Design standards. New development proposed within
the V-1 Village District, as well as the rehabilitation, alteration,
or modification of existing structures or uses, shall comply with
the following design standards:
(1) New development proposed within the V-1 Village District shall be designed to complement the historic character of the village in regard to building placement, style, bulk, construction materials, and site design. Those portions of the district that are located within the Historic Preservation Overlay District of §
370-32 shall also comply with the applicable provisions of that section.
(2) The removal of mature trees shall be limited to the individual building sites, and access to the sites and shall comply with the standards set forth in §

(3) The use of a traditional grid street pattern or one
that is similar in nature to the existing village development pattern
is the preferred design of new roads in the V-1 Village District.
The use of curvilinear streets and culs-de-sac is discouraged.
(4) A pedestrian orientation shall be maintained in the
village and sidewalks or walking paths provided.

taken from a private driveway or alley. Where site constraints prohibit
parking to the rear of the main dwelling, front facing garages shall
be set back a minimum of eight feet from the front facade of the dwelling
unit. If the front facade is not uniform, the eight-foot setback shall
be measured from the point of the facade nearest the street.
