Maintenance of the Facades. The Property Owner will, at all times, maintain each of the Structures and their respective Facades in a good and sound state of repair in accordance with the City's existing guidelines for the historic district in which the Property is located (the "Standards") so as to prevent the deterioration of the Facades or any portion thereof; to prevent visual obstruction of the Facades from public viewpoints such as adjacent streets; and prevent the intrusion of new improvements, walls, fences, statues, landscaping or fixtures which substantially modify the public view of the Property and its associated streetscape and open space, and are deemed to be not in accordance with the Standards delineated above. The Property Owner will request and obtain advance approval from the City Preservation Division prior to implementing any physical changes to Structures or Facades on the Property, or which would materially alter the view of the Facades from public viewpoints. This provision does not apply to routine maintenance, landscaping other than hardscape improvements, or installation of sprinkler systems. Subject to the casualty provisions of Paragraph 4 below, this obligation to maintain shall require replacement, repair and reconstruction according to the Standards within a reasonable time whenever necessary to have the external nature of the Structure at all times appear to be the same as shown in the Photographs.
