Pg. 8 (Streets A connected street system that supports emergency response, efficient routes of travel, and neighborhood interaction are (front loaded priorities. p-.. . .. . _.. . . .. _ . .. . • .. . _ . . - - . . . . - -•- ., garages, dead ends) The street types are anticipated to vary in scale and use. On streets, curb cuts should be limited to accommodating secondary and private driveways wherever possible. Except for single family plats, Secondary streets and alleyways should be used as a primary means to access residences by car. This intent to define major streets as more of a through-street for traffic as opposed to an access road full of driveways allows for a safer, more consistent roadway as well as the improved aesthetic of a landscaped thoroughfare. To reduce vehicular conflicts with pedestrians on the sidewalks and maxirni7e the amount of separation and streetscape planting area provided by planter strips,plats should be designed to minimize the number and width of driveway cuts along the sidewalk. The arrangement of driveways adjacent to each other to provide longer planter strips is encouraged. Pg. 9 (Center Center Street (Public ROW) Street) The Center Street is the main circulation spine for the Eclipse Mill development, accommodating multiple forms of traffic in both directions. Access to the various neighborhoods within the development is via intersections along this arterial. On-street parking is provided on both sides of the center street, as are bicycle lanes. Sidewalks and planting strips are significantly wider here than at any other location. cn co 4, Parking areas are not required where no development fronts the street. Pg. 10 Residential Street(with parking on one side) (Residential Street) Residential streets provide vehicular and pedestrian connection between the central and collector streets and individual properties. Streets are tree-lined,providing vehicular circulation in both directions with on-street parking on one side. Planting strips and ample sidewalks establish desirable neighborhood scale. This is the preferred design for single family development on the Simpson pad south of the roundabout. (From the 4l st Street roundabout to the roundabout on the Simpson Pad,the street section must include a 34 foot wide driving surface, including bike lanes on both sides, and no parking on either side. (See Attachment I, Transportation D.) Pg. 10 (Lanes) Private Alley/Private Access Lane (enetwo-way) Private Alleys/Private Access lanes are located behind or between residential properties and provide vehicular access to private parking located away from the street. Vehicular use of alleys /lanes reduces the number of curb-cuts required along the public way and enhances the pedestrian neighborhood experience. Alleys /lanes are designed efficiently, with width adequate to allow vehicles to bypass at slow speeds. Minimal space is provided for pedestrian circulation. Landscaping is required. Garage doors /walls shall utilize windows and structural modulation(e.g. trellis, overhangs,roofs, elevation variation). Private alleys and private access lanes must be a minimum of 24 feet wide.
