In assessing the factors of any application for a certificate of appropriateness for such structures or improvements set forth above, the following design criteria shall be considered, in conjunction with §
135-50, by the Historic Preservation Commission and the Planning Board or the Board of Adjustment, to analyze the effect that the change applied for would have on the structure or improvements within the Historic District or immediate surrounding areas, as follows:
A. The buildings marked with an asterisk in the catalog of structures (§
135-59) have been identified as being of such architectural or historic significance that they were singled out in the original Haddonfield Borough National Register nomination submission. These structures and sites meet the strict criteria of evaluation for historic preservation used by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the National Register of Historic Places. All remaining building and structures shall be reviewed as contributing to the Historic District.
B. Site and streetscape.
(1) All projects involving additions or new construction to existing
properties within, and only within, the Historic District or historic
landmark shall be reviewed in keeping with significant historical,
architectural or cultural material, and such design shall be compatible
with the size, scale, color, material, character of the property,
the neighborhood or environment.
[Amended 9-23-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-16]
(2) New construction or development, to the extent possible, shall be
consistent with existing setbacks, alignment, facade orientation to
the street, and other site characteristics.
(3) Where a historic building is sited on a lot that differs from the
predominant building pattern, the special character of the property,
including the size of the lot, the uninterrupted view from the street,
the placement of the house and accessory structures, driveways, and
other individual site features, shall be preserved.
C. Building site.
(1) Directional expression. A building within and only within the Historic
District or historic landmark shall be visually compatible with buildings
and places to which it is visibly related in its directional character,
whether this be vertical character, horizontal character or nondirectional
character.
(2) Additions and new construction within and only within the Historic
District or historic landmark shall be compatible with the existing
pattern of utilization of the building site and the structures to
which the site is physically and visually related.
(3) Each proposal shall be evaluated in relation to its particular site
characteristics, including compatibility of setback, orientation,
and rhythm of spacing between buildings.
(4) Principal elevations of buildings, which characteristically face
the street with a strong sense of entry, shall be maintained.
D. Garages and accessory structures.
(1) The siting of a garage or other accessory structure shall be consistent
with the development pattern of such structures in the immediate area
or in the district in which the property is located. The applicant
may reference historic Sanborn maps of Haddonfield Borough or historic
photographs with respect to setbacks and appropriate siting of accessory
structures.
(2) New work shall be compatible with the historic character of the setting
in terms of size, scale, design, material, roof color, and texture.
The applicant may reference historic Sanborn maps of Haddonfield Borough
or historic photographs with respect to size, scale, design, materials,
etc., of an accessory structure.
(3) All garages and accessory structures shall be located at the rear
of or on an inconspicuous side of the historic building. The HPC shall
review the size and scale of the accessory structure in its relationship
to the historic building. If the garage or accessory structure is
attached to the historic structure, it shall be designed so that there
is the least possible loss of historic material and that character-defining
features are not obscured, damaged or destroyed.
(4) It is the preference that the proposed accessory structure or addition
be designed in the character of the historic structure, while incorporating
subtle design distinctions that make it clear what is historic and
what is new.
E. Area and height regulations. Maximum building height, minimum lot
size, maximum coverage, etc., shall be as provided in the zoning provisions
of this chapter for the respective underlying zone districts, except
the Zoning Board of Adjustment may waive such regulations where necessary
to preserve historic characteristics, upon recommendations in a written
report from the Historic Preservation Commission.
F. Architectural proportions.
(1) Proportion of facade. The relationship of the width of the building
to the height of the front elevation shall be visibly compatible with
the buildings and places to which it is visibly related.
(2) Position of openings. The relationship of the width of windows to
the height of windows in a building shall be visibly compatible with
the buildings and place to which it is visibly related.
[Amended 9-23-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-16]
(3) Rhythm of solids. The relationship of solids to voids in such facades
of a building shall be visibly compatible with buildings and places
to which they are visibly related.
(4) Rhythm of spacing. The relationship of the building to the open space
between it and adjoining buildings shall be visibly compatible with
the buildings and places to which it is visibly related.
(5) Rhythm of entrances. The relationship of entrances and porches to
the street shall be visibly compatible to the buildings and places
to which it is visibly related.
(6) Relationship of materials. The relationship of materials, texture
and color of the facade and roof of a building shall be visibly compatible
with the predominant materials used in buildings to which it is visibly
related.
(7) Scale of building. The size of a building, mass of a building in
relation to open spaces, the windows and door openings, porches and
balconies shall be visibly compatible to the buildings and places
to which it is visibly related.
