Introduction

This document represents the results of an ongoing study designed to be a “living” or “green” portfolio of the WindRose Master Plan. This study is to be used as a guideline for designs and planning that will serve the community and its directors for a period of five to ten years providing strategies, concepts, layouts, schedules, and budgets as we know them today. The purpose of this study will provide WindRose CA (Community Association) and BOD (Board of Directors) with an objective analysis for concepts planning and budgeting as well as a foundation for future design development. As such, this report does not focus on specific details of the community design and construction plans, but more on guidance towards ideas, concepts, locations, suggestions, and further study of each presented alternative. To accomplish the goal, extensive research and analysis along with intermediate meetings were performed with the BOD to understand the history and the scope associated with the planning process. Murr Incorporated collected data from existing parts of the community that suggested a design direction to formulate a scope to follow throughout the process. This report is based on the premises of a safe, healthy environment that protects the welfare of this community. The document is presented as a conclusion towards the justification of proceeding with further study and design development of each proposed plan and concept.

This plan portrays the prominent spaces, elements, plant materials, sections, features and amenities of different layers which make up the community’s landscape of the present and future. The study will present a broad physical framework for the use and treatment of the landscape by establishing a vision for form, identity and expression for further landscaping, parks, and amenities within the WindRose community.

As established through programming, this Conceptual Master Plan is presented in a series of graphic initiatives looking at areas of high importance and use, access, amenities, plant pallets, and space use with guidelines. Some spaces will clearly be in greater need of attention therefore establishing a chronology of importance, thus creating “phases.” The plan will frame the criteria of standards of which the community will use for budgeting, planning, and outlining the regions and priorities of WindRose. To date there lacks a system of planning that incorporates all of the above items mentioned with forecast, mission and budget in mind. The client is requesting that green space and preservation be a consistent priority. The client also requested the addition of trees and natural (native) plant material be programmed and/or retained during and throughout the planning process. The Client (WindRose CA) expressed their interest in addressing the need for quality green spaces, improvement of spaces already in existence and further developments of recreational spaces to accommodate the diverse and changing demographics of the community.

This Plan further strives to devise a tool for improving the image of the WindRose Subdivision. This plan and document serves as a framework and skeletal configuration for achieving the “character” of the landscape, harmonious with the indigenous and existing environment. The plan further strives to meet the parameters and requirements set forth by the WindRose CA accommodating their needs with functionality and aesthetics in mind.

The purpose of this study is also to formulate a vision and strategy for improving and increasing the image of this community. It also provides the tool to create a better place to live and maintain

property values while competing with other Master Planned communities in the area. This Master Plan is not intended to go into detail of principles describing specifics such as planting design, amenity specifications, design development drawings, or project implementation.

Opportunities

WindRose is still developing at a young age - the structure of what the future character will look like. There are many different ways this community could develop, depending on how the priorities are set and how budgets will be manipulated.

By focusing on the natural areas (greenbelts and reserves) and small parks first, we initialize the importance of getting outside and exercising and using connectivity to build each of these areas. Adding trees and plant materials are the first choice in shaping the continuation of the forecasted look. Continuing with amenities which add character and recreation, or a place for contemplation are also highlighted to begin retrofitting or adding in the near future. These are easy opportunities to use available funds and make some immediate impacts on the area while assuring folks, their space is being planned with the things they want to see and use.

Results

The results acquired by implementing opportunities are determined by the use and appeal. Those results, from a variety of potential outcomes, range from the immeasurable health benefits from using the amenities (and captured by all ages) to the simple facts of increased property values to the overall quality of life.

II. Parks

Open space and traditional elements play an important role in establishing a memorable environment and the character of the subdivision. These open spaces are an essential resource that must be preserved, enhanced, and extended as WindRose continues to expand in the future. The subdivision is made up of a variety of environmental settings that provide spatial diversity and help to moderate the scale of the development into smaller sections. These smaller sections should provide unity with each other. This Master Plan seeks to strengthen both the diversity and cohesiveness of the areas in WindRose. The order in which the parks are documented in this plan does not represent any chronology of importance or priority in the planning or implementation process.

