Appropriate. Windows should be residential in shape and size. Muntins may be used to divide the glass; they should be 1 to 12 inches in thickness and be true divided panes on the first story. Retail display windows may be in the form of a residential picture window or bay window, with the bench of the bay used to place sale displays.
Service-related businesses should maintain the residential character through the use of appropriate doors and windows.
Doors should retain residential character through permitting only one door on the front of the house wherever possible. Where multiple entrances are necessary, they should be addressed as distinct entrances but retain the same door and window style. Storm doors should match the architectural style of the door or be a clear door that does not obscure the main door.
If shutters are used on any windows, they must be proportional to the window and appear to cover the entire surface of the glass if the shutters were closed.
Inappropriate.
