b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures <br />• already sided with incompatible materials 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 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 of <br />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 disallowed. <br />Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. <br />G. Building Site and Landscaping <br />(These standards apply to both A and B) <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, patio <br />decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and <br />other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed <br />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, and <br />newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic <br />fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable <br />flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. <br />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 areas <br />shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception <br />dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. <br />•STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As the existing windows have weathered decades of deferred and inappropriate <br />maintenance and the proposed replacement will resemble the original, Staff recommends approval on the condition <br />that all original architectural detail around windows be retained or replaced by replicas. Approval is recommended <br />for garage and passage doors with final design to be approved by Staff. <br />Written by <br />Elicia Feasel <br />Historic Preservation Administrator <br />r] <br />
