2. The architectural style, arrangement, texture, and material used on the <br />existing and proposed structures and their relation and compatibility with <br />other structures. <br />3. The size of the structure, its setbacks, its site, location, and the <br />appropriateness thereof, when compared to existing structures and the <br />site. <br />4. The compatibility of accessory structures and fences with the main <br />structure on the site, and with other structures. <br />5. The effects of the proposed work in creating, changing, destroying, or <br />otherwise impacting the exterior architectural features of the structure upon <br />which such work is done. <br />6. The condition of existing improvements and whether they are a hazard <br />to public health and safety. <br />7. The effects of the proposed work upon the protection, enhancement, <br />perpetuation and use of the property. <br />8. The proposal's compliance with the following standards: <br />a. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a <br />new use that requires minimal change to the defining <br />characteristics of the building and its site and environment. <br />b. The historic character of a property shall be retained and <br />preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of <br />features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. <br />c. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its <br />time, place and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical <br />development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural <br />elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. <br />d. Most properties change over time; those changes that have <br />acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and <br />preserved. <br />e. Distinctive features, finishes and construction techniques or <br />examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be <br />preserved. <br />f. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than <br />replaced. When the severity of deterioration requires replacement <br />of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in <br />design, color, texture and other visual qualities and, where <br />possible, materials. In the replacement of missing features, every <br />effort shall be made to substantiate the structure's historical <br />features by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. <br />g. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that <br />cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface <br />
