Diversity Code

GENERAL NOTES

1. The intent of Hartness Diversity Code is to make Hartness look like a neighborhood of all custom designed houses while reusing some home designs multiple times, but in a manner that will enable elegant streetscapes without noticeable repetition of home designs.

2. The methods below, used to revise a home design from one design to another, while keeping the same basic floorplan, must make sense with respect to styles shown in the Design Guidelines. That is, if revising a style from a gable front roof to a hipped roof, one should consider making it a different style—for example—Colonial Revival to Shingle Style.

3. These are general guidelines. The ARB may create program lots where specific designs may be repeated in various ways in violation of these guidelines to serve specific place making purposes that the ARB believes will add value to the community.

4. The ARB is the final arbiter of the reuse of any home design, with or without modification, in Hartness.

THE DIVERSITY CODE

A. PHASE TO PHASE: (For this purpose, Phase 1A is a different Phase than Phase 1B. Phase 2 is a different phase from Phases 1A & 1B)

1. No house design shall be reused within a Phase except as noted in B below.

2. The same base house design may be used with different colors (other changes may occur as well) from one Phase to another as long as the design is not within line of sight on the street of another use of the house design. i.e. Any design may generally be reused from Phase to Phase if the colors of windows and wall materials are different from previous uses.

B. WITHIN A PHASE — 4 OF THE 6 DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS BELOW MUST BE DIFFERENT:

1. Massing of the House or Mass Type Different—i.e. parapet design vs. no parapet—addition or removal of “add on” elements like bay windows, porches, pergolas, false enclosed porches, etc. 2. Different Roof Massing/Form/Slopes—hipped vs. gable, bell cast vs. gable, etc.

3. Window Muntin Patterns—depending on the style of the house the window proportions may be required to be different as well.

4. Shutters vs. No Shutters

5. Different Porch Details—columns and beams, or different porch design—i.e. 1-bay vs. 2-bay vs. portico vs. full façade front porch vs. partial enclosure of a porch, etc.

6. Different Cladding Materials—siding vs. brick vs. stone vs. stucco
