Proposed Condition There currently is not a front porch on the property and the front of the home is of a flat elevation. Raised porches are encouraged in the OHDS guidelines. 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 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 155.23, Subd. D of the Hastings City Code. Materials The applicant is proposing to use vinyl siding on the front porch area of the home. Per the OHDS guidelines, this type of siding is acceptable provided there is a maximum of 5 inches exposed. In addition, the applicant proposes to use asphalt shingles on the roof. The deck floor will be constructed of composite decking.
