1 N HIGHWAY OFF RAMP 2.5 Roads A legible road network with a clear hierarchy will help create a connected community, both within and surrounding the Milton Heights. The following section outlines the proposed hierarchy, treatment and alignment of the Milton Heights movement network. Highway 401 Highway 401 forms the northern boundary of the community. A new major highway interchange with New Tremaine Road and Highway 401 will be developed. A new landscape buffer shall be incorporated along the southern edge of Highway 401 outside of the required Ministry of Transport Ontario setback. Loading and service areas adjacent to Highway 401 should be screened through architectural walls and/or landscape buffer planting.

2 N Arterial Roads The arterial roads within Milton Heights includes New Tremaine Road and Steeles Avenue West. New Tremaine Road will be the major north - south route through the community and will connect to Steeles Avenue to the south and Highway 401 to the north. New Tremaine Road will serve as both The Town of Milton s and Milton Height s Gateway Road. New Tremaine Road will provide a variety of visual experiences, ranging from clear views of the open space, Niagara Escarpment and streetscape of the Milton Heights Community. 4.5m WALKWAY BLOCK Flankage Built Form Condition Laneway Other variety of streetscape conditions such as views of natural features and a variety of built form configurations and uses, will create a visually interesting streetscape for New Tremaine Road. Laneway Homes Flanking New Tremaine Road Design Guidelines for arterial roads include: Pedestrian scale lighting complimentary to the character of the community should be provided to create safety and comfort along the streetscape; Provide street trees on both sides of the streets; STREET E 14.0m MTO BUFFER BLOCK NEW TREMAINE ROAD Window Street homes 14m MTO Buffer Block - with buffer landscape planting.

4 Character Roads The Sherwood Survey Secondary Plan identifies Character Roads as providing unique and attractive environments because they exhibit a range of characteristics including some or all of the following: Concentration of mature, existing trees and other vegetation; and/or Concentration of character buildings; and/or Close proximity to the Niagara Escarpment; and/or Rural cross-section and non-standard road pavement width. The Sherwood Survey Secondary Plan classifies the following roads within Milton Heights as Character Roads: No. 3 Side Road (between existing Tremaine Road and New Tremaine Road), The existing Tremaine Road, No. 3 Side Road Design Guidelines Particular design guidance will be provided for the No. 3 Side Road which is identified below; Maintain a 24.0m right-of-way collector road (between the existing Tremaine Road and New Tremaine Road); Provide a continuous row of canopy street trees within the boulevard on both sides of the road; Provide a 1.5m sidewalk on both sides of the road; and Provide on-street parking on one side of the road in accordance with zoning by-laws; No. 3 Side Road will be developed as a Village Main Street in line with the guidance provided in the Official Plan Garage and parking for these units will be located in the rear yard and shared driveways to common parking areas, where possible, are encouraged. Steeles Avenue (east of Peru Road), and Peru Road (south of the Sixteen Mile Creek) New development will be sensitive to the existing character buildings located on Third Road between Milton Heights Crescent and Tremaine Road. This will be achieved through a sensitive approach to massing, building heights, setbacks and landscaped open space. Figure 12 - No. 3 Side Road 24m R.O.W. Example of traditional village main street complete with live/work, on-street parking and varying setbacks. Milton Heights Urban Design Guidelines 23

