   The following standards apply if a project under this rule involves restoration:

(1) Every reasonable effort shall be made to use a property for its originally intended purpose or to provide a compatible use that will require minimum alteration to the property and its environment.

(2) Reinforcement required for structural stability or the installation of protective or mechanical systems shall be designed and placed, if practicable, so as not to intrude upon or detract from the aesthetic and historical quality of the property.

(3) If archaeological resources are disturbed during restoration, the recovery of archaeological material shall be undertaken in conformance with current professional practices.
