Different style of railing  The wrap around porcha and dormer is included in the preapproved plans for other design types. The horizontal railing is not in the collection of pre-approved plans. However, the Historic Preservation Commission has approved that style on an earlier design plan (The Marina) last year.  Design Guidelines Chapter 5.0 New Construction states "New construction within a historic district can have a substantial impact on adjacent historic properties and the district as a whole. While contemporary design is always encouraged in the historic district, iti is important that this new development be compatible with the overall character of the district. Design characteristics such as building form (scale, massing, height, and orientation) and architectural elements (materials, architectural detail, windows, doors, and roofi forms) must be considered when evaluating any proposed new building within al historic district. New design that mimics historic structures to the point that there is no clear distinction between the two is strongly discouraged Since the Washington Historic District includes downtown and the waterfront as well as adjacent residential areas, the guidelines in previous sections have included provisions for different building types together. Considering the differences between commercial and residential building construction and site planning, as it relates to new construction, they are Design Guidelines Chapter 5.21 New Construction: Please review this entire section.  int the historic district.  presented separately in this section."
