Dissecting the Prairie Village Cape Cod
1. SIZE & SCALE [BUILDING HEIGHT, EAVE LINE/LOCATION, ROOF PITCH, BUILDING WIDTH] 2. GARAGE [GARAGE PROPOTION, GARAGE LOCATION, GARAGE DOOR SIZE & GARAGE SPACES] 3. DOORS, WINDOWS & CHIMNEY [PERCENTAGE OF OPENINGS ON EACH FACE, WINDOW STYLE, CHIMNEY] 4. MATERIALS [MATERIALS GUIDELINES & CONSISTANCY] 5. SITE [GREEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS & DRIVEWAY]
Overlay guidelines
ZONING GUIDELINES CURRENTLY ALLOW FOR HOMES TO BE BUILT SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN NEIGHBORING HOMES: UP TO 2.5 STORIES AND AROUND 40’-0”+ TALL. PV HOMES ORIGINAL TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD RANGE FROM 14’-0” TO 22’-0”.
SIZE & SCALE
BUILDING HEIGHT
OVERLAY CODE 1.1 WOULD LIMIT THE RIDGE LINE HEIGHT TO 27’-0”. THIS ALLOWS FOR SOME DESIGN FLEXIBILITY, WITHOUT ALLOWING HOMES TO “TOWER” OVER EXISTING HOMES. THIS GUIDELINE APPLIES TO NEW HOMES AND EXISTING HOMES.
SIZE & SCALE
BUILDING HEIGHT
A SIGNIFICANT CHARACTERISTIC OF A PRAIRIE VILLAGE CAPE COD IS THAT THE EAVE LINES [WHERE THE GUTTER MEETS THE ROOF] ARE IN LINE. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE HOMES ARE TYPICAL 1.5 STORY HOMES AND THE GUTTERS SIT RIGHT AT THE FIRST FLOOR FLOOR JOISTS. THE EXAMPLE BELOW IS WHAT THE OVERLAY IS AIMING TO DISCOURAGE:
SIZE & SCALE
EAVE LINE LOCATION
OVERLAY CODE 1.2 WOULD ENCOURAGE EAVE LINES TO BE IN LINE WITH EXISTING HOMES. IT IS MEASURED FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOME.
SIZE & SCALE
EAVE LINE LOCATION
THIS HOME HAS A EAVE LINE AT THE FIRST STORY AND SECOND STORY. OVERLAY CODE 1.2 WOULD ALSO NOT ALLOW A SECOND STORY EAVE LINE. TRADITIONAL PITCHED AND SHED DORMERS WOULD BE THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE EAVE LINES ABOVE THE FIRST STORY EAVE LINE. SECOND STORY EAVE LINE FIRST STORY EAVE LINE
SIZE & SCALE
SECOND STORY EAVE LINE
OVERLAY CODE 1.3 WOULD ENCOURAGE ROOF PITCHES TO BE BETWEEN 4:12 [SINGLE STORY RANCH HOMES] AND 12:12 [1.5 STORY CAPE CODS]
ROOF PITCH 4:12
SIZE & SCALE
ROOF PITCH 12:12
ROOF PITCH
THIS WOULD DISCOURAGE FLAT OR LOWSLOPED ROOFS.
THIS WOULD ALSO DISCOURAGE ROOFS PITCHED HIGHER THAN 12:12. WHILE BOTH PITCHES ARE DESIRABLE FOR SOME STYLES OF ARCHITECTURE, THEY ARE NOT STYLISTICALLY TYPICAL IN THE AREA OF COVERAGE.
SIZE & SCALE
ROOF PITCH
HIPPED ROOFS ARE DEFINED AS ROOFS WHERE ALL SIDES SLOPE TOWARDS THE EAVE LINE. THEY ARE USUALLY COMPRISED OF TWO TRIANGLES AND TWO TRAPEZOIDS.
OVERLAY CODE 1.4 WOULD NOT ALLOW HIPPED ROOFS. MOST ROOFS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PITCH IN TWO DIRECTIONS AND HAVE GABLED ENDS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT CHARACTERISTIC OF A 1.5 STORY HOME.
SIZE & SCALE
HIPPED ROOFS
CURRENTLY, THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION DEED RESTRICTIONS REQUIRE THAT THE WIDTH OF ANY NEW HOME STAYS WITHIN 80% OF THE WIDTH OF THE LOT AT THE BUILDING LINE. A HOMEOWNER CAN APPLY FOR A VARIANCE OF UP TO 10%, FOR UNIQUE LOTS AND SITUATIONS. OVERLAY CODE 1.5 WOULD MAKE THIS ENFOCABLE AS A CITY CODE. WIDTH OF A LOT 60’-0” 63’-0” 65’-0” 68’-0”
SIZE & SCALE
MAXIMUM HOUSE WIDTH 48’-0” 50’-5” 52’-0” 54’-5”
BUILDING WIDTH
25%

SINCE MOST OF THE HOMES IN THE AREA HAVE ONE CAR GARAGES, THE WIDTH OF THE GARAGE DOOR IS MINIMAL IN PROPORTION TO THE REST OF THE FRONT FACE OF THE HOUSE.
GARAGE
GARAGE PROPORTION
45% OR 21’-0” MAX SINCE MOST NEW HOMES WILL HAVE TWO CAR GARAGES, OVERLAY CODES 2.1 & 2.2, ENSURE NEW DESIGNS KEEP THE GARAGE MINIMAL ON THE FACE OF THE NEW HOME.
