Typical in rural settings
- Minimize number of crossings of natural features.
- Maximize connectivity within mixed-use nodes. Maintain 660’ connectivity standard where possible.
- Road alignments should follow topography to minimize cutting and filling.
- Where possible, create neighborhood parkway edges where development fronts onto natural features.
- Maintain continuity of natural systems within developed areas by integrating natural and constructed drainage systems and plantings.
