56 ENVISION FRANKLIN | Design Concepts USES Uses Single-Family Residential, Accessory Dwellings, and Institutional (See Special Consideration) FORM Building Placement Buildings and their main entrances should be oriented toward the street and should generally have deep front-, side-, and rear-yard setbacks. Double frontage, reverse frontage, and flag lots are discouraged. Building Character New buildings along established streets should be designed to be compatible with the established character along the street and should be sensitive to nearby buildings. Front-loaded garages should be detached or recessed. Building Height Maximum of two and one-half stories Lot Size Minimum of 30,000 square feet SITE DESIGN Landscape Existing natural features, such as hillsides, hilltops, and tree rows, enhance the area and should be preserved. Historic site features such as cemeteries, barns, accessory structures, and agriculturally related features should be preserved in their locations and context with careful site design around them to preserve the character of Franklin. Common design elements, such as fieldstone walls and wood plank fencing, should be preserved and used along major thoroughfares to reflect Franklin’s community identity. Amenities Amenities should include subdivision entrance features and signage. Outside of floodplain and hillside open space requirements, additional open space should not be required with new development due to large lot sizes that provide private open space. Parking Off-street MOBILITY Vehicular Vehicular connections should be provided through adjacent developments, connect to the existing street network, and provide an interconnected sidewalk and street network in a grid or modified grid pattern. Streets and internal drives should be designed for slower speeds to allow for pedestrian safety. If there are existing street connections or stubouts adjacent to proposed developments, then those in the proposed developments should connect to the existing street network. If there are no existing street or stubout connections, then other locations should be identified in order to increase connectivity between developments. Bicycle and Pedestrian New development should provide sidewalks, multi-use paths, and trails throughout its open spaces. They should connect to other conservation areas, paths, adjacent uses, and streets. These bicycle, pedestrian, and multi-use path connections should be designed and provided per Connect Franklin and the Parks Master Plan. Transit N/A LARGE-LOT RESIDENTIAL
