EFFECTIVE MAY 30, 2022 27 chapter 2 • Paint, repair, and provide other regularly needed maintenance. Should historic exterior wood siding require repair or replacement, the resulting materials, profiles, and designs should match the historic configuration. • Minimize the replacement of wood siding to elements that are so severely damaged that replacement is the only option. If only a small area of siding or ornamentation is deteriorated, repair or replace only the damaged section rather than an entire board or architectural detail. Do not replace more than 25 percent of the facade’s total square footage of siding unless significant deterioration can be demonstrated. • Replace deteriorated siding with siding that matches the original siding. Do not install vinyl or other synthetic siding. Smooth cement board siding may be appropriate for replacement of deteriorated wood siding on rear facades. • Remove synthetic siding and restore the original siding materials. Paint • Maintain painted surfaces of historically painted buildings or features. • Avoid painting historically unpainted buildings. • If paint removal is desired, use hand scraping or non-abrasive methods like chemical cleaning or electric head guns or plates. Use the latter with caution due to the fire hazard they possess. Avoid paint removal if it is protecting damaged bricks or other materials. • Use paint colors and schemes typical of the age and style of the building. Paint color selection is not reviewed by the HZC. Masonry • Preserve and maintain original masonry walls and details. • Repair and replace damaged masonry with new masonry that matches as closely as possible the historic color, texture, and profile of the original. • Do not paint masonry walls or foundations that have not been previously painted. The HZC may consider painting when they have had extensive patching or re-pointing, resulting in a patchwork of masonry surfaces. • Clean masonry using only the least abrasive methods possible, preferably detergent or steam cleaning. Chemical cleaning may be used if detergents and steaming are ineffective. Use low-pressure water
