4 <br />Inward neighborhood focus, not dispersal of <br />destination <br />'Streets as focal points , not mere thoroughfares, <br />"Revival of social interaction and shared community vision <br />"Flexible design guidelines, not rigid engineering standards <br />Applying these principles results in a de- relopment pattern <br />centered around a village core, featuring a mix of shops and <br />residences. Surrounding the core will be residential neighborhoods <br />with decreasing densities as distance from the core increases. The <br />development design can accommodate a variety of single and multi-family <br />options. Public gathering spaces, human- scaled streetscapes, and <br />appropriate architecture will link neighborhoods throughout the <br />development together. <br />TNC student Eric F1adager mentioned that in order to create this <br />design concept it was necessary to determine the most suitable location <br />for the village core. After that was determined, other neighborhood <br />sites were identified. The success of this concept relies on strong <br />connections between visual and pedestrian focal points. It is also <br />necessary to develop independent pedestrian and automobile networks and <br />define the neighborhoods. Wherever possible, greenways are used to <br />define these neighborhoods. <br />NOTE a FurVf - deta • MM!` __ tY,e +`_om, aT`1. _ <br />agenda file in packets <br />th <br />distributed f_ . mee ing <br />At the next meeting the students will present Impact Analyses for <br />each of these proposed design concepts.
