Common use of Structural Elements Clause in Contracts

Structural Elements. 1. Repair or replacement of siding or trim, when done in-kind to match historic material, design, and approved color. If the existing paint color is not desirable, the color used shall be in keeping with historic color schemes approved for the recreation residence tract and consistent with FSH 2709.11,41.23g, 3d. 2. Replacement of window frames to match historic material, design, and approved color. The same historic configuration of panes must be retained. This includes energy efficient wood frames, so long as the exterior appearance matches the historic, but excludes exterior clad wood frames. 3. Replacement of glass, when done in-kind to match historic form, design, and transparency. Window and door panes may be double or triple glazed as long as the glazing is clear and replacement does not alter the historic window or door form. Energy efficient glazing may be used. This excludes the use of tinted glass, which requires consultation. 4. Repair or replacement of doors, when done in-kind to match historic material, form, and approved color. 5. Replacement of a door with a widened door to meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. It is preferable to have a wider door located on a nonprimary facade. However, if the only reasonable alternative for placement of a widened door to meet disability standards is on a primary facade, the door may be widened so long as the historic fabric and overall character of the historic appearance of the door and its surrounding wall are maintained. 6. Repair or replacement of porches, decks, cornices, and stairs, when done in-kind to match historic material and design, and the style, materials, and character of the structure, and when consistent with FSH 2709.11,41.23, 2d. 7. Addition of an accessibility ramp which blends with the historic materials and style of the recreation residence and its porch or deck. 8. Repair or replacement of foundations when the work does not change the structure's historic appearance. 9. Installation of skirting over or enclosing a structure's crawl space, constructed and painted an approved color to match or blend with the structure's historic fabric and character. 10. Repair or replacement of masonry, matching historic materials to not change the structure's historic appearance. 11. Repair or replacement of roofs or parts of roofs that are deteriorated, when done in-kind or where matching historic material and design. In areas of high fire danger, fire retardant roofing is allowed. Where health or safety is a concern, asbestos or other harmful materials may be removed. Fire retardant and safe materials, consistent with FSH 2709.11,41.23g, 4e, may be used; such materials must match the original or approved roofing color and be as compatible with the design and character of the building as possible. Adequate anchorage for roofing material to guard against wind damage and moisture penetration shall be provided. 12. Installation of removable solar panels consistent with FSH 2709.11,41.23g, 3r, where installation does not compromise historic fabric, in inconspicuous locations, so that they are not visible from the primary facade, and so that their visible features blend with historic fabric and character. 13. Structural upgrades to meet building code or health and safety standards, where such structural changes are not visible. Examples include: increasing the number of joists supporting a deck when they are hidden by skirting or the decking itself; or, repairing a chimney and/or flue with reinforced masonry, where the reinforcement is not visible to the building's exterior, so long as the original material is matched and maintained as a facade.
