• <br />D. Walkways and Driveways <br />1. Use appropriate traditional paving materials like brick, stone, and <br />scored concrete. <br />2. Limit asphalt use to driveways and parking areas. <br />3. Place driveways through the front yard only when no other rear access <br />to parking is available. <br />4. Avoid disturbing landscape. <br />E. Parking Areas & Lots <br />1. Retain historic buildings when providing areas for parking. <br />2. If new parking areas are necessary, construct them so that they <br />reinforce the street wall of building and the grid system of rectangular <br />blocks in commercial areas. <br />3. Locate parking lots behind buildings. <br />4. Screen parking lots from streets, sidewalks, and neighboring sites <br />through the use of walls, trees, and plantings of a height and type <br />appropriate to reduce the visual impact year-round. <br />5. Avoid excessive curb cuts to gain entry to parking areas. <br />6. Avoid large expanses of asphalt; on large lots, provide interior <br />landscaping and pedestrian walkways. <br />7. Provide screening from adjacent land uses as needed. <br />8. If large parking lots or garages are constructed, provide water for <br />planting maintenance, provide adequate shielded lighting to provide <br />security in the evenings, and designate special parking areas for <br />motorcycles and bicycles. <br />F. Garages, Sheds, and Other Structures <br />1. Choose designs that are compatible with the major buildings on the site <br />or take clues and scale from older outbuildings in the area. <br />2. Use traditional roof slopes and traditional materials. <br />Design Review Guidelines <br />Page 13 of 14 <br />
