<br />individual building style and hardscape features to evoke the village character at the indi- <br />vidual lot scale, <br /> <br />a. Front-yard planter areas and patio/plaza hardscape areas should be used to avoid <br />suburban-type, all-grass front yards. Site grading to differentiate building pads <br />from street grade can create opportunities for such landscape features and should <br />be encouraged. <br /> <br />b, All buildings - including the main house and accessory structures - should be <br />simple in overall form and configuration. The main structure should generally be <br />rectilinear in form. Square buildings should be avoided. "L"- or "U"-shaped <br />buildings should be used in lieu of square building forms. <br /> <br />d. Building siting should permit major views through to outlying areas and to create <br />varied front-yard street views. <br /> <br />e. Secondary roof elements can be shed, gable, or hip, which generally do not extend <br />into the upper quarter of the main roof. <br /> <br />7. Roofs: <br />The roof is the most significant element of the building and should be simply shaped and <br />not complicated. The roof is primary in providing clarity to the overall building form. <br />Gable roofs should generally dominate the roof form character on the cul-de-sac, <br /> <br />a. Roof Pitch: <br /> <br />· Roof pitches for the main house and any accessory structures should be a <br />maximum of 6: 12. Flatter pitches for portions of roofs, e.g., the roof over a <br />covered front porch, are allowed when a 6:12 pitch dominates the total roof <br />form. <br />· All roof pitches should be the same except for: (I) porches that extend <br />from single-story building mass (here the roof pitch shall maintain an abso- <br />lute 4:12 minimum); (2) reduced pitches near eave lines that do not have <br />secondary elements from them (used only on a limited basis); and, (3) in- <br />creased pitches on dormers and gable ends. <br /> <br />b. Roof Penetrations: <br />Roof penetrations, excluding chimneys, should be minimized, organized, occur <br />primarily at the rear of the house, and be painted the same color as the roof. Eave <br />vents for plumbing are encouraged over pipe penetrations through the roof. <br /> <br />IR 06:035 <br />Page 4 of 12 <br />
