Applicable Guidelines
Scenic Drive NC-1 Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on September 26, 2006.
    • New Construction, Primary Buildings, Additions and Accessory Buildings
    • 9. The recommended location for additions 
    • is to the rear or side of existing buildings. Additions to the front of buildings are strongly discouraged because they obscure the original architectural designs. Front additions are not appropriate for contributing structures. 
    • 11. The design of additions, accessory buildings, .  . and modi?cations, in particular to the front facade of the house, should be consistent with the character of the main structure.
    • 12. The roo?ng material for additions and modfications should match the existing roo?ng material.
    • "The owners of properties along Scenic Drive own 
    • a piece of history that is important now and will become more important over time, and that speaks to the architecture of the mid-twentieth century and to suburban expansion and development in Knoxville. . . . With care for the buildings and their setting, the unique characteristics of the buildings and their neighborhood will survive.  As property owners consider making changes to their buildings, they should be aware that those changes will either enhance the history of the neighborhood, or destroy it." (page 9 of the Scenic Drive Design Guidelines.)
    • Secretary of the Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation
    • 2. The historic character of all property shall be retained and preserved.  The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
    • 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use.  Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.
    • 9. New addition, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property.  The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.
    • 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
