(c) Repair and Replacement of Deteriorated Architectural Features. The repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be compatible with existing design, color, texture and visual qualities; however, other materials may be used.
(d) Compatible Additions. The design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall be compatible with the size, scale, color, material, and character of the property, neighborhood, or environment.
