Revised: December 19,2002 Checklist4 BUILDINGS (Private Realm) (� '�. DURABILITY - Buildings throughout the development will he built to last for generations of users. This can be done through the proper use of durable, energy efficient building materials. Suggested i��eriais include glass, architectural metal, masonry manufactured or natural stone, and pre-cast color impregnated concrete. � 2. ADAPTABILITY- Buildings throughout the development will be buill to suit the � first users while being flexible to allow varying uses over ti�ne. Adaptability can be achieved by using simple, modular plans (bays) and allowing co�nplex and less adaptable design to take place at the edges of the buildings. The reason for applying flexibility to building design is that over tiine, it is much easier to zx�ove the walls within a building than to 3nove an entire building or ��ake the building bigger or smaller. This approach will also lower the costs of retrofitting and remodeling for Future uses. Designing for flexibility within the building allows for efficient and cost effective retrofitting and remodeling as well. � 3. BEA�1� — Building walls will be well designed, beautiful, highly valued, and worthy of preservation. Buildings will convey ti�neliness and a sense of pride through the visible presence of good proportion, careful detailing, and thoughtful composition of architectural elements. This can he done with a qualified architect for each building. � 4. MIXED VERTICAL ZONES —Buildings —through good design, will allow different uses to occur on different levels within the same building. This is done through sensitive planning of transitions and separations. I� 5. DISCOUNT RETAIL USE vS. BIG BOX BUILDING TYP�-�The Twin Lakes goals are flexible and allow for large format retail facilities but discourages the single level large footprint concrete box building types. Larger format retail buildings will need to minimize adverse effects on the public realm such as blank street walls, large exposed parking lots and inward orientation. Options to solve this problem can be as follows: Discount retail uses are located on the ground level of multi-level mixed use buildings. ■ Shared parking to the rear (second front) is provided with other uses on a larger b�ock with a distinct exterior or interior — i.e. iarn�ing an 'urban side' and a 'suburban side'. ■ Incorporating the use of common wall (liner) buildings around the outside with independent retail fronts facing the sheet. � � 'r'� ��'� �: nk.rr�i l �� nl8r.��:��7'� 1:7�. l - ' � . � � . �
