OHDS REVIEW OHDS Intent Original Hastings Design Standards (OHDS) preserve and enhance traditional neighborhood design by reflecting the general characteristics of buildings dating from 1845 to 1940, which is the predominate era for building construction within the OHDS District. OHDS regulations ensure traditional neighborhood design by incorporating design features such as alleys, carriage houses, front porches, period sensitive housing design, sidewalks, and traditional street lighting. Design standards create and enhance the character of older OHDS Review #2007-21 Chandler 638 7`h Street West Planning Commission Memo -May 14, 2007 Page 3 neighborhoods by establishing regulation to guide property development and rehabilitation consistent with the unique historic character of the neighborhood. The OHDS are derived from the Design Guidelines for Original Hastings, adopted in 2003 by the City Council as part of the Heart of Hastings Master Plan. OHDS regulations are located found in Chapter 10.14, Subd. 4 of the Hastings City Code Garage Location and Access The location of the garage and access from 7th Street are acceptable. OHDS prohibits new garages from directly abutting a public street if an improved alley way abuts the property. The property does not abut an alley. The garage would adhere to the five foot minimum setback requirement from the rear and side property line. Garage Exterior Materials 4" double lap vinyl siding would be used along most of the exterior. The siding would be khaki in color to match the house. Portions of the east and west building elevations would have exposed cinder block walls along the slope of the hill. OHDS requirements allow for vinyl siding up to five inches exposed. Exterior materials are acceptable with the following change: 1) Exposed concrete block must be painted to match the building. Roof Materials Roofing materials and pitch meet OHDS requirements. 25 year slate colored asphalt shingles are proposed on a 10/12 roof pitch. The materials and roof pitch match the existing home.
