ARC Guidelines – Walkways

Note: This is a draft transcription of the official ARC guidelines and may contain errors. 

Walkways should be a complimentary component and should not compete visually with the house and/or landscape.

  • A walkway must be at least three (3) feet in width and no more than five (5) feet in width.
  • Walkways should be constructed of unit masonry, quarried stone or concrete. Asphalt walkways are strictly prohibited.
  • Where a walkway parallels the front, side or rear elevation of a house, a planting area (a minimum two (2) feet in width) must be maintained between the house and walkway. In such cases, the planting area shall be planted with an appropriate ground cover. A minimum of two (2) feet in width must be maintained between the walkway and property line.
  • Required Submittal Information: Along with the completed application, a copy of the lot survey by a professional land surveyor is required (the survey received at closing). A second survey (same as above) is required with the walkway imaged onto the survey.
  • Public sidewalks may not be visually or physically broken by crossing walkways.
