be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration

the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where
possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be
substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. Staff notes
existing wood rim board has been replaced with a wider, fiber cement rim
board. Revise plans to replace with wood rim board of equal width to
existing.
