Screening methods incorporating roofs over <br />storage, trash or mechanical facilities to screen from higher adjacent properties or buildings may be <br />required. Height of plantings required under this section shall be measured at the time of installation. <br />1.Architectural Standards <br />1. It is not the intent of the City to restrict design freedom unduly <br />when reviewing project architecture in connection with a site and building plan. However, it is in <br />the best interest of the City to promote high standards of architectural design and compatibility with <br />surrounding structures and neighborhoods. Architectural plans shall be prepared by an architect or <br />other qualified persons acceptable to the City and shall show the following for all structures in the <br />B-6 District: <br />a) elevations of all sides of the building; <br />b) type and color of exterior building materials; <br />c) a typical floor plan; <br />d) dimensions of all structures; <br />e) the location oftrash and recycling containers and of heating, <br />ventilation and air conditioning equipment. <br />2. Unadorned prestressed concrete panels, concrete block and <br />unfinished metal shall not be pemiitted as exterior materials for principal and accessory buildings. <br />This restriction shall apply to all principal structures and to all accessory buildings. The city may, <br />et its discretion, allow architecturally enhanced block or concrete panels. <br />ORONO CC 351-7 (Sec. 10.45: 5-8-89)
