropriate to the style and period of the building.
(5). All new windows shall have mullion profiles similar to
contributing structures. If single hung or double hung windows are
placed in groupings, a 4" to 6" inch trim piece shall separate the
windows.
(6). Windows and doors shall be glazed in clear glass with no
more than 10% daylight reduction.
(7). The use of reflective glass and reflective film is prohibited
and unlawful on all buildings.
(8). Only when the change is appropriate to the style and
3 1 P a g e
period of the building may a window be relocated, enlarged, reduced
or introduced.
(9). Windows shall be proportioned such that the height shall
be equal to or greater than the width, with the exception of
historically appropriate window groupings.
(10). Rectangular windows shall be casement and single or
double hung: circular and hexagonal windows may be fixed or pivot.
(c). To the extent that a conclusion of law as set forth herein also constitutes a
factual finding, then such shall be taken to be so as part of this Development Order.
(d). The proposed Certificate of Appropriateness is hereby found and
--determined to comply with the aforestated requirements -and provisions.
(e). Additionally, the Certificate of Appropriateness sought is hereby found and
determined to be consistent with the City of Sanford Comprehensive Plan and
development of the property as proposed would be consistent with and in compliance to
applicable land development regulations and all other applicable regulations and
ordinances as set forth in the Code of Ordinances of the City of Sanford.
ORDER
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1). The aforementioned application for a Certificate of Appropriateness is
APPROVED with the condition that with the condition that double -hung windows shall
be installed and that approval of the specifications for the doors is subject to approval
by the Historic Preservation Officer and if the Property Owner disagrees with such
determination, the matter will be submitted to the HPB for resolution at a public meeting
4 1 P a g e
and the matter will be adjudicated by means of a development order or denial
development order relating thereto..
(2), This Development Order granting approval of a Certificate of
Appropriateness touches and concerns the aforedescribed property and is subject to
code enforcement action in accordance with the controlling provisions of law.
