Preservation Standards AND Guidelines August 1, 2012 2.9 PUBLIC PROPERTY AND RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPROVEMENTS POLICY: The public spaces within historic districts; for example streets, sidewalks, parks and parkways; are character-defining features and should be preserved and maintained. The City of Oklahoma City, utility companies, historic property residents, and historic property owners all play roles in maintaining these features; and the introduction of new features should be as compatible as possible with the historic districts. DESIGN JUSTIFICATION: The existing concrete streets and sidewalks are important character defining features of the city‟s historic districts. The introduction of new elements in the districts such as utility meters, switching boxes or postal service mailboxes should be carefully considered for compatibility with the streetscapes and overall character of the historic properties and districts. SUSTAINABILITY JUSTIFICATION: Maintaining parks and parkways provides permeable ground surface for rain absorption and plants for carbon dioxide generation and publicly accessible shade. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW: ACTIONS THAT REQUIRE REVIEW AND MAY BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED 2.9.1: By definition, streetscape improvements are actions beyond maintenance and have the potential to alter important characteristics of the site and setting of a historic district and property. Whenever new materials, components, or features are proposed, there will likely be sustainability considerations. 2.9.2: Plans for any proposed changes to or in the public right of way in or surrounding historic districts or properties, including those of telecommunications or utility providers and changes to street locations and sizes, must be submitted for review and approval using the standard application and process for a Certificate of Appropriateness. 2.9.3: Planning Department staff will determine the impact on the character of the historic property and district, compatibility with preservation policy and the provisions of these Standards and Guidelines, and compliance with the applicable portions of the Historic Preservation Ordinance included in Chapter 59 of the Municipal Code. 2.9.4: Utility components such as meters, transformers, switching boxes and other such elements must be located at the back of properties as far away as possible from sidewalks, curbs and curb cuts; of minimal height; painted to blend with the immediate environment and screened with appropriately scaled landscaping. 2.9.5 Plans for proposed demolition, changes or new construction in parks or playgrounds, including playground equipment, fences, picnic shelters or other structures must be submitted for review and approval using the standard application and process for a Certificate of Appropriateness.
