■ Provide visual terminus points. Major views <br /> along roadways and open spaces within the <br /> development should have a terminus in the <br /> form of a building, major building element •�f <br /> (such as a door, window, or tower), or signifi- <br /> cant landscaping. Where there is open space, <br /> the view into or through the open space should <br /> ■ be framed with building edges or significant <br /> landscaping. On a smaller scale, pedestrian <br /> ways and sidewalks should be created in , <br /> small segments with turns and terminus <br /> points,which might include a tree, a fountain, <br /> a bench, a small open space, statuary, or other <br /> change in environment. <br /> ■ Surround the central open space. The major central open space element should be surrounded <br /> ■ by significant development on all sides, both to help define the edges of the space and to provide <br /> maximum amenity and views to a large share of the development. <br /> ■ Building Placement, Height, Massing <br /> ■ Buildings should occupy all corners whenever <br /> possible, the more prominent the corner within <br /> the development, the more significant the <br /> building and its attention to the corner. _ <br /> ■ Building massing will generally be higher on <br /> the east half of the site and lower on the west <br /> half. Building heights should stagger gradu- <br /> ally from one development to another, vary- <br /> ing by no more than one level between adja- <br /> cent buildings. <br /> ■ Buildings at the north and south ends of the <br /> major internal open space can be of signifi- <br /> cant height and prominence in order to an- <br /> chor these locations. <br /> Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment Plan St. Anthony Village Page 5.9 <br />
