FRANKLIN HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES 172 Modern Features Ramps & Lifts Ramps & Lifts • Construct ramps of concrete or wood. • Paint ramps in colors compatible with the building. • Use simple designs for ramps. Use a reversible design that offers minimal impact and does not involve removal of historic features. • Screen ramps and lifts through plantings to minimize their visual impact. • If possible, position ramps and lifts on rear or side facades where not readily visible. • Consider the use of a lift or a temporary or portable ramp rather than more permanent structures. • See the Building Code.
