Materials (See elevation designs for specific criteria.) King's Bridge Estates residential development will place considerable emphasis on the types of materials that are used on all four elevations of single-family homes. The fundamental purpose of these Residential Design Guidelines is to avoid the creation of monotonous housing product that incorporate "painted front elevations". Painted front elevations are those elevations that usually place a number of cosmetic architectural elements ranging from a veneer of brick or stone, a series of gables or particular window fenestration to a house to create some architectural variety to the product. Invariably, the front elevation will have some architectural articulation and visual interest, leaving endless numbers of side and rear elevations that are made up of vinyl boxes with no windows or improperly balanced windows. The goals of the following standards are to restore a certain design integrity on how materials are used on single family homes and attached product and to reintroduce common methods that were traditionally used in pre-war communities and is reflected in the Village's historical core. The Purpose of these uidelines are to establish design features and patterns for all of the design team to use in their planning and architectural_ design. The following are a number of technical recommendations regarding the usage of materials on single-family homes and attached product: Importance of 360 degree Architecture: All residential architecture will incorporate some of the same materials that are used on the front elevation on the side and rear elevations. The form of the design shall be continuous around the building, including the exterior materials. Architectural interest can be added to elevations by using a couple simple techniques, for example: Example of Appropriate use of Dormers to Create Interesting Roof Lines May 28th 2005 13 Architectural Pattern Book King s Bridge Estates a. If brick or stone is used on the front elevation, use brick or stone on any chimney that may be located on the side or rear elevation. b. If brick or stone is used on the front elevation, incorporate a 3' wainscot of brick or stone around the sides and rear. c. Any brick or stone that is used on a front elevation shall minimally incorporate a return around the corners of any homes. This will avoid the impression of having merely a veneer of brick or stone on the front elevations. d. Use brick or stone on all four elevations of the first floor of any single home. e. Builders that are designed with a specific architecture in mind can be constructed of frame exteriors, but the traditional design shall be carried around the residence and include a front porch or architectural amenity. 2. Qualitv of materials: Single-family homes will incorporate brick or stone when it is consistent with the vernacular design of the house. When not appropriate, in lieu of using standard vinyl siding on any elevation, the following materials will be used whenever possible: a. In lieu of using standard vinyl siding, the use of cedar clapboard, cedar shingles or hardier board will be considered. Any vinyl product that is used on a single-family home will be an architec- tural grade vinyl siding of .44 thickness or greater with backed corners. 3. Integrity of Materials: The usage of materials on single-family homes will be historically consistent with the vernacular design that is chosen by the developer. This project will promote the re -introduc- tion of original materials as they were commonly used in home construction throughout the region in the pre-war years. Example of a Typical Corner Key Lot 14 May 28th 2005 Architectural Pattern Book King's Bridge Estates B. Massing and Eave Details (See elevation designs for specific criteria.) King's Bridge Estates development will take great care in the design as it relates to the massing and composi- tion of single-family homes. Consistent with the Village's historical core and the existing rich diversity of architectural styles, new residential development will take extensive efforts in ensuring that there is a relation- ship between the composition and the massing of a single-family home. Facade compositions, especially the placement of windows are closely related to building massing. The placement of windows will not only be consistent with the massing of the house, but also will be consistent with the particular architectural vernacular that is chosen. The existing architectural of the Village's historical core exhibits the traditional methods of window placement. Whenever possible, traditional methods in window placement and treatments will be used in all future single-family residential development in the Village. In addition to the critical importance of window placement, another architectural element that will influence the design and overall appearance of a single-family home is the selection of roof style and proposed pitch of the roof. Extensive efforts will be made to ensure that there is a relationship between the massing of a building and the roof that is chosen for the structure. Roof pitches that face the street, or are through lots shall have a minimum of 8/12 roof pitch. Example of a Typical Key and Through Lot May 28th 2005 Architectural Pattern Book Kin 's Bridge Estates Single Family Home with Corner Porch and Landscaping. Key Corner Lot (See Architectural Standards) Massing Whenever possible, projections and recesses will be incorporated into rear elevations. The incorporation of bay windows or projecting breakfast rooms help provides architectural articulation and interest to rear elevations. Consistent with the Village's PUD Design Guidelines, a minimum of 2 -foot plane changes will be incorporated into rear elevations. In addition, the guidelines call for balance window fenestration. To avoid the appearance of painted on facades; rear elevations will incorporate a minimum of brick that ties the house together with the front elevation if brick is used. The above illustration demonstrates the additional