Ms. Madraveren provided a brief overview to replace three existing wood doors with  
ThermaTru fiberglass doors and all windows with PGT vinyl windows for 507 E. Fort  
King Street, for COA24-45756.  
Ms. Barber asked if replacing the windows was for energy efficiency. Ms. Madraveren  
replied said yes and they are the original windows and doors from 1901. Ms. Barber said  
the original windows seem to be in good condition.  
Sandra Demonte, 507 E. Fort King, Ocala, FL, said she is replacing windows to save on  
energy. Ms. Barber asked if the windows are operating correctly. Ms. Damonte replied  
no. Ms. Barber asked if she looked into ways to conserve the original windows. Ms.  
Damonte said she contacted people who have replaced windows in the area. Mr. Drake  
said modern materials are more efficient and the PGT window is a high end window that  
has the required depth.  
Mr. McCullough asked if some of the windows were replaced in 2019. Ms. Madraveren  
replied yes, they are in the front of the porch and are the same kind of windows being  
requested.  
Ms. Barber asked if the Board had access to other resources regarding restoring windows  
and doors. Ms. Madraveren replied that the Board has to keep in mind what is being  
requested by the applicants and meets the requirements of the Secretary of interior. Mr.  
Drake said there is always going to be modern materials and it is up to the owner to  
decide as long as it has the appearance.  
Motion to approve COA24-45756, Section 94-82(g), Secretary of the Interior Standards;  
Entrances and Porches (page 49) (page50) (page 110), Windows (page 102) (page 106).
