“To preserve the views of a residence, the way they were, when the house was built.”

- The Spirit of the View Guideline
2016-2023 Version

Our goal is to ensure simple, sensible, and sustainable protections for Somerset’s look, feel, and views

Simple

Protections are clearly stated in a sentence or two, that are easily understood

Sensible

Protections make sense and align with the community’s shared principles

Sustainable

Protections endure and can’t be changed by less than a majority of the people impacted by them

Look

The shapes, colors, and configurations of land, vegetation, and structures

Views

Both FROM and OF our houses - includes how views are framed by the ridgelines created by roof alignment


Feel

The sense of community and flow as you move through our neighborhood
