The adopted design guidelines for the Edgewood-Park City H-1 call for new additions to be on an inconspicuous side of the historic building, limited in size and scale, to be designed so that they are clearly a new addition that is compatible with the existing building and to avoid altering the basic character of the building. (pg. 29, #12, 13 and 14). The proposed addition meets all of this recommendations.
