ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR THE FRENCHTOWN PRESERVATION DISTRICT Chapter VII: Guidelines for Signs Sign Context 7.1 Consider the building front as part of an overall sign program. a. Coordinate the overall façade composition, including ornamental details and signs. b. Signs also should be in proportion to the building such that they do not dominate the appearance. 7.2 A sign must be subordinate to the overall building composition. a. A sign shall appear to be in scale with the façade. b. Locate a sign on a building such that it will emphasize design elements of the façade itself. In no case should a sign obscure architecture details or features. c. Mount signs to fit within existing architectural features. Use signs to help reinforce the horizontal lines of moldings and transoms seen along the street. 7.3 A sign shall be in character with the material, color and detail of the building. a. Simple letter styles and graphic designs are more appropriate on many of the restrained, vernacular structures found on North Second Street. 7.6 Projecting signs may be considered. a. A projecting sign should be located near the business entrance at eye level, just above the door or to the side of it. b. In general, only one projecting sign per building façade is allowed. However, where the Board determines that the result would be compatible with the district, one projecting sign shall be allowed for each distinct façade module of a building. c. Note that other approvals may be required to allow a sign to overhang the public right-of-way. Permit No. 22-1042 Page 3 804 North Second Street 7.7 A window sign may be considered. a. A window sign may be painted on or hung just inside a window. Sign Materials 7.14 Sign materials shall be compatible with that of the building façade. Sign Content 7.16 Coordination of sign colors with that of the building is encouraged. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff finds the size, design, materials, placement and colors of all signs to be acceptable. The scroll bracket design of the hanging sign fits Frenchtown and the streetscape. The hanging sign will be mounted above the entrance door, in between the transoms. The sign will have a head height clearance of over 8’. The provided sample of the scroll bracket sign will have a font and logo to match the window signage, on each side of the sign. Staff recommends approval of the signs as submitted.

First floor windows are proposed as inserts which will include a coil wrap of the exterior wood trim, and the second floor aluminum windows are proposed as full replacements. Both sets of windows will remain white, and both are also proposed to retain the existing six-over-six muntin configuration between the glass on the first and second stories. As proposed, both first and second story windows will be similar in appearance. Typically, windows in the City’s historic districts feature exterior muntins, and Staff recommends the proposal be approved subject to the condition that the muntins are applied to the exterior as opposed to Case No. C/A 2021.087(EC) Page 3 616 S 6th Street between glass. While not existing, exterior muntins would be a more appropriate feature to incorporate given the year the home was constructed and be more consistent with the historic districts. Additionally, the exterior wood on the first floor windows is proposed to be wrapped, and Staff recommends a second condition that the exterior wood trim not be wrapped to retain architectural character. While the home was constructed in 1906, the second floor dormer addition was built in 1989 which substantially modified the structure. Due to this addition, the home is not likely able to be considered a contributing property in the future as it significantly altered the appearance of the structure, especially the front façade/street view. Staff recommends approval, subject to the following conditions: 1. Exterior muntins be used in lieu of the muntins between glass. 2. The exterior wood trim around the windows not be wrapped on the 1st floor. Recommended Motion: Motion to approve window replacements at 616 S 6th Street, subject to the conditions recommended by Staff. 616 S 6TH STREET Case No. C/A 2021.087(EC) Page 4 616 S 6th Street 616 S 6TH STREET WINDOW SECTION DETAIL  616 S 6TH STREET 622 567 504 715 612 549 545 508 JOH 407 537 NS DR 510 1 514 408 501 TO MP K INS 701 ST 2 511 502 621 503 519 506 509 525 520 511 523 718 710 513 519 601 524 517 706 PIK 515 700 ES T 512 519 T 600 EN 625 524 TH 608 555 520 S ST 601 EV 701 IXT 616 SS H 615 600 SS 620 EN 625 535 TO 621 619 617 626 NA VE 701 PE 604 RR 623 704 YS 722 T 610 603 627 SB 707 702 620 726 612 630 703 522 520 621 717 708 711 700 625 800 525 717 806 718 521 801 723 706 703 WA 814 TER 807 800 ST 725 720 709 818 808 724 815 565 715 822 803 726 821 814 805 721 823 816 802 MC DO 3/9/2022, 11:37:54 AM NO UG 1:2,257 HS 0 0.01 0.03 0.06 mi T Building Footprints 0 0.02 0.04 0.09 km Roadways Superimposed Districts Extended Historic Preservation District Fifth Street Corridor/ Hospital District Parcels Department of Community Development City of Saint Charles Department of Community Development  AGENDA ITEM #5C MEMORANDUM DATE: March 14, 2022 TO: Landmarks Board FROM: John Boyer, CFM Planning Manager SUBJECT: Porch Amendment 903 North 5th Street, SP-2021-08 Commons Preservation District On May 17, 2021, The Landmarks Board approved the elevations for the new construction of a single-family residence (application SP-2021-08). Currently, this structure is in the process of being constructed; however, the property owner has contacted staff concerning proposed amendments, specifically the front porch. Originally, the proposal was for a craftsmen style home with the front porch being a prominent feature of that design (see below Figure 1). Figure 1: Previously approved elevation 1 Since that approval, the applicant has run into issues with cost increases and would like to revise the design of the porch. The following is proposed (see Figure 2 for the new front elevation below):  Replace the tapered/stone support post with a straight 6x6 cedar posts, which will be wrapped in a James Hardie with a cedar finish and painted to match the door.  Revise the railings from wood newels, pickets and rails painted to match the door to a black aluminum rail and balusters.  New windows on the garage (none previously in this location), which match previously approved windows for this structure. Figure 2: Amended Elevations DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR THE ST. CHARLES COMMONS NEIGHBORHOOD Chapter V: New Construction Building Scale Standards 5.3 New buildings should be constructed to reinforce a sense of human scale, similar in scale to that established in the block. a. The front of a building should include a one-story element, such as a porch. Building Form Standards 5.8 Use building forms traditionally found on the block. a. Simple rectangular shapes are most common. Complex or irregular building shapes are usually appropriate for only late Victorian buildings which had more elaborate massing. Building Details 5.11 Use of traditional materials—such as red brick, wood, and limestone—is strongly encouraged for primary building materials. a. New materials that are similar in character to traditional materials may be acceptable with appropriate detailing. b. New materials should appear similar in scale, proportion, texture, and finish to those used historically. 2 5.12 Doors, windows, and porches should be of sizes and proportions as traditionally found on the block and in the area. a. Windows with vertical emphasis are encouraged. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The previous elevations had a lot of Craftsman design themes which were in keeping with other structures found within the Commons Preservation District. The porch support proposal represents a change from the stone/tapered supports to a much simpler design. Per the Design Standards for the Commons, front porch columns on craftsman designed homes were often square/massive and extending to the ground, which the previously approved elevations exhibited. The proposed modification, while square and simple in design, would be opposite of this distinctive element. Staff understands this is a new build which is not a historic craftsman home and that this style inspired much of this proposal; however, new construction should utilize similar forms used within the area. The picket/railings system also represent a change from the previous submittal. The Landmarks Board should discuss these changes; however, Staff believes the proposal is still generally compliant with new building guidelines/standards for the Commons district. Recommended Motion: Motion to approve the amended elevations of a single-family house at 903 N 5th Street, as submitted.
