MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS <br /> <br /> ii. One additional primary access is encouraged for each additional 150 <br /> dwelling units, or portion thereof, over 350 dwelling units. <br /> <br />d. Vehicle Connections <br /> <br /> A multi-family development should not become an isolated island in the <br /> surrounding community. Instead, to reduce vehicle congestion and offer greater <br /> connectivity between adjacent residential neighborhoods and other uses, the <br /> following standards shall apply: <br /> i. The internal drive system shall connect to the perimeter public street system <br /> to provide multiple direct connections to and between local destinations <br /> such as parks, schools, and shopping. <br /> <br /> ii. Interconnectivity: The internal drive system shall connect to the perimeter <br /> public street system to provide for both intra- and inter-neighborhood <br /> connections to knit separate developments together, rather than forming <br /> barriers between them. Accordingly, the internal drive system shall provide <br /> vehicle connections, other than primary vehicle access, to each adjoining <br /> residential or collector street. <br /> <br /> iii. Multi-Family developments greater than 5 acres shall include a minimum of <br /> one (1) "through-access drive," which typically will be a private drive but may <br /> be a dedicated street, with detached sidewalks and landscaped planting <br /> strips between the sidewalk and curb. The through-access drive shall be <br /> continuous through the site, and connect to a perimeter public street on <br /> either end. <br /> <br /> (a) The design of all through-access drives shall be consistent with, and <br /> aligned with, residential drives or through-access drives in adjacent <br /> existing or planned development sites. <br /> <br />CITY OF OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS 26 OCTOBER 7, 2002 <br /> <br /> <br />
