�� <br /> � , <br /> 1 C. OUTBUILDINGS and ACCESSORY STRUCTURES <br /> 2 Until the mid-twentieth century, most rural properties consisted of a main dwelling <br /> 3 unit surrounded by specialized outbuildings for domestic or agricultural tasks. <br /> 4 Separate kitchen structures, barns, storage sheds, dairies, smokehouses, etc. are <br /> 5 vital to our understanding the historic and architectural context of a designated <br /> 6 landmark. Routine maintenance, traditional repair, and selective replacement of <br /> � deteriorated or missing features for contributing outbuildings and accessory <br /> g structures should follow the same guidelines as those for main landmark buildings. <br /> 9 , — - <br /> �•�r,,,�'., ,�.'�'M';�. � � �'' <br /> ..� ��, - �`•` ;.;� <br /> 10 ��-✓..�„ ,�� ,�.�,�',,�,�,�„ . - ,�—, �,� � <br /> .~�„ � <br /> �.

New <br /> 2o buildings that are not reproductions should be visually compatible with the existing <br /> 21 building complex, particularly from a distance. New buildings should never detract <br /> 22 from or compete with a contributing house or outbuilding complex due to size or <br /> 23 design. <br /> 24 Special care should be used when positioning a new outbuilding near a significant <br /> 25 outbuilding or building cluster. If a new agricultural building must look significantly <br /> 26 different from surrounding structures—in terms of color, construction technique or <br /> 2� material, size or scale in order to function, it may be more appropriate to locate the <br /> 28 new structure away from the existing buildings to maintain the integrity of the <br /> 29 original building complex. (See also Standards for Introducing Buildings to a <br /> 3o Landmark Property.) <br /> 31 <br /> 32 DESIGN STANDARDS for Outbuildings and Accessory Structures <br /> 33 <br /> 34 II-C-1. Retain and preserve outbuildings and accessory structures such as smokehouses, <br /> 35 dairies, washhouses, barns, storage bins, and sheds that contribute to the historic <br /> 36 character of the site. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 11-C-2. Maintain and protect historic outbuildings and accessory structures and their <br /> 39 distinctive features and details. Repair deteriorated or damaged outbuildings and <br /> 4o accessory structures and their character-defining features, elements, and details <br /> 41 using like materials. Repair work may require traditional construction methods, <br /> 42 such as the use of hand tools, to retain the integrity and authentic appearance of <br /> 43 the historic building or building feature. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 II-C-3. Replace any missing or deteriorated element of contributing outbuildings or <br /> 46 accessory structures to match the original in design, material, dimension, and detail. <br /> 9/27/2010 Draft Orange County Design Standards 17 <br />
