The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4. Residential Standards: Additions to Contributing Single Family and Multi-Family Structures 4.1: Preservation of Historic Character Construct additions so as to require the removal or modification of a minimum of historic fabric. Do not construct additions which will require the removal of any portion of the front façade. Design additions to existing residential buildings to reflect the form and style of the existing house. The proposed addition is constructed at the rear wall of the house and will require removal of only material at the back wall. It appears to reflect the house’s form and style. 4.2: Location. Locate new additions and alterations to the rear or rear side of the building so that they will be less visible from the street. See 4.1. 4.3: Roof, Fenestration, and Siding. 1. Make the pitch and height of the roof of the addition compatible to that of the existing house. 2. Make windows visible from the street on any addition compatible with those on the existing house in terms of sash configuration, proportion, spacing and placement. 3. Use exterior siding materials on the addition which match or are compatible with that of the existing house. The roof pitch and height of the addition appear compatible, as do the street-facing windows. The exterior siding is compatible with and differentiated from the historic-age siding. 4.4 Size and Scale of Additions. 1. Design additions to have the same floor-to-ceiling height as the existing house. 2. Locate second story additions at least 15’ back from the front house wall. The front house wall is the exterior wall closest to the street. Houses on corner lots have only one front wall. 3. Design additions so that they do not overwhelm the original building.
