The City has a strong desire to see the development of the Kesler Mill site integrated into the existing Park Avenue neighborhood per the Guiding Public Interests. The City requests that both LIHTC developments include a walking trail as one of the Additional Site Amenities as outlined in the 2025 Appendix B (Design Quality) guidelines of the QAP. Additionally, the City envisions that the new roads through the Site would support multimodal transit and incorporate a greenway/trail that would connect to existing and future greenway/trail systems. The City will work closely with the selected development partner to design their desired streetscape enhancements to the roads installed by the developer. • The City envisions the following new primary roads for the former Kesler Mill site: i. Road 1: new “Cemetery Street” extension from N. Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. going south and east to N. Arlington Street. ii. Road 2: new road from E. Franklin Street going south and west to intersect with the new “Cemetery Street.” iii. Optional Road 3: Extension of N. Arlington Street to the north and E. Franklin Street to the east to intersect and complete the block. • The new roads should accommodate multimodal transit in accordance with the City of Salisbury Land Development Ordinance (LDO) guidelines and will be maintained by the City of Salisbury. Approximately 2.5 acres of the Site are within the floodplain of the Town Creek subsidiary and this acreage was assumed to remain as open space for this project. The City requests that developers include in their proposals measures that would promote safety and visibility, while also deterring undesirable activity in these open spaces through lighting and other design measures
