(a) The building design guidelines, prepared by the applicant and approved with the Preliminary Development Plan, as it may be amended, may include a variety of building arrangements including, but not limited to, the bulk and shape of the buildings, open space and landscape features and architectural styles, yet the buildings shall be arranged in various groups, courts or clusters with open spaces related to the buildings to create a harmonious and coordinated
architectural design for the entire development area.
(b) Buildings shall have finished materials on all sides except those that face non-public or service areas that are thoroughly screened. Finished materials shall not include exposed concrete, cinder block, or acrylic stucco (commonly known as "dryvit" or "EIFS") except when it is used as an accent in association with recessed or protruding belt courses, wide reveals, or combinations thereof.
(c) A combination of materials, textures, colors and finishes are to be used to create visual interest.
(d) Interior spaces shall include a variety of floor arrangements, decor, and distinctive design details to reflect the design and material quality of the exterior, and the overall high quality mandated throughout the Development. To this end, the preponderance of finishes and fixtures such as appliances, hardware, windows, doors, cabinets, etc. shall be of the highest reasonably feasible quality and be near the top end of the products being currently built in the marketplace. Conversely, finishes, fixtures, appliances, hardware, windows, doors, cabinets that are of quality generally referred to as "builders grade," and commonly associated with large scale and modest
price residential developments, shall not be prevalent in any residential unit.
