Section F: Public Realm Location—Locating exposed utilities is critical for maintaining quality design treatments. All utilities that are not underground, concealed, or screened must be located in coordination with exposed elements. They will be aligned and integrated with the layout of other design elements. Materials- Utility grates, covers and other exposed elements will be constructed of materials durable enough for the marine climate. This includes cast iron, brass, steel, heavy gauge aluminum, and masonry. Finishes- Finishes will be durable and low maintenance. Finishes for metals other than brass or cast irons hall be stainless, galvanized, or powder coated. Finishes for masonry shall be nonporous. Finishes with protective sealing and treatment for longevity should also be considered. Colors — For exterior utilities that are not cast iron, stainless, or galvanized, finishes shall be dark to blend in with their surroundings. Utility Types: Utility Grates—Grates such as trench drains and catch basin covers must be both functional and decorative. Utility Lids and Covers — Cast iron and galvanized steel utility lids and covers are potential elements for custom art and design. Designs should visually indicate the type of utility (electric, water, gas, etc.) and tie with the marine aesthetic. Concrete lids are to be placed in areas out of sign and out of travel ways. Utility Cabinets and Boxes—Cabinets and boxes for utilities must be placed in areas out of sight and out of travel ways. Where possible, they also should be finished in dark earth tone colors or materials that blend into the setting. Utility Corridors and Access — For utility banks and lines where future access may be needed, design-of surface treatments must take this into account.-Design should both enhance the area- and use materials that can be easily replaced or seamlessly patched. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -78-
