There is no single perfect tree; the most successful course is to match the planting site limitations with the right tree for that spot. Each site must be evaluated and possible restrictions of tree species noted. These restrictions include rooting space, soil texture, soil pH, drainage, exposure, overhead wires and surrounding building surfaces. The trees appearing on this list have different requirements and tolerances. All of these species should do well in the urban forest environment of Carmel. Before selecting any particular species or variety, further research should be done to ensure that the site would satisfy the specific requirements of the plant. Some of the species or cultivars listed here may not be readily available at local nurseries, particularly in calipers large enough for planting in high traffic areas. Tree shelters and staking may provide limited protection.

The three main things that jump out at me are 1) that the house width is not 55 -ft or less, 2) the garage door and its dormer massing dominate the front elevation, and 3) the garage is not at least 15 -ft further back from the front line or front face of the house. Our Department probably will not approve a design like this; is there any way you an tweak the design a bit, to make it better fit in within the character of Old Town area and meet the zoning requirements?
