a.
Historic preservation. The accurate restoration of an authentic existing pioneering structure, or structures having, or is suitable to obtain a historic designation or listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Such restoration must be consistent with the original appearance of the structure, and associated new construction must be of a consistent type, and done in such a way so as to preserve the original structure's historic designation. The developer should provide photographs and/or other written records, if possible as a means of demonstrating authenticity.
b.
Historic reconstruction. The authentic reconstruction of a pioneering structure that once stood in the site, or was found within the town limits of the town between 1880 and 1920. Said construction must meet current building code requirements while adhering to the exterior appearance of the style which it mimics when possible. The applicant should be able to present reasonably conclusive evidence of the appearance of the historic structure it seeks to mitigate.
c.
Period theme design. The construction of new buildings and appurtenances around the central theme of historic state architecture typical of structures constructed in other places between 1860 and 1920. These architectural styles should propose building design that could have been in the town during that period.
