v. Discussion

April 29, 2026 Historic Preservation Board · 2026-04-29 · agenda_item

The City of Mount Dora Historic Preservation Board is reviewing an application for window replacement at a property located in Mount Dora. The owner, Diane Hartwell, is proposing to replace existing metal and wood windows that are reportedly leaking and have rotting frames. While the initial proposal was to replace the windows, discussions focused on restoring and replicating the existing windows. The board has tabled the application until the next meeting to allow a contractor representative to be present. This early stage in the review process presents an opportunity for contractors specializing in window restoration, replication, and installation, as well as suppliers of related materials. Engaging with the owner and the city early could provide an advantage before final decisions on materials and methods are made.
