I. SITE PLANNING <br />Fig. 3: Street trees and one story pitched roof <br />buildings are used to help enclose the pedestrian <br />streetscape without dominating it. <br />3. The public oriented elements of a well designed, <br />pedestrian streetscape include separated sidewalks; <br />coordinated placement and retention of large stature <br />trees; coordinated street furniture, signage, and <br />lighting; and integrated recreational facility links. <br />Curb -line sidewalks may be acceptable on cul-de-sacs <br />or local access loops with low traffic volumes (i.e., <br />generated by 20 housing units) <br />4. The private site elements of a well designed <br />pedestrian streetscape include buildings which use <br />siting, scale, and materials to provide a sense of <br />quality design and enclosure without overwhelming <br />the pedestrian with building mass. <br />5. There should be a gradual, high quality transition <br />from a pedestrian oriented streetscape to multi -story <br />buildings. The transition should emphasize quality <br />pedestrian scale architecture and materials, plantings <br />of varying heights, and use pedestrian oriented <br />entries, courts, and lighting. It is at this interface that <br />the neighborhood's quality will be perceived by the <br />public. <br />3 <br />