Figure 2.1 – Park Location Plan


Active vs. Passive

There are three types of systems in programming activities for parks. For the purpose of this report, and subject to the BOD’s approval, usage terms are defined as follows:

Passive Use

• Parks designated as passive use park are for activities engaged by individuals or small groups not dependent on a delineated area designed for specific activities. These parks have no designated sports fields or courts. They offer an amenity of tranquility, a place to reflect, and opportunities to enjoy being outdoors.

Mixed Use

• Park areas that allow for multiple uses including moderately organized games or activities, secluded gathering areas or places that can be enjoyed on a less organized basis mixed with activities are referred to as mixed use areas. Frequently Mixed Use Parks have an open area that can provide a place for larger gatherings or recreation. There may be park amenities delineated and designated for certain small group competitive activities (basketball, playgrounds, and volleyball courts, etc.). However there are spaces to enjoy idle time or just take in the surrounding environment.

Active Use • Active parks are park areas characterized by formal

designated fields, outdoor courts (basketball, volleyball, and tennis) and outdoor amenities (skate park, frisbee, golf, walks, playgrounds, picnic areas, etc.) They are more conducive to a regimented rule system protecting both the provider and the user. The Maintenance of these parks is usually more descriptive, because of the heavy use and demographic of the user.

Figure 2.5 – Park Use Table

Alternatives Considered

The BOD may choose to take no action on designating parks and park areas, or may choose to designate only some of the parks for Active, Mixed or Passive uses.

The improvements suggested have encouraged activities that are a mixture of park use in most cases. Many of the areas have playgrounds or some kind of activity in place; however, there is open space, forested or not, which also allows passive time. Recreation Opportunities

• More trails • Expanded Parks • Expanded amenities • Spectating • Skateboards • Walking

• Biking • Other

Pocket Parks

Possible Pocket Park Upgrades

• Renovate old equipment • Add additional play equipment • Add new benches and trash receptacles • Upgrade Landscaping • Paving • Signage • Fencing • Add Lighting

Oakmoss Park

Figure 2.7 – Passive Gathering on a Reserve Example


Stone Trail Park

Stone Trail Park is located at the southern part of the subdivision and has room for several additions as suggested by the Conceptual Master Plan. Murr Incorporated has suggested ornamental fencing, connectivity, some additional play areas within this park as well as additional trees and landscaping. The need for shade is essential for a cooling affect as well a canopy to further provide shade in the passive areas. An additional requirement would be to add play mulch to these areas as an upgrade to existing and proposed play areas for safety and aesthetics.

Figure 2.8 – Stone Trail Park Plan


Eaglewood Park

Eaglewood Park is also a centralized park within the WindRose community and because of its demographic location it should also be considered one of the top priorities in the small park improvement plan. Upgraded play equipment is suggested as well as signage and additional amenities. More trees and a passive picnic area is proposed at the front of the park to be more inviting and usable for residents.

Figure 2.9 – Eaglewood Park Plan


Auburn Forest Park

Auburn Forest Park is located in the northwestern part of the WindRose subdivision. The park serves as a centralized location for residents and visitors to utilize and with that in mind several additions and improvements are suggested. Murr Incorporated is suggesting keeping the existing trees in the back of the park to enhance their beauty and purpose. The area is suggested to be minimally cleaned and cleared to add a trail that goes through them to serve as a running/walking nature trail. The addition of shrubs and trees in the front of the park is necessary for shade and landscape splendor. The improvement of amenities will be necessary to increase the use of the park, new benches, and improvements in the play area are highly recommended. An ornamental fence is also proposed for safety of residents, especially children that will be using the park.

Figure 2.10 – Auburn Forest Park Plan


Auburn Ridge Park

Auburn Ridge Park is located on the northeastern part of the WindRose subdivision. It is another centralized park in the subdivision that has the capability of becoming an active park with usable amenities and areas to entertain the visitors and residents of the WindRose community. Murr Incorporated has suggested the following; volleyball courts, new “TOT” equipment, new play equipment, benches, and a gazebo to increase the usability and value of the park. Although there are existing trees that create shading for some of the play areas suggested, more shrubs and ornamental trees are recommended to enhance the landscaping of the park. Park signage is highly recommended at all of the parks to identify their location in the community as well as good means of communicating rules and expectations from the management.

