New construction includes any new building or structure constructed within the boundaries of the historic district, or any new addition to an <br />existing building. New construction should be designed considering the appearance of the other buildings in the neighborhood. • <br />A. HEIGHT AND PROPORTION <br />The majority of structures in the district are two stories high and are square, rectangular, or irregular in plan. There are a few story -and -a -half <br />residences. The prevalent facade proportions are between 1:1 and a 1:2 height -to -width ratio. <br />Required <br />The height of a new structure and its height -to -width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the district. The building <br />height shall be no greater than that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the lowest existing structure of the same type in the <br />same block. Fagade proportions shall be established by permitting no structure with a fagade wider or narrower than those existing in the <br />same block. Additions to existing buildings shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure. <br />Recommended <br />Contemporary designs should be compatible in character and mood to the building or neighborhood. <br />Prohibited <br />Additions may not be constructed that would change the existing fagade of a building, alter its scale or architectural character, or add new <br />height <br />Not Recommended <br />New stories should not be added, nor should existing stories be removed, which would destroy important architectural details, features or <br />spaces of the building. Any style or period of architecture that is incompatible with what exists should not be permitted in the new additions. <br />B. BUILDING MATERIALS <br />Wall materials in the district include brick, stucco, half-timbering, stone, clapboard, shingle, and metal and vinyl siding <br />Required <br />Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color with adjacent structures. Materials used on an <br />addition to an existing structure shall relate to the existing or original materials of that structure. As much of the original structure as possible <br />shall be retained so that the addition could be removed without damage to the 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 should be compatible with the original size and style <br />and with the materials of other buildings in the district. <br />Prohibited <br />Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, molded or artificial stone, or artificial brick shall not be used. <br />Not Recommended <br />Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be used for anything other than foundations <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this project, based upon he <br />application's conformity to the `new construction' sub -section of the Standards and Guidelines, and the <br />precedent created through the approval of a similar project in 2008. <br />Written by <br />Adam Toering <br />Historic Preservation Specialist <br />Approved by <br />Elicia Feasel <br />Historic Preservation Administrator <br />0 <br />
