The Board of Trustees hereby finds that excessive
uniformity, dissimilarity, inappropriateness of design of structures
and the inappropriate development of parcels which fails to consider
the impact of parking, means of access, screening, preservation of
slopes, native trees and shrubs, landscaping, vistas, location, dimension
and architectural features of structures and the impact of the proposed
development on neighboring properties adversely affects the community.
It is the intent of this article to establish procedures and design
criteria necessary to avoid such results and to preserve natural resources,
such as native trees, shrubs and slopes, and enhance the character,
historical interest, beauty and general welfare of the Village and
to ensure that the development of parcels and design of structures
in the Village shall aid in creating a balanced and harmonious composition
of the whole, as well as in the relationship of its several parts.
