Removing or substantially changing wood features which are important in defining the overall historic character of the building so that, as a result, the character is diminished. Removing a major portion of the historic wood from a façade instead of repairing or replacing only the deteriorated wood, then reconstructing the façade with new material to achieve a uniform or “improved” appearance. Evaluating the overall condition of the wood to determine whether more than protection and maintenance,such as repairs to wood features,will be necessary. Failing to undertake adequate measures to ensure the protection of wood features. Replacing a deteriorated wood feature or wood siding on a primary or other highly-visible elevation with a new matching wood feature. Replacing a deteriorated wood feature or wood siding on a primary or other highly-visible elevation with a composite substitute material. Secretary of Interior’s Standards (Rehabilitation) Evaluation and Treatment of Wood Features. The applicant shall evaluate the overall physical condition of all character-defining wood features, including the siding, trim, and decorative detailing. Final plans for the project shall clearly identify, describe, and depict the nature and extent of any proposed repair or replacement, where the physical condition of character-defining materials and features warrant such work. Where repair or replacement is proposed, final plans shall be supplemented with evidence describing and documenting the justification for the proposed work, consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. Suggested Condition of Approval (Wood Features) Evaluation and Preservation of Window Features. The applicant shall evaluate the overall condition of all of the character-defining window features. Final plans for the project shall clearly note window features to be preserved. The nature and extent of any proposed repair or replacement of window features shall be clearly described and depicted in plans, where the physical condition of the features warrant such work. Where repair or replacement of window features is proposed, final plans shall be supplemented with evidence describing and documenting the justification for the proposed work, consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. Final plans shall include a window schedule describing all new and replacement windows, including window type, operation, and dimensions of window elements (sashes, muntins and sills, mullions, etc.), sufficient to evaluate their consistency with the building’s characteristic window pattern and their appropriateness as replacement windows. Suggested Condition of Approval (Windows) Evaluation and Preservation of Entrance and Porch Features . The applicant shall evaluate the overall condition of all of the dwelling’s entrance and porch features. Final plans for the project shall clearly describe and depict the nature and extent of any proposed repair and replacement, where the physical condition of character- defining entry and porch features warrant such work. Where repair or replacement of such features is proposed, final plans shall be supplemented with evidence describing and documenting the justification for the proposed work, consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director. Particular attention shall be given to preservation of the material, configuration, and design of the porch columns, decorative brackets, roof beam, and roof covering. Final plans submitted for construction permits to complete this project shall clearly depict these retained features. Suggested Condition of Approval (Entrance, Porch) P roposed addition placed behind the existing dwelling, differentiated by separation (hallway as “hyphen”) Addition exhibits rectangular form and employs conventional residential building materials Scale, massing, and detailing appropriate in relation to that of the existing building Proposed replacement windows exhibit form and quality of materials more consistent with original window features Important character-defining features retained: ▪distinctive rooflines, ▪(restored) rectangular plan and axial symmetry, ▪wood siding and trim, ▪wood porch columns, brackets, and roof covering Summary of Project Design Elements ARCH-0148-2021 (2006 Swazey) Rehabilitation of, and addition to, a single-family dwelling (Contributing List Resource) Placement of addition behind existing dwelling, differentiation (separation) Rectangular form, conventional residential building materials Appropriate scale, massing, and detailing (in relation to existing building) Form and quality of replacement windows Retention of important character -defining features: ▪distinctive rooflines, ▪(restored) rectangular plan and axial symmetry, ▪wood siding and trim, ▪wood porch columns, brackets, and roof covering Alternative Actions: ▪Continue consideration of the request with direction on pertinent issues Secretary of Interior’s Standards (Rehabilitation) Windows Recommended Not Recommended Identifying, retaining, and preserving windows and their functional and decorative features that are important to the overall character of the building. The window material and how the window operates […] are significant, as are its components […] and related features, such as shutters. Removing or substantially changing windows or window features which are important in defining the overall historic character of the building so that,as a result,the character is diminished. Changing the appearance of windows that contribute to the historic character of the building by replacing materials,finishes or colors which noticeably change the sash, depth of the reveal,and muntin configurations,the reflectivity and color of the glazing;or the appearance of the frame. Replacing in kind an entire window that is too deteriorated to repair […] If using the same kind of material is not feasible, then a compatible substitute material may be considered. Using substitute material for the replacement that does not convey the same appearance of the surviving components of the window or that is physically incompatible." Entrances and Porches Recommended Not Recommended Identifying, retaining, and preserving entrances and porches and their functional and decorative features that are important in defining the overall historic character of the building. The materials themselves (including masonry, wood, and metal) are significant, as are their features, such as doors, transoms, pilasters, columns, balustrades, stairs, roofs, and projecting canopies. "Removing or substantially changing entrances and porches which are important in defining the overall historic character of the building so that,as a result, the character is diminished. Evaluating the overall condition of entrances and porches to determine whether more than protection and maintenance, such as repairs to entrance and porch features, will be necessary. Failing to undertake adequate measures to ensure the protection of entrance and porch features Repairing entrances and porches by patching, splicing, consolidating, and otherwise reinforcing them using recognized preservation methods. Repair may include the limited replacement in kind or with a compatible substitute material of those extensively deteriorated features or missing components of features when there are surviving prototypes, such as balustrades, columns, and stairs. "Removing entrances and porches that could be stabilized,repaired,and conserved […] Replacing an entire entrance or porch feature when repair of the feature and limited replacement of deteriorated or missing components are feasible."
