FREE RECORDING PURSUANT TO <br />GOVERNMENT CODE § 27383 <br />Resolution No. 2024-XX <br />Page 6 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />window, removing non-conforming doors and windows <br />entirely replacing them with new features complementary of <br />the residence’s and garage’s historic appearance. The <br />maintenance of the property’s historic character would also be <br />served by limiting more pronounced alterations to historic <br />features to the secondary and rear façades. <br /> <br />iii. The project complies with Standard No. 3. The proposed <br />changes will not create a false sense of historical <br />development. New features proposed for addition to the <br />residence and garage would consist primarily of doors and <br />windows. To restore the east-façade steel casement window, <br />the project architect examined recent imagery predating the <br />replacement of the original window at that location to identify <br />the original materials, dimensions, operation, and glazing <br />pattern for the proposed window. Similarly, the metal window <br />proposed for the north-elevation bathroom location matches <br />the materials, glazing pattern, and trim of the existing <br />historical window, but would be of a slightly reduced size. The <br />other proposed window and door designs are also based on <br />historic precedent, including general consistency with the <br />materials and glazing patterns found on the subject property <br />and, more broadly, with the varied window styles typical of <br />Ranch-style homes. The proposed windows and glazed <br />sliding doors would possess conservative, unembellished <br />designs and metal fabrication that make them compatible with <br />the historic character of the property, without introducing any <br />conspicuous detailing. Thus, these new elements would to <br />avoid the appearance of conjectural alterations and would not <br />present a false sense of historical development. <br /> <br />A similar approach was taken with the proposed garage door, <br />which is understated enough to avoid a conjectural <br />appearance but omits the period-inappropriate glazing of the <br />existing garage door. <br /> <br />Overall, the project avoids the addition of conjectural <br />elements by modeling replacement features on documented <br />features of the building or conservatively modeling new <br />features on the standards of the Ranch style and general <br />characteristics of the property. Standard 3 is therefore <br />satisfied. <br /> <br />iv. The project generally conforms to Standard No. 9. Although <br />the project does not propose any new additions or related new <br />construction, as discussed above, it proposes several exterior <br />  <br />    <br />
