This notice concerns a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application for window replacement at a property located in Mount Dora. The applicant, Diane Hartwell, is the landowner. The application was discussed by the Historic Preservation Board on May 27, 2026. Staff recommended approval with a condition regarding window grid lines. However, the Board voted to deny the application, citing inconsistency with standards that discourage vinyl windows. The landowner expressed frustration with a contractor and indicated a willingness to use alternative window materials. The Board clarified that two permits would be required for window replacement: one from the Building Department and a COA. The landowner ultimately decided to withdraw the application. This item is currently under review and has been withdrawn by the applicant. The potential scope of work, if the application were to be resubmitted or a new one filed, could involve site preparation, window installation, and related trades. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor future public notices regarding this property, as opportunities may arise if the project is reinitiated.