5 2.6 Gateways Collector Road No. 3 Side Road (East of New Tremaine) and Peru Road (north of Sixteen Mile Creek) are collector roads. Peru Road will provide access from the existing Industrial and Proposed Business Park Areas to New Tremaine Road. Collector Roads shall be designed in accordance to Town of Milton Standards. Neighbourhood Connector Road A neighbourhood connector road connects existing Tremaine Road to east of New Tremaine Road south of No. 3 Side Road (See Figure 6). The neighbourhood connector road shall: Provide a continuous row of canopy street trees and a 1.5m sidewalk along both sides of the road; and Have 20.0m right-of-way with 1.5m sidewalks on both sides of the road (as per the Town of Milton Standard Cross section). Local Roads Local roads connect to higher-order roads and community destinations such as parks, ponds and valleys. Local roads shall Maintain a 16.0m right-of-way with at least a sidewalk on one side; Provide a continuous row of canopy street trees on both sides of the road; and Create a well-connected pattern of short blocks for good connectivity and pedestrian scale. Gateway locations create a sense of arrival at key locations within the community. Gateways can be expressed through lot type, built form and landscape features. Whilst gateways require special treatment, the use of materials and colours should be coordinated throughout and integrated within each Neighbourhood Character Area. Primary Gateways The Primary Gateway will be located at the intersections of New Tremaine Road and Highway 401. This primary Gateway shall identify and establish a sense of arrival to Milton Heights and the Town of Milton. The gateway location will be created through a combination of hard and soft landscape elements and built form addressing Highway 401. A significant gateway feature is recommended at this location that celebrates the area s past and reflects the character of the new community. High quality development and enhanced landscaping in this area should provide visitors and residents a sense of arrival to this special community. The design for the New Tremaine bridge over Highway 401, will be subject to MTO and Town of Milton Standards. New Tremaine Road will be the Gateway Street. Laneway homes, window streets or flankage lots may be located in conjunction with New Tremaine Road. Neighbourhood Gateways (Secondary Gateways) Neighbourhood Gateways will be located at the intersections of No. 3 Side Road and New Tremaine Road; New Tremaine Road and the designated connector road; and Entrance into Peru Road on Steeles Ave. 24 Revised - November 2015

6 ST. R Neighbourhood gateways may be located where arterial, collector and neighbourhood connector roads intersect. They announce the arrival into residential and commercial areas and should convey a sense of place and entry through structural and landscape design elements used in the Primary Gateway treatment at a smaller scale. Design Guidelines for Neighbourhood Gateways include: STREET C STREET D STREET A MILTON HEIGHTS CRESCENT No. 3 SIDE RD STREET E STREET G STREET F STREET A STREET H STREET E STREET E ST.

7 2.7 Open Space Plan A strong open space and green network which protects and enhances the existing open spaces and environmental features is proposed for Milton Heights. The range of open spaces and amenities includes the following: The existing valley lands; Watercourse and environmental areas; Community Park; Village Squares; Parkland area and open space; Greenlands area; Drainage Corridor; Stormwater Management Ponds; Landscape buffer zones; and Pathways. This complete network creates green corridors within and surrounding Milton Heights which support the local ecology and biodiversity of the Milton Heights. The following are open space goals and objectives for Milton Heights: Open space amenities will be coordinated to create a connected and accessible network through the community; Existing natural heritage and environmentally sensitive areas will be preserved to help create an attractive green community; Buffer Zones will protect environmentally sensitive areas. Existing natural heritage and will provide further separation between incompatible uses including residential areas, industrial areas, and railway corridors; A Community Park will be located east of New Tremaine Road and will provide new and existing residents and/or outdoor recreational facilities which provides opportunity for all season outdoor activities for the community; Village Squares will be centrally located in the north and south communities, between existing and proposed residential areas to provide create a new central focus for both communities; and Stormwater Management Ponds should be considered part of the open space system. They can be incorporated or have a physical or visual connection and design integration to other open space amenities. 26 Revised - November 2015

