Presented here are four different design options that range from what was viewed as undesirable ways to grow to more desirable land use scenarios. The plans represent prototypical development strategies for a neighborhood development. These ideas and strategies can be applied to this site as well as other developable sites within the county. • Weaknesses: • Still dominated by big-box commercial retailers • Little connectivity • Little variety of land uses B Greenspace C Single Family Residential Single Family Residential Example Site This site located east of Franklin has shown up in many of the previous development scenarios as an area that is likely to be developed. The site was examined as if it was a blank slate in order to provide examples and ideas for future development. A B Existing Site Analysis Driveways directly along Highway 100 create traffic congestion and safety concerns, as well as a poor sense of entry from the interstate into the city of Franklin. A Food Lion Illustrates the possible congestion and safety issues commercial development could generate along Highway 100. Drake’s Creek Single Family Residential • 158 acres • Close proximity to downtown, Drakes Creek, and I-65 • Four existing structures on site which include the new fire department and VFW on south west quadrant • Sinkhole and more wooded area east of 1008 • High traffic intersection Single Family Residential 1008 Examples of typical “big-box” commercial stores that would be common in this type of development. Option Two is more desirable than Option One because of the enhanced vegetative buffers, street trees, and greener parking lots. Open Space Sinkhole Farmland Existing Structures Neighborhoods in this area would be dominated by the automobile. A lack of sidewalks would result in low walkability and little connectivity between neighborhood and recreation areas. Wooded Area Larger homes would be typical in this neighborhood because of the increased lot size. This neighborhood has sidewalks but there are few connections to the commercial or recreation areas.
