Moss Creek Site

Surrounding Land Use

Moss Creek Site is located beside Jefferson Road and Moss Side Drive. The site contains huge preserved forests with a lake that can potentially be used for recreational and residence area.

Surrounding area of Moss Creek Site, there are single family houses, medical offices, and public properties. The site can be used as residence areas with preserved forests.

Moss Creek Hydrology Inventory

From the analysis of this site, there are three main soil types. For the slope and elevation of this map, it gets steeper near the lake. But, there are many areas with flat slope that can be used as roads and residence area (pocket neighborhoods).

There are 75 feet buffer zone around the lake, which tells those area are off limits. Also, there are one existing stream that flows into the lake that are off limits.

Master Land Use

Site inventory and analysis of this site helped me how and where I should design the pocket neighborhoods. There are many spaces that are off limits for the design such as the buffer zone and steep slope area.

My goal of this design was to create senior community (pocket neighborhoods) with preserving forests while reducing the negative impact on environments by minimizing impervious surfaces.
