In 1982 for the purpose of preserving and promoting the character and appearances of the Village, a three-member Review Board was established, appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the Board.

The Board is charged with reviewing architectural drawings prior to erection, reconstruction or alteration in order to encourage good quality of exterior building design and appearance. The Board permits originality and resourcefulness in building design and appearance that are appropriate to the sites and surroundings. It attempts to prevent designs which are visually offensive, or which are excessively similar or dissimilar to other homes.

In addition to examination of designs for buildings, the Board reviews the appropriateness of all retail and commercial signs, awnings and canopies and exterior elevations and landscaping plans.

Review meetings are held monthly.
