Section F: Public Realm must relate to the marine design aesthetic of other elements. Bollards may be a potential element for integrated art. If not, bollards shall fit with the Esplanade aesthetic. Bollards should be limited to locations that do not interfere with parking, deliveries, and other functions, but may be used in multi-purpose functions such as posts for fence enclosures or sidewalks planters. Bollards may also define parking areas. Bollards will be both permanent and removable. Permanent bollards will define edges and entrances to pedestrian areas and control vehicular access. Permanent bollards may integrate illumination when placed in pedestrian areas where emergency or maintenance access is required. Bicycle_amenities — Bike racks shall be placed in areas near the Esplanade where bikers may need to park their bikes and wish to walk, shop, eat or rest. They will also be used by residents and those who work at Waterfront Place Central. Bike racks will also be needed near the marinas for boaters and boat visitors. Access to and from the bike racks should be clear and unobstructed. Bike racks must be wide for resting the entire bike against the rack rather than single-poled. Bike racks area a great opportunity for sculptural treatment. Kiosks—Display of information about the Waterfront Place Central, community events, maps, and other information will be consolidated at information kiosks. These should be located not in the Esplanade, but rather placed at strategic locations where pedestrians access public facilities and marinas. Kiosks are to be designed as an identifiable reoccurring element. Design must relate to the area aesthetic and to the opportunity for the kiosks to be sculptural art should be explored. Kiosks will include areas for permanent information such as an area map, and for temporary information such as community events calendar. Kiosk size must be kept to a minimum to reduce visual obstruction. Information should be displayed at heights readable for adults and children, and for those with varying physical abilities. Fences and Railings Design Intent—The Esplanade exterior fences and railings may provide safety for public areas, but also should be designed for compatibility with each other through form, materials, and finishes. The district aesthetic of strong simple lines and forma should be reflected along the entire Esplanade. For upland areas, such as along the interior edge of the transition zone, railing and fence design should be informed by the design guidelines of their particular district. Rails should be designed to transition and coordinate. Materials — Exterior fences and railings will be constructed of marine durable materials including stainless steel, heavy gauge aluminum, and steel with the appropriate finish. Finishes — Finishes will be durable and low maintenance. Finishes shall be stainless, galvanized, or powder coated. Colors—For exterior fences and railings that are not stainless or galvanized, finishes should be dark, but may have light or bright accents. Fences and Railing Types Fences — At the Esplanade, tall fences will be used only for screening and security at marina services buildings. For security areas, 5' to 8' tall fences will provide controlled access, but maintain visibility such that no one can hide behind any given area of the fence. For the screening of trash dumpsters and utility areas, a 6' high fence is required that will provide 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -76-
