The Architectural Review Board
recommends phased documents to be
submitted, including site analysis,
preliminary and construction drawings.
This is done to avoid unnecessary
expense or time delays on behalf of
the owner. Should a project be
disapproved, the ARB will work with
the Architect to resolve the issues that
have produced the disapproval.

All documents (whether site analysis,
preliminary or construction
documents) must be submitted along
with a completed application form (see
Section 6.)

Documents must be submitted at least
fourteen (14) days prior to a scheduled
ARB meeting to allow enough time for
thorough review. Plan size and scale
shall be 1/8” = 1’0” for the site and
1/4 “= 1’0” for the building, unless the
size of the house is such that another
scale is necessary.

In the future, documents will be in
electronic as well as hard copy.
Penciled in comments will not be
considered in the review process.

Documents must be submitted to the
ARB along with the appropriate
application fees. A full schedule of
applicable fees is included in
Section 5.

Site Analysis:

This review will help the Architect and
the owner prepare a thoughtful design,
taking into account the impact of the
building on the environment.

The First Submission should include:

Tree and Topographical Survey: The
owner will provide a Topographical
Survey prepared by a licensed land
surveyor showing the location, size,
and species of all trees over 6” in
diameter at chest height and
noteworthy small flowering trees and
shrubs. Include property lines of the
lot and all adjacent lots, easements,
and contour lines at one-foot intervals.
Indicate wetlands and any other
prominent natural features. The survey
should extend as far into the adjacent
areas as necessary in order to assure the designer of careful attention to all environmental issues.

Site Plan: The purpose of the Site Plan
is to diagrammatically indicate the
general functional layout and massing
of everything to go on the lot. The Site
Plan should include location of the
home, significant trees, visual
screening, drainage, identification of
views and vistas, impact on adjacent
homes, public areas and driveways,
site access, utility locations and areas
providing maximum privacy from
neighboring houses and lots.
