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