3 <br /> (2) Travel-time contour maps produced for every <br /> major interchange and town center in study area <br /> plus travel time to RTP <br /> Attachment 6 (3) Travel time contour maps are overlaid to <br /> produce composite map which breaks study area <br /> down into 4 levels of accessibility <br /> (1 = most accessible . . .. 4 = least accessible) <br /> 4. Analysis <br /> Attachment 7 a. Physio - Access Districts Map <br /> (1) Produced by overlaying slope, slope orientation <br /> vegetation, soils, and relative accessibility <br /> levels maps. <br /> (2) Defines 54 physiographic types and their <br /> relative accessibility based on: <br /> (a) Slope (1=0-7 1/2%, 2=7 1/2-15%, 3=over 15%) <br /> (b) Slope Orientation (W=Warm, C=Cold) <br /> (c) Vegetation (W=Wetland, T=Trees, O=Open) <br /> (d) Soils (D=Desirable, M=Marginal, <br /> U=Undesirable) <br /> (3) Each of 54 physiographic types are defined by <br /> the environmental characteristics which make <br /> them up; e.g. , a 2WTM physiographic type would <br /> have: <br /> (a) 7 1/2 -15% slope <br /> (b) Warm slope orientation <br /> (c) Trees <br /> (d) Marginal soils <br /> Attachment 8 b. Development Intensity types, i.e. , the type and <br /> level of development a physiographic type can <br /> support: <br /> (1) Seven types defined <br /> (a) Type I = least intense development <br /> (b) Type VII = most intense development <br /> (2) For each Physiographic type, a Development <br /> Intensity Type is determined and assigned <br /> (3) For each Development Intensity Type compatible <br /> uses and densitites must be defined <br /> B. Goals and Objectives <br /> 1. Purpose <br /> a. To gauge the feelings of 'TPA residents relative to: <br /> (1) Quality of life <br /> (2) High vs. low density residential development <br /> (3) Open Space <br /> (4) Environment <br /> (5) Non-residential development <br /> b. To serve as a determinate of location and <br /> intensities of land uses proposed in the plan <br /> 2. How to be accomplished <br /> a. Planning Board and Township Advisory Councils review <br /> and approval <br /> b. Public meetings <br />
