3�r. <br /> 1 Property owners should always contact preservation staff prior to demolishing (or <br /> 2 deconstructing) any building on an individual Local Landmark or within a Local <br /> 3 Historic District. (Owners may also need to obtain a demolition permit from the <br /> 4 Inspections Division of the Planning and Inspections Department.) Buildings <br /> 5 originally identified as "non-contributing" buildings may have achieved contributing <br /> 6 status since the time of designation. The destruction of any building, particularly a <br /> 7 "contributing" building, due to neglect may result in the loss of designation status. <br /> 8 A property may be removed from the local landmark or local historic district <br /> 9 program if the owner compromises its architectural character and/or historic <br /> lo significance. <br /> 11 (See related section and Standards for Demolition.) <br /> 12 <br /> 14 ��,�` ���" '�� ��> . ��,;,.��s�'� <br /> �'�'' �,w�'� <br /> � ��� � # ����� <br /> 15 ��`' <br /> �',� �. �� ;�"� <br /> 16 y , _"�";�.''g� � �� � <br /> �7 °� ,, . � �„.. �,� � r � „ � . <br /> , <br /> 11 �� 'a {' r�-� '�� {r <br /> 1 t4 z( �� , \C ��s <br /> � '•.. .. i�. , <br /> . , -, <br /> 19 � . „ ... _ .. a ..� o. t <br /> ...� r = '" �""�'- .. <br /> 2� > _y �«.,� <br /> , - , <br /> . � � <br /> 2,1 �; ..�:. . .

All buildings located within designated landmark properties should be maintained <br /> 33 properly. (See Section B Materials: Wood, Masonry, Architectural Metals, and <br /> 34 Roofing for more information about the appropriate techniques for different <br /> 35 building elements.) <br /> 36 <br /> 37 III-A-2. Trees and vegetation surrounding local landmark buildings should be trimmed <br /> 3s and pruned as necessary to prevent long-term damage to adjacent structures. <br /> 39 Root systems can be particulariy damaging to foundations as well as being <br /> 4o histarically inappropriate. Foundation piantings are not historically accurate for <br /> 41 structures built before 1900. Any type of tree or vegetation near electrical lines <br /> 42 should also be regularly trimmed. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 <br /> 45 B. MATERIALS: WOOD, MASONRY, ARCHITECTURAL METALS, AND ROOFING <br /> 46 <br /> 47 WOOD <br /> 4s Historically, wood--both as a structural and a decorative element--was the most <br /> 49 commonly used building material in Orange County. It can be used for a number <br /> 50 of building materials including, weatherboards, shingles, chamfered or turned <br /> 51 porch posts, milled window sashes and paneled doors. It is important for wood <br /> 52 features and surfaces to be preserved and maintained properly and appropriately. <br /> 53 <br /> 9/27/2090 Dratt Orange County Design Standards 26 <br />
