11 The main senior living campus at the southwest corner of Hodgson Road and the future public road creates a corner stone at that intersection. A Lyngblomsten monument sign at the north side of the public road also creates a strong corner. The future commercial building at the Hodgson Road and CR J intersection is also consistent with the Master Plan’s gateway and cornerstone vision by providing the space for a community entrance sign and promenade. • As another means of pursuing an urban form, development is to avoid lining Hodgson with large parking lots. This could include the following elements. o Buildings fronting along Hodgson in addition to the cornerstone buildings o Extensive landscaping and screening of parking lots will be required along Hodgson and CR J, including boulevard trees and decorative fencing or walls. Landscaping must be included on the street side of fences or walls along parking lots. The parking lots for the senior living campus, restaurant and commercial building are internal to the development and not located along Hodgson Road and CR J. They are setback a minimum of 15 feet from the internal public road property line. One larger parking lot with joint parking facilities and cross easements is encouraged between Phase 2 (restaurant) and Phase 3 (commercial building). • Larger parking areas should be planned with internal landscaping, pedestrian sidewalks or walkways and be divided into smaller areas where possible: o Pedestrian walkways provided in larger parking lots should be landscaped, include path lighting, and provide direct access for pedestrians to an entrance of a commercial building; o Walkways should be raised, paved areas or defined paths distinguished by striping or a change in paving provided that pedestrians are kept safe from vehicular travel on the route to an entrance of a commercial building. The senior living parking lot includes landscaped islands and the perimeter along the public road is landscaped and screened with shrubs and trees. The sidewalk along the public road connects to a sidewalk leading to the main building for pedestrian connectivity. Future development of the restaurant and commercial building will require similar connections. • Sidewalks are to be constructed on both sides of Hodgson Road and on the north side of Co. Rd. J to form connections to the trails to the development areas and contribute to the urban form of the area. A 9 foot wide path is being constructed along the west side of Hodgson Road. A trail and/or sidewalk will be required when the east side of Hodgson Road develops. A trail and/or decorative sidewalk will also be constructed along CR J in conjunction with development of the commercial building.
