<br />Additions <br /> <br />Additions should complement the overall massing, scale, material, detailing, craftsmanship, and <br />texture of the original structure and should not destroy significant architectural features, <br />materials, or finishes. When possible, a property owner should accommodate living space <br />needs within the existing envelope of the residence. When additional space is required, it <br />should be constructed so that it is as unobtrusive as possible. Rear additions are almost always <br />appropriate and are not considered a negative impact on the historic character of the <br />neighborhood when complying with the SD 40 development standards. Additions should be <br />designed to: <br /> <br />· Preserve significant architectural features, details, and materials of existing residence. <br />. Preserve the character, massing, and scale of the residence by maintaining existing <br />proportions of the new addition. <br /> <br />Scale and Mass <br /> <br />Each building has a characteristic scale and mass that is unique to its particular style. For <br />example, the Craftsman Bungalow architectural style emphasizes horizontal lines giving them a <br />low to the ground appearance. Low-pitched roofs with wide and thick porch pillars all add to this <br />appearance. Each architectural style possesses unique qualities that help to establish its own <br />individual mass and scale. It is important to recognize these features and incorporate and <br />continue them in additions and expansions. <br /> <br />Roof Pitch Consistency <br /> <br /> <br />INAPPROPRIAfE <br />roof elemente do not provide <br />~U11Cy m &lcpt <br /> <br /> <br />APPROPRIATE <br />roof !Slo e maintained <br /> <br />~k <br /> <br />APPROPRIATE <br /> <br />Rooflfn" IUldltlon I!S in~rat&:l <br />Into th" d"5111n of the 1lXi5tinll <br />buildlnlJ <br /> <br />:ra. <br /> <br />INAPPROPRIATE <br /> <br />Flat or !Shed roofliM addition <br />COl1trae;te; witl1 the 1lXi6tin0 roofline <br /> <br />The roof of a residence is an important architectural element that must be taken into <br />consideration when planning an addition. The roof style, pitch, and detailing on the addition <br />should match the original structure. Roof material should also match as close as possible in <br />order to maintain the architectural style of the original structure. <br /> <br />52 <br /> <br />
