Chapter 2 • <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>Description</strong><br />

It is important in all cases, however, that these<br />

elements integrate with the whole design. What may<br />

start out as a minor feature can become a distracting<br />

eyesore, if not thought through.<br />

• Site planning, landscaping, architecture, lighting, and<br />

signage should be coordinated to provide consistent<br />

and comprehensive design character on individual<br />

development sites.<br />

• Skylights should be integrated into the ro<strong>of</strong> form.<br />

• Chimneys are usually very strong ro<strong>of</strong> elements.<br />

Codes require that they extend higher than adjacent<br />

ro<strong>of</strong> lines. Careful choice <strong>of</strong> proportion and material<br />

should give them a substantial and stable appearance.<br />

• The use <strong>of</strong> prefab fireplaces and flues is<br />

economically sound. However, they need not have<br />

the stove-pipe appearance, depending on which spark<br />

arrestor is used or required by the Code. Enclosing<br />

the flue in a masonry or wood chimney with<br />

substantial proportions will solve the problem.<br />
