STREET INFRASTRUCTURE PLANS

C.1: - GENERAL

The primary goal of the Street Infrastructure Plans is to create a connected street network which offers safe and convenient access for all users (pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers and transit riders) of all ages and abilities.

The following pages outline street standards that promote a complete street system by tailoring street design to its intended users and development context. This is done via the following diagrams:

Parkways accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists through a multi-use path located on any one side of the street which is fronted by a park/natural space. Where right-of-way is sufficient, Parkways provide parallel parking on both sides of the street. If the right-of-way is constrained, parallel parking is required on one side of the street only, preferably on the side of the street with fronting development. A sidewalk/multi-use path may not be required on the park side.

Specific Applicability	See Street Regulating Plan


C.5.7	Neighborhood St. 1—General (NS1: 50 ft—62 ft)
Description	Type 1 Neighborhood Streets are the most common urban street type in Beaufort. These versatile streets are typically unmarked in residential neighborhoods to allow for informal parking, but can be striped with bike lanes and/or a lane of on-street parking as necessary in more urban situations. As Beaufort's neighborhoods begin to fill in and intensify over time, this street type with its formal curbs and sidewalks may be applied as the logical next step in urbanization from Low Impact Development roads with their open swale drainage.
Curb Type	Curb
Right-of-Way Width	50 to 62 feet
Traffic Lanes (Pavement Width)	2 lanes (30 to 36 feet total) - Marked or Unmarked
Movement (Design Speed)	Slow (25 MPH)

The traveled way for cars is slightly narrower than a Type 1 Neighborhood Street, calming traffic and allowing for a yield flow of cars between vehicles parked on the street.
Curb Type	None
Right-of-Way Width	40 to 50 feet
Traffic Lanes (Pavement Width)	2 lanes (24 feet total) - Unmarked
Movement (Design Speed)	Yield Flow (25 MPH)

Planter Type (Width)	Planting strip (5 to 7 feet)
Street Trees	40 feet on-center typical but can vary to accommodate existing trees where possible
Specific Applicability	See Street Regulating Plan
* In the Historic District sidewalks should only be constructed as needed.


C.5.9	Neighborhood St. 3—Lane (NS3: 38 ft—46 ft)
Description	Type 3 Neighborhood Streets are small residential lanes intended to provide direct access to the front of a limited number of single-family structures. This street type should be used in situations where the right-of-way is too constrained for other typical street types, and is ideally paired with a Rear Lane that provides off-street parking access to the rear of lots.

Specific Applicability	See Street Regulating Plan


C.5.10	Low Impact Development Rd. (LID: 38 ft +)
> Description	In areas where a formal curb and sidewalk treatment is not needed to support adjacent development, this street type provides adequate infrastructure while allowing for the passive infiltration of stormwater at the street edge. In addition to providing drainage, the planting strip area may be reinforced to allow for on-street "parkway parking" between required street trees. Sidewalks should be provided as necessary where the right-of-way is wide enough to accommodate them.
Curb Type	None Required
Right-of-Way Width	38 feet minimum*
Traffic Lanes (Pavement Width)	2 lanes (10 feet each)
Movement (Design Speed)	Slow (25 MPH)
Parking Lanes (Width)	Optional "parkway parking" w/in planting strip area (8 feet each side)
Bike Facilities	Signed route as needed

Street Trees	40 feet on-center max., overstory; 24 feet on-center max., understory or palms
Specific Applicability	See Street Regulating Plan
* In the Historic District the minimum permitted right-of-way width should be decreased as necessary, by eliminating a planting strip from one side of the street, to accommodate existing corridors that are particularly narrow. (Example: King Street)


C.5.11	Rural Road (RR: 45 ft +)

C.1.1 - OFFICIAL STREET NETWORK PLAN—EXISTING, ADOPTED AND PROPOSED

The Official Street Network Plan, divided into different segments of the city, depicts the existing street network in the city, proposed streets that have been adopted as part of an existing Official Map [hereby referred to as "new adopted streets"], and new streets that are proposed as part of the Civic Master Plan process. New proposed streets that are not part of an existing Official Map, as indicated in blue on the diagrams, are non-binding and for recommendation only. See Section 7.2.1 B. for establishment and implementation details.

C.1.2 - STREET HIERARCHY DIAGRAM

This diagram, showing both existing streets and new adopted streets, indicates the most significant streets and intersections in the city. The code refers to Primary and Secondary streets and Significant Intersections particularly in the District Standards (Article 2), Land Use Provisions (Article 3) and Building Design Standards (Article 4). For further definitions and applicability of Primary Streets, see the definition in Article 13.

C.1.3 - STREET REGULATING PLAN

This diagram, showing both existing streets and new adopted streets, indicates the prescribed street section for each street, based on existing conditions, future development potential and existing right-of-way dimension. New proposed streets that are not part of an existing Official Map are indicated on the second page of the diagrams for each area of the city. These are included as a guide for how development could potentially occur; they are non-binding and for recommendation only. See Section 7.2.1 for information on applicability and implementation.

C.1.4 - TYPICAL STREET SECTIONS

Beaufort has a number of typical street designs that capture the unique vernacular of of the area. The Street Regulating Plan applies specific expectations for streetscape characteristics to every street segment in the city. Each street type identified on the Street Regulating Plan maps corresponds to a street section diagram on the following pages that establishes the specific standards for that street.

C.1.5 - SPECIFIC STREET SECTIONS

In certain instances, portions of streets have been marked as "Other" on the Street Regulating Plan diagrams. These street segments have been specifically designed with details that deviate from the typical street sections to respond to the context: specific environmental, neighborhood, or development opportunities. Each of these specific street sections are included in this chapter following the typical street sections that apply to most streets throughout Beaufort.

In some cases, a specific street section may apply only to a portion of a single street. In other cases, a specific street section may apply to multiple streets. The applicability of each specific street section is detailed in a corresponding table.

Military Roads: Some streets have been identified as "Military Roads" in the Street Infrastructure Plan. These streets have been left to the discretion of their associated military authority.

Overhead Utilities: It is the intention of this plan to continue the city's pursuit of the burying of overhead utilities as a part of each street improvement project where funding permits. Where lines cannot be buried, the city will continue to work with the utility providers to replace or eliminate dead lines, unused equipment, and aging poles to improve the overall aesthetics of the entire city.

C.1.6 - TREE PLANTING STANDARDS

The following standards shall be used in conjunction with the appropriate street section.

Minimum Quantities: Street trees shall be installed according to the the street sections in C.4 and C.5.

Minimum Spacing: Arrangement of and distance between hardwood trees should correspond to the expected mature spread of the trees and shall in no instance be less than:

Forty feet between overstory trees.

Twenty-five feet between overstory trees and understory trees.

Fifteen feet between understory trees and palms.

Conflict with Street Lighting: Street trees shall be located and planted so as not to diminish the effectiveness of required street lighting, and in no instance shall street lights be located closer than:

Fifteen feet to overstory trees.

Eight feet to understory trees.

Tree Wells:

In commercial areas where there is no planting strip, trees shall be provided with grates, hard surface tree wells, or other approved methods of root protection.

Tree wells for overstory trees shall be as specified per street section. The ideal tree well size is 5 feet by 10 feet; however tree wells may be reduced to 5 feet by 5 feet if structural soils or silva cells are provided. Root barrier fabric is required.

Tree wells for understory or palm trees shall be a minimum of 5 feet by 5 feet.
