The project shall use curbless streets to provide for a more rural feeling in the neighborhood. If curbs are used, then they may be similar to the type as detailed in the County "Standard Details for Public Works Construction," Detail R-1, Precast Concrete Curb. This curbing profile is more in character with a traditional neighborhood setting than the typical curb and gutter details typically found in our modern subdivisions. M. Street Lights. (HCC §23-93), The use of a custom lighting fixture will reinforce the desired character of the neighborhood and be more sympathetic with the overall design goals of the project. The use of a custom fixture will provide the design flexibility to choose a different housing color and decorative style than what is permitted by the County standards. N. Street Name and Traffic Signs. (HCC §23-94). The use of a custom street name and traffic sign fixture will reinforce the desired character of the neighborhood and be more sympathetic with the overall design goals of the project.

Provide a neighborhood that encourages a sense of community and promotes social interaction; B. Provide a streetscape that is more in keeping with the unique character of Waimea's rural roads; C. Develop a master plan that mimics the local context and existing landscape; and D. Through the use of CC&R's, encourage housing design that both respects the historical architecture and encourages energy efficiency through the use of passive and active solar devices. 5.
