To this, it adds a tool box of techniques to manage stormwater and natural drainage-an ever present environmental challenge that plays a major role in shaping cities and towns. The Tools This little book lays out an array of Light Imprint tools, each shown in the context of an actual New Urbanist project. You will find more than sixty techniques for paving streets and walkways, channeling and storing water, and filtering surface runoff before release into the underground water table.

While traditional planning respects terrain, geographical conditions, topography and public space, LID provides a toolkit for stormwater management using natural drainage, traditional engineering infrastructure, and filtration practices at the scale of the community and the block. This toolkit offers a set of context sensitive design solutions that result in a range of environmental benefits, an aesthetic approach to green infrastructure, and significantly lowered construction and engineering costs.

In a white paper written by Tom Low, the author of the Light Imprint Handbook , he summarized findings of several communities he has designed that incorporate LID techniques. The most compelling factor for using the LID design principles is the improved affordability of the community by an overall decrease in construction costs.

The LID strategy resulted in a 27 percent cost increase, with the introduction of tree protection fences. Yet, a 50 percent cost savings occurred with:. In other words, there will be LID techniques more appropriate for Edge residential zones and others more appropriate in a mixed use urban Core zone. Be sure to check out the image gallery for examples from the Light Imprint Handbook showcasing how these techniques will be applied in new Groveland communities.

Please be on the lookout for more information on these new opportunities, and remember to check back in next Wednesday as we continue unveiling elements of the all-new Community Development Code.