Figure 2.11 – Auburn Ridge Park Plan


Reserves There are over 150 acres of Reserves throughout the WindRose Community. These reserves offer an amazing opportunity to enhance the environment with identification, more greenways, linear movement, and increased recreation. These reserves not only provide a visual relief from the developed environment, they add value to the properties while providing increased tranquility and negative encroachment. There are basically two types of Reserves to work with; Primary and Secondary Reserves. The Primary Reserves consist of areas denoted as detention facilities, easements of major roadways and esplanades. The Secondary Reserves consist of culdesac endings, site entrances, small pocket parks, and culdesac centered circles. Both of these types of reserves are prime subjects to be treated with amenities and/or natural and native plant materials to enhance their usability and visual impact.

Figure 2.12 – Existing Reserves Figure 2.13 – Pine Lakes Park


Prioritized Reserves

Note: Some entrances simply need upgrading and trimming of existing plant materials.

Figure 2.14 – Prioritized Reserves


Small (Pocket) Park Reserves

WindRose has Pocket Parks peppered throughout the community. These Pocket Parks provide a tranquil environment for each of the subdivided reserves within the various sections. This offers neighbors the chance to have a green retreat within walking distance of their homes during passive times with an opportunity for children to have a place to play and recreate. The future of these Pocket Parks offers variety with improvement, amenities, and consensus programming of various considerations. For example, the possibility of upgrading play equipment in many of these parks has a huge bearing on the attraction to children. The safety aspect of this improvement would be adding mulch to the fall zones of existing play equipment. Another recommendation would be upgrading the benches and trash receptacles of these areas and also selective clearing and tree pruning to open these areas up.

Figure 2.16 – Proposed Play Equipment


This area represents a serene environment centered in a cluster of homes within the subdivision. The opportunities in this area could be several, consisting of improved maintenance, screening of mail boxes, upgrading amenities, and adding some beds of color in perennial plantings. Even though this area may not be used a great deal physically, these are the types of areas that upgrade front yards and eye appeal in the neighborhood. Existing Play Areas are scattered throughout sections of the Community which are observed to be infrequently used. These areas also offer creative opportunities to attract family gatherings. Besides upgrading the amenities as has been suggested, expanding some of the areas also has the potential of creating a more appealing environment. The active parks within WindRose are in fair to good condition and subject to less improvement, but perhaps providing signage and upgrading the landscape are the potential opportunities these areas implore.

Figure 2.17 – Oakmoss Park

Figure 2.18 – Auburn Point Park

Figure 2.19 – Eagle Bend Park

Figure 2.20 – Stone Trail Park

Small parks in areas which are described within are in need of street appeal as well as added interpretive amenities. Signage with rules and park identification are one of several additions which can be made immediately to attract users. Other recommendations may include solar lighting and/or bollards, amenities for dog walking and turf improvements. Such niche areas would even offer WI-FI opportunities for people wanting to work or communicate through outdoor technology.


Typical Street End or Culdesac Reserves

Figure 2.21 – Winter Forest Dr. Reserve

Figure 2.22 – Greencreek Meadows Lane Reserve

The illustration (Figure 2.21/2.22) shows what can be accomplished in the center of cul-de-sacs and suggestions for street end reserves which currently have many opportunities. Many of these areas throughout WindRose have a heightened potential which needs to be activated through a creative design based on the ideas presented herein.


Detention Area Schematic

Four Major Detention Areas are within the WindRose Community and spread out across the community. These Detention Areas are dry 95% of the time, serving primarily as storm water storage facilities for the community. After a storm subsides, these are areas are dry and usable for recreation and/or open space. Murr Incorporated recommends the WCA work with the local MUD’s in establishing a use and priority for this acreage to provide further beautification and use of these areas for the constituents of the development.

Figure 2.23 – Detention Areas


Dog Park

Dog parks are becoming more and more popular within communities. They are the future of recreation with families and man’s best friend and offer more green space and a place to retreat and exercise one’s dog (small or large) in an outdoor environment. Dog parks today have trails, water features, water wash stations; play equipment specialized for dogs, water fountains for dogs and signage to make the areas attractive for the pet and the owner. Today’s dog parks are separated into small and large dog areas. This keeps the safety of the animals and the owners in perspective and facilitates the wrongful ganging of the less dominant dogs from harm. Care is given to the design of the facility so as not to corner a dog or an owner.

