smaller addition is being reworked to be a half -bath and laundry room. The three windows in the that addition have broken glass or <br />boarding, the intention is to repair those with new glass and glazing. <br />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 except for the general cleaning and <br />upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper 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 form. Such improvements include <br />re -roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the <br />landmark. A treatment 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 changes may not require a Building <br />Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and <br />style consistency with the 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, is a change in mass. A <br />modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions <br />to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural <br />detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The <br />proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carred through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change <br />or alter the following: <br />1. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause <br />minimal visual change to the original style and construction. <br />2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the <br />original. It should be the same size and texture. An 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 materials with additional <br />siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original <br />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 demolition is the only alternative, <br />documentation by way of photographs, measured drawings, or other descriptive methods should be made of both the exterior and interior <br />of the landmark. The person or agency responsible for demolition of the landmark shall be responsible for this documentation. <br />E. Moving <br />The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is necessary, the owner of the <br />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 -graphics will also be <br />disallowed. Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. <br />G. Building Site and Landscaping <br />1. Required <br />Major landscaping items, trees, 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: gazebos, <br />patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, 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 neighborhood and <br />inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. <br />2. Recommended <br />New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, <br />and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings <br />historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced <br />by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such <br />fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. <br />3. Prohibited <br />No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, <br />outbuildings, and 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. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV <br />reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. <br />Elicia Feasel <br />Executive Director <br />On a motion by Brandon Anderson with a second by Michele Gelfman to approve application as <br />submitted. <br />Vote: 5 — 0 Unanimous. <br />COA#2016-0115 Approved. <br />
