The purpose of this section is to: (1) Enhance pedestrian and vehicular connectivity between residential areas and to surrounding uses and amenities; (2) Provide safe and attractive streets for residents; (3) Create cohesive neighborhoods designed around centralized park or open spaces; (4) Create walkable neighborhoods; (5) Create community open space amenities which lend identity to a neighborhood and are used by its residents in many ways; (6) Create a system of parks that are accessible and interconnected, providing a greater amenity to the community; (7) Retain sensitive natural areas and other unique natural features as community open space. 17.35.020-Standards. The following standards apply to all residential subdivisions and development unless otherwise noted: (1) _NeighbeFheed Units. Large new developments (more than twenty aGFes) should be designed 6_1.1-8 US-6.

Main pedestFian paths or stFeets into a neighboFlhood should be tFeated as gateways with speGial lands . i _, ._ ge, or etheF identifiable features; (2) House-Single family and driveway design. The following standards apply to new developments with more than four lots; (A) Design driveways with minimum amounts of impervious surface and minimum presence on the street to retain green-space and reduce surface water runoff. Driveways must meet the following standards: Page 13 ATTACHMENT A (i) _ the frent pFoperty line is twelve feet. if autemabile aGGess is fFeFn the alley, the m im m . Ith at the ear nrenerti line ie eighteen feet (i+) Driveways and vehicle circulation pavements shall be the minimum size, necessary to accommodate vehicle storage and circulation. The county may require that pavement dimensions be modified to reduce impervious surface. Applicants are encouraged to use pervious materials, where feasible, such as split pavements with lawns or unit pavers in the center of the driveway, DevelopMents of meFe than ten dwelling units 6hall featuFe shaFed driveways for a least fifty peFGent of the residential lots; (B) Design homes that minimize the impact of garages on the street and enhance the sense of neighborhood. Specifically: (i) All homes should include a porch or covered entry facing the street, (ii) Garages visible from the street shall be setback at least five feet further than the front wall of the house facing the street; (3) Street Network. The following standards apply to new developments with more than four lots: (A) The street pattern for new residential development shall emphasize a connected network of streets rather than long irregular loops with dead-ends and cul-de-sacs. Such a network will provide better traffic flows, orientation, and shorter trips through the neighborhood. Intersections should occur at no more than four hundred foot intervals; (B) The street pattern should be adjusted for existing topography and other natural features, while maintaining interconnections and function; (C) Streets should interconnect neighborhoods_. At least thirty three pernent Of Streets should he through streetsi (D) Allow for future connections where topography permits a street to be extended in the future; (E) Consider alleys in the design of a street system—which have proven useful in reducing on- street parking pressure and pedestrian/driveway conflicts. Alleys are also the most appropriate location for utilities and other service facilities. Alleys also enhance the appearance of the street since garages will be located at the rear of homes; (4) Street Design. The following standards are consistent with the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Green Book and apply to all public streets in residential areas with traffic volumes less than 4,000 average daily traffic and speeds less than 30 mph : (A) Residential streets shall be designed per Table 4; Page 14 ATTACHMENT A Table 4 Residential street design standards LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS Classification Primary Collector Secondary or Sub-Collector Access Street Principal tFaffis aFterialcollector within residential areas.

Page 18 ATTACHMENT A LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT 17.80.010- Purpose. The goal of low impact development is to conserve and use existing natural site features, to integrate distributed, small-scale stormwater controls, and to prevent measurable harm to streams, lakes, wetlands, and other natural aquatic systems from commercial, residential, or industrial development sites by maintaining a more hydrologically functional landscape. The purpose of this chapter is to establish the development guidelines, requirements and standards-for low impact development projects. While the use Of iRdividual law impaGt development (LID) teGhniques does not neGessarily fulfill the Fequffirement6 for a LID PFGjeGt, all pFejeGts are eRGOUFaged to use LID As part of meeting these purposes and goals, this chapter is intended to fulfill the following purposes: (1) Manage stormwater through a land development strategy that emphasizes conservation and use of on-site natural features integrated with engineered, small-scale hydrologic controls to more closely mimic predevelopment hydrologic conditions; (2) Encourage creative and coordinated site planning, the conservation of natural conditions and features, the use of appropriate new technologies and techniques, and the efficient layout of streets, utility networks and other public improvements; (3) Minimize impervious surfaces and effective impervious surfaces; (4) Encourage the creation or preservation of permanent forested open space; (5) Encourage development of residential environments that are harmonious with on-site and off- site natural and built environments; (6) Further the goals and the implementation of the policies of the comprehensive land use plan. 17.80.020-Applicability. This chapter shall apply to all new development in all zones within the Allyn and Belfair urban growth areas. These standards shall not apply to the construction of a single-family unit on a legal lot of record. These standards are in addition to other development regulations. If there are any conflicts between this chapter and other development regulations, the provisions of this chapter shall apply. 17.80.030- Design and development standards.
