§ 85-660. Enhanced design standards.

A. 

For projects being developed in accordance with §§ 85-652 through 85-668, the Planning Board and Planning Commissioner or his designee shall consider architectural appearance as part of site plan review. The following shall apply to new structures, including additions to existing structures or those undergoing rehabilitation of greater than 50% of their assessed value.

(1) 

Residential-style architectural elements are encouraged and include: traditional siding (brick, clapboard, shingle, board and batten of wood or wood-like synthetic materials), gables, dormers, interrupted roof lines, residential-style window treatments, shutters, front porches, chimneys, steeper roof pitch and related structural elements.

(2) 

Orientation of structures should favor reduced apparent mass as viewed from the street. This could include reduced width of buildings fronting Montauk Highway as compared with depth, gabled roofs oriented with the ridge perpendicular to Montauk Highway and/or other creative elements to reduce the apparent mass.

B. 

Architectural plans, including elevation plans, proposed materials, color and related architectural information, shall be submitted in connection with site plan review. If design and material of all elements of the building comply with these guidelines, the Commissioner or his designee can approve the architectural plans in lieu of the Planning Board.
