voids and gaps must utilize brick paver materials and acceptable installation methods whenever <br />applicable. When utility work dictates the removal of street sections (pavers), the original <br />materials will be reinstalled. Brick streets shall be patched with brick pavers. Concrete, asphalt, <br />fillers and similar materials shall not be used. <br />All original streetlights shall be maintained, especially the George Cutter "Park View" streetlights <br />designed by the Cutter Company for this neighborhood. Present efforts by the Neighborhood <br />Association and the Historic Preservation Commission to restore "Park View" streetlights to the <br />district shall continue. Any change in lighting must receive approval of the Historic Preservation <br />Commission. <br />New or different fencing requires a C of A and shall reflect the style and character of the individual <br />property and the surrounding environment and properties. <br />Recommended <br />The current or historic character of lawns should be preserved. Front yard areas, common lawns <br />and tree lawns should remain open. New or replacement trees should be compatible in variety <br />with those presently growing. Vacant lots should be kept landscaped appropriately while vacant, <br />and may be used for recreational or residential development. <br />When replacement of utility poles or power supply lines is necessary, consideration should be <br />given to underground conduits or utility poles erected along rear property lines. <br />Prohibited <br />Existing relationships of buildings and their environments shall not be destroyed by widening <br />existing streets, applying asphalt or other bituminous coverings or by introducing new streets or <br />parking lots. Signs, streetlights, benches, new plant materials, fencing, walkways and paving <br />materials which are out of scale or inappropriate to the neighborhood may not be used. The erection <br />of high walls or barriers, which would alter the relationship of the houses, shall be prohibited. <br />Utility poles with high intensity overhead lights shall not be used on main thoroughfares. <br />B. BUILDING SITES LANDSCAPING & ACCESSORIES <br />This section focuses on individual properties and amenities. Building sites tend to be irregularly <br />shaped, of varying topography and with different setbacks with regard to plots. Alleys are generally <br />behind houses. Landscape accessories like fences are unique to each structure. Chapin Place <br />presents a unique situation within the district. Applications from properties that have property <br />lines on Chapin Place will be considered on a case-by-case basis. <br />Required <br />Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible <br />from the street) as well as trees located in a yard or tree lawn which reflect the property's history <br />and development shall be retained. <br />A tree located in such areas shall only be removed if the removal is required due to storm damage, <br />disease, threatened damage to a structure or for such other reason acceptable to the Historic <br />Preservation Commission. Storm damaged or diseased trees should then be replaced with an <br />approved species at the same or approximate location wherever possible. <br />Fencing visible from the street in front of the structure shall be open (meaning spaces between the <br />pickets) and consistent with the historic character of a structure enclosed. <br />Recommended <br />New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property <br />found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to <br />existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Front yard areas should remain <br />open. (See above for information regarding fences.) Trees in close proximity to a building may <br />cause structural damage. Owners are encouraged to remove these trees and replace (or replant) <br />them at a more appropriate location as soon as planting season permits and upon approval of a <br />CofA. <br />Prohibited <br />No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings <br />or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. <br />Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped, <br />nor enclosed by solid fences, chain link, nor industrial/commercial style fences. <br />The installation of unsightly large devices, such as television satellite dishes, skylights or solar <br />panels, shall not be permitted in areas where they detract from the architecture of a building, are <br />
