Abstract/Artist Statement
Lone Tree Village is a 335 acre site that will be transformed Into a mixed use development encompassing residential, commercial, and industrial uses. A development of this nature is built to encompass all of the different types ofland use and to allow for the neighborhood to flourish from within. Our group was driven by the possibility of improving the quality oflife for future neighborhoods in the San Joaquin County. Small details like the integrated trail plan will allow residents to walk throughout the neighborhood to locations such as the elementary school, commercial sites, or downtown Lone Tree Village. Most of the trail is adjacent to our Bioretention swale filtration system which serves as our main storm water pollution treatment and also provides a scenic route for outdoor patrons. Storm water pollution prevention was a main concern for the project because of the effect development will have on the surrounding habitat. All water run off is planned to be diverted back into South Littlejohns Creek which eventually leads back in to the San Joaquin Delta. It was important that we designed a storm drain system that would allow water treatment and detention through biological solutions before being released back into nature. Lone Tree Village was designed with the combination of modem civil engineering methods and new ideas of sustainability in order to provide a community that is both functional and appealing for its owners.
