City Council Legacy at Woods Edge March 8, 2004 specifically to Chapter 4 Residential District Standards, due to the elimination of single family residences within this area. Additionally, Chapter 3.8 Project Identity & Signage, and Chapter 5, Public Improvement Standards have been removed. Signage requirements will need to be completed and approved before final plan /final plat approval and incorporated into the standards. The public improvement section was removed because the City is designing all public improvements. Master Site Plan The Master Site Plan and its associated Site Development Summary provides the framework from which development will need to conform to. The plan referred to as the "Regulating Plan" within the development standards specifies the essential physical features for the development including: Streets 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.

These entries are located at important corners or intersections. An important entry provided for in the proposed plan is located mid block on both sides of the community green. This location
