Board flags paint and masonry as appendices to expand design guidance
Summary
Board members agreed the core design-standards document should be preserved but that paint and masonry guidance need fuller appendices or extended 'A-to-Z' entries; members emphasized material conservation over aesthetic color regulation.
Board members reviewed outstanding appendices for the design standards and debated whether paint and masonry guidance should be expanded in the core A-to-Z guidance or added as appendices. Speaker 1 emphasized technical guidance on materials conservation and repair rather than color control.
"And we're not talking about the colors of the paint. We're talking about the, you know, how paints are used," Speaker 1 said while describing the scope of a potential paint appendix. Members proposed an appendix outlining paint types, breathable coatings for masonry, mortar joint guidance and appropriate repair approaches, and they discussed consolidating guidance on windows into the A-to-Z 'Windows' entry while reserving more technical materials-conservation guidance for an appendix.
The board tasked a small group to check existing drafts on the shared drive and to prepare more detailed outlines for paint and masonry guidance to be circulated to the board for review.
