PDO DESIGN GUIDELINES frontage 1. FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS AND BUILDINGS ALONG WEST MARINE VIEW DRIVE INTENT: To create a pleasant and inviting edge for the Waterfront Place Central, while providing a safe pedestrian atmosphere, and establishing a well defined gateway into the site. To provide a sense of order, rhythm and enclosure along the street and to provide a buffer between pedestrians and vehicles. GUIDELINES: 1.a. The main entrance at 13th Street will be designed in such a way as to distinguish it as both the main access to the site and to set the standard for the development that lies beyond. 1.b. A landscaped strip with street trees will be installed per City landscape standard Type III, Section 35.050 of the Everett Municipal Code (EMC) between the curb and the sidewalk. The trees shall have a minimum trunk diameter of 2 %2" at the time of planting. The landscape strip shall be a minimum of 5' in width. 1.c Spacing of street trees in the landscape strip shall be no more than 30' apart. Spacing may be modified to avoid obscuring pedestrian crossings, street signage, traffic signals and street lights. 1.d. A sidewalk at least 12' wide, along the west side of West Marine View Drive, will be installed behind the landscape strip. The City Engineer will work with the project designers to place a bike path. 1.e. Variation of the facades of the building will be used to break up the mass and scale of the buildings. 1.f. Four access points to the site will be provided off West Marine View Drive, one north of 13th Street which provides direct access to the Craftsman District, the main entrance at 13th, and a secondary entrance at 14th Street, and at another location south of 14th Street. 1.g. Street light design, signage and landscaping shall be compatible and consistent with the entire Waterfront Place Central Development. Waterfront Place Central Design Standards &Guidelines 6
