At the March 11, 2002 meeting of the Preservation Board, the Board asked the sub-committee to continue to work on design issues related to the project.

"3. Scale: All new, reconstructed or moved structures shall respect and complement the existing structures. The importance of maintaining the scale, size and proportion of the elements within the Historic District must be observed to maintain the architectural integrity. By way of illustration:

a. New, altered or reconstructed residential structures shall not be less than two stories nor more than three stories in height. Floor to floor heights shall complement the existing structures.

b. The first floor elevation shall complement and approximate that of existing structures.

c. The living area of the main residence, as measured on the outside walls, shall be no less than 3,500 square feet, exclusive of the third floor, if any, and exclusive of the garage, store rooms, furnace room and basement, if any.

5. Exterior Materials: The texture and color of basic building materials give continuity to the appearance of the Historic District. These same materials must be used in future changes or new construction as required by the appropriate Deed of Indenture. These materials, brick and stone, are the only ones mentioned in the Deeds for outer walls.

6. Roof Materials: Where visible from the street, roof materials shall be slate, tile, copper or asphalt shingles. All materials shall be in keeping with those presently used on existing residence structures. Bright colored asphalt shingles will not be considered appropriate.

7. Details:

a. Architectural details are an important part of building design. Such details related to new, altered or reconstructed construction need not, and perhaps should not, imitate details on existing buildings in the Historic District, but they should always be compatible particularly with respect to the architectural era.

b. Architectural details on existing structures shall be maintained in a similar size, detail and material. Where they are badly deteriorated, similar details may be substituted.

c. Both new and replacement window frames shall be limited to wood or color-finished metal. Raw or unfinished aluminum is not acceptable. Major windows visible from the street in new structures shall generally have an opening of similar proportion to those of existing buildings. ƒ"

The Soulard historic district standards state:
"210 Carriage and Alley Houses The facade of a carriage or alley house which faces the alley is defined herein as a Semi-Public facade."

"301 Public and Semi-Public Facades of New Construction The Public and Semi-Public facades of new construction shall be reviewed based on a Model Example taking into consideration...Site...Mass...Proportion...Ratio of Solid to Void...[and] Facade Material and material Color."

The building that the owner has submitted as a model example does not correspond with the proposed building design in several important elements.

Historically, neither carriage houses nor garages were attached to the main house, and the proposed drawings indicate the connection would be visible from the street.

The applicant has submitted plans that meet the standards except for the following:

1. A Model Example has NOT been submitted
2. The standards call for 4" vinyl siding and not the proposed 5".
3. There are no elevations submitted for the connection between the new addition and garage
