The Historic Commission does not recommend approval of elevations A2 and A3 dated 12/18/2019 and received 12/20/2019 because of inconsistencies with the depiction of the existing structure and with the applicable standards for Historic District Development.

RECOMMENDED AVOID Pattern or rhythm of wall to door/window A pattern or rhythm of window/door openings on the primary façade or other openings that is inconsistent with visually prominent elevation is maintained. adjacent historic buildings. Maintain compatiblewidth-to-height ratio of bays in the façade. It is unclear from the application whether the second-story windows on the north elevation will be altered,removed or replaced. The Historic Commission recommends size, style, casing, proportion and spacing of any changes to the second story windows match the existing structure, as well as the pattern of window/door openings on the proposed addition match theexisting structure. Rehabilitation Standards for Existing Buildings and Additions(AMC 18.4.2.050.C.2) b. Original architectural features shall be restored as much as possible, when those features can be documented. The fascia and frieze and trim and corner boards should match the type and size on the existing building. c.

The Historic Commission recommends the addition match the siding on the existing building. g. Replacement windows in historic buildings shall match the original windows.

The Historic Commission recommends the window and door casings should match the type and size on the existing building.
