This document summarizes a neighborhood meeting regarding a proposed revitalization plan for Union Square in Somerville, MA. The meeting covered the community planning process, existing open spaces in the area, a civic space study conducted as part of the Coordinated Development Plan (CDP) review, and potential locations for a new neighborhood park. Key points included that over 25% of the development area will be civic space per the zoning, with a minimum 27,000 square foot neighborhood park required. Three potential park locations were investigated, with D1.2 emerging as the preferred site based on its central location and existing civic space context.

Logan Triangle Community Design Charrette Paul Vernon
Logan CDC, with a generous grant from the Philadelphia Foundation, is working to define a viable redevelopment strategy for the Logan Triangle. The redevelopment strategy focuses on a mixed-use approach including neighborhood retail, affordable housing, and medical offices; destination uses including retail, dining, health club/recreational use; and some flexible uses including church expansion, light industrial, and community open
space. The redevelopment program for this effort was established in a market study commissioned by the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority (PRA) and produced by AKRF to determine what this site can support.

- Compatibility with existing neighborhoods through building height transitions and design standards.
- Enhancement of Mount Jefferson Park and new open spaces.
- Focusing taller buildings near transit stops to maximize transit access.
- Improving streetscapes, adding new streets, and enhancing transportation options and connectivity for walking, biking and transit.
- Encouraging a mix of uses including retail, office, hotel and housing with a range of affordability levels.
The plan provides recommendations to implement this vision through zoning, design standards, transportation
OSU City Planning East Franklinton Final Presentation Condensedlundine
The document outlines 5 guiding principles and implementation strategies for redeveloping an area. The principles are: preserving history, creating a walkable neighborhood, becoming an urban green neighborhood, attracting artists/young professionals, and becoming a mixed-use/mixed-income area. Short term strategies include creating a community group, developing parks and green spaces, defining the neighborhood brand, and creating artist housing. Long term strategies involve street conversions, mixed-use development, utilizing large parcels for housing, and developing a north peninsula park.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
STORMWATER MITIGATION: METHODOLOGY
Take the square footage of each home Ex. 33’ x 43’ = 1419 square feet
Include the pitch of the roof Ex. 6rise 12Run = Average Pitch* (6-9 in)
Square each and add the two together Ex. 180
Take square root and divide by 12 Ex. 13.417/2 = 1.118 **
Use multiplier to determine roof square footage from home square footage
Ex. 1.18 x 1419 = 1586 square feet
Convert to cubic feet Ex. 1586 x .0833 = 132.11
Convert cubic feet to gallons Ex. 132.11 = 988.25 gallons
Multiply gallons by historical rainfall data Ex. 988.25 x 45.2 inches = 44,668 gallons
Averages create some error (average pitch and rainfall)
