Utilities will be stubbed under CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) to serve future development to the east. • Water trunk lines must be looped, and development must provide the looping. Watermain will be extended north along Hodgson Road to connect and loop at Linda Avenue as part of a City trunk watermain project. The watermain is also looped around the senior living campus. 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 proximately 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 2-6 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 44 35 ft from the Hodgson Road property line and M 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 ofpursuing an urban form, development is to avoid lining Hodgson with large parking lots. This could include the following elements. 14
