City of Roseville MN TViin Lakes Design Checklists - DRAFT ESTABLISHING A STRONG PUBLIC REALM: A list of Urban Design Principles to ensure Livability, Walkability and Sustainability. Revised: December 19, 2002 WHAT IS THE PUBLIC TO PRIVATE PATTERN? The street, lot frontage and the building make up the public to private transition that occurs repeatedly throughout Roseville. As the design of each project evolves, the market and the unique needs of the landowner assist in creating the arrangement of the different parts (street, lot frontage, and building) that should exist. These contribute to the "public realm": the environment that all citizens share. To Roseville it is important to encourage the positive impacts of development that recognize the value of the public realm as a community amenity. The City encourages design elements that contribute to a public realm that increases the quality of life for current and future residents. Furthermore - the City has responsibility for defining how the "private realm" (buildings. etc.) affects the "public realm" (streets, public places. etc.) For Twin Lakes this has been done by identifying and encouraging a set of streets (public realm), frontages (semi-private realm) and buildings (public realm) which are consistent with the neighborhood redevelopment vision. Call it a KIT OF PARTS. This Kit of Parts is a menu of development types that - if followed - will help ensure that the "public realm" evolves in a way that satisfies and serves all citizens - residents, workers and customers. The following development checklist is designed to help define ways to implement the "public realm" and provide developers and their architect's "'finen and graphic descriptions of the important components of the Twin Lakes Master Plan. However. the ultimate building design and the range of permined uses - within the private realm - should be market driven and left to the property owner to detail (see Checklist 5: Design Review Process). .
