The existing pond, stream corridor and
old farm fields adjacent to the river are
incorporated into a continuous greenway park that creates a clear visual edge
to the village and provides public trails
that connect to the future bike path.
Streetscape improvements, including new sidewalks, tree planting
and lighting, allow for continuous
pedestrian access and enhance the
aesthetic character of the village.
Mixed-use infill buildings allow for
expanded commercial activity adjacent to the existing mill complex. A
central park space creates an attractive campus feeling.
New apartment buildings extend the
character of the existing Lafayette Mill
complex. They take advantage of a site
hidden from existing village homes but
adjacent to the park and future bike path.
The existing large building on the
site is replaced by a cottage neighborhood, which provides apartment-like
densities with 22 small single family
and duplex homes.
Parking lots keep cars at the edge of
the cottage neighborhood, allowing
for more.
A protected stream corridor provides
a quiet natural edge for the village.
Each home has a private terrace facing the open space.
A community building faces a central
green, providing a visual and functional focus for the neighborhood.
