SUMMARY <br /> <br />Garages shall <br />be positioned <br />to reduce their <br />visual impact <br />on Llae street, <br />this allows the <br />active, visually <br />interesting <br />features o'f the <br />house to dom- <br />inate the <br />streetscape. <br /> <br />For every four <br />fully recessed <br />rara~e$, one <br /> on, loaded <br />ra~e is <br />o~ed (but <br />not encour- <br />aged) provid- <br />ed that certain <br />criteria are <br />met:(seepa~e 9 <br />City of - "' <br />Sti~water <br />Phase One <br />Expansion <br />Area Design <br />Guidelines) <br /> <br />EXAMPLE <br /> <br />Side toaded <br />garage. <br /> <br />DETAIL <br /> <br />C. LOT-HOME POSITION GUIDE <br />1. Respond to ARC garage and home posi- <br />tion from ARC provided lot platming <br />guide. <br /> <br />2. On vertical curb streets, utilize existing <br />curb cut or pay for new location and street <br />repair. <br /> <br />3. Homes should be positioned with tn <br />respect to existing homes and tn anticipa- <br />tion of sitLug of future homes. (See: The <br />A.R.C. Lot/Home Location Guide.) <br /> <br />D. HOUSE-DOMINANT HOME DESIGNS <br /> <br />1. Reduced setbacks for homes require <br />design of homes with "tamed garages", <br />emphasizing a home's elevations and wi~ <br />clear references to building massing and <br />architectural detailing, including a recog- <br />nizable style. <br /> <br />E. LIBERTY'S REDUCED SETBACKS <br />1. 20' setback from property line (15' <br />from back of most sidewalks) allows <br />use of deeper floor plans (see City <br />requirements). <br /> <br />E TAMING THE GARAGE: <br /> <br />1. With reduced lot widths and budget con- <br />scious home design, house dominant <br />designs require creative two and three car <br />garage positioning to screen, dLminish <br />impact from road, while emphasizing home <br />entry and approach. <br /> <br />2. Not less than two car or more than four <br />spaces without ARC approval. <br /> <br />3. Garage positioning that maximizes <br />house and minimizes garage: ie. · 3 car L- <br />shaped garages with tandem spaces, turned <br />garages at side streets, court yard and side <br />load garages (where lot width permits). <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
