Pedestrian Features — As Area A develops, the City should establish either paved shoulders or off—road paths for pedestrians and bicyclists along County Road 30, Waco Street, Orono Road, and Highway 10. The planned street leading r from Orono Park to County Road 30 should have sidewalks. A thirty— to sixty—foot—wide pedestrian access to the riverfront park should be obtained just south of Boston Street (although motorized access should be C_ planned only from the eastern end of the park because of poor soil con— ditions in this vicinity.) r Public Landscaping A formal pattern of overstory deciduous trees should be planted along Waco Street, County Road 30, Orono Road, and Highway 10 through Area A. Special landscaping emphasis should be given to the pedestrian connection between Orono Park and the proposed Mississippi River park. Separating Incompatible Land Uses One of the most important elements to the overall success of Area A will be the separation of the industrial or commercial developments from housing. This should be accomplished as follows: • Follow the plan for land use and circulation illustrated by the Land I Use and Circulation Plan: Area A, Figure 4, which separates the 1. two types of traffic. r I L • Observe the guidelines for non—residential site planning described above. rr L- • Amend the Zoning Ordinance to require (in the commercial or industrial zones which abut residential zones) that parking lots or truck maneuvering areas be set back at least 30 feet from that dividing line. Ideally, parking lots or truck maneuvering or —u, docking areas should be on the opposite side of the building from residential properties (use site plan review). i 48 i'1
