8.127. Architectural design standards. The following design standards, consistent with appendix B, preserving a community historic rehabilitation standards and guidelines for the Village of Thompsonville are applicable to projects within Thompsonville districts:

8.127.1. New construction:

1.

New residential construction shall reflect the architecture, bulk and setbacks of the historic streetscape. (See figure E.) Contemporary designs or simplified versions of historic domestic styles are appropriate when they meet the following criteria:

i)

Conform to the prevailing scale, form, and massing of the streetscape.

ii)

Include architectural elements common to the streetscape, such as roof and window types, and employ similar materials.

Figure E: Scale of Residential Infill Development

2.

New commercial construction shall conform to the prevailing height and scale of the existing historic streetscape and meet the following criteria (See figure F.)

i)

Maintain existing cornice (roof and storefront) lines.

ii)

Employ appropriate materials that are compatible with adjacent buildings.

iii)

Facade design shall incorporate historic or modernized versions of historic architectural elements from adjoining historic buildings, including, but not limited to, cornice design, storefront configuration, and window and door types.

Figure F: Orientation of Commercial Infill Development

3.

New infill construction on vacant lots shall conform to the typical scale, proportion, massing, and materials of the adjacent historic streetscape and reflect the functional character (residential or commercial) of the historic neighborhood.

4.

Architectural details characteristic of the particular style and period proposed shall be incorporated into the design for any new construction and should relate harmoniously to adjacent buildings. It is not intended that the architectural details of old buildings be duplicated precisely, but they should be regarded as suggestive of the extent, nature and scale of details that would be appropriate on new buildings or alterations. Desirable architectural features, where appropriate for a particular style, include gabled roofs, multi-pane windows, chimneys, porches, shutters, gothic arches, white columns and entablature, and fanlights. Examples of designed architectural style include Colonial, Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, Romantic Revival and Victorian styles. Stonewalls, picket-type fences, wrought iron fences, and decorative wrought iron street-furniture are encouraged.

8.127.2. Remodeling and/or rehabilitation. (See figure G.)

1.

The historic architectural character shall be preserved by retaining, repairing, and/or refinishing all distinctive features, materials, and finishes, including, but not limited to, siding, architectural details, porches, windows, and doors.

Figure G: Preservation of Historic Features

2.

New architectural elements shall match the original design and materials, or if missing, be based upon appropriate examples from a similar style or period or be documented by historic photographs.

3.

Historic window sash and window surrounds shall be retained and repaired. Replacement windows should match the design, material, and size of the original features. Modern windows styles (picture, awning or casements) should only be used in rear elevations.

4.

The use of vinyl siding is discouraged. If used, only installation methods that protect and preserve existing historic features and architectural details shall be permitted. Special architectural features and details including, but not limited to, brackets, roof cornices and returns, window and door surrounds, and all corner, sill, and frieze boards shall be preserved. Historic entranceways, including, but not limited to, door hoods, columns, posts, pilasters, sidelights, transoms, and entablatures must also be preserved.

i)

Block out window trim boards to maintain the original profile depth (projection out from the original siding).

ii)

Match the exposure (width) of original siding as closely as possible and maintain the horizontal direction.

iii)

Do not install new siding over wall surfaces with shaped shingles or any other special sheathing, such as vertical board-and-batten.

iv)

Window and door casings shall not be covered.

v)

Never cover roof cornices, soffits, and frieze boards with vinyl or aluminum.

5.

Every effort-shall be made to retain and preserve historic porches. Retain all historic porches and associated architectural features, including, but not limited to, columns, posts, spindle courses, scrollwork, brackets, and balustrades

8.127.3. Additions. (See figure H.)

1.

Compatible new additions and exterior alterations to historic buildings shall reflect but not duplicate the design of the original structure or convey a false historic appearance. Appropriate additions should clearly read as new construction and conform to the following design criteria:

i)

Be restricted to less visible rear or side elevations.

ii)

Scaled in proportion to existing height and massing, but not exceed 30 percent of the existing building footprint.

iii)

Employ similar materials and/or modernized versions of existing historic architectural elements.

2.

New additions and exterior alterations shall be compatible with the scale and proportions of the existing building and generally confined to less visible rear elevations.

3.

An addition to a historic building shall be a secondary form that preserves the form of the historic building. A proposed addition should be no larger than two-thirds the street frontage of an existing building.

Figure H: Additions

8.128. Building massing within Thompsonville districts 3 through 5 (inclusive).

1.

For sites with multiple buildings proposed, building footprints should be varied in size and shape so as to avoid monotony of structures. (See figure I.)

2.

The primary structure shall be oriented to the street. More than one principal structure may be found on the property.

3.

Building structures with a footprint of 5,000 square feet or more shall be articulated by smaller sections and structures. This may be accomplished via the use of horizontal offsets, bump outs, cross-gable features, and other architectural features and elements.

4.

Blank wall surfaces (surfaces lacking doors, windows, or other architectural features) greater than 40 feet in length shall not be visible from streets or other public areas. (See figure J.)

Figure I: Orientation of Buildings

Figure J: Building Massing

8.129. Public amenity requirements. (See figures K and L.) (For new construction of buildings 10,000 square feet of more)

1.

The area of publicly accessible amenities shall be equal to or greater than two percent of the gross floor area.

2.
