4) The wood deck is to be constructed at east side of rear and will not br prominently visible from the front.

5) The walls to be removed were late-add to enclose the small rear porch.

6) The proposed single-light window (approx 46x 22) to be added high on the rear façade will not destroy significant historic fabric and will not be visible from the street.

7) The wooden deck expansion will not destroy historic material and could be easily removed in the future.

PARK CITY EDGEWOOD DESIGN GUIDELINES (Considered to be most pertinent by staff. The HZC may consider the guidelines in their entirety.)

WINDOWS p. 16
Windows are a very important architectural element in the historic district's buildings, helping to define each building's character. They are usually wooden and are hung so that both the bottom and the top sash can open (double-hung).

1. Reuse original windows. It will be much less expensive and much better historically to retain the original windows.

2. Storm windows are often considered when a homeowner wants to increase the heating and cooling efficiency of a building. Interior storm windows that cannot be seen from the street might be a better alternative to exterior storm windows. If exterior storm windows are used, they can be wood, or color clad metal to match the building's trim. Exterior storm windows shall only be used if they do not damage or obscure the original windows and frames.

3. If replacement windows are necessary, they must be the same overall size as the originals, with the same pane division, and the same muntin style and exterior depth, width and profile. Thermal sash windows that use false muntins are not acceptable.

PORCHES p.19
1. Porches on historic houses shall be repaired or replicated using wood materials for ceilings and floors, balustrades, posts and columns that duplicate the original size and design. Reconstruction of the documented original porch is appropriate.

ENTRANCES pp.20-21
An entrance door should be consistent with the design of the historic house. . .If the original entrance is present, it should be reused.

5. Service or rear entrances shall not be altered to make them appear more formal by adding paneled doors, fanlights or sidelights.

6. Secondary entrances shall be compatible with the originals in size, scale and materials.

7. Determine if a storm door will be instrumental to saving energy. If a storm door is used, it must have a color-clad frame and a full view glass, or be designed to respect design features or the
original entry door.


SECRETARY OF INTERIORS STANDARDS
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.

6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials.

10. New additions . . . or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
