Title
Replace Aluminum Windows With Vinyl Windows On a Single-Family Dwelling(B)
Petition HP-19-68. Jeff Feller & Amy Ladendorf, owners. Certificate of Appropriateness for the replacement of 15 existing windows with new windows on a single-family house. Located at 1015 NE 5th Street. This building is contributing to the Northeast Residential Historic District.
Project Description
The property is located at 1015 NE 5th Street. The contributing structure was built in 1946, according to the Alachua County Property Appraiser’s office. The property is zoned RSF 3 and is approximately 1,787 square feet in size. The building is a contributing structure to the Northeast Residential Historic District.
The existing house is a one-story, gable-front and wing Ranch style house dating back to the mid to late 1940s, with architectural details such as picture windows with double hung sashes with horizontal instead of vertical rails. According to the Florida Master Site File, the house at 1015 NE 5th Street retains its essential form and integrity. The house has a masonry structural system, stem wall foundation, brick exterior fabric, a brick chimney, lapped siding and scalloped detailing on the gable ends, and three paned awning windows on either side of the entry with paired awning windows on the south side of the house and on the gable wing. The existing windows are aluminum and awning windows and are not original windows to the structure.
The applicant is proposing to replace 15 existing aluminum windows with new replacement windows, size for size, featuring Window World 4000 Series double-hung vinyl windows. The color of the replacements would be white to match the existing window color. All windows will fit existing openings.
Recommendation
Staff to the Historic Preservation Board - Approve Petition HP-19-68 with the condition that new windows match the original in size, general muntin/mullion configuration, and reflective qualities.
