13 Site Design, Urban Form • The intent is to create an urban form for the area. The main senior living campus, restaurant and commercial building have been intentionally pulled towards Hodgson Road and CR J for multiple reasons. One is to create an edge and urban form along the corridor as required by the Master Plan. Two, the building locations were also in response to the Woodridge and Rohavic Oaks neighborhood’s concern regarding proximity of the buildings, noise, buffers etc. to their homes. The site design transitions from single story cottage homes on the north and west to the 2-story skilled care wing with the 3- and 4-story buildings closest to Hodgson Road. Three, the building shift also maximizes site design and efficiency. The senior living campus setback tapers from 30.97 ft to 26 33.68 ft from the Hodgson Road property line. The restaurant setback tapers from 35 ft to 15 ft from the Hodgson Road property line. The commercial building and fast food setback is 11 35 ft from the Hodgson Road property line and 30 35 ft from the Ash Street property line. These building locations and setbacks are consistent with the Master Plan. • Development layouts are to include buildings at intersection corners to establish the “cornerstones” of the area’s urban form. 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 ft from the internal public road property line. One larger parking lot with joint parking facilities and cross easements is encouraged has been created between Phase 2 (restaurant) and Phase 3 (commercial building).
