LIV 30.2 —Connect to Surrounding Neighborhoods Roadway and pedestrian connections are proposed to connect to the existing neighborhood to the west (Dry Creek) by road and trail. LIV 31.4 — Design for Pedestrian Activity The trail network encourages pedestrian use within the open space and along detached walks within the ROW. T 8.2 — Design for Active Living The trail access'within the open space promotes an active lifestyle. 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED OPEN SPACE, WETLANDS, NATURAL HABITATS AND FEATURES, LANDSCAPING, CIRCULATION, TRANSITION AREAS, AND ASSOCIATED BUFFERING ON SITE AND IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF THE PROJECT. The plan is designed to preserve all significant trees along the Lake Canal and enhance open space to the east of the residential lots, where habitat quality is most intact with pockets of riparian forest. Trail connections are provided through this area, comprising the eastern portion of a loop trail system throughout the neighborhood. Open space enhancements will include removal of non-native species, primarily Russian Olive trees and select understory shrubs. Spot seeding of disturbed areas with native vegetation and removal of debris will improve the overall condition as well. Visual buffering and transitional landscapes with a mix of confers and deciduous trees occur to some extent along all property edges, and are most critical at the north edge of the property, where it is adjacent to a railroad owned parcel. Open space and intensive landscaping is envisioned at the entry to the project, where a parkway, like entn drive and median help create an inviting entry and immersive landscape. The entry road intersects with a central commons for the small lot/alley loaded units, arranged in a courtyard style community layout. Throughout the project, 90% of all lots front the open space network, creating a sense of community through shared open sDace connections. 3. MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AREAS In general, the property owner or tenant shall perform all maintenance on private residential lots. In addition, the property owner, or tenant shall maintain all sidewalks and landscaped parkways within the ROW, according to the width of the property.

Site Area Information Residential Area: 788,615 SF (18.1 AC) Right -of -Way Area: 116,548 SF (2.7 AC) Parking and Drive Area: 220,266 SF (5.1 AC) Landscape Area (turf, shrub & seed areas): 483,092 SF (11.1 AC) Dwelling Units: 168 Gross Area: 1,707,169 SF (39.19 AC) Gross Density: 4.28 DU/AC Timbervine Description Timbervine is accessed from International Boulevard off of Timberline Road. A new access road will be built to the north of International Boulevard. Access from Mackinac Street provides a connection from the existing Dry Creek Neighborhood west of Timbervine. The overall layout of Timbervine is based on a framework of open space connections, including a 50' buffer from the Lake Canal that runs long the east side of the site. The pedestrian walkways provide three major open space trail connections to a perimeter loop trail which connects to a planned future trail connection along Lake Canal and a neighborhood park approximately one acre in size. Roadway character will emphasize street trees within lawn parkways separating the street from the pedestrian walk. Street trees along the primary roadway will consist of canopy shade trees. The roads are shown with a 53' ROW with detached walks, roll-over curb and 30' roadway per LUCASS standards. Storm -water drainage will be directed to the south through bio swale water quality features, then into detention ponds located at the south edge of the site. Permeable pavement will be utilized for additional water quality within the flowline of the private drives/alleys. The Single Family residences are comprised of small and medium lots. The site will contain 122 Single Family Detached - Front Load units with 24 Single Family Detached - Rear Load units. The 22 Single Family Attached dwelling units are sited to take advantage of the open space and neighborhood park to the south east. Direct access is provided to trails and the park/neighborhood trail system. A private drive/alley provides access to the rear loaded garages. The Single Family Attached Lots range from small (0-4,999 sf — 128 units) to medium (5,000-8,999 sf — 40 units) Architecture will emphasize a variation on a craftsman style emphasizing large eaves and overhangs, dominant porches/entries, detailing such as corbels and brackets and roofline articulation. Phasing for the project: Phase One will be completed during the spring of 2015 and Phase Two and Three during the spring of 2016.
