Applicable Guidelines
Village of Concord Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knox County Commission on October 22, 2001.
    • Residential Buildings: Recommendations
    • 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.
    • Fencing: Chain link fencing may be allowed in the rear yard. If you decide to use chain link fencing in the rear yard, consider painting it a dark green or using it as a trellis for roses, vines or other landscape material. It will not be as obvious if painted or used as a trellis. Since chain link fencing is not an appropriate historic fencing material in Concord, this is an important design consideration.
    • Secretary of the Interiors Standards
    • 9. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural materials, and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, materials, and character of the property, neighborhood or environment.
    • 10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structure shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would not be impaired.
