Explanation
The applicant is proposing to replace 20 of the home’s aluminum windows, size for size, with white vinyl fixed and slider windows. The property is located at 1115 NE 5th Terrace. The contributing structure was built in 1955, according to the Alachua County Property Appraiser’s office. The property is zoned RSF 3 and is approximately 1,867 square feet in size. The building is a contributing structure to the Northeast Residential Historic District.
Ten of the windows to be replaced are on the sun room, located on the home’s eastern elevation, towards the rear of the property. The sun room is not visible from the right-of-way. The ten additional windows to be replaced are on the rest of the structure, including the west elevation which is visible from the street. The proposed windows are VantagePointe Windows by Simonton, and will include seven fixed windows and three sliders on the sun room; and nine sliders with one fixed window throughout the rest of the house. All windows will fit existing openings.
Recommendation
Staff to the Historic Preservation Board - Approve Petition HP-16-7 with the condition that new windows match the original in size, general muntin/mullion configuration, and reflective qualities.
