| This axonometric view illustrates the Traditional Pattern study site essentially as it exists today. There are a total of 99 dwelling units on the study site which averages to 3300 dwelling units per kilometre (13.4 d.u./acre) of Traditional Pattern development. This pattern accomodates over three times more families than the Status Quo Pattern; smaller lots, taller buildings, and multiple dwelling units on many parcels are the reasons why. Alleys, shown as dashed right-of-ways between the back of lots, provide for car storage, service access for fire and utility, and absorb and direct storm run off. |