9 2.8 Trails Plan The proposed trail network at Milton Heights provides a comprehensive and legible multi-use movement network throughout the community, which encourages walking and cycling and therefore helps contribute to a healthy community. The trails plan will be included in the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) in accordance with the Engineering and Parks Standards Manual. The proposed Figure 10 Trails Plan is conceptual in nature and will be adjusted to reflect the natural heritage system and road patterns, as refined through individual plans of subdivision. Objectives of the Trail Network: Orient the trail network to provide views of the escarpment where possible; Create internal and external linkages with Milton Heights and surrounding neighbourhoods; and Create legible and strong trails network which connects neighbourhood features. Pedestrian Movement Sidewalks should be provided on all streets in order to create a cohesive pedestrian network within the community. Where appropriate, street trees should be provided as per municipal requirements to provide pedestrian comfort and shade as well as improving the overall quality of the public realm. Clear footpaths connections will be provided through private land which will ensure that there are continuous guided pedestrian connections. There is potential for future trail connections into the greenlands area and along the Sixteen Mile Creek as well as the parks, ponds and surrounding valley lands. A trail system connected through the greenlands will provide multiple access points throughout the community. Proposed trails through stormwater management buffer blocks will comply with engineering requirements. Proposed trails through environmental buffer blocks are to be to the satisfaction of the Town and Conservation Halton. Cycling Network Designated cycling lanes will be provided on Steeles Ave West, Peru Road, No. 3 Side Road and New Tremaine Road which will provide safe cycling access throughout Milton Heights and the surrounds. The Trails and Cycling Master Plan and Engineering and Parks Standards Manual provides guidelines and standards for trail width, material, routes and objectives. An attractive and connected trails network encourages pedestrian movement and an active, healthy community. 28 Revised - November 2015

11 2.9 Buffers Buffer blocks provide environmental areas and greenspace features, protection and distance from development. Buffer blocks are included within the Milton Heights Community to serve a number of purposes. They include environmental buffer blocks, stormwater management buffer blocks, acoustic buffer blocks, railway buffer blocks, landscape buffer along Highway 401. Noise from industrial uses and other sources will be addressed in accordance with the recommendations of an approved Noise Impact Study and MOE guidelines and requirements. Design Guidelines for Buffer Blocks Include: Environmental Buffer Blocks Provide a 15m Buffer along environmental areas (in some cases these can be 10m) subject to the satisfaction of Conservation Halton; Landscape zones along local roads should contain one street tree in front of each dwelling either on lot or within the street R.O.W, or as outlined in the municipal standards; Landscape zones should contain significant plant material, incorporate landform, and be effective in all seasons; Perimeter landscaping should be designed to screen views to parking and service areas from roadways while maintaining views of buildings; and Plantings should be appropriate to the Niagara Escarpment setting. Invasive species should not be used. Acoustic Buffer Blocks As outlined in the Environmental Noise Feasibility Assessment by Valcoustics, a sound barrier/earthen berm on the east side of New Tremaine Road and the commercial buildings at the northwest corner of New Tremaine Road and No. 3 Side Road will be constructed on the as part of noise mitigation which is subject to a detailed noise impact study once final site grading and dwelling sitings are available. Stormwater Management Buffer Blocks Provide a 7.5m set-back channel buffer along the realigned water course. Railway Buffer Blocks As per the Environmental Noise Feasibility Assessment, sound barriers are required for lots closest to the railway line and involves a continuous berm-fence combination within the Canadian Pacific Railway buffer block adjacent to the railway with approximate height of 6.5m. The sound barrier includes an acoustic fence at a maximum of 2.4m in height with a small berm or other grading feature providing additional height where required. The exception will be the continuous sound barrier the CPR buffer block where a 3.5m earth berm with 3.0m tall acoustic fence atop the berm is proposed. Landscape Buffer Adjacent to 401 Provide a landscape zone along Highway 401 using a combination of deciduous and high branching canopy trees that offer seasonal interest. Typically, evergreen trees are used or vegetation/wooded areas with a layered vegetation structure; Plantings along Highway 401 should address noise, dust, snow drifting and salt spray requirements; and Residential dwellings flanking onto Highway 401 should be buffered using an ornamental landscape edge with an acoustic fence with masonry accents that reinforce the character/details/materials of the community entry features. A minimum 4.0m walkway buffer area will be provided to access the front doors of these homes. See Appendix A to D for reference. 30 Revised - November 2015

