Landscaping should provide for smooth transition between surrounding properties, proposed and existing buildings, streetscapes, driveway or access road entrances, parking and pedestrian walkways. Screening materials, landscaping, and/or natural topography may be used to create consistent transitions as buffer areas between structures. Appropriate buffer area plantings should be determined in consultation with the Planning Board.

Tree plantings should be spaced between six to 10 feet apart. The Planning Board may approve arrangements that do not meet this requirement.

The property owner should be responsible for all maintenance of landscaping and landscape buffers. This includes replanting any vegetation that have failed to grow normally, are diseased, or have died.

Off street parking should be provided as outlined by the Table of Parking Requirements in § 160-98C.

Clustering may be used as defined in Chapter 148 of the Alfred Town Code and § 160-123 of the Town's Zoning Ordinance. If clustering is proposed as defined in these chapters:

New buildings should be designed to fit the specific environments that they are located in.

New buildings should present an inviting facade to the street, making a positive contribution to the streetscape. These may include covered walkways and/or entryways.

Freestanding buildings such as ATM's, service stations, garages and storage units should meet the same design standards as the principal building(s) on site.

Alterations to existing structures must provide proof to the Planning Board of intent to relate improvements to existing structure design. This includes the detailing of the original structure.

Backlit canopies should not be used as large signs on or surrounding the structure.

Mechanical, HVAC and other equipment mounted on rooftops must be screened from public view or grouped to minimize visibility.

Predominant roofs in these districts must exceed a pitch of 4 1/2 (ratio rise to run), unless demonstrated to the Planning Board that the minimum pitch limitation is not practical from an engineering or technical standpoint.

In case of gas or service stations and convenience stores, the primary structure must face the street, and canopies (such as over gas pumps) must compliment the primary structure through consistency in roof pitch and architectural detailing.

Drive throughs should be located at the side or rear of the building and incorporated into the design of the primary building in scale and architecture.
