character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a <br />Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not <br />require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed <br />treatment for character and 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). <br />Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular <br />examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of <br />overall appearance of 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. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to <br />cause 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 <br />as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the <br />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 <br />additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar <br />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 <br />only alternative, documentation by way of photographs, measured drawings, or other descriptive methods should be <br />made of both the exterior and interior of the landmark. The person or agency responsible for demolition of the landmark <br />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 <br />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 -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 <br />reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures <br />such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, <br />fixed garden furniture, 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. 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. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to <br />the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be <br />immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic <br />documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, <br />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, <br />walkways, outbuildings, and other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and <br />development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. The installation <br />of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be <br />viewed from public thoroughfares. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the site visit by Historic Preservation Inspector Szaday <br />and Specialist Toering, staff is of the opinion that the corn crib structure is not structurally sound. The <br />irregular roof line created by the attachment of the barn structure to the corn crib has led to continued <br />degradation within the structure of the corn crib. <br />Staff recommends approval of this proposed deconstruction, predicated on the applicant's <br />expressed desire to reconstruct the corn crib in a new location in 2019. <br />16 <br />• <br />
