Roof styles and slopes shall be similar to the existing house.
8.05. Site Considerations:
No addition shall extend beyond the minimum setback requirements established for the house in Article 7.00. The siting of additions shall not create a breach of privacy between the neighboring houses. Where unavoidable, the AB may require special screening. New windows or access created by the addition or modifications shall not create a breach of privacy between neighboring houses. The AB reserves the right to restrict placement of additions on waterfront lots in such a manner as to protect normal viewing angles to waterways from adjacent lots.

Except for in areas previously approved as the “Limit of Clearing”, no existing vegetation shall be removed from any site in Eagle landing. General clearing for construction of additions shall extend no farther than 20 feet outside the actual footprint.

Alteration of existing topography will be permitted only as required to create positive drainage away from the house.
8.08. Material Selection:

Architectural elements such as comer and rake boards, soffits, eaves, window and door trim, and shutters shall match the style of the same elements on the house.
