6. New wood porch columns to sit on existing brick bases.
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. New front door, retaining the trim and existing transom.
2. New wood paneled back door.
3. Eliminating a second floor door and replacing with siding to match.
4. 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.