(8) New construction or additions. New construction or additions shall
be designed to be compatible in terms of mass, relationship of solids
to voids, and color, but exact replication or imitation of the original
historic style is not required.
G. Exterior materials.
(1) Existing buildings or structures.
[Amended 9-23-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-16]
(a)
If feasible, original surface materials shall be retained and
repaired on existing historic buildings.
(b)
In cases where a nonhistoric artificial siding has been previously
applied to a building, restoration incorporating siding that is similar
to the original historic material is recommended.
(c)
If the original surface material, which is consistent with the
architectural integrity of the building or structure, is too damaged
to repair, it may be replaced with similar material of like construction,
matching the original as near as possible in size, shape, character,
profile, and texture. The applicant must include information/evaluation
for the record that is acceptable to the HPC and shows the level of
deterioration to document that the original surface material is not
repairable.
(d)
When removing paint from wood siding, the use of destructive
removal methods such as sandblasting is prohibited.
(e)
Historically painted wood siding shall not be stripped or stained
to create a "natural" effect.
(f)
The original color and texture of masonry walls shall be maintained.
(g)
Paint or stucco shall not be removed from historically painted
or stuccoed masonry walls. Paint or stucco shall not be applied to
historically unpainted or unstuccoed masonry walls.
(h)
Masonry or mortar shall only be cleaned when necessary to halt
deterioration or to remove heavy soiling, using the gentlest method
possible, such as low-pressure water and detergents, and using natural
bristle brushes. Sandblasting, caustic solutions, and high-pressure
water blasting shall not be used.
(i)
Porch flooring, whether of the original material or using synthetic
material, shall match the size, profile, thickness, and character
of the original floor.
(2) Synthetic siding.
(a)
Synthetic siding may be used on new structures if the synthetic
siding is similar to and compatible with the siding on surrounding
buildings in terms of character, size, thickness, profile, shape,
scale, texture and color.
[Amended 9-23-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-16]
(b)
Synthetic siding may be used on new additions only if the synthetic
siding is similar to and compatible with the siding on the historic
building in terms of character, size, thickness, profile, shape, scale,
texture and color.
(c)
On existing structures, synthetic siding may be approved only
if the following conditions are met:
[1]
The substitute siding will not endanger the physical condition
and structure of the building.
[2]
The substitute siding can be installed without damaging, obscuring,
or covering any of the architectural features and trim of the building
or improvement.
[3]
The architectural feature and trim will be retained.
(d)
When the use of synthetic siding is permitted, the material
should match the historic material that is characteristic of the Historic
District in size, profile, shape, scale, texture and color.
(e)
Vinyl siding is not an acceptable alternative.
H. Roofs.
(1) The original shape, pitch, configuration, and material shall be retained
and existing materials matched to the greatest extent possible.
(2) The decorative and functional features of the roof, such as eaves,
cornices, chimneys, dormers, cupolas, gutters and flashing, shall
be preserved or, if too deteriorated to repair, shall be replaced
with construction matching the original as nearly as possible in character
of material, size, shape, texture, color and orientation.
(3) Built-in gutters that are integrated into the design of the eaves
and cornices shall be maintained. External gutters that are hung at
the edge of the roof shall not be permitted on structures with built-in
gutters. Where permitted, hung gutters shall be installed so as not
to interfere with the architectural detail. The use, shape and construction
of the gutters should be appropriate to the period of the structure.
(4) Roof additions on existing buildings shall not damage or obscure
the historic character of the roof. The roof pitch, plane and detailing
of an addition shall be compatible with the main roof.
(5) New chimneys shall be constructed of masonry, either stone, brick
or parged concrete, with a traditional ground-level base, and shall
not be cantilevered over the foundation of the house.
(6) New roof dormers shall be designed and placed so as to be in scale,
proportion and balance with the roof and the building. Dormers shall
complement the roof plane in which they are located. Dormers shall
not be placed on the front elevation. Large dormers that extend the
entire length of the roof shall not be permitted.

and rhythm of roofs along the street. Where an area has a predominant
roof type, new roofs shall be visually compatible with that type.
I. Windows.
(1) If feasible, original windows shall be retained and repaired on existing
historic buildings by incorporating new weather-stripping, repairing
the sash, adding new track, and replacing the original window molding.
(2) In cases where a nonhistoric window has previously been installed
to a building, restoration incorporating windows that are similar
to the original historic windows is recommended.
(3) If the original windows located on facades that are visible from
the street are too damaged to repair, they may either be replaced
with original matching windows that are located on a facade that is
not visible from the street, as a first preference, or be replaced
with similar material of like construction, matching the original
as near as possible in size, shape, character, profile, and texture.
