Applicable Guidelines
Village of Concord Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knox County Commission on October 22, 2001.
See Guidelines- ROOFS
- 1. The shape and pitch of roofs on new construction shall imitate the shape and pitch of roofs on
- neighboring existing houses or other houses of the same architectural style.
- 2. The eaves on additions or new buildings shall have an overhang that mimics the original eaves. A
- minimum overhang of at least eight inches shall be used on new buildings or additions to existing
- buildings.
- 3. Repair or replace roof details (chimneys, roof cresting, finials, attic vent windows, molding and
- other unique roof features). Use some of these details in designing new buildings.
- 4. Materials used in roofing existing buildings or new construction shall duplicate the original.
- PORCHES
- 3. New buildings constructed in the Village of Concord shall contain front porches large enough to
- provide seating. The proportion of the porches to the front facades shall be consistent with the
- historic porches in the neighborhood. Details such as columns, posts, piers, balustrades and porch
- flooring and ceilings shall be built with materials that are consistent in appearance with historic
- materials. The appropriate size for turned wood columns or newel posts is at least 4"on each side.
- Craftsman style porch columns and posts are usually 8" to 10" in depth and width.
- WALLCOVERINGS
- 12.New construction or additions to non-historic buildings shall use materials that duplicate the appearance
- of neighboring historic buildings, so that the new buildings blend with the fabric of the area. This
- includes the use of corner and trim boards, and appropriate door and window trim. If artificial siding used on
- new or non-historic construction, it must be vented every twelve inches, and should look like
- 4-inch lap siding, with appropriate duplicates of shingles or other decorative features that would have been
- found originally, unless otherwise approved by the Historic Zoning Commission.
- INFILL AND NEW DEVELOPMENT
- RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS - RECOMMENDATIONS:
- 1. Maintain the facade lines of streetscapes. Never violate the existing setback pattern by placing new
- buildings in front of or behind the historic setback line, or at odd angles.
- 2. Relate the size and proportions of new structures to the scale of adjacent buildings.
- 3. Break up boxlike forms into smaller masses like historic buildings. New buildings should be
- designed with a mix of door and window elements in the facade mimicking nearby historic houses.
- The placement of door and window openings should be imitated.
- 4. Relate the vertical, horizontal or non-directional facade character of new buildings to the
- directional alignment of nearby buildings. A new building should reinforce the horizontal and
- vertical connection between historic houses present on the street.
- 5. Relate the roof forms of the new buildings to those found in the area, duplicating existing roof
- shapes and pitches.
- 6. New buildings shall equal the average height of existing adjacent buildings.
- 7. New housing shall be built with raised foundations or designed to suggest that there is a raised
- foundation equal to the foundation height of adjacent buildings.
- 8. In new buildings, the height of roofs and eaves, stories, windows and doors shall mimic adjacent
- historic buildings.
- 9. The materials used for new buildings shall be consistent with existing historic building materials
- along the street.
- 10. Front elevations shall have a strong sense of entry.
- 11. The styles and details of historic architecture should not be reproduced.
- 12. New additions shall be located at the rear or on an inconspicuous side of a historic building,
- limiting the size and scale in relation to the historic building.
- 13. New additions shall be designed so that it is clear what is new and what is old, but should be
- compatible with existing buildings.
- 14. New additions shall not alter the basic character of the building, or cause a lessening of historic
- character.
- 15. Garages and other outbuildings shall resemble outbuildings that have been historically constructed
- in the Village of Concord. Their size and construction shall use materials that correspond to the
- original primary buildings on the lot.
