Revised: December 19,2002 � 2. CONNECTION TO LAKES —There will be physically accessible and visually clear corridors connecting all public places to the lalces and parlcs. These corridors can be pathways, sheets, or linear greens and where possible wi�I be continuously %•ained by building frontages on both sides or public open spaces. J 3. COMMERCIALVISIBILITY- Prominent features ofthe urban core development such as towers, fountains, entrance monuments, and signage will be visible from adjacent highway corridors. This will be done without sacrificing the sense of intimacy, enclosure, and human scale so important to pedestrian comfort. � 4. TRANSITION and CONNECTIVITY - Afl existing suburban residential neighborhoods to the north of the development will be sensitively protected and separated both physically and visually from core zones and suburban co�r��nercial development. Yet, they will be formally connected to center areas via a system of waikable streets with sidewallcs — and where necessary — bilce and wallcing paths. � 5. GATEWAYS — There will be a set of buildings and/or landmarlcs clearly marlcing the entries to primary thoroughfares such as Twin Lalces Parlcway (from the West and the East). The gateways will be surrounded by landscaping and fully accessible by car, bicycle, pedestrian and be enclosed by buildings on both sides. L 6. CENTERS, URBAN °� RURAL, PUBLIC � PRIVATE -Twin Lalces will not exclusively be made up of commercial building types set in automobile scaled settings. Rather — they will include many of these commercial uses — but will distribute theFn amongst residential uses in a varying urban pattern that is more compact at the centers and less compact at the edges. There will be both urban and suburban settings in Twin Lalces — with sensitive transitions carried out between each type of development. There will be a proportionally higher quantity of more urban, mixed-use buildings in the center - closely but sensitively placed upan a range of street types. The Twin Lalces Neighborhood will consist of core, neighborhood center, neighborhood general and [ianated suburban zones. � 7. SMALL BLOCKS —There will be a network ofpublic right-ofways forming complete blocics of a size no greater than 500' in length x 300' in width. Mzd- blocic pedestrian passages are acceptable as long as buildings address them with frontages. � w � �. ... .. •'i�•t•-.:.'.F: •.-_� • r.r., . _ i . !
