FINDINGS OF FACT Property Owner: First Street Station LLC 541 North Palmetto Avenue Suite 105 Sanford, Florida 32771 Applicant: Ron Semans 541 North Palmetto Avenue Suite 105 Sanford, Florida 32771 Project: Approval of the HPB to construct a 4 -story hotel relative to property located at 200 West 1st Street. Requested Development Approval: The Applicant requested approval of the HPB to construct a 4 -story hotel relative to property located at 200 West 1st Street. IIPr��Te MEMO= i ii • The prior findings of the HPB relating to the subject property are hereby ratified and affirmed. The subject property is located in the Downtown Commercial Historic District. This hearing was continued from the January meeting of the HPB to allow for revisions to plans in regards to placement of air conditioning vents, the span for the structural awning and storefront configuration. The proposed 4 -story hotel is located at the comer of West 1 st Street and Oak Avenue, fronting West 1st Street, and includes parking to the north of the building adjacent to the recently approved townhome development. The property has been vacant since the demolition of the former SunBank building in 2011.To the east of the subject property, across Oak Avenue is the 2 -story Welaka Building and to the west is the single story replaced SunBank building. On the opposite (south) side of West 1st Street is the 2 - story Palucci Building constructed in 1954 with its mansard roof and a single story masonry vernacular commercial building. The proposed development complies with the lot layout requirements and intention for urban form The majority of historic buildings on 1st Street are 1 -story and 2 -story, with the exception of the 6 -story building on the southeast comer of Park Avenue and 1st Street. Schedule "S" of the City's Land Development Regulations (LDRs) allows for 4 - story buildings, and in a corner location is compatible with the historic structures. The West 1st street frontage width is similar to existing structures. The proposed design provides recesses and projections, entry features, a structural canopy spanning the front fagade, a well-defined cornice, and provides pedestrian orientation and scale in an urban setting. New construction conceptually approved (but yet to be developed) at West 1st Street and Palmetto Avenues by means of a 2017 statutory development agreement and an action by the HPB (Heritage Park) is similar in massing and scale to this project. The height of the storefront windows are similar to other contributing commercial buildings and are anchored with a bulkhead or kick plate element. The west elevation will be visible from West 1 st Street and the adjoining parking lot and has limited fenestration at the pedestrian level and upper stories. The east elevation (fronting Oak Avenues) has the benefit of the wrap around storefront, and upper story fenestration. The masonry building materials —brick, cement lap siding and stucco -- correspond to those approved for the adjacent town homes. Although horizontal siding is not a feature in historic commercial buildings in the Downtown Commercial Historic District, in the proposed design it functions to define and vary the facades. The proposed windows are a contemporary product that is dissimilar to the majority of the upper story windows in the Downtown Commercial Historic District, but are compatible with the building style. The storefront configuration meets the criteria. Mr. Semans provided renderings of the proposed project in context with the surrounding buildings, illustrating scale and massing as well as architectural drawings for each elevation all of which is in the record of this proceeding.
