A.
Design guidelines.
(1)
Purposes. Inappropriateness or poor quality of design in the exterior
appearance of residential land developments adversely affects the
desirability of the immediate area and neighboring areas and, by so
doing, impairs the stability and value of both improved and unimproved
real property in such areas. It is the purpose of this chapter to
prevent these and other harmful effects of such exterior appearance
of buildings and land developments and thus to promote and protect
the health, safety, and general welfare of the community.
(2)
Applicability. These design guidelines shall apply to new construction of any residential structures requiring site plan approval by the Planning Board pursuant to § 122-61 (Site plan approval).
(3)
Design guidelines.
(a)
Height and setbacks. The height of any new residential structure shall be compatible with other residential structures in the district. Buildings shall not be set farther back than an average of its neighbors along the same block face, unless prohibited by § 122-5 (Dimensional regulations).
(b)
Building design and orientation. The design of any new residential
structure shall not attempt to create a false historic appearance,
but rather complement the existing district. Main entrances shall
be clearly evident and shall be oriented toward the sidewalk and street.
(c)
Architectural details. Architectural details such as cornices,
trim, windows and doors shall reflect the scale of neighboring structures.
The window fenestration of a new structure shall reflect that of existing
historic structures within the Village and be compatible in proportion,
shape, location, pattern and size with neighboring structures. Roof
forms shall relate to neighboring buildings in form and material.
(d)
Building materials. New residential structures shall be built
with traditional building materials such a wood, stone or brick. Modern
materials, if used, should be similar in appearance and texture to
traditional materials.
