• Planning & Zoning Board Legacy at Woods Edge December 10, 2003 A minimum framework of streets is required as presented in the master plan. Town Center Parkway, including the traffic circle, Village Drive and the roads surrounding the "Community Green" have been established with specific design standards. The proposed street layout is generally consistent with the Calthorpe Master Plan. Build -to Lines Build -to Lines define locations where buildings must be built within a certain distance of the public right -of -way. Bringing building fronts close to the edge of streets enhances the continuity, attractiveness and intimacy of pedestrian spaces. The build -to line defines a location at which 1) a certain minimum percentage of the block length must contain buildings, and 2) those buildings must be built within a maximum distance from the right -of -way. As represented by the building layout on the Master Plan, build -to lines extend along Town Center Parkway, Village Drive, and around the Community Green. A minimum of 50 to 70 percent of the block must have buildings, parks, or plazas adjacent to the build -to lines. In commercial and mixed use areas buildings may be setback no greater than 5 feet from the right - of -way line. In residential districts, buildings adjacent to build to lines can be setback no further than 15 feet. The proposed development conforms to these requirements. Required Building Entries The Regulating Plan identifies the location where major building entries must be provided to create important pedestrian and visual connections. These entries are located at important corners or intersections. An important entry provided for in the proposed plan is located mid Nock on both sides of the community green. This location is the primary access point to upper story residential units and provides an important link between the parking areas and the community green. Gateways Entrances to the Woods Edge development should be marked by distinctive features that announce your arrival at the Town Center. These locations are indicated on the Regulating Plan. Site Development Summary The associated development summary provides the connection between the site layout and the intended use and size of individual buildings. Buildings 6, 7, 10, 16 and 17 represent the mixed commercial /residential structures. 5
