evidence. <br />8. g. Chemical or physical treatments, <br />such as sandblasting, that cause damage <br />to historic materials shall not be used. The <br />surface cleaning of structures, if <br />appropriate, shall be undertaken using the <br />gentlest means possible. <br />N/A Damaging techniques are not <br />proposed for use on this project. <br />8. h. Significant archaeological resources <br />affected by a project shall be protected and <br />preserved. If such resources must be <br />disturbed, mitigation measures shall be <br />undertaken. <br />N/A Significant archeological resources <br />have not been identified on this <br />property. <br />8. i. New additions, exterior alterations or <br />related new construction shall not destroy <br />historic materials that characterize the <br />property. The new work shall be <br />differentiated from the old and shall be <br />compatible with the massing, size, scale, <br />and architectural features to protect the <br />historic integrity of the property and its <br />environment.1 <br />No While the windows being removed are <br />not historic, they are located in the <br />same place as the original widows. <br />The expansion of window openings <br />and the change in door placement <br />from the front façade to the southeast <br />corner of the house will result in the <br />removal of historic materials. <br />8. j. New additions and adjacent or <br />related new construction shall be <br />undertaken in such a manner that if <br />removed in the future, the essential form <br />and integrity of the historic property and its <br />environment would be unimpaired. <br />Yes The proposed rear addition takes the <br />place of a prior addition to the original <br />house built in 1957. The construction <br />of the new addition does not result in <br />the loss of any additional material on <br />the historic structure. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 For reference, the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation recommend the <br />following when designing an addition for a historic structure: <br />Designing a New Exterior Addition to a Historic Building <br />This guidance should be applied to help in designing a compatible new addition that that will meet <br />the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation: <br /> A new addition should be simple and unobtrusive in design, and should be distinguished from the <br />historic building a recessed connector can help to differentiate the new from the old. <br /> A new addition should not be highly visible from the public right of way; a rear or other secondary <br />elevation is usually the best location for a new addition. <br /> The construction materials and the color of the new addition should be harmonious with the <br />historic building materials. <br /> The new addition should be smaller than the historic building it should be subordinate in both <br />size and design to the historic building. <br />
