<br />Ordinance) . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />General Form <br />The form of your porch addition is the outer shape created by the exterior walls and roof. The form <br />of the addition should be appropriate and compatible to the form of your existing home. <br />recOillljJ:ei(~tfo~W;~i)~tQry'1Q!\~i\litt~~l!i~(;s_.4il:l!mTj\~~te~~Ji)'I"~'. <br />pages: <br /> <br /> <br />Roofs <br />The roof or your porch addition should be properly proportioned in shape and pitch to the rooflines of <br />the existing house. Roofing materials should match as closely as possible to the materials of the <br />existing home. <br /> <br />Exterior Walls <br />The exterior walls are considered to be those exterior surfaces from the floor line to the ceiling of the <br />porch. This surface is to be at least 65 percent open and 35 percent solid. The open surfaces are to be <br />open air or occupied by operable windows, screens, and/or full lite doors. The solid surfaces are to be <br />exterior materials that are consistent or complementary in color, texture, and quality to those of the <br />front of the existing home. <br /> <br />Base of the Porch <br />The base of the porch is not open, the base must be a concrete block perimeter foundation with frost <br />footings, and its appearance is consistent with the base of the dwelling. <br /> <br />Floors <br />Open-air porches must have floors of durable exterior grade materials such as concrete, painted solid <br />wood or brick. Enclosed porches may have flooring materials such as tile, wood, vinyl, and exterior <br />grade carpet. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Ceilings <br />Open-air porches must have ceilings of durable grade materials such as headboard or painted or <br />stained wood. Enclosed porches may have ceiling materials of sheet rock, paneling material or wood. <br /> <br />Columns <br />Structural columns should be clad in finish grade, wood trim or be a decorative shape that is <br />compatible with the design of the existing house. The columns should be expressed on the exterior of <br />the porch to help articulate the porch fal'ade. <br /> <br />Railings <br />The height and spa~ing of railing must meet the requirements of the International Building Code. <br />Acceptable railing materials are painted or stained wood and painted metal. The design of the railing <br />assembly should be compatible with the details of the existing house. <br /> <br />Landscaping <br />Integrating your porch addition into your yard is as important as its integration to your house. Plant <br />materials and landscape features should transition the porch into your yard, providing a visual base. <br />Landscaping could also be placed along the entry path. <br /> <br />. <br />