GARAGE
GARAGE PROPORTION
IN PRAIRIE VILLAGE, THE GARAGES DO NOT DOMINATE THE FACE OF THE HOME.
MANY GARAGES SIT IN LINE WITH THE FRONT FACE OF THE HOME.
IN SOME CASES, THE GARAGE IS SET BACK A FEW FEET FROM THE FRONT FACE OF THE HOME.
GARAGE
GARAGE LOCATION
THIS IS A HOME THAT WAS PROPOSED IN THE AREA OF COVERAGE. THE GARAGE DOMINATES THE FACE OF THE HOME. THIS CHARACTERISTIC DOES NOT MEET THE STYLE OR CHARACTER OF EXISTING HOMES IN THE AREA. OVERLAY CODE 2.3 DISCOURAGES DESIGNS WHERE THE GARAGE SITS FORWARD FROM THE FACE OF THE HOME. IT WOULD KEEP THE GARAGES IN LINE OR BEHIND THE MAIN BUILDING LINE OF THE HOME.
GARAGE
GARAGE LOCATION
IN PRAIRIE VILLAGE, THE GARAGE DOORS ARE TYPICALLY 8’-0” WIDE BY 7’-0” TALL.
OVERLAY CODE 2.4 & 2.5 REQUIRE THAT ALL NEW GARAGE DOORS ARE A MAXIMUM OF 16’-0” WIDE [SINGLE DOOR TWO CAR GARAGE] AND 8’-0” TALL. THIS CODE WILL PREVENT OVERSIZED GARAGE DOORS.
GARAGE
GARAGE DOOR SIZE
OVERLAY CODE 2.6 WOULD ALLOW ONLY 2 GARAGE SPACES ON THE FRONT OF A HOME. SINCE THE LOTS ARE NARROW, HOMES WITH MORE THAN TWO GARAGE SPACES WOULD BE CONSUMED BY GARAGES. HOMES ON CORNER LOTS WOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAVE MORE THAN TWO GARAGE SPACES WITH A SIDE ENTRY.
GARAGE
GARAGE SPACES
ONE WAY TO GAIN EXTRA SPACE IN A SMALL HOME IS TO FILL IN THE GARAGE WITH LIVING SPACE. OVERLAY CODE 2.7 WOULD REQUIRE HOMES TO KEEP A FRONT FACING GARAGE DOOR WITH A DRIVEWAY LEADING TO THAT GARAGE DOOR, IF THE GARAGE IS FILLED IN. [THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO SIDE APPROACHES ON CORNER LOTS]
GARAGE
GARAGE SPACES
OVERLAY CODE 3.1 MEASURES THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF OPENINGS [DOORS & WINDOWS] ON EACH FACE OF THE BUILDING, IN RELATION TO THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF EACH VERTICAL FACE.
DOORS, WINDOWS & CHIMNEY
PERCENTAGE OF DOORS & WINDOWS
OVERLAY CODE 3.1 REQUIRES THAT WINDOWS ARE PROPORTIONAL IN SCALE TO EACH FACE OF THE HOME. IT PREVENTS SITUATIONS WHERE WINDOWS ARE ELIMINATED, LEAVING THE HOME WITH LARGE BLANK FACES AND NO ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: FRONT FACE – 11% REAR FACE – 10% ONE SIDE FACE – 7% [CORNER LOTS, STREET SIDE MUST SATISFY THIS REQUIREMENT.]
DOORS, WINDOWS & CHIMNEY
PERCENTAGE OF DOORS & WINDOWS
PRAIRIE VILLAGE HOMES HAVE WINDOWS WITH DIVIDED LITES. OVERLAY CODE 3.2 WOULD REQUIRE ALL FRONT FACING WINDOWS TO HAVE A MINIMUM OF ONE DIVIDED LITE.
DOORS, WINDOWS & CHIMNEY
WINDOW STYLE
PRAIRIE VILLAGE HOMES HAVE MASONRY CHIMNEYS OVERLAY CODE 3.3 WOULD REQUIRE ALL NEW HOMES TO HAVE A CHIMNEY [OPERATIONAL OR APPLIED] CONSTRUCTED OF BRICK OR STONE.

HORIZONTAL LAP SIDING [FIBER CEMENT BOARD, CEDAR] SHINGLES [FIBER CEMENT BOARD, CEDAR] STONE OR BRICK TRADITIONAL MASONRY STUCCO
MATERIAL GUIDELINES
OVERLAY CODE 4.2 REQUIRES THAT MATERIALS ARE CONSISTANT ON FOUR SIDES OF ANY NEW HOME. ALL ORIGINAL HOMES USED THE SAME SIDING ON ALL SIDES OF THE HOME.
MATERIALS
MATERIAL CONSISTANCY
OVERLAY CODE 5.1 REQUIRES THAT RESIDENTS MAINTAIN A MINIMUM OF 40% PERVIOUS AREA. THIS INCLUDES GRASS, LANDSAPING, PERVIOUS PAVERS, ETC… THIS PREVENTS RESIDENTS FROM EXCESSIVELY HARDSCAPING THEIR PROPERTY. OVERLAY CODE 5.2 REQUIRES THAT ALL DRIVEWAYS ARE SEPARATED BY 8’-0”. CITY ZONING REQUIRES A 4’-0” SETBACK ON ALL PROPERTIES IN R1-B. THIS WOULD PREVENT LARGE STRETCHES OF CONCRETE AND CAREFUL SITE PLANNING.
