Architectural Standards

Utilities/ Vents/ Mechanical Equipment

All utility feeds, meters, and vents must be painted to blend with adjacent surfaces (i.e., landscape green, weathered shingle gray, or foundation wall color). No exterior wires are allowed. All feeds to meter boxes must be screened and all boxes must be screened.

All above ground utilities and mechanical equipment (i.e., transformers, phone boxes, gas meters, electric meters, and air conditioning units) must be screened with evergreen plant material of a height equal to or greater than the height of the equipment (refer to landscape section). Spacing must provide effective visual screening upon installation. Screening must surround the utility structure 360° except when abutting or within two feet of the home or to allow access to the structure. All setback requirements as required by the utility company must be adhered to.
