File 2006.18: Longview Farms Master Plan

Description:
Longview, a 15 year old subdivision with a historical heritage linked to old Longview Farms built in the early 1900's by R.A. Long. Although the subdivision was complete, the challenge was that there was no master plan in place. The job was to create a Master Plan and carry it forward.

Visualizations Produced:
First, an analysis of the existing conditions, topology, hydrology and utility were mapped and further analyzed. Next, an overlay of the new Master Plan was generated for the common areas, streetscapes and recreational areas. Finally, a Master Plan was developed that phased in the new infrastructure as well as replaced dated elements over an 8 year period.

The Master Plan was then used as a presentation tool to the community to raise the funding necessary to implement this plan. The community voted and approved an assessment fee that meets the budget requirements of the Master Plan.
