No. 97-96 Amended September 6, 2005, Downtown Master Pfau Street Cfassifirotions, Res. No. 183-05 Amended September 4, 2007, Res. No. 161.07 The Master Transportation Plan is the guiding policy that the community, City Staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council utilize to proactively guide decisions regarding street classification, design, location, form and function. The Master Transportation Plan prescribes and plans for the development of a multi -modal transportation system in the forrn of streets, sidewalks, bike Lanes, trails and transit. A multimodal transportation system is vital to growing a livable transportation network. Consistent planning ensures that streets wilt efficiently circulate traffic within the community and connect Fayetteville to the rest of the region. Special emphasis should be placed an multi -modal transportation infrastructure design, access management and traffic speed and volume considerations when planning streets. The Master Transportation Plan is updated on a five year basis in conjunction with City Plan 2030 in order to be adaptable to change over time. The Master Transportation Plan contains the Master Trails Plan and the Master Street Plan. Master Trails Plan The Fayetteville Alternative Transportation and Trails Master Plan (FAIT Plan), guides the development of trails in the City's expanding trail network. The Master Trail Plan Map illustrates future trail alignments and trail corridors for the purpose of acquiring easements and right-of-way. As development occurs adjacent to future trail alignments, careful attention will be paid to acquiring easements and providing site design input during the development review process_ The trail cross-sections that follow the Master Street Plan cross sections will be utilized for the construction of City trails. Trail surface materials may vary according to site considerations such as proximity to floodplains or floodways. Master Street Plan The Master Street Plan is comprised of a map illustrating the street classification and location, and a document of street cross sections showing the dimensional requirements of the street. In conjunction, these two documents are used to guide long range traffic planning through street function, design and location. The City supports context sensitive street design that acknowledges the function and use of the street in relation 10 current and future land use. The design and dimensions of streets that fall under the same functional classification may vary greatly due to the surrounding existing or future land uses and the function of the street. For instance, a low traffic 1216 www.acoessfarftwllk.arefgaveminentiplanningitfty_Pfaet_ZO30 EXHIBIT B speed collector in a neighborhood may have on -street parking while a higher traffic speed collector would have bike lanes. The City's access management and street connectivity policies provide the tools to guide the access and dispersal of traffic. Low Impart Development: The City encourages the use of Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater management strategies in street design and construction. Each of the street cross sections can be modified to incorporate LID best practices for stormwater management. Streets that include landscape strips or bump -outs are ideal for implementing LID strategies such as swales or infiltration basins. Developers and engineers should work closely with the City's Development Services Department to plan and design appropriate stormwater management strategies and structures. Public Transportation: The construction of bus benches, shelters and pull -offs is a critical part of a successful transportation system. However, the need for such facilities is ultimately determined by the transportation providers. Therefore, the City should consult with transportation providers prior to the design of any new street, or major street improvement project to determine if the need for new facilities exists. Streets in University of Arkansas Campus: The City of Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas will partner together in the planning, design and construction or reconstruction of streets located within the University of Arkansas campus area. These streets are identified on the map and within this document. Streets identified on the Master Street Plan Map and within the University of Arkansas boundary are intended to be reviewed concurrently with City and University staff prior to design. These streets should be consistent with the policies of the Master Street Plan, but may require alternative cross-sections due to physical constraints unique to the University. International Fire Code' The International Fire Code (IFC), which the State of Arkansas has adopted, requires a 20 -foot minimum of unobstructed width on all roads, which is reflected in the proposed street cross-sections. If structures on either side of the road exceed 30 feet or three stories, then the IFC requires a 26 -foot minimum of unobstructed width. This document recognizes that street cross-sections may be modified to meet the IFC requirements. The following street cross-sections are functionally classified in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Functional Classification Study Manual. In addition, the street cross-sections provide sensitivity to context by providing options for both suburban and urban developments and accommodating cyclists and low -impact devetopment neighborhoods. Additional utility easements will be required outside of the specified right-of-way on a project specific basis, as determined by the utility companies. EXHIBIT B 12.2.1 ALLEYS Alleys are used in conjunction with streets to provide rear access to properties, garages and off-street parking. Driveways connected to alleys should have sufficient depth to allow vehicles to park and not encroach into the alley right-of-way. Solid Waste Solid waste pick-up is allowed, subject to the following standards: - "No parking" signs are installed at the entrance(s) and mid -block locations. - Designated Locations for carts and recycle bins are kept free of obstructions. - Bulk hauling and brush collection is placed at the public street. - Building walls and projections are Located at least 10' from the edge of the alley pavement. To prevent encroachment into the right-of-way, additional separation may be required if parking is provided between the building and alley. - On -street parking is provided. - Address numbers are installed on the front and rear of every structure. - Minimum radius requirements are provided. • Dead-end alleys are prohibited. Fire Department Alleys used in conjunction with single- and two-family units are not intended to serve as fire access roads when structures also adjoin a private or public street that provides the required fire access. Fire access roads shall extend to within 150 feet of all portions of the facility and all portions of the exterior walls of the first story of the building as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. When an alley serves as the sole access, or when more than one access is required due to building height, condition of terrain, climatic conditions, the potential for impairment of a single road by vehicle congestion, or other factors that could limit access, alleys may need to be designed In accordance with the Arkansas Fire Code to support apparatus access, with approval from the fire code official_ '�C NAN 21130 1248 www.accessfayetteville.arg/government/planningiaty_Plan_2030 EXHIBIT B 1 a RESIDENTIAL REAR ALLEY: ONE-WAY Design Service Volume: Travel Lanes: Parking: Paved Width: Right of Way: Sidewalks: Greenspace: Curb cuts: 1 b RESIDENTIAL REAR Design Service Volume: Travel Lanes: Parking: Paved Width: Right of Way: Sidewalks: Greenspace: Curb cuts: a 200 vpd One 10' lane Not allowed within alley R.O.W. 12' from outer edge of concrete strip 20' None Both sides of alley, min. 4' wide, unencumbered Continuous access possible No curb required ALLEY: TWO-WAY < 200 vpd Two 7' lanes Not allowed within alley R.O.W. 16' from outer edge of concrete strip 20' None Both sides of alley, min. 2' wide, unencumbered Continuous access possible No curb required 4' GREEN - SPACE >♦i 4' GREEN - SPACE f I NO UTILITY IN 4' GREENSPACE JJ, CONCRETE 2' GREEN - SPACE 10' LANE 20, CONCRETE R.O.W. 2' GREEN - SPACE s .

They collect traffic from local or residential streets in neighborhoods and facilitate traffic movement into the arterial system. Connections between arterials should be direct in order to disperse traffic throughout the city. Collector streets vary in width and function as they respond to the context of the adjacent land uses. A minimum right-of-way of 59 feet shall be provided where a collector is depicted an the Master Street Plan with a 70 -foot right-of-way provided at intersections with other collectors, minor arterials and principal arterials. The intersection right-of-way must extend a minimum of 200 feet from the intersection. A 70 -foot right-of-way may be required if the volume or turning move- ments of traffic generated or predicted warrants a continuous turning Lane. All collectors have a moderate level of access management with curb cuts permitted every 100 feet. The City recognizes that the design of collector streets may vary depending upon the context of the existing and future land use in a particular area. The following three collector cross sections provide flexibility in context while utilizing a standard right-of-way and pavement width. This permits multiple configurations of an -street parking and bicycle facilities through different pavement markings and striping. The standard pavement width will enable the street to easily transform as land use intensity or density changes over time.