architectural interest that is provided to a rear elevation when face brick is used on a projecting bay window and chimney structure. Massing to include projections and recesses to provide architectural articulation and interest throughout the overall design, including 15% of the rear key and through elevations. ki May 28th 2005 16 Architectural Pattern Book King's Bridge Estates In order to incorporate the architectural goals, the following will be required: Window Placemen : It is critical that home builders in the King's Bridge Estates community avoid the appearance of "punch out windows" on all four elevations of any single-family home. Windows will be placed on all four elevations. Additionally, great care will be given to the placement of windows and the window fenestration used. Below are a number of guidelines that will be followed with respect to window placement: a. Windows will be proportioned in a manner that creates a balanced elevation and an elevation that is consistent with the architectural vernacular of the proposed structure. Windows gener- ally will have vertical proportion and be placed in a balanced and symmetrical manner. b. Windows will be placed on all four elevations. c. Traditional window fenestration consistent with the proposed vernacular architectural style of a structure will be used whenever possible. Any window fenestration used on the front elevation will be carried through on the side and rear elevations. d. All windows will incorporate some ornamental trim work. Simple aluminum window frames with no trim work will not be allowed. e. Where appropriate, doors will incorporate covered porches, vestibules, bracketed hoods, or decorative trim work around the doorways. May 28th 2005 Architectural Pattern Book C. Garage Location and Design Estates Too often the placement of garages define the character of a residential streetscape. To avoid the scenario of long streetscapes dominated by endless number of projecting garages, great care and thought will be given to the placement and design of garages. Consistent with the Village's PUD Design Guidelines, a minimum percentage of the garages in any individual subdivision will be side loaded. Additionally, to avoid the creation of streetscapes dominated by long lines of "snout houses", garages will be recessed or project no more than a certain distance from the main structure of the house. Based on the aforesaid design goals, the following design guidelines will be used in the placement and design of garages: a. A minimum of thirty-five (35%) of the garages will be side loaded or rear loaded. b. With the exception of side loaded garages, no more than twenty (20%) of the garages will project more than five (5) feet from the main structure of the house. c. A minimum of twenty-five (25%) of the garages in any given subdivision will be set back at least five (5) feet from the front elevation of the house. d. A minimum of fifty (50%) of the garage doors will incorporate either glass panel windows or individual bay doors. D. Porches The use of porches on front elevation will be required when architecturally appropriate. Generally, porches will have a minimum depth of 6-8 feet and will be constructed in a manner where they are fully usable. With respect to the construction of porches, the style of the porch will be architecturally consistent with the vernacular style of the house. Each porch element will be clearly expressed, including the deck platform, railings, columns, headers, porch ceiling, soffit, fascia, gutter and roof. All side load and rear load residences will incorporate usable porches. on corner lots, wrap-around porches are will be considered where architecturally appropriate.

Dormers The use of dormers along the front elevations to provide additional architectural interest to roof lines will be considered where architecturally appropriate. Dormers will be habitable and have symmetrical gable, hip, shed or curved roof forms. Dormers will create the distinct roof pattern changes to allow for a change in streetscape. F. Lighting and Address Identification Another architectural element that helps provide additional interest and character to individual homes is a creative use of exterior lighting and address marker placements. Light fixtures will be consis- tent with the architectural style of the neighborhood and the house. All exterior lighting will be "down" or "area" lighting. All light sources will be white (no color lighting) and no overspill will occur on any abutting residential neighbor. All exterior lighting will be shielded to conceal any glare. Tree -up lighting will be concealed in shrubs. In addition to exterior light, each individual home will incorporate an address identification that is con- structed out of quality materials (stone or fiber- glass). If brick is used on the front elevation, a stone address identification marker will be located adjacent to the front entrance or over the garage door. Estates Single Family Frame Home With Porch,Dormer and Landscaping (See Architectural Standards) Single Family Masonry First Floor With Porch,Dormer and Landscaping (See Architectural Standards) Architectural Articulation In Rears All single-family key and through lot homes in the King's Bridge Estates will incorporate a minimum of four (4) architectural elements into any rear elevations. These architectural elements can be any combination of the list that follows: • Window line up • Shutters • Same building material as the front • Building articulation • Bay windows • Break in roof width • Change in roof type • Porches Extensive design attention will be given to the rear elevation to ensure that all residential subdivisions in the Village are constructed in a unique and innovated manner. Rear and side windows shall line up an rear eleva- tions need to be given some attention as front elevations are generally given as a rule. The following architec- tural treatments will be considered in designing any rear elevation of any single-family home in the Village, regardless of the location of the structure.

