Design Concepts | ENVISION FRANKLIN 103 The Rural Reserve Design Concept is intended to help preserve the natural beauty of Franklin through innovative design that helps celebrate nature while transitioning from the more densely populated City to the rural County. Preliminary design considerations for new development should focus on identifying the natural features that should be preserved within a required 50 percent open space in a meaningful way, followed after by new residential lots of one-half acre minimum. Preserved open space is a valued amenity and should be the focal point of this design concept by clustering residential uses around preserved environmental features and identified open spaces. A network of trails should be provided throughout the open spaces to provide access and encourage use of these areas. Multi-use trails should also connect to the broader community-wide system of sidewalks and multi-use trails.
