The second project of the semester was complex. It required the solution to planning and design problems at different scales. On phase of the project required that a team of students learn existing and proposed land subdivision ordinances. They studied the potential impact of both ordinances on groups of land parcels. The fist set of images below are from a study of the ordinance impact on an 8 square mile portion of the county. The first image identifies the study area between two towns which is under increasing development pressure.
These maps identify the existing conditions, such as roads, buildings, steep slopes and water courses, within the sudy area.
The image below provides examples of the impact of the existing land subdivision rule and a proposed subdivision ordinance over the 8 square mile area.
The board below is a detailed site analysis of a smaller study area. It was the basis of a set of site planning guidelines used to locate proposed buildings when modeling existing and proposed subdivision ordinances.
The two plans shown here are subdivision alternatives on a small portion of the county. One alternative is based on the existing 40 acre subdivision rule and the second on a proposed rule. Both alternatives exercise good site planning practices and respond to the site analysis. Currently the county has little opportunity to encourage good analysis or positive site planning
This model illustrates the previous plan in a three dimensional view.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT NORTH OF MOSCOW
Four teams of students created prototypes of conservation subdivisions.
Actual sites within the area of impact of the City of Moscow were planned
and designed according to the city's Planned Unit Development option and
the
concepts advanced by Randal Arendt. The first set of images below show a
master plan, site perspectives and site engineering details.
The next four images illustrate two solutions for the design of a
conservation subdivision on
another site.
Two more teams of students developed prototypes for a rural village within
the county and beyond the city area of impact.
