northeastern residential area, will be readily accessible to transit service. Overall rating: Good TC3 Does the plan permit practical reuse of existing infrastructure systems? Indicators II> Extent to which the plan can accommodate reuse of major utility components, such as the water reservoir or electrical substation. . Extent to which the plan will reuse existing roadbeds. . Extent to which the plan can reuse existing underground utility systems (water, sewer, gas, electricity, etc.). Evaluation of Plan: This scenario could reuse major utility components. However, reuse of underground utility systems would be limited and probably impractical. Existing road access points may be reused, however. Overall rating: Pair TC4 Do the transportation and utility systems respect and enhance natural featnres? Indicators . Extent to which the transportation network follows natural contours and minimizes the need for major site grading or wetland mitigation. II> Extent to which the roadway network avoids sensitive natural areas, wildlife habitats and corridors, steep slopes, unique vegetation and other easily damaged natural features. II> Extent to which the roadway network capitalizes on opportunities to create interesting visual experiences such as vistas, elements of surprise, etc. . Extent to which retention ponds and NURP ponds are needed to control stormwater drainage. Evaluation of Plan: This scenario is better than earlier plans at minimizing disruption to natural areas. Roadways are most prevalent in parts of the site that have already been impacted by development (e.g., in the southwest quadrant). On-site retention and NURP ponds will be needed to control and filter stormwater drainage. Overall rating: Good TC5 Will site development overburden the regional higbway network? Indicators . Extent to which traffic loads generated by the plan would cause traffic on regional roads to exceed their capacity . . Extent to which the plan can accommodate alternative transportation modes (e.g., public transit, bicycle commuting, etc,) that reduce automobile use. Evaluation of Plan: This plan would load a significant amount of traffic onto the regional roadway system, demanding some improvements in existing capacities and configurations. However, an internal trail system would encourage non-vehicular travel within the site and connect the site to other portions of the region. Neighborhood- serving commercial uses would be present in the village center (and directly across Lexington Avenue in Shoreview). Overall rating' Pair Open Space and Recreation RCl Does the plan provide a balance of active and passive recreation opportunities, and of spaces for community-wide and neighborhood use? Indicators . Extent to which the plan provides space for active recreational pursuits, such as ballfields. Camiros, Ltd.lSEH, Inc.lLHDL, Ltd_ TCAAP Framework Plan Page 8 Chapter V I .1 I I I I I I I ..
