The overall community theme
will include the "ranching
heritage" of the site, the
property's surroundings, and
the City of Fort Worth

The design will be understated
to reflect a "quiet dignity"

The theme will embrace the site's
existing indigenous qualities:
— saving as many of the site's
natural features as possible
— utilizing native landscape
treatments
— designing a natural system of
storm water management
facilities to retain water and
reduce runoff into surounding
creeks

The community theme will be
designed around an extensive,
high-quality, integrated open
space/greenbelt system

A high priority will be placed on
the community's streetscape:
— an extensive street tree planting
program is proposed
— primary streets will have
landscaped medians and wide
sidewalks
— secondary streets will be
pedestrian friendly and
designed for lower traffic speeds

The overall community theme
will reflect the latest tecnologies
and high-quality education
