EFFECTIVE MAY 30, 2022 71 chapter 3 • Minimize the visual impact of storm windows by designing them so that they appear to be part of the window. Use a full view storm window design to allow the viewing of the original window from the street. Shutters • Preserve and maintain original shutters. • Add shutters only when compatible with the architectural style of the building. • Design new and replacement wood shutters that appear operable and fit the reveal of the window precisely. Awnings • Preserve and maintain historic awnings. • Size and place new awnings in locations that respect the design of the building and do not obscure architectural features or detailing. Awnings should be proportional with and complimentary to nearby buildings and awnings. • Use shed awnings with open ends to allow less obstructed views of storefronts. • Size and place awnings to cover only the storefront display windows or transoms and fit within their openings. • Use an awning shape that matches the opening shape, i.e. rectangular awnings in rectangular openings and arched awnings in arched openings. • Use steel or aluminum frames finished to match the storefront color or the awning fabric color.
