defined in regional park plans with the trails <br />within the Downtown Area. <br />Of equal importance is the contribution from <br />each block and each development project to <br />this open space network, adding a variety of <br />private, semi -private, and perhaps some <br />additional public space throughout the <br />Downtown Area. Private development will <br />share the responsibility to provide inviting, <br />innovative and useable green space as <br />integral parts of individual parcel site <br />design. <br />Guideline Recommendations <br />The Centerville Downtown Area will have <br />new open space that did not previously exist <br />in the City. Toward that end, Open Space <br />guidelines encourage the following: <br />• Work with the City to create an integrated, <br />comprehensive open space system that <br />links with existing city and regional trails and <br />open space. Reroute the proposed regional <br />trail from CSAH 14 to Heritage Street, thus <br />providing a safer and more appealing <br />connection around downtown. Regional <br />trail connection will be maintained along <br />CSAH 14 until parcels to the south are <br />assembled for development and will <br />accommodate the revised trail alignment <br />shown on the master plan; <br />Downtown Centerville <br />Master Plan & Development Guidelines <br />• Maintain trail width shall be 12' where it <br />occurs on residential streets and a minimum <br />of 10' in other areas; <br />• Encourage private development (block by <br />block) to share in the responsibility to <br />provide inviting, innovative and useable <br />green space as integral parts of each <br />development project; <br />• Continue to work with St. Genevieve's <br />church on the future of their land on <br />Centerville Lake and insure that public <br />access to the lake can be accommodated at <br />some point in the future; <br />• Integrate storm water management <br />components (meeting water quality and <br />quantity requirements) within both <br />public/private parks and open space <br />improvements. Together, the system of <br />public and semi-public green space will <br />result in a welcoming public realm <br />throughout the revitalized downtown. <br />B. III. Transportation Systems <br />The system of streets and public rights-of- <br />way are the primary way people will <br />experience downtown. It is critical that the <br />January 4, 2006 Page 10 of 34 <br />
