Edmondson Park South DCP 2012 November 2012 3.0 Urban Structure and Public Domain The public domain is the part of Edmondson Park South which is not privately owned, and is accessible to the public. The design, management and safety of elements within the public domain such as public streets, parks and spaces, paving, street furniture, street trees, and gardens should be coordinated so that the character and image of the location and its environmental and cultural values are protected and enhanced. 3.1 Street Network Objectives 1. To provide for the safe and efficient circulation of pedestrians, bicycles and motor traffic and on street parking requirements. 2. To provide an attractive and safe urban streetscape environment. 3. To provide a hierarchy of streets with good connectivity and minimal use of cul-de-sacs that utilises features and landmarks to enhance wayfinding for pedestrians, buses, private vehicles. 4. To encourage less motor vehicle use by enhancing pedestrian and cycle connections to the station, Town Centre, schools and parks. 5. To encourage cycling throughout Edmondson Park South. Controls 1. The street network is to be provided generally in accordance with Figure 6 and Table 4 below. Where any variation to the residential street network is proposed, the alternative street network is to be designed to achieve the objectives. 2. Street design is to be in accordance with the indicative street cross sections at Figures 7 - 16. Alternative street designs may be permitted on a case by case basis if they preserve the functional objectives and requirements of the design standards. 3. All subdivision DAs are to specify the street hierarchy and indicate the various street types and intersection treatments. 4. No vehicular access to residential properties is permitted directly from Campbelltown Road or Macdonald Road. Access to these lots will be from a service road or laneway. 5. Cul-de-sacs or mews may be included only in limited and appropriate circumstances where the applicant can demonstrate that street network objectives are satisfied. 6. The design of the local street network is to: a) establish a grid-Iike street network pattern to facilitate walking and cycling and enable direct local vehicle trips, b) create a safe environment for walking and cycling with safe crossing points, c) encourage a low-speed traffic environment, d) optimise solar access opportunities for dwellings, e) take account of topography and view lines, f) provide frontage to and maximise surveillance of open space and riparian corridors, g) facilitate wayfinding and place making opportunities by taking into account streetscape features, adjacent built form controls, artwork and provision for small open spaces and pocket parks, and h) retain existing trees, where appropriate, within the road reserve. 7. Footpaths are to be provided consistent with the street sections (Figures 7 - 16) and on both sides of all streets within the Town Centre, urban residential streets and along key pedestrian routes in suburban streets. Elsewhere footpaths are to be provided on at least one side and on both sides where pedestrian or vehicular traffic is high. 8. On street parallel parking is to be provided consistent with the street sections (Figures 7 – 16). Subdivision Development Applications are to demonstrate that lots with frontages less than 10m have reasonable street parking. 9. On street bicycle facilities are to be provided in accordance with the street sections (Figures 7 – 16). 16
Edmondson Park South DCP 2012 November 2012 10. Streets adjacent to conservation areas and other open space / riparian corridors are to be designed to facilitate pedestrian and cycle movements whilst allowing for incidental surveillance along the bushland / open space fringe. Appropriate night lighting may be required in key locations to improve safety and security. APZ requirements to be accommodated as relevant. 11. Street layout and design is to consider opportunities for the retention of existing significant trees within the road reserve where possible. Trees may be incorporated with small, informal spaces that provide opportunities for 'greening the street' and passive recreation and meeting points. A Tree Management Plan will be prepared by a suitably qualified person with the relevant tree protection measures to minimise any potential impacts on the trees to be retained.
