STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Group B <br />A. Maintenance <br />The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change <br />except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper <br />maintenance of all structure or sites. <br />B. Treatment <br />Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original <br />form. Such improvements include re -roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a <br />change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment <br />change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of <br />Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of <br />changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. <br />The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the <br />original surfaces. <br />C. Renovation and Additions <br />Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, <br />is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be <br />considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original <br />form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions <br />to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of <br />the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the <br />additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: <br />1. StructureNecessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished <br />in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. <br />2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark <br />should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An <br />alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. <br />a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. <br />b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original <br />materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials <br />should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. <br />D. Demolition <br />Historic landmarks shall not be demolished. When a landmark poses a threat to the public safety, and <br />demolition is the only alternative, documentation by way of photographs, measured drawings, or other <br />descriptive methods should be made of both the exterior and interior of the landmark. The person or <br />agency responsible for demolition of the landmark shall be responsible for this documentation. <br />E. Movini4 <br />The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is <br />necessary, the owner of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. <br />F. Signs <br />No neon or flashing signs will be permitted unless they are original to the structure. Billboards and super - <br />graphics will also be disallowed. Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. <br />G. Building Site and Landscaping <br />1. Reauired <br />Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and <br />benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land <br />contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, <br />swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, <br />trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and <br />neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. <br />2.
