<br />STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: East Wavne Street:
<br />B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING AND ACCESSORIES
<br />Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located in the center of a flat lawn, often divided by a
<br />walk leading to the front entrance. Several of the residences are sited on two or more building lots; however, the
<br />preponderance of the homes have been erected on a single lot. Most of the properties include a double garage, usually
<br />located at the rear of the property. The majority of garages are accessed from straight driveways leading from the main
<br />thoroughfare, while a few are accessed from the alley. There are also a few homes with a covered carport located at the
<br />rear of the property, as well as a few with circular driveways. Driveway and sidewalk materials include concrete,
<br />asphalt and brick. All of the properties have trees and most have trimmed shrubbery and/or hedges. Most of the houses
<br />conform to a uniform setback line within each block.
<br />Required
<br />Major landscaping items, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the
<br />property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as
<br />gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, greenhouses, new walls, fountains, fixed
<br />garden furniture, trellises and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and the
<br />neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public walkway.
<br />Recommended
<br />New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs,
<br />drawings and newspapers. New site work should be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and
<br />appearance. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the building's
<br />historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be
<br />immediately replaced by suitable flora. All high-intensity security lights should be approved by the Historic
<br />Preservation Commission.
<br />Prohibited
<br />No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways,
<br />outbuildings or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard
<br />areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. Front yard areas shall not be fenced and
<br />fences shall not extend forward beyond the setback line of the house. The installation of unsightly devices such as
<br />television reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from the public
<br />thoroughfare.
<br />Not Recommended
<br />Telephone or utility poles with high-intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from the
<br />thoroughfare.
<br />C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
<br />Window and door frames are of wood or steel (some casements) or in the case of brick structures, stone sills and brick
<br />lintels. Where metal or vinyl siding has been applied, window trim has been covered. Storm windows are of wood or
<br />aluminum.
<br />Required
<br />Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments,
<br />hoods, and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the
<br />original.
<br />Recommended
<br />Wood frame storm windows and doors painted to match the original should be used but should not damage existing
<br />frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should be used.
<br />When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are
<br />used they should be of canvas material.
<br />Prohibited
<br />Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re -used in place. New
<br />window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building shall not be introduced.
<br />Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of
<br />the original windows and doors shall not be installed.
<br />Not Recommended
<br />Awnings, hoods, and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl, or fiberglass should not be used if they would detract from the
<br />existing character or appearance of the building.
