I. SITE PLANNING <br />Circulation <br />Fig. 10: Key sidewalk intersections and <br />segments are marked with contrasting pavers. <br />Building enby mea <br />Fig. 11: Detached garages and cul de sacs <br />reduce parking area prominence on the <br />streetscape. <br />20. The project entry should reflect a high level of <br />quality using distinctive materials, landscaping and <br />structures. <br />21. A comprehensive system of pedestrian sidewalks <br />should link all building entries, parking lots, <br />recreation areas and the project entries; with the area - <br />wide sidewalk system. <br />22. Sidewalks should be a minimum of six feet wide <br />between public roadway and the junction where <br />pedestrian traffic begins to disperse. This would <br />allow one pedestrian to pass another and remain on <br />the sidewalk. A minimum four foot wide sidewalk, <br />may then be acceptable. <br />23. Sidewalk crossings of on-site roadways should be <br />distinguished by a different material and slightly <br />raised to prevent runoff from flowing across them. <br />24. The on-site vehicle circulation system should be <br />designed as follows: <br />A maximum of two vehicle access points, <br />depending on parcel characteristics and difficulty <br />of access, to reduce traffic impacts and the site <br />area devoted to roads instead of architecture and <br />landscape/recreation space, <br />• Create very low volume cul-de-sacs to allow <br />multiple use as street oriented social/recreation <br />areas, and <br />• Stress shared driveways between adjacent <br />developments. <br />25. Driveways should avoid crossing pedestrian <br />walkways and paths from residence to children's play <br />area. <br />7 <br />
