�}�. 1 III-B-19. Replace a missing architectural metal feature with a new feature based upon 2 accurate documentation of the original or a new design compatible with the scale, 3 size, material, and color of the building on the local landmark property. 4 5 I 6 Roofing 7 Roof material is another important �,` =�,�''�� � 8 character-defining element.

A properly painted metal roof � � �� i 17 should last for generations. Slate �g roofing, a popular treatment during the Victorian Period, never gained widespread 19 use in Orange County. However, efforts should be made to preserve slate roofing 2o where it exists, since a properly maintained slate roof will outlive its asphalt 21 counterpart. The HPC discourages property owners from re-roofing contributing 22 buildings with asphalt shingles when information about their historic roofing 23 material is available, unless the additional expense of another material would 24 cause undue hardship for the owner. 25 26 2� DESIGN STANDARDS for Roofing 28 29 III-B-20. The original roof material should be preserved whenever possible. 30 31 III-B-21. Roof trim (fascia, soffit etc.) should be maintained and preserved. Necessary 32 repairs should be made using the same materials and the same pattern as the 33 original detail. 34 35 III-B-22. Roof material on new additions should be compatible with existing roofs in 36 material, type, color, etc. 37 38 39 C. ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS & DESIGN 4o Exterior details, such as molding and trim, provide a lot of information about how 41 and when a building was constructed. The size and spacing of the windows as 42 well as the light pattern (number of window panes in the sash i.e., six-over-six, 43 four-over-one, etc.) provide information about the period of construction and 44 contribute to the overall appearance of the building's elevation. A two-story house 45 with five large two-over-two windows per floor will have a very different 46 appearance or feel than the same two-story house with two small six-over-six 4� windows per floor. 48 49 When considering an addition or modification to a historic elevation analyze what 5o already exists. Once the key elements of the Local Landmark building are 51 identified and defined, design a new addition that is visually compatible. The 52 following section of the guidelines focuses on some of the specific elements that 53 give a historic building its character: 54 ■ Size and Scale 9/27/2010 Draft Orange County Design Standards 30
