Design Concepts | ENVISION FRANKLIN 81 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Peytonsville Road East of Future Carothers Parkway to the end of the UGB Peytonsville Road will be the main access road for residences in the southeast portion of the Urban Growth Boundary and its rural character should be preserved. Therefore, a 150-foot setback from the Peytonsville Road right-of-way should be provided as new development occurs. Informal landscape design and rural features, such as stone walls, wood plank fencing, and informal tree plantings should be provided to sustain the scenic and rural quality of the area. New local streets designed to increase access and connectivity should be rural in character. Large swaths of open space should also be provided that connect to the open space of adjacent parcels in order to form a large contiguous area for conservation. South of Reams-Fleming Tract of Berry Farms along Pratt Lane New development south of the Reams-Fleming Tract will heavily depend upon the completion of Reams Fleming Boulevard, the Pratt Lane and Peytonsville Road intersection improvement, as well as the timing of the proposed east-west connector road. Large swaths of open space should be provided that connect to adjacent parcels in order to form a large contiguous area for conservation. Single-family residential on lots of two acres or more is recommended until the needed infrastructure improvements can be constructed. An interstate interchange could have regional significance and necessitate a reevaluation of the Design Concept and Special Considerations. Institutional Uses New Institutional uses and the expansion of existing institutions may be appropriate if the location does not adversely impact access, scale, and traffic of the surrounding area. New uses should be located along arterials or collectors and also located at intersections or designed within a master planned development. A Traffic Impact Analysis may be required to assess the transportation impacts of the proposed development. The conversion of dwellings in existing residential neighborhoods for institutional uses is not appropriate. NEIGHBORHOOD GREEN
