K. GARAGES
FCHOA Purchaser's Handbook - Revision Date: 2021-01-10
1. Generally garages should be visually played down. Where site conditions permit, garages should be entered from the side or back of the house. On some sites it may be necessary to enter a garage from the front. In each case, the garage must be properly detailed and landscaped with the intention of screening parked cars and as much of the garage door as possible. One and two car garage bays are preferred. Three car garages may be permitted if the house design and site conditions permit. A separate/detached garage may be more appropriate to provide the third bay.
2. Generally, Oversize foundation vents and double hung windows should be used on garage walls to break up large areas of brick/siding.
3. Windows are not permitted on any overhead garage doors. However, transom windows above garage doors may be permitted with appropriate detailing. Garage and secondary doors should be a panel design unless otherwise noted and approved by the ARC. Garage and secondary doors should be the same color as the siding or trim unless otherwise approved by the ARC.
4. The spacing above the garage doors shall not exceed 4 ft. from the top of the garage door to the bottom of the frieze board without additional detailing.