Figure 2.24 – Dog Park


III. Connectivity and Trail System

The Connectivity Plan is essential in developing the overall movement of individuals from walking to driving and other forms of transportation. Careful analysis has been taken to document existing connectivity in the form of walks overlaid with vehicular movement throughout the site. We have documented different forms of pedestrian movement mediums to tie in to existing sidewalks and trails currently existing. The “trail” plan is probably one of the most important priorities within this master plan.

Figure 3.1 – Connectivity Map


Priorities • Village Green • Connection to dead-end trails and side walks • Detention Pond tops of banks • Channel tops to connect water ways • Widen some concrete trails and crucial areas • Bike trails

Trail Types

• Granite Gravel - Natural Areas

Figure 3.2 – Granite Gravel

Granite gravel is an excellent medium for naturalistic trails. It does very well in all types of environments but exceeds in locations which have heavy foot traffic requiring a low impact surface. In other words joggers and walkers love this type of trail. The system works well on its own, tamped over a compacted sub-grade or combined with an adhering material which binds it together leaving less loose material on the surface. Either way this material hardens well over time with rain and compaction.


• Asphalt - Running and Along Drainage

Figure 3.3 - Asphalt

Asphalt works exceptionally well in park-like areas and is almost as preferred as granite gravel for walking/running surfaces and as connector trails. One of the cons with asphalt is that it is a petroleum based material so the pricing, fluctuates with the price of oil. It is also subject to shrinking, swelling and cracking dependent on the weather and moisture. It is extremely important to have a proper sub-base under this material so that faulting is at a minimum.

One of the unique things about asphalt is that it comes naturally black in color so there is no dying or coloring involved with the final product.


• Concrete - Thoroughfares and Homes

Figure 3.4 - Concrete

Concrete is one of the oldest most versatile hard surfaces used in construction to date. Concrete dates back hundreds of years and has a resilience of many years once poured correctly. Concrete can be colored and stamped for texture to provide different appearances for different applications. Concrete works well for sidewalks, trails, bike ways, and streets.


• Mulch - Natural and Secondary Areas

Figure 3.5 – Mulch

Mulch is a natural based material that denotes a trail more in visual theory than an actual surface composite. Mulch works well through nature areas and provides a covering for a naturally muddy area where trails have been carved out over time by constant travel. It is important to use mulch in an area only where handicapped access is not necessary and where erosion or flooding will not carry it away.


• Crushed Limestone - Along Drainage for Biking

Figure 3.6 - Limestone

Limestone is less popular as a trail surface than many of the other medium mentioned and used. Limestone is however an excellent surface for mountain biking, and offers a challenge to those who use it as such.

Limestone is also a great surfacing for vehicles, used for parking and drives which are desired not to be as hard surfaces.

WindRose Bend

One of the most user friendly, attractive, and most used amenity in the WindRose Community is the WindRose Bend Pool area. Adjacent to a beautiful lake, this area provides one of the most utilized amenities in the subdivision. Ann early improvement suggested for the area would be a lake edge treatment of cleaning and adding some type of border, such as bulkheads and/or boulders trimmed in Iris to the perimeter. This suggestion is applicable to the lake edge most used around the community accessed portion.

Figure 4.10 – WindRose Bend Center

Figure 4.12 – WindRose Bend Plan

Figure 4.11 – KnockOut Roses


Small improvements to the Play Area are suggested such as play mulch, signage, and benches. The surrounding area also needs landscape improvements and some selective clearing to become an attractive and more user friendly space.

A fishing pier would be a nice addition to the lake area adjacent to the existing parking lot. A safe, wooden pier with hand rails reaching out thirty feet into the lake would provide an area for better access to the water and a welcomed amenity.

Areas around the Arbor need to be enhanced for better usability. Tables and benches are suggested as children and adults were observed fishing in this area and enjoying the lake edge. Enhanced landscaping would also bring additional character to the area.

There are several areas around the WindRose Bend Pool and Parking Area that need drainage improvements. Standing water in several areas observed, along with sidewalks covered in sand and runoff mud would be priority focus areas to concentrate on to keep the area clean, safe, and drained well.

