Design Guidelines for Knollwood H-1
See Guidelines- See attached and Knollwood file for full description. The following design guidelines are the most pertinent:
- The combined width of the primary boulevard's pavement and landscaping shall be at least 80 feet without the inclusion so parking; if parking areas are to be provided off that boulevard, they should be provided outside of the 80-foot dimension.
- New buildings or parking at the edges of the site must be partially screened with trees that will reach a mature height of 30 to 40 feet planted on 40-foot centers.
- Parking shall be terraced behind berms and landscaping. The intent is to utilize the berms and landscaping to carry a ribbon of green with minimal visual interruption to the historic house (Knollwood).
