Pg 23 (Garages Garages and Garage Bays • <br /> and Garage <br /> Bays) Side loading, alley-loading, and rear-of-lot garages provide several advantages over more typical front-loading garages. <br /> Sidewalks are less interrupted by side-loading and rear of lot garage driveways than front-loading garage driveways, and are <br /> completely uninterrupted when alley-loading garages are available. This results in a more appealing and safer pedestrian <br /> environment. In addition, the use of non-front loading garages maintains a more attractive streetscape, since garage doors and <br /> driveway-aprons are de-emphasized or hidden,helping to create a neighborhood that feels more like a place for people than a <br /> place for cars. <br /> To the extent reasonably possible, side-loading, alley-loading, and rear of lot garages should be used instead of front-loading <br /> garages. <br /> All garages in the Eclipse Mill Neighborhood shall face the access lanes/private alleys—no garage may face the public street. <br /> Any garage doors that face a street, access lane, alley or public area shall feature windows, recesses or molding to help blend the <br /> doors with the character of the house. Detached garages are allowed. Carports are not allowed in single family neighborhoods. <br /> All garage walls shall include landscaping,windows or structural changes, trellises, or trim to break up uninterrupted walls. <br /> Pg. 25 Mechanical Equipment+Utility Meters <br /> co (Mechanical <br /> Equipment) Utility meters, electrical conduit, and other service utility apparatus shall be located and/or designed to minimize their visibility <br /> from the street.