Figure 4.13 – Existing Play Area

Figure 4.14– Children Fishing at the Lake

Figure 4.15– Existing Arbor

Figure 4.16– Drainage Problems


The WindRose Bend Pool Area is very crowded during peak pool hours during the summer weekdays and weekends. Supplemental parking is probably a necessity at some point to sufficiently allow cars to stay off the streets as overflow. Since the area is only needed during key times for pool use, “green parking” should be considered as an alternative method of parking medium in the suggested area. The bermed area may have to be amended slightly to accommodate this, and unfortunately, a few trees may be sacrificed.

V. Signage

Sign Locations

• Add perennial color • Power wash regularly • Work in logo

Vegetation improvements would provide the greatest appreciation to the appearance of the WindRose monuments.

Consideration of epoxy paint on the backgrounds of monument signs, to reduce mildew and discoloring is suggested when renovating signs.

Figure 5.1 – Proposed Sign Locations Plan

Figure 5.2 – Existing Sign


Entrance Signage

The area indicated in Figure 5.3 is one of the most demanding areas within WindRose for further development. This is a major access within the subdivision that lacks a statement in the identity of the development. Landscaping is certainly one statement that will have immediate impact on this area. Color and perennial landscaping indicating invitational access should be on the hierarchical list.

Monumentation and signage is also of importance in this area as well as additional ornamental trees to make the statement this area requires.

Overall improvement on the turf and maintenance in this area should also be addressed to introduce and indentify the welcome mat to WindRose.

Figure 5.3 – Proposed Signage at T.C. Jester Dr.


Careful concentration should be maintained in sight lines and triangulation on the corners for viewing capabilities. This is important for traffic and safety concerns for each of these areas.

Figure 5.4 – Entrance Signage Ideas

Murr Incorporated recommends the use of Knock-Out Roses throughout the Master Plan projections. This species is extremely healthy and showy and lends itself to the theme which is underutilized at this stage. Wherever this plant can be used in mass will continue to compliment and emphasize perennial color throughout. Murr Incorporated suggests the Knock-Out Rose be incorporated into the entry signage and monumentation in every situation possible.

These areas will also have minor design changes such as bed shapes and new recommendations for evergreen and perennial color around the monuments and/or fenced areas. The idea is to bring an inviting look into each section within WindRose.

Figure 5.6 – Proposed Signage


Directional vs. Entrance

Careful attention needs to be placed in transition zones where pedestrian and vehicular traffic are mixed. Site lines and plantings should be careful not to interfere and grow into spaces where visibility needs to be a priority.

Figure 5.7 – Transition Elevation


VI. Landscaping

Much of the architecture dictates the landscape approach found in the already traditional areas of the subdivision. Stylized by the naturalistic approach of existing and new landscapes, these areas have been created and proposed with a natural arrangement of trees and shrubs defining reserves and open spaces which compliment the beauty of this north Houston residential area.

The creation of more of which already exists such as the lake surrounded by WindRose west is extended throughout this Master Plan. Since it is difficult to provide a precise set of specific designs, in conceptual plan, new landscapes should be created with sensitivity to continuous definition of quality and character.

WindRose is comprised of a variety of spaces distributed throughout the boundaries that diversify the already existing physical aspects and functional foundation of the subdivision. Primary components of the physical landscape proposed are indigenous plant materials which thrive and survive in this climatic region and soil makeup. The following is a brief description of plant palettes suggested for this area characterized by what has worked and what will work for the reasons stated above.

The use of buffering has been minimized but plays an important role in softening some of the hard architectural lines which still exist. These areas are defined within this document in the various sections of this Conceptual Master Plan. Buffering should be accomplished with informally placed groupings or massing of the plant palette proposed.

Figure 6.6 – Proposed Streetscape Area


Medians, esplanades, and reserves exist throughout the subdivision but mainly branching off of an axis defined by T.C. Jester Blvd. and Pine Lakes Blvd. Between these two boulevards there is extensive room for landscape enhancements to take place that bring a comfort to the driving experience within WindRose. Figure 6.6 above illustrates a concept that can be a skeletal base for future development in these areas. Again Knock-Out Roses are suggested along with esplanade end-caps in perennial color to bring some brightness to these areas. Already framed with the indigenous Loblolly Pine these areas are also projected to have ornamental and flowering trees implemented.

