I I. I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I. I I Evaluation of Plan: This scenario addresses existing and potential deficiencies, such as the need for multi- community ballfields and additional sites for higher-density housing. It also provides space for a golf course, which has surfaced again and again as a desirable community amenity. In addition, it provides a large area for the joint City/County/National Guard maintenance facility, in which MnDOT might also participate. Overall rating: Excellent UC4 Does the plan respond to expected short-term and long-term market demands? Indicators . Extent to which the plan provides land for uses that can be marketed quickly (i.e., uses for which there is current and short-term demand). . Extent to which the plan affords flexibility to respond to long-term market changes by setting aside areas that may be used by several uses without reducing the integrity of the overall plan. . Extent to which the plan provides space for an opportunity that is not now foreseen and is not available in the general vicirtity -- that is, a unique opportunity. . Extent to which the plan protects land that will be needed for long-term development. Evaluation of Plan: The plan dermes general land-use categories that may respond to market changes over time. These include broadly-defmed single- and multi-family areas, as well as areas that may be used for commercial, office and industrial development. Overall rating: Excellent Transportation and Infrastructure Tel Does the primary transportation network lend itself to efficient development patterns and adequate property access? Indicators . Extent to which the transportation network links TCAAP to the regional network. . Extent to which the land use areas shown in the plan can be divided into a wide variety oflot configurations and parcel sizes to be served by a variety of potential street layouts. . Extent to which sites within the land use areas of the plan lie within 1/4 mile ofa collector roadway. . Extent to which major roadways within the plan duplicate the functions of or access provided by other nearby roadways. Evaluation of Plan: The internal network would adequately link TCAAP to the regional system. Development parcel and lot sizes are suitable for the intended uses. Some minor Ilduplicationll of roads occurs on the west side, where a residcntial collector parallels a commercial/industrial collector. Overall rating: Good TC2 Does the transportation system provide adequately for different travel modes? Indicators . Extent to which activity centers in the plan can be readily connected using off-street trails. . Extent to which the plan provides a good location for a transit hub or transfer point. . Extent to which the transportation network lends itself to transit service that does not have to double back, cross itself or travel the same piece of road twice. . Extent to which sites within the land use areas of the plan lie within 1/4 mile of a collector roadway. Evaluation of Plan: The transportation network is designed to separate residential from non-residential traffic wherever possible. As a result, the system is not quite as efficient as it might otherwise be from a pure traffic- delivery standpoint. However, it may be efficiently served by transit, and most parts of the site, except the Camiras. Ltd.lSEH, Inc.lLHDL, Ltd. TCAAP Framework Plan Page 7 Chapter V
