(Cornus florida) and Flowering Crabapples (Malus) are the elements that add to the <br />symmetry and structure of the district. While the use of ornamental trees is desirable and <br />adds to the formal atmosphere throughout the district, each lot should use only two or <br />three to eliminate disruption of visual continuity. <br />III. NEW CONSTRUCTION <br />B. BUILDING MATERIALS <br />Wall materials in the district include brick, stucco, half-timbering, stone, clapboard, <br />shingle, and metal and vinyl siding. <br />Required <br />Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color <br />with adjacent structures. Materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall relate <br />to the existing or original materials of that structure. As much of the original structure as <br />possible shall be retained so that the addition could be removed without damage to the <br />basic structure and appearance of the building. <br />Recommended <br />Metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative. This siding <br />should be compatible with the original size and style and with the materials of other <br />buildings in the district. <br />Prohibited <br />Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, molded or artificial stone, or artificial <br />brick shall not be used. <br />Not Recommended <br />Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be used for anything other <br />than foundations. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of fences A, B, and C as <br />they conform to the guidelines of the district. Furthermore, all are buffered from view <br />from the street by flora. Staff recommends approval of the new round window as it is <br />compatible to the style of the house reflecting the moulded round arch trim over front <br />entry door and relates to the existing or original materials of that structure. <br />
