Objective
to reduce site disruption due to laying, maintain utility lines, and minimize energy use by on-site
utilities to reduce transportation corridors on site, thus reducing the pollution loads.
7.1 Commitment
7.1.1 design a site plan to minimize road length and building footprint. Shade all pedestrian
roads by vegetated roofs/any other shading devices.
7.1.2 use aggregate utility corridors.
7.1.3 Consolidate utility corridors along the previously disturbed areas or along new roads, in
order to minimize unnecessary cutting and trenching and to ensure easy maintenance.
local codes and requirements for water, sewer, and electrical/telecommunication lines
should be considered.
7.1.4 Consolidate services, pedestrian, and automobile paths.
7.2 Compliance
the following documents have to be submitted.
7.2.1 a narrative (maximum 300 words) along with supporting drawings to prove that
road lengths and building footprint are minimized and that all pedestrian roads have
permanent shading.
7.2.2 Site plan (Cad file) showing section of aggregate utility corridor with utility lines.
7.2.3 Site plan (Cad file) showing that all services along with the pedestrian and vehicular
paths are consolidated.
7.3 Appraisal (maximum points – 3)
7.3.1 demonstrated use of minimization and consolidation of transportation/service corridors
and shading of pedestrian roads, as per clause 7.2.1 (1 point).
7.3.2 use of aggregate utility corridors, as per clause 7.2.2 (1 point).
7.3.3 Consolidation of utility corridors along the previously disturbed areas or along new roads
in order to minimize unnecessary cutting and trenching and ensure easy maintenance,
as per clause 7.2.3 (1 point).
