6.6 Streetscape plantings should be compatible with the context of the individual character areas. 7.1 Incorporate key view opportunities into a design. 7.4 Preserve the historic network of streets and alleys. 7.6 Minimize the visual impacts of building equipment as seen from the public way. 7.10 On a new building, locate balconies such that the traditional character of the block, as perceived at the street level, is maintained. 7.11 A new balcony should be simple in design so as not to detract from the historic character. 9.1 Maintain the alignment of building fronts along the street. 9.3 Maintain the traditional orientation pattern of buildings facing the street. 9.8 Maintain the traditional size of buildings as perceived at the street level.
9.9 The overall height of a new building shall be compatible with the character area. 9.10 Position taller portions of a structure away from neighboring buildings of lower scale. 9.11 Provide variation in building height in a large development. 9.12 Maintain the scale of traditional building widths in the context. 9.14 A new commercial or mixed-use building should incorporate a base, middle and cap. 9.15 Establish a sense of human scale in the building design. 9.16 Use simple, rectangular roof forms in commercial, warehouse and industrial contexts. 9.17 Design a roof to be similar in form to those used traditionally in the character area. 9.18 Locate a primary building entrance to face the street. 9.19 Design a building entrance to appear similar in character to those used traditionally. 9.20 Building materials shall be similar in scale, color, texture and finish to those seen historically in the context. 9.21 Contemporary materials that are similar in character to traditional ones will be considered. 9.22 Use high quality, durable materials. 10.9 A new facade should reflect the established range of building widths

compatible with adjacent properties, within the character area as a whole, and for the historic district at large.
respected.
Position taller portions of a structure away from neighboring buildings of lower scale. a. Locate the taller portion of a new structure to minimize looming effects and shading of lower scaled neighbors, especially when adjacent to smaller historic structures. b. Taller portions of a building should be compatible and not loom over adjacent buildings at any time.
In University Avenue Transition Area, the maximum building height should not exceed eight stories.
“The grain elevators should also continue their visual prominence over the rest of the district” (St. Anthony Falls Historic District Design Guidelines, Page 129).
The term “should” is frequently used in the guidelines. This indicates that compliance is expected, except in conditions in which the City finds that the guideline is not applicable, or that an alternative means of meeting the intent of the guideline is acceptable” (St. Anthony Falls Historic District Design Guidelines, Page 15).
