Enclosure (1) to COMDTINST 11103.1B
Lighting:
Exterior lighting should be used to illuminate walkways, porches, patios, decks,
significant site features, entrances, house numbers, flagpoles, parking areas, and areas
identified for threat protection as required for additional security. Facilities with
insufficient exterior lighting should have appropriate projects incorporated in the Master
Plan for planned execution.
Fencing:
All Representational Facilities may have a privacy fence for visual screening and
definition of outside living areas. Additionally, perimeter fencing may be provided for
defining boundaries, safety, security, and ornamental reasons.
Parking:
Representational Facilities should have two parking spaces per unit and one single-car
garage or carport.
Since the design of driveways and parking areas affects the appearance of the facility and
surrounding neighborhood, expansive parking areas are discouraged.
Use durable, slip resistant floor covering materials in garages or carports. Avoid the use
of indoor/outdoor carpet.
Trash Enclosures:
Each Representational Facility should have an exterior area large enough for trash
containers and recycling receptacles.
Trash enclosures should be located with access to the trash pick-up point, should be
compatible with the exterior design of the house, and should screen trash containers from
the street, common areas, or other living units.
Outdoor Living Spaces:
Outdoors living spaces include, but are not limited to: patios, decks, porches, and
breezeways. These spaces are neither heated nor cooled, either independently or through
house systems.
Ceiling fans may be installed to regulate the temperature of both covered and enclosed
outdoor living spaces.
It should not be expected that outdoor living spaces be finished with interior-quality
Outdoor Living Spaces may be enclosed.
Decks should be constructed from low-maintenance, durable materials including various
synthetic and composite products (i.e. brick, slate, concrete, composite wood decking,
etc)
Facility Exterior:
Doors may be replaced when they become unserviceable, and they should complement
the architectural style of the house.
For security, dead-bolt locks should be installed on all entry doors.
Full glass and screen storm doors are recommended over those with partial glass and
screens because they let in more light and are generally more attractive.
