All per specifications, diagrams, drawings and photographs submitted. <br />STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: <br />B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING, & ACCESSORIES <br />Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located near the front of each lot, with a small lawn <br />in front and a larger lawn to the rear of the property. Those properties facing the river on Riverside Drive generally <br />have sloping front lawns and flat back yards. The majority of structures have been erected on a single lot. Many of <br />the properties include a garage located at the rear of the property accessed from unpaved alleys running behind the . <br />property. Most properties have trees, shrubbery and/or hedges. All houses conform to the uniform set -back within <br />each block. <br />The district has a compact layout. Large homes are constructed on small lots while smaller homes, such as those on <br />Hammond Place, are constructed on narrow, deep lots. Little of the backyard areas or rear first stories of these <br />homes is visible from the thoroughfare. In recognition of this, greater latitude will be allowed in the application of <br />the adopted standards in the rear of the properties, in order to accommodate the individual preferences of the <br />property owners in the treatment of these backyard areas. No approval will be necessary for changes in lawn, <br />shrubs, walkways or semi-permanent surface changes in the rear of houses. Staff approval would be required for <br />semi-permanent structures such as gazebos, but not for play equipment such as swing sets, sand -boxes, etc. <br />Required: <br />Plants, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the <br />properties' history and development shall be retained. <br />Recommended <br />New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, <br />drawings and newspapers. New site work should be appropriate to. existing surrounding site elements in scale, type <br />and appearance. Accessory structures such as decks, gazebos, fountains, or small outbuildings should be <br />appropriate to surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance.
