Business Representation Well Represented Represented Not Present

We are proposing future development in Mt. Airy Forest, located in Cincinnati, Ohio. With Mt Airy’s extreme topography we took many factors into consideration in choosing a site. The site we chose has moderate slope, a low landslide risk, and an good existing above ground drainage system.

In the chart below we categorized existing amenities around Mt. Airy into well represented & represented. This also helps to determine what we would possible want to include in our future development.

Location Map

Determining the Site:

Selected Site

Our proposed road network follows a hierarchy system with arterial, collector, sub-collector, and local roads. Our road network is organic following the natural contours.

Above shows sections and plan views of roads, walk-ways, and trails to give a sense of scale of our develop-ment plan.

In our development we wanted to have as much walkabil-ity and connectivity as possible to promote community engagement and outdoor activities.

The land use of our site mainly consist of residen-tial, commercial, and green space. We wanted to give the residents their own space and also provide easy access to commercial and public facilities. The mixed use is located in our main commercial area at the center focus of the site.

The di�erent residential types include single family houses, apartments, and town houses. We attempted to arrange the residents in a way that most would have a good view of the valleys and/or the proposed parks.

The �gure ground diagram shows the relationship between space and the buildings. The sections show how we attempted to build on ridge lines and hill tops with �atter topography.

In our development of Mt. Airy one of our main goals was to try to preserve as many existing trees and natural environment as possible. The above vegetation map shows saved dense forested areas, green park spaces, and tree bu�ers.
