1 BUILDING TYPES: SINGLE FAMILY: DETACHED PAGE 21

2 MASS AND SCALE: ON SLOPED S, STEP THE STRUCTURES WITH THE NATURAL TERRAIN Design upper fl oors with smaller fl oor area and lower fl oors to be near grade. STRUCTURE THAT STEPS WITH THE NATURAL TERRAIN STRUCTURE THAT STEPS WITH THE NATURAL TERRAIN PAGE 22

3 MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF MASS Reduce mass by incorporating off-set walls and roofs, building bases, porches, decks, chimneys and roof overhangs. Establish a cohesive design that avoids excessive complexity. Break up building walls to minimize the effect of two-story building walls or massive roof forms of larger structures. Height limit on all structures shall be 35 feet measured from the average front public right-of-way fi nish grade of the structure. Architectural Review Committee has the right to amend and approve or deny variances to height limits. AVOID OVERBEARING WALLS AVOID OVERBEARING WALLS PAGE 23

4 CONTRIBUTE TO CONTEXT: ESTABLISH A COMPLEMENTARY AND HARMONIOUS VISUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH NEIGHBORING STRUCTURES Buildings and structures need not look alike, or be of the same quality, but should exhibit threads of commonality among them. The common threads that could be used include similar scale, roof forms, fi nishes, colors, trim, types of window and door openings, porches, covered walkways or other major building elements. Building Images COMPLEMENTARY STRUCTURES STRUCTURES THAT ARE NOT COMPLEMENTARY PAGE 24

5 WALLS / ROOF: EXTERIOR MATERIALS Finishes should be chosen that blend with or complement the landscape. This includes the use of non-refl ective building materials, using colors that blend with the natural setting, and emphasize the use of natural materials. Walls shall be fi nished in wood clapboard (sealed with paint or stain), board and batten, cedar shingles, Hardi-Plank, fi eldstone, cast stone, glass, metal panel, or log/heavy timber. Brick is not a preferred wall material and, when used, must be limited to 30% per face. Materials that are unacceptable include vinyl siding, exterior fi nish insulation systems, high luster metal panels, mirrored/refl ective glass, aluminum siding, and concrete block. Foundation walls and piers, if exposed, should be smooth-fi nished poured concrete, fi eldstone, cast stone, or brick. PAGE 25

6 WALL ELEVATIONS Materials may be combined in a single house, but a single material should cover a majority of the house. A change in exterior wall material should occur along an inside corner or a horizontal line with the lighter weight materials located be above heavier weight materials. PAGE 26

7 WALLS / ROOF: ROOF MATERIALS Roofs shall be clad in wood shingles, (corrugated, 5 V crimp or standing seam) galvanized steel, prefi nished aluminum, galvalume, copper, clay tile, or slate. Dimensional asphaltic or fi berglass shingles shall be architectural grade. Gutters and downspouts shall be made of galvanized steel, copper (not copper-coated), anodized or aluminum. Metal rain chains may be used in lieu of downspouts. Flashing shall be copper, lead or anodized aluminum. Materials that are unacceptable include thatch, and corrugated fi berglass. ROOF LINES ROOF LINES Flat roofs are discouraged, but if used shall be no greater than 500 square feet and edged by a railing or parapet. On sloped sites, roof ridge lines should generally parallel the contour lines. ROOF LINE THAT FOLLOWS THE CONTOURS OF THE LAND STRUCTURE DOMINATED BY ITS ROOF STRUCTURE NOT DOMINATED BY ITS ROOF PAGE 27

8 OPENINGS: GLASS Glass shall be clear, tinted, or translucent. Refl ective glass is unacceptable. Glass blocks are permitted on rear facades and on side yards between lots, but are prohibited on frontages. Limit to 64 sq. ft. of glass block per face. Stained glass is permitted. WINDOWS Appropriate materials include wood, vinyl-clad wood, solid vinyl, or extruded aluminum. Windows shall be single-hung, double-hung, triple-hung, casement, awning, hopper, or fi xed. One window on each facade may be circular, semi-circular, hexagonal, or octagonal. Windows may be quarter-circular when paired in a gable end. Multiple windows in the same rough opening shall be separated by posts at a minimum of 4 inches. Snap-in or removable mullions/grids are not acceptable. SHUTTERS Shutters shall be painted wood or metal and a neutral color. Shutters shall be applied to all or none of the windows on a given facade and shaped, sized and proportioned to the window they serve. DOORS Appropriate materials include wood, steel, or fi berglass with a wood veneer. All doors shall be painted or stained and shall have glass and/or raised panes. Leaded and stained glass doors on frontages are permitted. Sliding doors are permitted on rear facades or side courtyards, not visible from streets Over scaled two story or separate transoms are inappropriate PAGE 28

9 ELEMENTS: GARAGES: Doors facing street frontage shall be a maximum of 9 ft. in width. Garage doors shall be painted or stained Garage doors shall be wood, hardboard, steel, or fi berglass with glass and/or raised panels facing the street. Location, scale, and massing of the garage will not compete with the primary body of the house. Where possible, garage entries should be oriented away from the public right of way. When visible from the right of way, a garage shall be recessed a minimum of 12 from the wall plane and shall have carriage style doors, incorporating windows. Garage doors shall be the same or darker tone than the main body of the house. CARPORT: A carport shall be a covered automobile shelter associated with a separate dwelling with one or more sides open to the weather. Material should be consistent with main structure. All carports must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee. ENTRIES: Primary entry should be readily identifi able from the public right-of-way. Finished fl oor elevation of the primary entry shall be no more than 3 ft. above grade at built-to line. PORCHES: A porch may serve as a part of the entry or a separate outdoor living area. PAGE 29

10 PORCH Acceptable porch materials include wood, concrete faced with brick, local fi eld stone, synthetic wood or cast stone. The depth of a porch shall be a minimum of 8 ft. DECKS / PATIOS: DECK MATERIALS Decks and stairs shall be pressure-treated wood, synthetic wood, or composite wood. PATIO MATERIALS Patios shall be concrete, brick, or stone. AWNINGS Awnings are permitted pending Architectural Review Committee approval. Rectangular in shape with straight edges. May have side panels but no bottom soffi t panel. Shall not be backlit. STATUARY Plans for any large stationary item used for decorative or ornamental purposes must be submitted to and approved by the Architectural Review Committee before installation. This includes items such as lawn ornaments, garden statues, fountains, etc., which must be used with care and placed in such a manner as not to detract from the natural setting of Fanning Bend.

11 SECONDARY STRUCTURES: A SECONDARY STRUCTURE SHOULD RESPECT THE MASS AND SCALE OF THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE Divide the mass of a larger structure into modules to reduce its perceived scale. A secondary structure should have a one-story element where visible to public view. A SECONDARY STRUCTURE SHOULD RELATE TO THE GENERAL CHARACTER OF THE PRIMARY BUILDING IN MASS, SCALE, FORM AND MATERIAL Basic rectangular forms with hip, gable or shed roof are generally appropriate. Contemporary interpretations of traditional accessory structures are appropriate when they are compatible within the general context of the area. While roof line does not have to match that of the main house, it is best that it does not vary signifi cantly. Roof of accessory structures should not exceed the height of the primary structure.
