CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL PER 3.20.2025 HZC DECISION: 1) storm window specifications, porch railing detail, final window selections, and final skylight selections to be submitted to staff for approval.

A. Roofs
1. The shape of replacement roofs or roofs on new construction shall imitate the shapes of roofs on neighboring existing houses or other houses of the same architectural style. Roof pitch shall duplicate the 12/12 pitch most often found in the neighborhood or replicate the pitch of neighboring building. Roof shapes shall be complex, using a combination of hips with gables, dormers where appropriate to the style, turrets, or other features that emphasize the importance of Victorian-era or Craftsman styling.
3. Repair or replace roof details (chimneys, roof cresting, finials, attic vent windows, molding, bargeboards 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 roofing materials originally found in the neighborhood. Asphalt or fiberglass shingles can be appropriate, as are wood, slate, standing seam metal, or metal shingle or tile roof coverings. The color of roofing materials should be a dark green, charcoal gray, black or dark reddish brown to simulate the original roof colors.
5. Do not place solar collectors or modern skylights on roof areas that are visible from the street, and do not install them where they interfere with decorative roof elements.
6. Roofs that are visible from streets shall retain their original shapes. Do not introduce roof elements such as dormers to a roof shape that is original.

B. Windows
1. Original windows shall be reused if possible. It will be much less expensive and much better historically to retain the original windows, and it is inappropriate to replace them with new windows that differ in size, material or pane division.
2. If replacement windows are necessary, they shall be the same overall size as the originals, with the same pane division and the same muntin depth, width and profile. They shall be the same materials as the original windows, which were generally wood.
3. True divided lights shall be used in replacement window sashes with more than one pane.
5. It can be appropriate to design and install additional windows on the rear or another secondary elevation. The design must be compatible with the overall design of the building.
6. Windows may not be blocked in. They must retain the full height and width of the original opening.
7. Storm windows can be allowed as a way to increase the energy savings of a historic house. Interior storms should be considered. Exterior storms can be appropriate, if they are designed so their meeting rail duplicates that of the original window, and if they are wood or color clad metal, matching the building's trim. Exterior storm windows shall not be used unless they do not damage or obscure the original window and frames.
8. Reuse existing, serviceable window hardware.

C. Porches
1. Historic porches on houses in Old North Knoxville should be repaired, or may replicate the original porch if documentation of its size and design can be discovered.
2. Design elements to be incorporated in any new porch design must include tongue and groove wood floors, beadboard ceilings, wood posts and/or columns and sawn and turned wood trim when appropriate. If balustrades are required, they must be designed with spindles set into the top and bottom rails.

D. Entrances
6. Service (rear) entrances may not be altered to make them appear to be formal entrances by adding paneled doors, fanlights, transoms or sidelights.
7. Secondary entrances must be compatible with the original in size, scale and materials, but clearly secondary in importance.

E. Wood Wall Coverings
1. Synthetic siding is inappropriate and is not allowed either as replacement siding on existing buildings or new siding in new construction.
3. Replacement siding must duplicate the original. Trim and patterned shingles that must be replaced must also duplicate the original material.
5. Wooden features shall be repaired by patching, piecing-in, or otherwise reinforcing the wood. Repair may also include limited replacement with matching or compatible substitute materials, when elements remain and can be copied.
6. Wood features that are important in defining the overall historic character of the building shall not be removed.
7. Replace only deteriorated wood. Reconstructing in order to achieve a uniform or "improved," "new" appearance is inappropriate because of the loss of good historic materials.
8. An entire wooden feature that is too deteriorated to repair or is completely missing shall be replaced in kind. If features are replaced, the materials they are made from shall be compatible with the original in size, scale and material. Replacement parts should be based on historical, pictorial and physical documentation.
