SITE
Retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open
space. Avoid i'B�tF�tl�ltl� ��l£ S{f8 by moving ar removing buildings and site
features, such as walks, drives and fences, that help define the residence"s historic
value.
SETBACKS
Building setbacks shoufd be consistent with adjacent buildings ar with the style of
the building. Setbacks are an imporkant ingredient in creating an attractive
stree#scape. Buildings should be set back to a line that is consistent with their
neighbors and land use. For example, a residential setback should retain the
setback af adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along t�e street
right-af-way.
Residential buildings with a commercial u�e in residential areas shauld be set
back in a manner consis#ent with setbacks af neighboring or similar residen#ia1
� = structures.
= b Maintain building orientatian pattern, with the frant facade facing the street.
Maintain spacing patterns between buildings.
DRIVEWAYS, PARKING L.OTS AND VACANT SITES
Driveways shoulci be located perpendicular to the street; no c'srcular drives shall be
allowed (unless proven with historic documentation) in front or corner side yard, so
that the character af the landscaped yard can be reinforced.
New parking areas for cammercial uses should not be located adjacent to sidewalks
in the district.
Off-street parking should not be allawed to interrupt the continuity of landscaped
front or corner side yards. This is important to both the preservation of historic
character, and to the strengthening of the residential district.
Screen existing parking from streets and pedestrian areas in khe Historic District.
Existing parking lacated adjacent to streets and sidewalks may be screened ta the
height of car hoods. This will provide a certain level of continuity of the building
fa�ade line; it wi11 screen unsightly views; and it wiil pravide a level of security by
���' allowing views to and from the sidewalk.

SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS ,
Service and mechanical areas and equipment should be screened from the
street and other pedestrian areas.
All garbage and equipment storage areas shouid be screened from the street.
Mechanical equipment, including satellite dishes, shall not be located in front or
corner side yards or should be set back from the edges of roofs, and screened so
that they are not visible to pedestrians and do not detract from the historic character
of buildings.
BUILDING FABRIC
PRESERVATION
Preserve, stabilize, and restore original building form, ornament and materials.
Any missing or severely deteriorated elements may be replaced with replicas of the
original. Ensure that roof, window, porch and cornice treatments are preserved, or
when preservation is not possible duplicate the original building element.
When rehabilitating, remove non-historic alterations.
Often, "modern" renovations conceal the original facade details. If not, the
original style may be recreated through the use of historic photographs.
Where replication of original elements is not possible, a new design consistent with
the original style of the building may be used.
Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, material and
level of detail of the original design.
Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic significance. Older
structures or additions may have, at some time, been renovated with such care
and skill that the renovation itself is worthy of preservation. Usually, such
renovations may date from before 1940.
# EXTERIOR FINISHES
����
Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary,
Page 5 of 8
J
E��1�31T ^~ TO ���� � �
F�:�� _.�, g� .����
�«4 � replaced in kind. Modem synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little
resemblance to historic siding materials. The applica#ian of such modern synthetic
materials aften involves the removal of ariginal decorative elements such as
cornice, corner boards, brackets, window and daor trim, etc. New synthetic siding
shall not be installed; removal of existing such materials is not required, but strongly
encouraged, to restore historic patin�, finish and appearance.
Uriginal asbestos siding should be maintained and painted, or when necessary,
replaced with synthetic siding to match the existing asbestos siding. The removal
of asbestos siding over existing wood siding is not required, but strongSy
encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance.
Original masonry surfaces should be maintained and not be painted, unless severe
deterioratian of the brick or stone can be shown to require painting. ff the color or
te�cture of replacement brick or stone cannat be matched with existing, painting may
be an appropriate treatment.
Paint colors should be complimentary to each other and the overal{ character of the
house. When possible, research the ariginal paint calor and �nishes of the
building's historic period; the right coiors respect the historic building.
The Historic Preservation Commissian shali adapt, as necessary, a paint
palette(s} appropriate to the district's character, which may be proposed and
approved through the Minor Exterior Alteration application process. Any colors
�j ` propased outside the adopted palette may be reviewed by the Commissian in
the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process.
WINDQWS
Original window framing and {ites (panes af giass} canfigurations should be
preserved and maintained ar replaced in kind.
When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic apening. Use s�me
sash size ta avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. If drop ceiling is
installed in the interior, be sure that it is slanted up at the windaw so that it will not
cut into the window opening.
Ciear or very slightiy tinted window glass may be used. No refiective or heavily
tinted glass shall be used.
Should the owner wish to insta!! security bars, they should be installed an the
.#� - interior of windaws and daors.
�,,,,,� Storm windows. The use af interior storm windows is encouraged. Storm
Page 6 of 8
E;��1l3�T� TO a��:���L_
P�:�e _1.._ of __�___...
�:_..�
windows are available which can be installed on the interior of windows. This
helps to preserve the exterior historic character of the building.
��� Should storm windows need to be installed on the exterior of the historic
windows, storm windows constructed of wood and configured to match the
historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes) are recommended.
If inetal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements.
EMBELLISHMENTS
AWN(NGS-CANOPIES
New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be
consistent with the historic character of the house.
Appropriate incandescent light fixtures to the style of the district should be used.
�µ V Avoid exposed lighting of any kind unless part of a historic fixture.
NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
INFILL
The Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts
encourage similarity of form and materials, but not actual replication.
New construction proposals and the rehabilitation of non-historic buildings will be
reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgement will be based on the compatibility of
the design within the context of the property's adjacent and nearby historic
buildings.
The design of new buildings should have key elements of the building's historic
period (circa ____), including massing, scale, fenestration and materials.
� � Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions, and appear as clearly
