As a Key component of <br />the overall plan, this integrated system <br />of parks, trails and open space provides <br />the framework around which a other <br />hand uses are organized. Placemakin9 <br />and connectivity are important site <br />development considerations, inking <br />each block and each sub-district with <br />major public spaces nearby and with <br />many other amenities ane attractions in <br />the Town Center. Site development <br />guidelines include the following: <br /> <br />TC5 Land Use <br /> <br />· Encourage connections to proposed <br /> public parks via streets, walkways and <br /> trails as part of every development <br /> plan <br />· Encourage the creation of additional <br /> park space, perhaps mostly private or <br /> sem-public greens, as part of every <br /> development plan <br />· Include park features and recreational <br /> amenities specifically related to <br /> surrounding land use, sub-district <br /> character and defined needs o[ <br /> adjacent buildings <br />· Uses, structures and events, other <br /> than those specifically related to parks <br /> and recreational programs and <br /> activities, are not allowed <br /> <br />TCfi Building Placement <br />· Locate park structures within reasonable viewing distance from adjacent streets, or <br /> park walkways and trails, for easy access and visual surveillance <br />· Locate park structures near primary intersections, pedestrian crosswalks and bridge <br /> crossings to create visual markers and interesting objects within the park Landscape <br /> - frequently these locations can be seen from several directions, perhaps terminate <br /> a view from a distance down the street or sit at a prominent activity node and will <br /> likely become future Landmarks <br /> ,.,.. <br /> <br />TC5 Parking Strategies <br />· Provide on-street parking spaces adjacent to all public and private parks <br />· Provide options for additional/overflow parking on park prope~y to support holiday <br /> traffic and special events including porous pavements and turf parking areas <br /> (Netlon and other soil amendments) <br />· Minimize surface parking lots on park property whenever possible to maximize <br /> green space <br />· Locate surface parking lots away from the major streets and provide adequate <br /> screening that includes plantings, fencing: earth berms or other attractive solutions <br /> <br /> <br />
