The Master Plan for Roche Harbor is a conscientious, carefully-considered plan intended to honor the area’s rich history while creating a modern, sustainable community void of sprawl – key components of a Traditional Neighborhood Development, or TND.
The plan’s primary objective: a town with a center and a defined edge requiring no more than five minutes to traverse by foot. This guiding principle allowed the design to grow from within while encouraging pedestrian and community activity.
Key aspects of the planning process included studies of shoreline codes and requirements with regard to the marina and waterfront buildings, and presentation of proposed changes to the community.
