114 ENVISION FRANKLIN | Design Concepts USES Primary Single-Family Residential, Duplexes, Townhouses, Farmstead Residential, Small-Scale Multifamily, Live-Work, and Institutional (See Special Consideration) Secondary Accessory Dwellings and Local Commercial FORM Building Placement Development should be clustered to preserve a minimum of 70 percent of natural open space. Residential lots and infrastructure should be located to respect natural features and to maximize the size of undivided open space areas. Grading techniques that dramatically alter site vegetation and topography should be prohibited. Developments should use the natural, existing topography and minimize grading to the maximum extent practicable. Buildings and their main entrances should be oriented toward the street. Double frontage, reverse frontage, and flag lots are discouraged. Front-yard setbacks should be consistent along each block, but may vary between neighborhoods or between sections of neighborhoods. Side- and rear-yard setbacks of new buildings should be designed to maintain privacy for both new and existing neighboring properties. Cottage court designs, where several cottages front a common open space, are also appropriate as a part of the overall development. Building Character Architectural sensitivity for new developments should be observed. The style and architecture should draw from the character of the surrounding area and historically significant buildings. Detached garages and attached garages that face the side or rear are encouraged over attached, front-facing garages for single-family residential development. If attached, front-facing garages are proposed, the garage should be recessed from the front facade of the dwelling. Other dwelling types, such as duplexes and townhouses, should have rear-entry garages. Building Height Maximum of two and one-half stories. Mixed-use buildings that contain small-scale multifamily residential above first-floor commercial uses may have a maximum height of three stories. Residential buildings, including small-scale multifamily buildings without commercial, should not exceed a maximum height of two and one half stories. Lot Size Lots on the periphery of developments should be sized to be consistent with the existing lots of adjacent neighborhoods. Single-family lots with dwellings having attached garages that face the front, side, or rear should have a minimum width of 65 feet and a minimum lot size of 6,500 square feet. Single-family lots with dwellings having no garage or an alley-loaded garage have no lot width minimum. VILLAGE GREEN
