: : Planning Caspar : :
Housing Along the Street

from Carey Knecht

Concept: Put the houses one after another along the street.

Pros: Closest to what actually exists along this road currently. The most non-suburban lot arrangement. Would give downtown more of a lively “village” feel. Would not require any additional road area or the cost of constructing it.

Cons: Would result in some tree removal. (We could restrict this to 10% of trees on lot.) A traffic calming plan for Caspar Rd. would be advisable before any children moved into these houses.

Considerations: You had indicated this wasn’t your favorite option. But given the modest house sizes and the other houses along Caspar Rd., I thought it might be worth reconsidering
