c'; <br /> l! <br /> G. Paint Scheme and Colors <br /> The choice of color for a building can greatly affect how well a building fits in with the <br /> neighborhood. But color choice is a personal decision on the part of a building owner <br /> and can be changed. In general, muted colors were the historic preference. <br /> Guidelines: <br /> 1. Everett's architectural expressions of color historically were conservative, <br /> emphasizing muted or earth shades or tones rather than pure hues. Brighter colors <br /> should be reserved to accent trim details and doorways and used in moderation. <br /> Exterior wall color choices should not be bright or garish. <br /> 2. Choose the number of colors applied to the exterior of a home sparingly. Usually <br /> combinations of three colors: the base, the walls or body of the house, and the <br /> trim,will be sufficient. Be observant of the color of the roofing material as well, <br /> as it is noticeable from the street. <br /> 3. Windows seen from the street can appear dark, so a light color is recommended <br /> for the sash, the part of a window frame which touches the glass. <br /> 4. A small paint chip will take on a life of its own on a whole house. It is suggested <br /> that a quart sample of the color scheme be applied to a section of the building as a <br /> test. <br /> 5. Consult paint sample booklet for historically appropriate colors. <br /> H. Alleyways and Vehicular Access <br /> The absence of intrusive driveways is critical in establishing the visual continuity, <br /> pedestrian orientation and identity of the neighborhood. Existing garages are located at <br /> the rear of the lot with access provided by alleyways. There are apai lnient complexes <br /> which provide covered parking at the rear of the lot as well. <br /> Guidelines for all development: <br /> 1. On all sites served by alleys, access to all off-street parking shall be via the alley <br /> and no driveways from the main street will be permitted. Access to off-street <br /> parking for houses on the east side of Baker shall be from Fulton Avenue. <br /> 2. All service elements, such as dumpsters and trash rooms, shall be located in the <br /> rear yard. Access shall be via the alley. <br /> 23 <br />
