(2) Harmony with cu�rounclings Buildings or structixres located along strips oP land or oix single sites and not a part of a iinified multibuilding complex shall strive to achieve visual harmony with the surroundings. If they are built in undeveloped areas, the three primary requirements shall be met: 7 express honest design construction, show proper design concepts, and be appropriate to the village. (3) Facades. All facades visible to public or adjacent property shall be designed to create a harmonious whole. Materials shall express their function clearly and not appear as a material foreign to the rest of the building. (4) Methods of harmonious design. It is not to be inferred that buildings must look alike or be of the same style to be harmonious. Harmony can be achieved through the proper consideration of scale, proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials and co1_or. (5) Advertisements on buildings. Buildings which are of symbolic design for reasons of advertising and are not compatible to the atmosphere of the village shall � not be approved ��r *'�° � „;+�, ° ° '�^�. Symbols attached to the buildings will not be allowed unless they are secondary in appearance to the building and landscape and are an aesthetic asset to tne project and neighborhood. (6) Exterior lighting. Exterior lighting may be used to illuminate a building and its grounds for safety pluposes, but in an aesthetic manner. Lighting is not to be used as a form of advertising in a manner that is not ccmpatible to the neighborhood or in a manner such that it draws consid�rably more attention to the building grounds at night than in the day. Lighting following the form of the building or part of the building will not be allowed. All fixtures used in exterior lighting are to be selected not only for functional value, but for aesthetic value. (7) Inappropriate building styles. Buildings of a style or style type foreign to South Ftorida and/or its climate will not be allowed. It is also to be i.mderstooci that buildings, even though they have a lustorical significance to South Florida, that do not conform to the eYisting or to the evolving atmosp�lere �f the village will not be approved.

No advertising will be allowed on any exposed amenity or facility such as benches and trash containers. 8 (13) Use of symbolic colo�s; exterior storage and display of inerchandise. The following are added criteria that pertain to but are not limited to gasoline stations. Symbolic colors of the exterior facades or roofs may not be used unless they axe harmonious with the atmosphere of the neighborhood. For example, royal blue, which symbolizes a brand of gasoline and other establishments, would not be acceptable in most cases. Exterior display of goods for sale or those designating a service will not be allowed, except that a gasoline station's display of goods and tools of a service may be displayed on the pump island, provided that the island is not considered by the board to be enlarged to ta.ke advantage of this provision, and provided that the goods and tools be such that they can be used or installed at the island. For example, an oil rack is acceptable, but a tire display is not. Areas used to store materials such as mufflers, tires, packing crates or cases, refuse and garbage shall be screened from adjacent property and from the public view. Sec. 22-83. - Exterior space. The scale of exterior space is to be relative to its neighborhood, adjacent properties, buildings, access (roads and pedestrian routes) and its activity. Building facades enclosing a space must be hartnonious. Where, because of their use or age, like facades are not possible, consideration should be taken to unify the walls of the space by the application of landscaping, or manmade objects of like design, at modular spacing. The floor of a space is of primary importance; its materials, texture and color, contour and shadow on it are to be considered, not only in relation to the space, but to its setting. Natural vistas must be surveyed and planning steps are to be taken to preserve them to the greatest extent. Careful consi�eration as to future development shall be given to vistas which open into undeveloped areas. Sec. 22-84. - Lanet�caping. ��Cii �iu.�:... sw._..�.�+.. l.o �µ r� Fy �µr��V.�nr�..-�n ..

(2) Paving, benches and similar fixtures. Landscaping includes not only trees and plantings but pa�ving, benches, foutitaiiis, exterior lighting fixtures, fences, and any other item of exterior furniture.

One of the basic uses of landscaping will be to screen. r� m��-:�� „* ^r ^^^^�°�;�h �� a particular objectionable area, an accessory use or an otherwise acceptable structure or space. The achievement of this is left to the designer, whether by walls, fences, mounds of earth, or vegetation. Screening shall be employed to mask from the public view or adjacent properties such service areas as trash and garbage areas, outside equipment of an unaesthetic character, and accessory buildings or areas not enhancing or in keeping with the aesthetics of the project or neighborhood. (4) View from othe� a�eas. Landscaping shall be designed in such a manner as to impart its aesthetic character w�en viewed from any area accessible to the public or from adjacent properties. This is to include views from high- rise buildings and bridges. (5) Installation; size of plants. All landscaping and plantings designated on the plans approved by the board shall b�come effective and/or attain the size or height indicated within one year from the date of the certificate of occupancy of the project.

The tree imparts, especially in a relatively flat area, a sense of three-dimensional space, it casts shadows that reduce the monotony of the expanse of paving, and it creates a refuge from the tropical sun. Signs designating entrances, exits, regulations, etc., _ in excess of two square feet are to be of a tasteful design � �„'^;°�* *� r°� � . The pavement is to be more than wall-to-wall asphalt. It is recommended that pavement be varied in texture or color designating lanes for automobile traffic, pedestrian walks and parking spaces. Bright colored pavement is to be used only with restraint. In order to create a pleasant atmosphere it is recommended that consideration also be given to sculptuxe, fountains, gardens, pools and benches. Design emphasis is to be given to the entrances and exits to and from the lot. Trash, refuse and unaesthetic storage and mechanical equipment must be screened from view in accordance with village requirements. (d) Lighting.
