5 DOWNTOWN DISTRICT & TRANSITIONAL DISTRICT Both the Downtown District and the Transitional District provide the Town of Carleton Place with an extensive inventory of historical built form. The original style, use, character and appearance of the built forms of the Downtown District and the Transitional District are used as a starting point for the following design criteria. When a non-historic building is altered or a new building is designed in the downtown area, the streetscape as a whole takes precedence over any individual building. Design elements such as siting, massing, proportion, composition, material choice, fi nish, and detail contribute to fi tting in with existing inventory. All development projects need not exclusively mimic traditional elements but should blend in with existing elements of character, scale and design. New work should be complimentary in appearance to the original. Restore rather than replace if possible. If replacement cannot be avoided then replacement items should be of the same style, size and general proportion as the original. Avoid new materials and construction methods if the original is still available. Traditional elements of character, scale and design to be considered with any new development application: Signage shall be restricted to storefront glazing; the horizontal signage band located above the display windows, or a hanging sign, projecting above the entrance. Backlit or fl uorescent signs are prohibited. The preferred type of sign illumination is shielded, incandescent lighting at the top or side of the sign. The size and scale of the sign should correspond to the building. CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF CARLETON PLACE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT BY-LAW 127

The installation of air conditioners, satellite dishes, hydro meters, masts, gas valves, and piping on the exterior façade of the building abutting Bridge Street are prohibited. Side elevations are required to be constructed of one material either masonry (brick or stone), solid wood siding or similar like product. Additions are only permitted in the rear yard and shall maintain the same proportions and provide for a complimentary product. Applicants should assess the current built form with regard for exterior cladding, scale and type of windows and doors, roof line and colour of the original structure. Garages shall be located at the side of the principal structure and integral to it or as a separate accessory structure. 128 CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF CARLETON PLACE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT BY-LAW
