POLICIES: The City of Roseville and the Roseville Chamber of Commerce as well as the Cornerstone Merchants Association must emphasize coordinated quality architectural design (both residential and commercial). improved public parks. sidewalks and paths, compatible roadways street design, marketing plans. economic development incentives. and exceptional customer service retailing. To do this we must: 1. Create an integrated road system throughout the Cornerstone including: a. Construct three and four lane (12 feet per lane) road systems to move traffic efficiently but at residentially acceptable speeds. including a center left turn pavement textured or colored lane total for a paved width of 40 to 66 feet (with additional expansion for right turn traffic - where right-of-way is available). b. Construct a two lane interior street system to provide slower traffic "Cornerstone residential streets" (50-60 feet of right-of-way) branching from the Corners and grid roads and including private roads. c. Construct a minimum of a 6-foot wide public sidewalk (or 8 foot wide pathway) with an 8 foot to 11-foot wide street tree planting area and an easement for a street furniture strip beyond the sidewalk; all to be installed as buildings are constructed or reconstructed along the County roads and interior public or private roads. d. Construct pedestrian park areas with sidewalk furniture and public art or displays within each Cornerstone area. and make it accessible from the interior road system. e. Allow for buildings to set within ten feet of the road right-of-way lines (a ten foot front building setback). Allow main building entry areas to open on to 6 to lO-foot wide sidewalk system. Encourage active neighborhood window shopping. sidewalk cafes, and other activities consistent with a traditional human scale "village" Cornerstone. Create "secondary" building entrances and connections to parking areas and pedestrian ways on the inside ofthe corner to the residential neighborhood. Allow for parallel parking on the interior roads. f. Work with developers and owners to pave and landscape the inside of the corners to take on the image ofthe "people oriented village green or commons" with parking. pedestrian ways, lighting. street furniture. fountains. and play apparatus. g. Develop a series of architectural design guidelines which emphasize human scale building facades with windows, signage. uniform street lighting fixtures. and street improvements at the street level. 4
