4 " <br />r <br />i' <br />�r <br />r <br />l� <br />III. New Construction <br />New construction includes any new buildings or structures <br />constructed within the boundaries of the historic district or any <br />new addition to existing buildings. New construction should be <br />designed considering the appearance of other buildings in the <br />neighborhood. <br />A. Height and Proportion <br />The majority of the structures in the district are two stories <br />high and are square, rectangular, or irregular in plan. The <br />most prevalent facade proportions have a 1:1 or a 1:2 height <br />to width ratio. <br />(1) Required <br />The height of a new structure and its height to width <br />proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings <br />in the district. The building height shall be no greater <br />than that of the tallest existing structure and no less <br />than that of the lowest existing structure of the same <br />type in the same block. Facade proportion shall be <br />established by permitting no structure with a facade <br />wider or narrower than those existing in the same block. <br />Additions to existing buildings shall be related in <br />height and proportion to the existing structure. <br />(2) Recommended <br />Contemporary designs should be compatible in character <br />and mood to the building or neighborhood. <br />( (3) Prohibited <br />Additions that would add new height or change the <br />existing facade of a building and change its scale and <br />architectural character shall not be constructed.' <br />(4) Not Recommended <br />New stories should not be added nor should existing <br />stories be removed which would destroy important <br />architectural details, features, and spaces of the <br />building. Any style or period of architecture that is <br />incompatible with the existing should not be permitted in <br />new additions.; <br />28 <br />