This landscape section has been designed to provide Property owners, Architects, Contractors, and Builders with important information related to the development of homes to insure a harmonious neighborhood streetscape and to protect the aesthetic quality of the overall community. The objective is to reinforce the natural character of the community. The recommended landscape character should emphasize an informal scene by encouraging use of native plant materials and natural areas. Front yard plantings will be sympathetic to overall neighborhood streetscape in form, texture and simplicity of design. This can be achieved, in the single family areas, by limiting the front yard planting to lawn, trees and informal plantings. Plantings will be designed to provide privacy for the homeowner and the neighbors. Planting along common property lines will be informal unsheared plantings.

All original landscape plans must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee. • Asa minimum standard, all front yard lawn areas will be sod and all rear yard lawn areas will be seeded. • Asa minimum standard, I.D.O.T. Class 1 Lawn Mixture seed must be used. • Silt fences and other erosion control devices must remain in place until the lawn is fully established. The Homeowner's Association will be required to install and maintain landscaping in the front yards of the single family homes to the following minimum standard: • 6 deciduous or evergreen shrubs with a minimum height of 18 inches. 1 ornamental or upright evergreen tree with a minimum height of 6 feet. • Plans with different combinations of plants may be submitted to the Developer and Village for approval. One two and one half inch caliper shade tree shall be provided in every other rear yard where lots back up to other King's Bridge Estates lots. Rear yard trees shall not be required on lots which abut open space, or in wooded areas. Builders shall be required to install in neighborhood parkways (defined as the area in front of houses, between the sidewalk and curb) one tree for each house, with two trees for corner lots. The trees shall be a minimum caliper of 2 and one half inches, shall be spaced and planted under an overall plan approved by the Developer and Village and shall be of a species approved by the Developer and Village. Four shade trees or evergreen trees shall be clustered at end of block areas where two side yards abut a street and that are not adjacent to a landscape buffer (see illustration below). Shade trees shall have a minimum caliper of two and one half inches and evergreen trees must be six feet in height or greater. In such situations, no rear yard trees referred to in the previous paragraph shall be required on the end of block lots. All utility equipment (meters, air conditioning equipment, etc.) on the side elevations of houses must be visually screened with wooden fencing approved by the Developer, or with evergreen shrubbery.

INTRODUCTION A. _Plainfield deftn p_ "losophv: It is the policy of the Village of Plainfield that single-family detached housing will remain the predominant land use within the Village. Because single-family detached housing will be the primary land use, and by extension Plainfield will be a community of families, the quality of life is very important. Therefore, it is very important that all new developments (single family, commercial, and industrial developments) reflect the quality of life through design. B. Residentigh GO PA@rciial. and industrial, The Village of Plainfield is one of the fastest growing suburbs in the Chicago Metropolitan region. It is the Village of Plainfield's desire to channel this growth to insure that new developments provide quality housing, shopping, and places of employment for its citizens. Therefore, the quality of the developments and their design is crucial to the continued well being of the Village of Plainfield. The design guidelines set forth here are intended to provide direction to insure that all new development is of highest possible quality. DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION II. DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION Consistent with the Village's philosophy, Planned Unit Developments will be required of the following: w All developments over twenty (20) acres or in excess of fifty (50) dwelling units should be submitted and processed under the Planned Unit Development provisions. Is A process for density bonuses will be considered which equates a percentage of the value of extra dwelling units with monies spent on additional amenities such as extra landscaping, wider landscaped boulevards, streetscaping, or similar upgrades. At the discretion of the Village, architectural excellence may also be a basis for the density bonus. A. Residential density; Two of the most commonly held misconceptions regarding residential development are that the lower the density the better the development and that density is solely a function of lot size. In fact, neither of these perceptions is universally true. Density and lot size do not control the design, the development, the architectural design, or the landscape design. In order to begin to control for quality design it is recommended that density be regulated as the maximum number of dwellings permitted for the buildable acreage involved. The rationale for this recommendation is that where minimum lot size is the controlling variable; the ability to conserve usable open space is minimized. Furthermore, the likelihood of being presented with "cookie cutter" subdivision design is greatly enhanced. In this scenario, it is