3 - Site Design (2)

Front 1

Stormwater Schematic Design Strategies:

Back 1

1. Use stormwater design to slow runoff velocities

2. Use infiltration to mitigate loss of pervious surfaces

3. Minimize impervious surfaces

4. Fit development to the terrain

5. Use natural drainage system whenever possible

6. Urban streams should be buffered with min. 25ft of undisturbed forest and 50-100 ft of manages veg.

Physical characteristics of pedestrians:

Back 2

1. Most people are not willing to walk distances greater than 700 ft

2. Human cone of vision: 30 degrees vertical and 60 degrees horizontal

3. 1:4 ratio is the comfortable external enclosure ratio

Front 3

Conflicts of bike and roads includes:

Back 3

1. Bike turning left across traffic

2. Bike crossing an intersection when vehicle traffic is entering from or turning to the right

3. Failure to yield by both bike and car

Front 4

Outdoor lighting strategies:

Back 4

1. Provide alignment of light fixtures positioned in consistent, recognizable and unambiguous patterns

2. The subtle use of varying brightness, heights, spacing and color of fixture lighting

3. Clear lighting patterns reinforce the direction of circulation
