These residential design guidelines are proposed as suggestions for ways to ensure that new single-family detached, duplex, triplex, and quadraplex housing is high quality, aesthetically pleasing, and provides a wide variety of living options for Town residents. More specifically, these guidelines are intended to:
A. Ensure single-family detached, duplex, triplex, and quadraplex homes maintain consistent exterior materials and architectural treatments on the front and sides of buildings;
B. Establish guidance regarding changes of exterior finishes and materials on individual facades;
C. Avoid garage-dominated street fronts in residential neighborhoods;
D. Encourage duplex, triplex, and quadraplex structures to appear as single-family homes; and
E. Ensure an adequate level of variability in single-family home design so as to avoid monotonous streetscapes where every dwelling appears identical or very similar to its neighboring dwellings.