very important to make adjustments for lands that are either inherently unbuildable, such as wetlands or floodplain, or areas where development should be minimized for design reasons such as areas with preservable hard wood vegetation. The key to this process is to assign a reasonable and rational density to the remaining developable tracts within Plainfield's planning jurisdiction. This step should be accompanied by an environmental constraints inventory. Although much of Plainfield's remaining developable land appears to be primarily agricultural such an inventory would be useful. This inventory data is available from various sources, including the Will County Land Resource Management Plan, the National Wetlands, Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood maps, and aerial photographs. B. Density and site analyss"i§: In order to properly determine the density for the tract under consideration, a "density plan" should be submitted to the Village. Each such plan shall include the following information in either graphic or written form: 1. The total gross area of the tract 2. Topographic data at not greater than two foot contour intervals 3. Existing floodplain limits 4. Existing wetlands 5. The location of the nearest elementary, junior high, and high school 6. Proposed bedroom mix 7. The maximum number of home sites based on a minimum lot size as per zoning category, or in the case of townhome development a density in accordance with the Village Comprehensive Plan shall be applied; said plan shall not utilize any portion of the wetlands, floodplain, or areas devoted to stormwater detention 8. Existing park sites within a one mile radius, including size and facilities 9. Existing vegetation 10. Proposed park site(s) within the project site 2 C. Concept plan: Within fifteen (15) working days, the Village shall review and return to the petitioner the plan indicating the maximum number of lots permitted on the tract, the amount of school and park land required or the cash in lieu required. Within forty-five (45) days, the Village shall provide the petitioner with general comments on the overall design as well as the design's consistency with these guidelines. 1. The density plan and site analysis will be the basis for preparing a concept plan which shall incorporate the planned unit design guidelines. 2. The plan shall pay particular attention to the placement of open space, streetscaping, and landscaping. All lots that back up to streets (through lots) shall provide a minimum 20' wide area to allow for an undulating landscape berm. The landscape berm should not exceed a 4:1 slope, and should occur in an outiot exclusive of the lots. 3. Lot sizes may be decreased to 11,000 square feet with a minimum of 80' frontage in order to provide more open areas and boulevards. D. Reviewing the„bonus system (additional lots) Extra landscaping, planting, streetscaping, street lighting, and irrigation of public spaces will be among the elements considered by the Village as part of the bonus program. E. Protective covenaake Protective covenants for the maintenance, continuing control and design of all the common areas shall be prepared by the developer and approved by the Village of Plainfield. These covenants shall include the following: 1. Architectural design (architectural committee approval) 2. Key building design and other requirements 3. Planned Unit Development landscaping to be installed by individual land purchaser 4. Key through lois 5. Common area maintenance program payment and standards (including rights of way on exterior) 6.

RESIDENTIAL PLANNING GUIDELINES PLANNING GUIDELINES A. Street design: New developments must place considerable emphasis on the relationship between buildings, streets, and dedicated open space. Neighborhoods developed under these guidelines should place significant importance on the designation of public open space and on the provision of sidewalks, footpaths, and trails in an effort to foster a pedestrian friendly community atmosphere: this is one of the key elements of good residential design that distinguishes a good neighborhood from "just another subdivision." The following are a number of technical recommendations regarding street design considerations: 9. Avoid Long, Straight, Uninterrupted Segments: From an aesthetic, safety, and speed control perspective, it is important to avoid long straight street segments. This situation can be avoided through the use of a couple simple techniques as follows: a) Curving roads in an informal rural cluster layout b) A series of shorter, straight street segments, connected by 90 -degree turns, creating a formal, traditional townlike neighborhood Variations that combine elements of both of these approaches are also possible, such as short curvilinear segments terminating in frequent intersections where the choices are to turn left or right (see T intersections), thereby slowing traffic and making the streets and sidewalks safer and more pedestrian friendly. 