Campbellsville Local Historic District Design Guidelines
Logsdon DG. 2018. Campbellsville Local Historic District Design Guidelines. Kentucky Heritage Council; City of Campbellsville
From the introduction: "The purpose of the Campbellsville Local Historic District Design Guidelines 2018 is to provide the Campbellsville Certified Local Government/Historic Preservation Commission with standard criteria based on 'The Secretary of the Interior's Standard for Rehabilitation' with which to base preservation decisions in the local historic district. The Design Guidelines deal with all aspects of constructions, rehabilitation, and demolition. Many of the historic architectural styles common in Campbellsville are also described and illustrated. Appropriate additions, compatible new construction, and respectful rehabilitation are outlined in detail for the benefit of the Historic Preservation Commission and property owners who wish to alter the exterior of their historic properties. Property owners should refer to these guidelines as a resource when planning and designing projects or engaging in routine maintenance. The guidelines also address the growing desire for sustainability in every aspect of our built environment. Please note that all property owners in the district are required to obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for most work down in the historic districts. The Design Guidelines set forth in this manual emphasize historic primary facades and secondary facades that are readily visible from the public right-of-way. Alterations to rear facades are not as strictly regulated by the Commission because they are usually obscured by fences, trees, or by the building's placement on the lot. However, if rear facades are visible from the public right-of-way, they will require review by the Commission. In addition, alterations to non-historic properties and new construction are reviewed based on how they might impact the district's overall integrity." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Kentucky Heritage Council, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P17AF00104).
