Model Development Principles
Need to be adapted to meet unique conditions in your community
Will not apply to all developments
Act as benchmarks, but are not cookie cutters
Do not address infill and redevelopment
Need to be consistent with environmental and watershed plans
Notes:
The principles presented here are not strict guidelines. For example, street width decisions should be balanced with maintenance access, safety, and economic issues. Actual techniques for achieving the principle should be based on local conditions.
These are some of the caveats that watershed managers should keep in mind when applying the model development principles. Most importantly, the principles should be applied at a local level.