2. Provide Terminal Vistas: Whenever possible, street systems should be designed so that their curvature or alignment produces terminal vistas of open space elements, such as village greens, water features, or other public open space elements. This plan feature will maximize the visual impact of such areas so that residents and visitors will correctly perceive the open space emphasis. The created views are best or at least often found in the direct line of sight at "T" intersections, but can also be provided on land along the outside edge of street curves. (See #4 "T' Intersections) 3. Introduce Reverse Curves: The use of S shaped or reverse curves is often prohibited by subdivision ordinances; the rationale for this prohibition is usually safety. These curves are suggested for PUD's because of their graceful beauty and because they serve to significantly slow traffic on local streets. It is important that these curves be employed only with relatively -long horizontal curve radii of at least 250 feet and on local streets where the speed limit is between 25 and 30 miles per hour. Driveway access must be closely monitored on these curves. Where these limitations are implemented on reverse curves, the streets are actually safer because the traffic is slowed significantly. 4. Incorporate "r Intersections: In order to keep traffic speeds within the neighborhood as low as possible, residential streets that interconnect with other streets should do so through T-shaped intersections where cars cannot proceed forward in a straight line but instead must come to a full stop and turn left or right, thus slowing traffic and significantly increasing safety. 5. Provide Street and Trail Connections: Interconnection of subdivisions creates a greater sense of neighborhood rather than isolated developments. Some developers may resist such connections, preferring to market their housing as isolated neighborhood. This program of interconnections should be considered because it tends to create neighborhoods rather than a series of isolated subdivisions. A street passing through open space corridors prior to approaching new housing creates both terminal vistas and identifies the new neighborhoods. 6- Introduce Wide Usable Boulevards. Wide usable boulevards are strongly encouraged to augment the pedestrian system and to further soften the streetscape. Boulevards are especially effective at major entrances and collector streets. (See landscape recommendations.) VIEW VISTA 7 -7 Solo Vt B. Building neighborhoods: Plainfield has evolved into an extensive collection of diverse subdivisions. Housing densities within the Village's planning jurisdiction range from one acre lots to moderate density townhomes. The scale and diversity of the older neighborhoods in Plainfield exhibit many desirable features. In order to incorporate these features the following neighborhood design guidelines are suggested: 1. Each residential neighborhood will consist of a local street system; connections to adjoining neighborhoods through pedestrian and vehicular systems are encouraged. 2. Multiple street entrances in and out of each neighborhood are strongly encouraged. 3. Neighborhoods are encouraged to be composed of small rather than large residential blocks to further encourage pedestrian friendly environments. 4. Each neighborhood will incorporate neighborhood scale open space, preferably at its center, as well as a transition to the adjoining neighborhood. 5. To the extent possible, detention areas shall be placed to further enhance open areas. C. Street frontaga-and building „mMsing_ 1. For single family detached homes: In an effort to reduce the perception of overbuilding, as viewed from the street, and enhance the appearance of open space, a maximum house facade is recommended consistent with the Village's zoning ordinance and minimum side yards. Streetside facade width should create an expression of a main body of the house. Side wings should be setback from the property line to reduce the apparent building mass. 5 BIKE PATH 9 Greater front yard setbacks and widths may be considered at the primary entrance to the development. This tends to enhance the appearance of open space. This can also be achieved with broader landscaped parkways at the entrance. A maximum height limitation of thirty-five (35) feet, consistent with the Village Zoning Ordinance is recommended. Front porches are encouraged, with an allowable encroachment into the front yard of five (5) feet. This minor encroachment helps accentuate the articulation of the home. 2. For townhomes:. In townhome developments, garages, especially two car garages, can dominate the street frontage. In order to avoid the monotony and barren appearance of an endless line of garage doors, the grouping of townhomes should not exceed five units per building or one hundred and forty-four feet, whichever is less. The grouping and appearance of garage doors for the townhomes is critical. Therefore, garage doors should not be placed side-by-side and the inclusion of side -loaded garages is encouraged. Where garages are accessed at the rear of the unit through a mid -block service drive, other options may be considered. However, no townhome development will be considered which does not vary the number of units in a building. A maximum height limitation of thirty-five (35) feet, consistent with the Village Zoning Ordinance is recommended. Front porches are encouraged, with an allowable encroachment into the front yard of five (5) feet. Long uninterrupted rear porches will not be permitted. Rear porches and raised desks should be articulated to avoid the appearance of one continuous deck or porch. The materials for decks and porches must be harmonious with the materials used for the principal residences. Within 1 year, all wood decks and porches must be painted or stained in a manner consistent with the principal residences. 