<br /> D: Design Standards for FENCES AND WALLS
<br /> II-D-1. Retain and preserve contributing fences and walls including their original material,decorative and functional
<br /> detailing,height and configuration.
<br /> II-D-2. Maintain and protect the surfaces,features,and details of fences and walls through appropriate methods. Repair
<br /> deteriorated or damaged surfaces and features using traditional methods. Repaint painted fences and walls to extend
<br /> useful life.
<br /> II-D-3. Replace deteriorated or damaged features of historic fences or walls to match original in size,shape,material,
<br /> dimension, pattern,texture,color and detail. Replace only the deteriorated portion or detail of a feature rather than the
<br /> entire feature whenever possible. Consider compatible substitute materials only if using the original material is not
<br /> technically feasible.
<br /> II-D-4. Replace a missing historic fence or wall feature with a new feature based upon accurate documentation of the
<br /> original or with a new design compatible with the landmark building and site in configuration,scale, height,material and
<br /> detail.
<br /> II-D-5. Introduce new fences and walls only in locations and configurations that are consistent with the character of the
<br /> landmark building and site. Construct new fences and walls of traditional materials in designs compatible with the landmark
<br /> building and site in scale, material, height,and detail. The HPC discourages the use of synthetic material such as vinyl
<br /> fencing. If vinyl fencing is the only feasible alternative,consider using wood fencing along the public right-of-ways and the
<br /> same type of fencing in vinyl along the remaining property lines.
<br /> II-D-6. Introduce utilitarian fences(such as chain link or electric)and walls, if necessary,only in locations that will not
<br /> diminish the overall historic character of the landmark building and site.
<br /> E: Design Standards for WALKWAYS, DRIVEWAYS AND ON-SITE PARKING
<br /> II-E-1.Retain and preserve walkways,driveways,and parking areas that are significant in defining the overall historic
<br /> character of the site including their width,configuration,scale, materials,curbing,and related plantings.
<br /> II-E-2. Repair deteriorated or damaged walkways,driveways,and parking areas through traditional methods of repair.
<br /> II-E-3. Replace deteriorated or damaged features of walkways,driveways,or parking areas with materials that are
<br /> compatible in appearance,color,and texture. Replace only the deteriorated portion or detail of a feature rather than the
<br /> entire feature,whenever possible.
<br /> II-E-4. Introduce new walkways,driveways,or parking areas, if necessary,in unobtrusive locations that do not compromise
<br /> character-defining elevations or important site features or views.
<br /> II-E-5. Protect mature vegetation and significant site features from damage caused by the construction of new walkways,
<br /> driveways,and parking areas.
<br /> II-E-6. Illuminate walkways,driveways,and parking areas in a manner consistent with the historic character of the site.
<br /> F: Design Standards for CEMETERIES AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL FEATURES
<br /> II-F-1. Retain and preserve historic cemeteries on landmark sites including any visual characteristics of the cemetery,such
<br /> as a stone wall,that contribute to the overall historic character of the landmark site.
<br /> II-F-2. Maintain and protect cemetery features through traditional methods of repair and appropriate pruning of plantings.
<br /> Repair deteriorated cemetery site features through traditional methods of repair and appropriate pruning of plantings.
<br /> II-F-3. Replace deteriorated or missing cemetery site features such as benches,fences,walls,grave markers, pathways,
<br /> and plantings with new features that are compatible with the historic character of the cemetery and the landmark site.
<br /> II-F-4. Locate new site features and planting in ways that maintain or enhance the historic character of the cemetery and
<br /> the landmark site.
<br /> S II-F-5. Preserve and protect all known cemeteries and archaeological resources on the property from construction and yard
<br /> work. Reduce potential damage to known and unknown archaeological resources by minimizing site disturbances and
<br /> changes that impact site terrain. It is not appropriate to use heavy machinery or equipment on sites as doing so may
<br /> damage important archaeological resources.
<br /> II-F-6. Prior to any site changes, survey and record the site,using professional archaeologists and contemporary
<br /> archaeological methods,to determine the potential impact of disturbances on any known or unknown archaeological
<br /> resources.
<br /> ? II-F-7. Record archaeological evidence that is uncovered during site work if the resources cannot be preserved in place.
<br /> G: Design Standards for EXTERIOR LIGHTING
<br /> II-G-1. Retain and preserve exterior lighting fixtures that contribute to the overall historic character of the site, particularly
<br /> the main dwelling.
<br /> II-G-2. Replace damaged,deteriorated,or missing exterior lighting fixtures with new fixtures that are either similar to the
<br /> original in material,appearance,detail,and scale or compatible with the historic landmark and site in material,appearance,
<br /> and scale.
<br /> II-G-3. Introduce and locate new exterior lighting that does not detract from the historic character of the site. Check with
<br /> Orange County Planning Staff to ensure that any lighting proposals comply with the zoning ordinance.
