JOHANNA STREET, ARCHITECT Page 8 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. As noted in the DPR form the building is in good condition and none of the historic features appear deteriorated. There does not appear to be in-kind replacement in the scope of the proposed project, as such it follows Standard 6. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. The proposed project does not indicate chemical or physical treatments for the existing building. The only historic material on the building that would be irreparably damaged by abrasive treatment is the brick veneer. It is assumed that the brick will not be sandblasted or treated with impermeable coatings. Therefore, the project complies with Standard 7. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. There are no known archeological resources on the property and there will be minimal excavation involved in the proposed project. The proposed project complies with Standard 8. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. The new work is visually identifiable as new. The rectangular massing on the addition references the rectangular massing of the existing building. It increases the building height by one story and does not overwhelm the existing building in size or scale. The addition is also setback on two sides reducing its impact. The proposed addition is glazing framed by square stucco panels. The use of stucco is a reference to the existing building but by dividing it into square panels, the addition reads as new. The design of the new addition with limited ornamentation does not compete with the existing building and as such the proposed project meets Standard 9. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
