<br />Architectural Style <br /> <br />All architecture needs to consider compatibility with the surrounding context. Ultimately, <br />choosing which architectural style to use is a matter of choice. In choosing an architectural style <br />it is not necessary to achieve an exact replication of the style with all of its characteristic details <br />and decoration. Rather, the goal should be to incorporate the most distinctive character defining <br />features of the style. <br /> <br />A"PWI'RIATE IN FILL <br /> <br /> <br />p..ttem of ~ulldln8e Ie m.lntaln..... <br /> <br />INA"I'ROI'RlATE IN FILL <br /> <br /> <br />pJlt:t<lrn fill ....,k.n I>y l.rge ol>.otruilllve bulldlngill <br /> <br />New builders should become familiar with the various architectural styles in the neighborhood <br />and particularly with those in the immediate vicinity of their property. Height and scale of <br />existing homes should be considered. Height and scale are important considerations because <br />new infill buildings are sometimes taller than one story and their height and bulk can impose on <br />adjacent structures. The height of new buildings should be considered within the context of their <br />surroundings. Buildings with greater height should consider setbacks at the second story to <br />reduce impacts on adjacent single-story structures. <br /> <br />Elevations <br /> <br />All building elevations should be architecturally detailed. Elevations that do not directly face a <br />street should not be ignored, nor should they receive only minimal architectural treatment. <br /> <br />Porches <br /> <br />Front porches are commonly found architectural features on most residences in Heninger Park. <br />The incorporation of porches on new houses is encouraged for both practical and aesthetic <br />value. These elements should be integrated to break up large front fa~ades and add human <br />scale. <br /> <br />Garages <br /> <br />Garages should be detached and constructed near the rear property of new homes. Offsetting <br />the garage behind the front fa~ade of the house, providing a side entry garage, or accessing the <br />garage from the side or rear of the lot is also appropriate. If the streetscape is such that all <br />garages are detached and set back, the new garage should follow the same siting criteria. <br /> <br />55 <br /> <br />
