REHABILITATION AND ADDITIONS 27 Building Features WOOD FACADES 1) During the repair and replacement of wood siding, it is important to consider the board size, width of exposure, length and trim details. 2) Existing wood siding, trim and details in good condition or repairable should be retained. Deteriorated wood should be replaced with wood to match the existing wood in size, shape and texture. No aluminum, vinyl or other man-made type siding materials should be used to replace or cover wood siding, trim or details. 3) Board width, length and exposure should be preserved. 4) Board trim at corners and around openings should not exceed six (6) inches except at the front door surround which may be any size or configuration, consistent with the style of the building. 5) Wood posts, where adequate to a style, should be no less than 5” X 5” and chamfered at the corners. 6) Detailing of the wood, such as beveling or beading should not be removed. 7) Vertical board and batten siding should be discouraged, unless characteristic of the style. MASONRY FACADES 1) Existing masonry features that are important to defining the overall historical character of the building should be retained if they are in good condition or repairable. Repair or replacement should be made with materials duplicating the existing masonry in color, composition and texture. 2) No aluminum, vinyl or other man-made type siding materials should be used to replace or cover masonry, trim or details. 3) Mortar joints should be repointed only where there are obvious signs of deterioration such as disintegrating mortar, cracks in the mortar joints, loose bricks, damp walls or damaged plaster work. Repointing should duplicate the existing mortar joints in size, composition, texture, color and structural strength. 4) Where brick and other masonry finishes were unpainted, they should generally remain unpainted. Painting hides detailing and alters the distinguishing original qualities of a building. Under some circumstances, particularly where the brick quality is poor or abrasive cleaning methods have been used, painting brick may be appropriate as a protective measure. ALUMINUM OR VINYL SIDING OR OTHER SIMULATING WALL Inappropriate Facade CLADDING Materials 1) Any and all additions to structures that have previously been re-sided with aluminum or vinyl siding or other simulated cladding should be rehabilitated with materials to match the existing historic structure in size, shape, color, orientation and texture. FACADE WITH A COMBINATION OF MATERIALS 1) Any and all additions to structures with a combination of cladding materials should be sided using one or more of the existing cladding materials in a manner that is in character with the style and period of the structure. TABBY PIERS 1) Replicating such unique or individual mortars is discouraged. However, repair should be considered. 2) There are varying degrees of tabby restoration, ranging from patching to structural repairs. 3) Each tabby structure should be evaluated on its own merits to determine the most appropriate repair.

Building Features BUILDING COLORS 1) Paint color selection for contributing buildings within the Eau Gallie Historic District should be appropriate to the predominant architecture of the structure and the district. 2) Highlighting architectural elements with the use of color creates a pleasing aesthetic. Colors of walls, roofing, and accents such as trim and doors, shall be coordinated to achieve a visually positive effect. 3) Colors for contributing buildings should be chosen from the National Trust for Historic Preservation paint colors collection, which is filed in the Planning and Economic Development Department. An owner may propose a different make of paint to use, but the paint must be proven to be equivalent in every respect with the selected make of paint. A maximum of three colors may be selected, one for the body of the building and one or two for the accents and trims. Refer to the Architectural Styles Section for paint color recommendations choices based on style. 4) Roof color shall be compatible with the selected wall color. Roofs may be in the color of natural roofing materials (such as slate or clay) or may be finished in shades of gray, galvanized silver, copper, brown, green, red, black, blue, or white, except that a roof made of copper may be left in its natural color. Lighter colored roof materials, such as white or galvanized raised seam metal, are strongly recommended for energy efficiency purposes. 5) Painted faux features or elements such as, but not limited to, windows, doors, shutters, or flower boxes are prohibited.