13 2.10 Approach to Public Realm High quality public realm is critical to creating a successful and healthy community. At Milton Heights the public realm includes the following: The Community Park; Village Squares; Stormwater Management Ponds; Valley/ Watercourse; Recreational Trails; Gateways and Edges; and Street Furnishings. Design Guidelines for the public realm is outlined below: Create clear gateway entrances into the community through landscape and architectural treatment; Street trees help create an attractive public realm as well as help provide protection against the elements to pedestrians Create a connected, pleasant and safe pedestrian and cycling network, with street tree planting to provide protection against the elements; Ensure development blocks are of a walkable scale with regular breaks in the built form to improve the pedestrian experience and visual appearance; There should be a consistent approach to streetscaping throughout the community to create a strong community identity. Streetscaping elements include planting, paving, fencing, lighting and signage; Open spaces should be central to the whole community; and Create a safe pedestrian environment with street lighting and ensure public open spaces conform to CPTED standards with eyes on the street. Parks and open spaces should be overlooked to help create safe environments, and should be located centrally to serve the community. 32 Revised - November 2015 Parks and open spaces should be well lit to improve users safety.

14 2.11 Community Park The central location of the Community Park ensures that is accessible to all of Milton Heights. The Community Park is centrally located and within 15 minutes walk of all residential neighbourhoods. The Design Principles of the Community Park are outlined below: The Community Park shall be located within the lands that are south of No. 3 Side Road, and east of New Tremaine Road in order to provide amenity space for the wider community as a whole, and shall be consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Secondary Plan; The Community Park shall have significant frontage and access from a Peru road and should have a convenient access off of the internal community street network; Trees will be planted at a distance to ensure that views are obtained into and out of the park from the street; and Future opportunities should be available to provide trail connections from the Community Park to Sixteen Mile Creek and the Greenlands to the south. The location and configuration of the Community Park in the Milton Heights Neighbourhood shall be further refined when the plans of subdivision are prepared. Figure 17 - Vignette of Community Park Milton Heights Urban Design Guidelines 33

15 2.12 Village Squares There are two village squares proposed within the Milton Heights Community. They are located strategically in order to create transition areas between the proposed new development and the existing residential in the north and the proposed community and the natural heritage features in the south. VS VS N Figure 18 - Village Square Key Plan The proposed village squares will be the community focus. 34 Revised - November 2015

16 North Village Square The north Village Square is located at the intersection of Milton Heights Crescent/Street B and Street G. The majority of homes in the northern half of Milton Heights are within 5 minutes walking distance of the northern residential community. The square will provide an appropriate transition between the condominium laneway townhouses to the north and east and the existing Milton Heights Community to the west and south; The entrance of the northern Village Square is in the south west corner opposite the existing Milton Heights residencies. This location will help integrate the existing and proposed residential areas and allow for chance meetings to help create a cohesive community; and The condominium laneway single detached homes will front onto and address the Village Square providing a continuous frontage onto the Village Square.

19 2.14 Stormwater Management Ponds Stormwater management ponds (SWM) provide an important role moderating storm water flow and water flow for the community. They also provides an additional open space amenity for the community and are a key part of the wider green network at Milton Heights. Design Guidelines Include: Stormwater management ponds should be located adjacent to open space features such as the watercourse channel and other environmental land areas to provide continuous green connections. See Figure 14 - Open Space Plan for Stormwater Pond locations; The stormwater ponds should be designed in an organic and natural shape with gentle slopes in order to help create a more natural environment; Where possible stormwater ponds should be located at the end of a view corridor; Trails should connect to the stormwater ponds and along any water channels to create a comprehensive pedestrian and cycling connection where appropriate; Coordinate an edge treatment that appropriately addresses the transition between the stormwater management pond and the abutting street edge; Incorporate a pedestrian look-out and/or point of interest through the coordination of landscape design and architectural elements; Incorporate arranged naturalized planting along the edges of the pond in accordance with Conservation Halton Guidelines and to the satisfaction of the Town; Provide safety railings or fencing where required; Provide a 1.5m high black vinyl chain link fence with landscaping along lot lines adjacent to residential use; Fencing and safety railings are to be in accordance with Town standards; and Provide a minimum 7.5m landscape buffer block along stormwater management ponds perimeter from development. Stormwater Management Ponds can provide important amenity spaces. 38 Revised - November 2015

