I Ie I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I .. I I Overall rating: Excellent Residential: This plan retains great flexibility in both the residential and non-residential areas, and it also contains a special opportunity site. However, it is also the plan most likely to be seriously affected by the negatives associated with existing on-site uses. Overall rating: Good Transportation and Infrastructure TCl 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 of lot 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 of a collector roadway. . Extent to which major roadways within the plan duplicate the functions of or access provided by other nearby roadways. All Plans: Each plan divides use areas into large blocks ofland that may be configured in a variety of ways. No site in the center of any employment areas is more than 1/4 mile from a major roadway. An access road along I-35W to the office/business or special opportunity site north of County H is provided in each plan, and frontage or feeder roads may be provided along both US 10 and CSAH 96 as well. In every scenario, the only types of development that might lie more than 1/4 mile from a collector are single-family residential and large-scale sports or recreation. OfficelIndustrial: In this plan, TCAAP is well-linked to the region at I-35W and County H on the west and at Hamline and CSAH 96 on the south. Connections at County I on the north are not as strong, due to the residential character of the land immediately north of the site, but the principal site outlet is less than 1/2 mile from the interchange at I-35W and County 1. Each roadway shown in the plan serves a unique function. Overall rating: Good Town Center: This plan shows the same roadway characteristics as the office/indusrrial plan, although the road configuration is somewhat different due to the nature of the land uses. Overall rating: Good Open Space: This plan shows the same roadway connections as the office/industrial and town center plans, but only one interior road actually runs through the site, from Hamline at CSAH 96 to I-35W at County H. The northerly connection serves only one portion of the site and does not provide access to the rest ofTCAAP. Overall rating: Fair Residential: In the interest of keeping residential and industrial/business traffic separate, this plan provides two northwest-southeast roadways that might be construed as redundant, even though they would receive different treatments to suit their roles. However, this plan provides an additional linkage to the regional network, via Snelling at CSAH 96, while relocating the usual link at CSAH 96 from Hamline to a location further west. 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 docs not have to double back, cross itself or travel the same piece of road twice. Camiros. Ltd.lSEH, Inc./LHDL, Ltd.