3. Street orientation: Front doors and windows to major rooms within the house are strongly encouraged to address the street. Walkways that lead to the front door, separated from any driveway are also encouraged. The front door should be a prominent and welcoming feature. Open front porches that face the street are also advocated. Garages at the rear of the site, accessible through mid -block streets should be considered. Rear garages may be attached or detached, although it is recognized that the Midwest climate makes attached garages more attractive to home buyers. Rear access garages have the advantage of allowing the streetscape to be unencumbered by garage doors, continuous curb cuts, and an endless stream of driveways. On -street parking can accommodate visitors; on -street guest parking has the additional advantage of further separating sidewalks from street traffic. If garages facing the street are necessary, garage doors are encouraged to be in one -car increments. Garage doors that are well designed and include features such as windows may be an acceptable alternative. Side loaded garages are also an acceptable alternative, especially where a window treatment is included in the side of the garage oriented to the street. 4. Rear and side elevations: Rear elevations of all residential dwellings shall be subject to the provisions of these guidelines. Articulation of the rear elevation is very important, especially where the rear elevation is visible by the public. Side elevations without windows are strongly discouraged. Side elevations facing a street (corner lots) must have windows and shall continue the same materials treatment as the front elevation and in the same proportion. TOWNHOME GARAGE DOORS - AFTER 11 D. Key lots: Key lots are defined as those lots within a residential development that are located at highly visible intersections as well as other strategic points within the development. Where through lots are unavoidable and back up to high volume streets, the rear of these buildings shall also be treated as "key lots." (See Section E on through lots) Key lots shall be noted on all plans submitted under these guidelines to the Village. The Village may add, delete, or amend the location of the key lots within the subdivision. 1. Architectural treatment of key lots: a) As noted in Section E, front doors and windows to major rooms shall be oriented to the street. Walkways that lead to the front door, separated from any driveway are also encouraged. The front door should be a prominent and welcoming feature. Open front porches that face the street are also advocated. b) Any elevation, which has exposure to a street, shall feature the use of brick or other natural materials on these elevations. c) Simple roof forms, such as gable or hip are encouraged. Dormers are also encouraged. Multiple gables and overly -pronounced roof forms should be avoided. d) All elevations shall have windows. 2. landscape architectural treatment of key lots: a) Front yards, parkways, and sidewalks shall be designed as a cohesive whole. A naturalistic treatment is preferred, utilizing a combination of overstory trees, understory trees, shrubs, and flowers. b) Landscape treatment approaching key lots shall serve to frame and emphasize these lots, especially the entrance. CORNER ELEVAI lu"I iia E. Through lots: 1. Architectural treatment of through lots: a) Particular attention shall be paid to the architectural details of the rear elevations on all through lots including materials and window treatment. b) Window treatments shall be included in order to add a sense of articulation to the rear elevation (i.e. shutters and window details). c) The lots that are designated as key lots, and are also through lots, shall have additional design features on the rear elevations that face a street, as follows: (1) Balanced window fenestrations (2) Provide for at least one 2 foot minimum plane change (3) Provide for gable or hip roof change on rear elevation (4) Provide wood trim and shutters as rear design elements (5) Use exterior materials as associated with front elevation 2. Landscape architectural treatment of through lots: a) All through lots shall be effectively screened at the rear of the property through fencing or berming and landscaping or a combination of the two. (1) Where fencing is used such fencing shall be consistently applied throughout the development. This shall be enforced through protective covenants. Fencing shall be placed on the use side of the berm, outside the landscape outiot or easement. (2) Where landscape screening is employed, the berm shall be at least three feet high and at no greater than a 4:1 slope. The berm shall undulate and curve. (3) Where landscape screening is employed, the berm shall be planted with 30-40% evergreen trees at least eight (8) feet in height and evergreen shrubs at least five (5) feet in height, a. the time of installation. Deciduous plants shall be irterapersi to add seasonal color and balance. b) Not all through lots are key lots.

Where boulevards are incorporated into the development plan it is stroi recommended that such boulevards be not less than thirty (30) feet in although they may taper at either or both ends. Boulevards should be landscaped appropriately. This would include, but not be limited to the following: a) Boulevards should be landscaped with 75% live plant materials. b) The balance of the boulevard islands should include hardscape elements such as; benches, unit pavers, decorative fencing, nate rock outcroppings, art sculpture, or other elements deemed apps by the village. IV, r a Retention ponds and detention areas: 1. Retention ponds and detention areas should be created as focal features of the development. Care should be taken to design these areas in as natural a manner as possible. 2. Native deciduous plant materials, which are indigenous to wet environments, shall be the predominant vegetation.
