The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. <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 (appendix A: Minimum <br />Maintenance Standards).\ <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 re- <br />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 <br />Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for <br />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 <br />demolition). <br />Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of <br />architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall <br />appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. <br />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 as <br />the 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.
