Applicable Guidelines
Edgewood-Park City Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on July 29, 1997.
See Guidelines- Roofs
- 1. Make the shape and pitch of roofs on new construction imitate the shape and pitch of roofs on neighboring existing houses or other houses of the same architectural style. Replacement roofs must copy the shape and pitch of original roofs, and the soffit, fascia, and trim detail between roof and wall should mimic the original.
- 2. The eaves on additions or new buildings shall have an overhang that mimics the original eaves.
- Porches
- 1. Porches on historic houses shall be repaired or replicated using wood materials for ceilings and floors, balustrades, posts and columns that duplicate the original size and design. Reconstruction of the documented original porch is appropriate.
- 2. New buildings constricted in Edgewood-Park City must contain front porches large enough to provide seating. The proportion of the porches to the front facades is to be consistent with the historic porches in the neighborhood. Details such as columns, posts, piers, balustrades and porch flooring and ceilings will be built with materials that are consistent in appearance with historic materials.
- Wall Coverings: Wood
- 2. Replacement siding, trim, and patterned shingles shall duplicate the original.
- 4. Repair wooden features 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.
- 7. An entire wooden feature that is too deteriorated to repair or is completely missing must be replaced in kind. If features are replaced, the materials they are made from shall be compatible with the original in size and scale. Replacement parts must be based on historical, pictorial, and physical documentation. If documentation does not exist, a new sympathetically designed feature would be better than a hypothetical 'old' one.