The applicant bears the burden of producing documentation or information
demonstrating that the level of deterioration is such that the original
window(s) is/are not repairable.
(4) If the original windows located on facades that are not visible from
the street are too damaged to repair, they may be replaced with windows
using modern materials, provided that they match the original as near
as feasible in size, shape, number and scale of the mullions, character,
profile, and texture. The applicant must include a specific set of
information/evaluation that is acceptable to the HPC for the record
that shows the level of deterioration to document that the original
window is not repairable.
J. Mechanical equipment. Vent stacks, dormers, skylights, mechanical
and service equipment, satellite dishes, antennas, and solar collectors
shall be located so as to be inconspicuous from any public right-of-way.
K. Continuity of walls. Appurtenances of a building, such as walls,
open fencing, evergreens, landscaping and so forth, shall form cohesive
walls of enclosure along a street to the extent necessary to maintain
visual compatibility of the building with the buildings and places
to which it is visibly related.
It is the intent of this article that the Historic Preservation
Commission and the Planning Board or Zoning Board shall:
A. Consider only the exterior features of a structure or site.
B. Consider, in passing upon appropriateness of exterior architectural features in a site plan or major development, the purposes set forth in Article
VI, and consider among other things the general design, arrangements and material of the building or structure in accordance with the standards of review as set forth in this chapter, and also color, lighting, awnings, fences, landscaping and walkways, and the relationship of such factors to similar features of historic structures, which have been maintained in accordance with the Historic District Ordinance and the standards herein, within the immediate surroundings, and the position of such structures in relation to the street or public way.
C. Be strict in their judgment of plans for alteration, addition, repair, replacement, restoration, rehabilitation, or demolition of existing structures deemed to be of historic or architectural significance, as designated as such in §
135-59 of this article.
D. Be lenient in their review of alteration, repair, replacement, addition
of structures of little historic or architectural value, except where
such alteration, repair, replacement, or addition would damage the
historic or architectural value and character of adjacent or nearby
structures or the streetscape.
E. Discourage the demolition of structures that have historic significance
or that are valuable for the period of architecture that they represent
or for their contribution to the integrity of the streetscape.
F. In the case of an application for a certificate of appropriateness
permit to demolish a structure, to consider as part of that determination
the site plan and all aspects of the exterior design of the proposed
new structure.
No historical marker placed on a historic building, structure,
site or Borough property by an accredited historic or civic organization,
or the Borough of Haddonfield, may be removed or altered without the
approval of the Planning Board with the recommendation of the HPC.
All work performed pursuant to the issuance of a permit for
the alteration or demolition of a building, structure, site or object
subject to the review of the Historic Preservation Commission and
the Planning Board or Zoning Board shall conform to the requirements
of the permit. It shall be the duty of the Administrative Zoning Officer
to inspect from time to time any work performed pursuant to such permit
in order to ensure compliance. In the event that work is not being
performed in accordance with the permit requirements, the Zoning Officer
shall issue a stop-work order, and all work shall cease until the
work is brought into conformity with the requirements of the permit.
Approvals expire within two years or at the end of the building permit,
whichever is longer.
No officially designated historic landmark or contributing building,
structure, site or object within the Historic District shall be allowed
to deteriorate due to neglect by the owner which would result in violation
of the intent of this section. The owner, lessee, or other person
in actual charge of a historic landmark or contributing building,
structure, site or object within the Historic District shall comply
with all applicable codes, laws and regulations governing the maintenance
of property. It is the intent of this section to preserve from deliberate
or inadvertent neglect the exterior features of any historic landmark
or contributing building, structure, site or object within the Historic
District, and the interior portions thereof when such maintenance
is necessary to prevent deterioration and decay of the exterior. All
such historic landmarks or contributing buildings, structures, sites
or objects within the Historic District shall be preserved against
such decay and deterioration and shall be free from structural defects
through prompt corrections of any of the following defects:
A. Facades, which may fall and injure members of the public or property.
B. Deteriorated or inadequate foundation, defective or deteriorated
flooring or floor supports, deteriorated walls or other vertical structural
supports.
C. Members of ceilings, roofs, ceiling and roof supports or other horizontal
members, which sag, split or buckle due to defective material or deterioration.
D. Deteriorated or ineffective waterproofing of exterior walls, roofs,
foundations or floors, including broken windows or doors.
E. Defective or insufficient weather protection for exterior wall covering,
including lack of paint or weathering due to lack of paint or other
protective covering.
F. Any fault or defect in the building, which renders it not properly
watertight or structurally unsafe.
The following list of structures describes each building by
style number, as set forth below, and indicates by an asterisk (*)
which structures are historically and/or architecturally significant.