VII. Perimeter

Perimeter Enhancements

Figure 7.1 – Perimeter area to be Addressed

Areas to be Enhanced


Fencing

The current perimeter and bordering fence in WindRose is a pre-fabricated concrete material which is among the least expensive fencing that can be used for the application intended. WindRose currently does a good job of screening this fence with plant material which is recommended for future use to keep costs down. Perimeter fencing would be suggested as low, or all as needed priority in the ground scheme of “to dos” because they benefit so few at a very high cost.

Options Considered

Figure 7.2 – Proposed Fencing Figure 7.3 – Proposed Fencing

Figure 7.4 – Proposed Fencing


Fencing Location

The perimeter of WindRose is made of developed and undeveloped, and to be developed areas of the natural environment. Areas that are actually in place as much as they will be and areas that scheduled for construction or change will likely take on a new façade for the perimeter of WindRose. Special attention needs to be paid towards this development as it serves as the epidermis for this community.

Figure 7.5 – Proposed Fence Location Map

Figure 7.6 – Proposed Fence Location Aerial


North Perimeter Fence Location

Objectives to this attention need to include; existing trees to remain as much as possible.

• Landscape buffering for residences which abut to a perimeter. • Maintenance and service. • Aesthetically pleasing and softening visual appearance. • Gateways to the community. (Ingress and Egress, both) • Fencing concerns.

Figure 7.7 – Proposed Fence Location Map

Figure 7.8 – Proposed Fence Location Aerial


Exterior/ Perimeter Screening

The landscape palette should take on a characteristic similar to existing sites around the perimeter encompassing WindRose. Refer to plant palette provided in that section.

Parts of the perimeter area should be thinned as the native yaupon is very thick in the understory portion of these heavily forested areas.

Parts of Kuykendahl Rd. are currently under construction and the debris and vehicular movement and safety is less than desirable. With what is left under construction, the challenge is to work with invaded and contaminated soils, erosion, and ravaged land with re-naturalization.

We want our client to keep in mind that the perimeter of WindRose is the “first impression” of residents and visitors. Therefore keeping all aspects of basic landscape architecture, color, texture, size, and shape are to be exercised during the design of perimeter for present and future.

Working with utility companies, neighboring land owners, and residents, are all important aspects of negotiating to get to the final consistent, desirable outcome.

Identification is important to the characteristic of addressing the outside appearance of WindRose. Outside of entrance signage, way finding signage is also a consideration. As we move down the chronology of importance, landscaping takes on the third most important role in the perimeter visual. To maintain the look WindRose has established for itself inwardly, an outward appearance should utilize as much indigenous material as possible for consistency. Figure 7.9 – Proposed Monument Retrofit


VIII. Amenities

Amenities define a subdivision. They have a lasting impression on both visitors and residents. It is important to choose and use durable amenities that will leave the impression of consistency and comfort throughout the subdivision. Practicality, color, style, placement, and quality were all considered while assembling and designing the proposed amenities of this Conceptual Master Plan. Examples of recommendations, not limited to are as follows:

• Pavilions • Dog Waste Assistance • Bollards • Recreational Equipment • Play Equipment • Arbors • Signage • Bike Racks • Picnic Tables

Amenity Details

The color schemes recommended for most amenities suggested will be black or dark (forest) green. A variety of attaching mechanisms will

need to be determined in field based upon existing or proposed anchoring appropriations. The number of amenities will be determined by the number of users and requirements.

What separates WindRose from everyone else? When you have standards and consistency you maintain integrity.

Standards Lighting Signage Fencing Play Equipment Landscaping Paving Stonework Water features Furniture

The ornamental fencing within parts of WindRose is an excellent example of an indentifying architectural standard, which clearly states “you are in WindRose.” This standard is a classic way of a continuing amenity that should be utilized in other areas of development, and if nothing else to be an element added to each implementation of the landscape plan where practical.

IX. Medians, Intersections, and Crosswalks

Figure 9.1 – Pines Lake Boulevard

Figure 9.2 – Transition Elevation

It is important to keep in mind, at all intersections, the viewing angles for vehicular traffic. In all proposals and references to landscaping at intersections, medians, and crosswalks, sight lines and viewing angles will be taken into consideration.

The illustration to the right represents a conceptual idea discussed in the early stages for entrance landscaping and signage at the “front door” of various sections. Since the initial brainstorming of these areas, it has been tabled as a lower priority and thoughts to upgrade the existing structure along with maintenance to be placed as more of a priority.
