WALKWAYS, DRIVEWAYS and ON-SITE PARKING <br /> 2 Historic circulation patterns can be particularly significant to rural properties. <br /> 3 Entrance drives control the visitor's perception of the main house, and on larger <br /> 4 properties this controlled view was often carefully planned by the owner to make a <br /> 5 statement. Internal farm roads can likewise impact the arrangement of the site as <br /> 6 much as formal walkways in designed gardens. These travelways should be <br /> 7 respected and preserved whenever possible. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 With the increase in the number of automobiles, there is a temptation to pave a <br /> 10 significant amount of area near the main house. Vehicular parking should be <br /> 11 minimized and discretely located. <br /> t 2 �,� .� �- �� �. �� <br /> � .: ga�. �� � <br /> 13 �� ��_ ��� �. � <br /> � <br /> 14 ��:: �� ° °����;, <br /> ,�,�, � � �"� <br /> 15 ����._ ���;: <br /> 16 � � � <br /> � �' =ror <br /> 18 '� ��� '�„ .�� <br /> � <br /> 19 .,�,,� ' � ��, <br /> .. <br /> �- <br /> 20 � �f s � ' � ��,, , <br /> �� ' �_ � � e�. ; <br /> �* � ��" } y� <br /> 21 � ^�` � <br /> .��^-. .. � <br /> . a <br /> �.
