The addition respects the proportions, massing and siting the existing building. It is single -story in scale and is compatible with the original building. The form of the addition is rectangular, with windows, doors, porches, and fencing elements provided at a residential scale appropriate for the Transition Area. G41. Use color to coordinate fagade elements in an overall composition. 1. Use only one base color for the majority of the background wall surface. Base colors should be muted earth tones or pastels. 2. Look for "built-in" features of the fagade that can be highlighted with an accent color. Window frames, sills, moldings, and cornices are potential elements to dramatize with a contrasting color. As noted above, the majority of the addition will be painted a medium gray -toned color, with smaller inset areas of stained horizontal wood siding. The existing building is painted a darker blue color. T5. Maintain the average perceived scale of one-story residential buildings. This application reinforces the perceived scale of one-story residential buildings. While not required along the entire block face, this application balances other projects that exceed one-story, including the project under construction immediately to the north at 824 South StreeV957 Main Street which is two -stories, and the approved PUD directly to the south at 927 Main Street which allows a two-story addition on the rear of an existing landmarked building. T7. Maintain the traditional scale of buildings along the alley. This application exceeds the minimum 20-foot rear setback for the one-story structure, and provides parking spaces accessible from the alley, one of which is ADA accessible. T8. Buildings that are predominately rectangular in form are encouraged. The proposal includes a predominately rectangular form, with minor inset areas and other elements that add architectural interest. T9. Use roof forms that are similar to those used traditionally. 1. Sloping roof forms, such as hip, gable and shed should be the dominant roof shape. 2. Roofs composed of a combination of roof planes, but simple in form, are also encouraged. 3. Roofs should be in scale with those on historic structures. 4. Non-traditional roof forms are inappropriate. The roof lines are predominantly gable in form, with minimal areas of flat roof lines used to connect the addition to the existing structure and for covered areas. 931 Main Street PUD Amendment Page 6 of 12 PC — July 16, 2020
