Besides altering period streetscapes, a basic rule of thumb for increased residential and commercial density is the higher the density, the more trees lost. Within the National Registry district, a more refined plan for Skin Alley would spare 3 contributing historic houses and surrounding old tree canopy: The "T-Folk" cottage that saw the town's founding in 1870 is now owned by The Downtown Development Authority. The Haney House/Designs in Flowers (c.1895), a Victorian T cottage, and the Brown Home (c.1910) are now recognized as important historical bookends for the Alley's redevelopment. These contributing properties supply charm and ambience transitioning to the planned mixed use development planned across the street.

Since 1996, city council has attempted to contain highest density development to the downtown area, but high density infill continues to threaten the integrity and quality of life in neighborhoods.
