HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD OF THE CITY OF SANFORD DEVELOPMENT
ORDER No. 21-19 RELATING TO 1215 OAK AVENUE APPROVING A CERTIFICATE
OF APPROPRIATENESS
The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) of the City of Sanford issued this Denial
Development Order relating to an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
relating to and touching and concerning the following described property: 1215 Oak
Avenue, which is assigned Tax Parcel Identification Number: 25-19-30-5AG-1404-0090
by the Seminole County Property Appraiser.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Property Owners: Robert J. Lees and Mary J. Lees
1215 Oak Avenue
Sanford, Florida 32771-2841
Applicant: Mary Jane Lees
1215 Oak Avenue
Sanford, Florida 32771-2841
Project: Approval of the HPB to modify a front porch railing relative to property
located at 1215 Oak Avenue.
Requested Development Approval: The Applicant requested approval of the HPB
to modify a front porch railing relative to property located at the 1215 Oak Avenue.
Additional Findings: The project is located at 1215 Oak Avenue in the City's
Residential Historic District as described and depicted in Schedule "S" of the City's
11 P a g e
Land Development Regulations (LDRs).
The structure located on the subject property was constructed in 1925 according to a
review of the Seminole County Property Appraisers records, but it appears on the 1917
Sanborn map. The existing porch columns, railings and turned spindles are deteriorated
and the applicant is proposing simple wood replacements, for these items that research
shows were added sometime after 1987 but before 2010. It is not known what type, or if
any railing was in place before a 1987 photograph that is of record. No railings or very
simple porch elements are in character with this style and period.
There is no physical or pictorial evidence to suggest the subject porch had railing
installed along the front and sides, but this simple style wood railing has been approved
on numerous porches in the Residential Historic District..
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:
(1). Porches or porch elements that are in good condition or
repairable and in character with the style and period of the building
shall be retained.
Porches and porch features shall be repaired so the
match the original in materials, size and configuration.
Replacement of existing porches with a design or
21P a g e
materials not in character with the style and period of the building
are prohibited and unlawful.
(4). New porch elements, such as, by way of example only
and not as a limitation, balusters and columns, brackets, trim and
architectural embellishments shall be compatible with the style and
period of the building and shall be substantiated by physical and/or
pictorial evidence of the subject property.
(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.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1). The aforementioned application for a Certificate of Appropriateness is
APPROVED.
(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.
