Youngsville Hwy (LA Hwy 89) Youngsville Hwy (LA Hwy 89) Project Summary & Site Context Evangelline Hwy (US 90) La Neuville Road BROUSSARD SITE Albertson Parkway Albertson Parkway Cote Gelee Development, L.L.C. (CGD) has acquired 8 6 7 5 4 2 a 34 acre tract of land in Broussard, LA. The project is appropriately named Ville de Côte Gelée after the original 3 1 name given to the area by its first settlers. Located on Albertson s Parkway and Highway 89 the property is situated at a prime intersection within proximity to several proposed new roadways and other land developments. The concept for the development is to create a town center with a mixture of activity generating a pedestrian bustle both day and night. The community will revolve around a central core of mixed-use buildings. The development emanates from this center with a blend of housing types from zero-lot houses, to courtyard style groupings, to single family houses on traditional lots. The arrangement of each of these programmatic pieces brings life to the community. 2 Ville de Côte Gelée

Design Highlights Mix of uses (commercial and residential) as well as varied single family home typologies (large lot neighborhood, small lot single and courtyard developments). Commercial spaces encourage on-street parking and pedestrian traffic. Use of centrally located roundabouts as an identifier of destination. Activation of the street edge through buildings which are set close to the street with inviting front porches, stoops or balconies. Courtyard developments promote high density, smaller residential units and encourage interaction of residents through the shared common space and a central courtyard. The creation and interlocking of green spaces and courtyards promotes personal interaction and community gathering. Variety of homebuilders/house styles which insures that no homebuilder is allowed to build the same model or style of house side by side, and must have a five unit separation between identical plans. Sustainable Living COMMUNITY Solar power for community spaces Site integrated bioswales filter stormwater runoff Interconnection of pedestrian links, paths, landscaped open spaces and courtyards to promote walking, biking and rollerblading Conservation of existing wooded / natural areas Integration of porous sidewalks to reduce water runoff HOME SITES All homes must meet the U.S. Government s Energy Star Program for Energy Efficiencies Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Developments (LEED-ND) Automatic irrigation systems combined with drip irrigation systems Drought tolerant native landscaping Rainwater collected in cisterns for residential yard irrigation use Low-flow fixtures Energy star appliances and lighting fixtures Energy efficient heating and cooling systems High-efficiency windows Encourage solar water heaters and/or in-line water heaters Encourage photovoltaic power generation systems in housing designs Architectural Guidelines 5 6 Building Typology COURTYARD DEVELOPMENT 120 20 x40 COMMUNITY BUILDING 20 10 20 10 20 10 20 10 20 PRIVATE GARDENS 30 90 20 8 20 x20 GARAGE ALT.
