<br />Introduction and Summary <br /> <br />Illustrative Guiding. Plan <br /> <br />Several of the principles conveyed in this land use plan and the district design guidelines <br />have been expressed in the Illustrative Guiding Plan, Figure 11, on page 4-11. That <br />sketch is meant to illustrate one possible way in which this plan might be realized but is <br />certainly not the only development pattern. The market may propose a wide variety of <br />additional building patterns that are just as desirable (if not more so) and which are also <br />consistent with this plan and the City's zoning regulations. <br /> <br />Urban Design Guidelines <br /> <br />A comprehensive set of design guidelines for both private and public improvements will <br />help ensure a high quality of physical improvements. Refer to chapter 5. <br /> <br />These and other statements will guide the future design of the study area: <br /> <br />· The B2 District will be a place where people can live, work and play. <br /> <br />· The district will be a compact, architecturally diverse, pedestrian-friendly community <br />with a distinct identity. <br /> <br />· It will provide sidewalks and places for people to gather and socialize. <br /> <br />· Design guidelines will be followed to promote an attractive environment with lasting <br />value. The district is dedicated to the belief that we desire to integrate nature, home, <br />work and leisure. <br /> <br />Redesign of County Road E <br /> <br />County Road E is proposed to be redesigned as a landscaped boulevard with a central, <br />landscaped median that will focus the left-turn movements, improve traffic safety, greatly <br />enhance appearances and set the tone for private redevelopment. The redesign of the <br />County Road will also introduce a pair of bicycling lanes, a greatly needed addition. <br /> <br />The improvements preliminarily planned for transforming County Road E into Lake <br />Johanna Boulevard are listed below and illustrated by the sketch on page 4-7 and Figure <br />11, Illustrative Guiding Plan, on page 4-11. <br />· A traffic signal system at the future intersection located between Pine Tree Drive and <br />Lexington Avenue. <br />· Replacement signals, arms and poles for the existing signal systems at (all optional): <br />- . The eastern ramp terminals of Highway 51. <br />- Pine Tree Drive. <br />- Lexington Avenue. <br />· Boulevard trees spaced at an average of 40 feet. <br />· Relocating the electrical boxes near the street where feasible. <br />· A planted median that may include trees along with shrubs, tall grasses and/or annual <br />flowers. <br />· Decorative lighting at the automobile scale (on the existing bases, located 200 feet <br />apart); optional extra: decorative lighting at the pedestrian scale located <br />approximately 50 to 70 feet apart). <br /> <br />1-3 The New Lake Johanna Boulevard <br /> <br />7 October <br />
