(Image source:Randall Arendt) <br /> ➢ Integrate open space into the built environment in a meaningful way. <br /> • Work with the Carolina Thread Trail,the City of Charlotte,Mecklenburg County,private property <br /> owners,developers, and local park and recreation departments to design the planned Mallard Creek <br /> Greenway in a manner that orients development toward the trail. <br /> o Encourage the other TOD:Trail-Oriented Development. In this TOD,development is oriented <br /> toward the greenway,much like a positive relationship of buildings to a street. Create a positive edge, <br /> as development"embraces"the corridor and the greenway and connecting trails provide access to <br /> points of interest or destinations along the route.The trail corridor should join,not separate,the <br /> northern and southern portions of the study area. <br /> • Modify standards for required open space. <br /> • Locate it to bring open space to the"front door"of the development as well as the structures within, <br /> affording the occupants direct physical and visual access to nature. <br /> • Allow improvements to natural areas so that such open space can be utilized for passive recreation,but <br /> set forth accepted methods for improving these areas for access to avoid unintended impacts. For <br /> example,make available an appropriate boardwalk design detail for use in environmentally sensitive <br /> areas. <br /> ToIr1NHA+l6$ 6w-01 r4, <br /> e�No <br /> "TawNHaNES� .....