20 2.15 Valleys The existing valley of the Sixteen Mile Creek which flows east - west through the central Greenlands within the Community is a significant natural feature that creates scenic view corridors along local roads and enhances the community character. In accordance with planning policies, Sixteen Mile Creek will be preserved to protect the environmental features. As well as buffer blocks which provide appropriate setbacks to environmental hazards. These buffer blocks provide opportunities for recreational trails. Design Guidelines Include: The road network should be aligned to provide views into the valleylands; Valley crossings may be provided where appropriate along arterial and local roads; Stormwater management ponds should be designed as natural extensions of the valley; and Where appropriate future trail connections into the trail network should be provided to create a comprehensive pedestrian and cycling network within Milton Heights The Sixteen Mile Creek is a key landscape feature within Milton Heights Figure 22 - Concept plan illustrating a valley crossing along New Tremaine Road. Milton Heights Urban Design Guidelines 39

21 2.16 Street Furnishing and Fencing The design and location of street furniture can have a significant impact on the quality and appearance of the public realm. Street furnishings include seating benches, signage, mailboxes, transit stops, waste receptacles, bicycle racks, newspaper bins, utility structures, light fixtures, planters and fencing. Example of secondary gateway residential built form with a strong front porch, de-emphasized garage feature. There will be a range in the design and approach to street furniture in order to ensure they enhance their location. In locations adjacent to and near to the Niagara Escarpment, the elements selected will have a subtle style to compliment the surrounding rural heritage. As development transitions and density increases, it is appropriate for street furniture design to be of a more urban style. Above grade utility structures include hydro metres, telephone and cable boxes. Within the public rights-of-way, above ground utility will be in accordance with Engineering standards. Refer to Architectural Design Guidelines for utilities within the private realm. Street Lighting A consistent design approach to street fixtures, poles and signs should be applied which is in keeping with the other streetscape elements. This will assist in creating a strong community identity. Example of secondary gateways for residential areas with a strong front porch, de-emphasized garage and gateway signage feature. Location of street lights on Town-owned roads is to be in accordance with Town standards outlined in the Engineering and Park Standards Manual. Park and trail lighting are determined at the design stage in accordance with Town standards and policies. Example of secondary gateway on commercial areas with architecture and hard and soft landscaping. Example of traditional street lighting 40 Revised - November 2015

22 Transit Stops All transit stops, shelters, trash receptacles and newspaper stands will be in accordance with the Town s Transit Plan and Town standards and are subject to Town approvals. There should be legible and safe pedestrian linkages to transit stops and benches should be provided where appropriate Community Mailboxes Community Mailboxes in the public realm are typically located within the public right-of-way. Mailboxes should be surrounded by soft landscaping features to frame the location. Planting should be durable to withstand heavy footfall. See page 52 for information regarding Community Mailboxes within condominium development. Fencing A consistent approach and use of colour and materials for fencing, which is complimentary to the other streetscape elements is important in creating a community identity. Fencing design guidance is outlined below; Screen rear yard amenity areas on corner/ flankage lot conditions; Provide a decorative wood fence along the exposed lot line that is complementary to the building design and appropriate to the existing residential community in transition areas; Provide a 1.5m black chain link fence between all public and private lands; Provide an acoustic fence along the rear/side lot line where residential units back/flank onto Highway 401 and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Acoustic fencing is to be provided in accordance with the noise reports and Town standards; Trees should be planted to screen the visual prominence of large acoustic fences from public view; and All fencing must be in accordance with Town standards and zoning regulations. Example of mailbox with soft landscaping within the public right-of-way. Example of vegetation to screen acoustic fence from public view. Milton Heights Urban Design Guidelines 41
