Plank, Attorney for the Applicant, and reading as follows:
COLOMET FARM STATEMENT ADDRESSING TND PRINCIPLES, DOMINION HOMES
The Colomet Farm Site is approximately 111.65 acres and is located in Prairie Township in southwest Franklin County. The site is located on the west side of Galloway Road, approximately ½ mile south of Hall Road. The intersection of Hall Road and Galloway has some recent neighborhood commercial development, as well as planned residential development to the north of this site. Farm fields abut the south/ southwest edges of our site, and a subdivision (Village Park) forms the eastern boundary. Galloway Road forms the west boundary, and another subdivision is across the street from the site.
It is the intention of this development to incorporate the principles of the Traditional Neighborhood Development Ordinance. The precedent set forth by both this document is the creation of viable communities that focus on pedestrian as well as vehicular requirements.
A. The basic increment of planning is the transit-supportive, mixed-use neighborhood of a minimum density of five units per acre.
The plan outlines a mix of residential housing types, with different density ranges to achieve an overall density of up to 4.0 units per acre. This density is a transit supportive density.
B. The neighborhood is defined by an easy walking distance from edge to center, ranging from a quarter mile to a half mile.
The neighborhood is defined by a large (+/- 7 acres) wetland preserve located in the northeast corner of the site. Smaller greens and neighborhood parks are distributed throughout the TND, and all homes are within a quarter mile walking distance to green space. The geographic center of the site is approximately 3500 feet from the intersection of Galloway and Hall Roads, which has a new neighborhood retail center as well. The interconnected street grid and green space distribution promotes pedestrian flows throughout the TND. Sidewalks and bikeways will carry pedestrians from the west to Galloway Road, where it is possible that a future transit stop could be established by COTA.
C. A variety of housing stock serves a range of incomes and age groups and includes backyard apartments, apartments above shops and residential units adjacent to work places.
Three varieties of home models will serve a range of incomes and age groups. Dominion Homes will offer the Celebration series, the Liberty series and the Independence series of homes in the single-family portions of the site. A potential multi-family site is being reserved in the southeast portion of the site, which will offer another alternative of housing to the community.
D. A variety of business types are accommodated, from retail and professional offices to "live-work" units and outbuildings for start up businesses. The office stock serves a range from home occupations to conventional office buildings. The retail stock includes a range from the corner store to small supermarkets.
Employment based uses and shopping opportunities exist to the immediate north at the intersection of Galloway and Hall Roads, and also northeast of the site at I-270 and West Broad Street.
E. Special sites are reserved for civic buildings to serve as symbols of the community, thus enhancing community identity.
A large wetland in the northeast corner of the site is being preserved and featured as a common open space for the entire neighborhood. A central green has also been planned for this neighborhood, and is located in the western portion of the site.
F. A variety of civic spaces take the form of parks, greens, squares and plazas.
A variety of civic spaces are dispersed throughout the site and vary is size from ½ acre to over 7 acres.
G. A variety of thoroughfares are designed to be equitable to the pedestrian, bicycle and automobile. Thoroughfares are connected in such a way as to encourage walking and reduce the number and length of automobile trips.
Thoroughfare types include collector streets, local streets and lanes as well as bicycle paths and sidewalks. All streets and lanes are interconnected with entrances to the neighborhood from Galloway Road and from ash Park Road to the west. A bicycle path is proposed to run along Galloway Road, linking the site to the surrounding neighborhoods to the north and east.
H. Building frontages spatially delineate thoroughfares and civic spaces and mask parking lots.
The streetscape defines the thoroughfares and is characterized by a variety of house types. In all cases, the streets will be defined by the homes, which will generally have tight setbacks to promote a pedestrian oriented streetscape. Some of the homes (Celebration) will feature setback attached garages; a portion of the homes (Independence) will be serviced by detached garages and lanes, which will mask the parking all together. The remainder of the homes (Liberty) will have detached garages behind the houses that will be accessed from the street. The garage will typically be 55' behind the façade of the home thereby masking the parking area also. There are no parking lots proposed. On street parking will be provided for guests.
I. Smaller block sizes reflecting intensity of use for each district will serve to support the above principles.
Block size is consistent with the transect diagrams illustration for neighborhood edge and neighborhood general. Most blocks will be about 600'-800' in length. A few are longer (up to 1200' length), and in those situations the house lots are organized to minimize the "visual" length of the streets (see plan).
