ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCES 1. G0al Protect remalmng archeologlcal resources 2. Strategy Steps should be taken to ensure that important remains and artifacts are not d~sturbed whenever possible in some instances, mitigation may be achieved simply through documentatl°n rather than complete preservation The presence of archaeological remains and artifacts may not necessarily prevent development of a site Section 15The Street The "Street" can be defined as the most important, endnnng pubhc space that determines our urban environment The "Street" should be comfortable and enjoyable, as well as provide efficient movement of people and goods · The "Street" is the single largest public space in the City and should be acknowledged on that level · The street should complement the distinctive character of the neighborhood or district while providing connections to adjoining neighborhoods · Formation of the Street will include prescriptive standards, whmh specify exactly how a facility is to be built and performance standards that describe the objectives a

Denton on regional taps or ~nto Denton from outlying areas The largest single issue we face ~s reducmg the need to continually expand the Transportatton Roadway System The best available solution is to embrace dense, more compact development such as the Urban Village concept where taps are satisfied internally using Multi-Modal Transportatton Modes L Street Development Streets are generally

Utilities in the Street and Alley All utihty systems will be designed w~th the original subdivision so that they can be constructed prior to placing the paving course on the street or alley A. NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS The neighborhood centers subdivisions will have alleys Alleys allow the design of "WET" utlhtles under the street and "DRY" utllltaes under the alley Utthttes are not to be placed in the reserved land- scape or planting area All utthtxes, other than transmission and feeder hnes, will be underground 1.

Special Lot Conditions Large lot d~stncts and neighborhoods will have all utihtles In the front right-of-way The WET uttht~es will be placed hke the small lot blocks and neighborhoods The DRY Utdlt~es would be placed m a duct bank (with expansxon room) under the sidewalk opposite the gas line Service lines will be consolidated as much as possible to maximize the area where undisturbed landscaping and aesthetic improvements occur All utthtles, other than transmission and feeder hnes, will be under- ground C 'aMy Documents\ComprehenstvePlnn~Pubh¢ Revlow Edison [] Dratt De June 22 1999 Public Re~ie~s Edition B COMMERCIAL/MIXED USE CENTER COLLECTOR Utthtles m the Collector Street right-of-way will be placed as described m the large lot district or neigh- borhood o1~ Residential Streets Utilities are not to be placed m the landscape or planting area All. utilities, other than transmission and feeder lines, will be underground C.
