PINETOP -LAKESIDE TOWN PLAN - Summer 2006
In August, 2006, the Tejido Group concluded work on the Master Plan for Pinetop-Lakeside. Research included an analysis of previous studies, a thorough site analysis, user group analysis, contextual analysis, and various on-site studies of open space, built form, and environmental assets.

Our primary role in the development of the town plan was to balance the conservation of open spaces (creeks, meadows, forests), strategic management of future growth, and aesthetic enhancements to existing infrastructure.

The delicate balance between these three variables will define the character of the town for generations to come. Therefore, we presented a viable 'nodal' concept that would accomplish the goals set forth by the town and anticipated through the project. Click on the image above to view the project webpage.

The images above represent the progression of the goals of the Pinetop-Lakeside Town Plan. The final image on the right is a graphic representation of the natural systems in town and their interconnectivity. Our primary aspiration was to reprioritize these natural systems, and create social connections and interactions with those systems. The creation of nodes is a way to balance both.
The first image above is the final graphic that represents the schematic concept for the master plan produced in the summer of 2006. The image to the right represents the schematic goal for the Woodland Lake Park Tract Master Plan project.

One of the most important aspects that must be remembered in this process is that the Woodland Lake Park Tract is one peice in a much larger natural system. The forests, meadows, creeks, and lakes of the area are all interconnected, and to neglect those other sensitive areas while focusing on the park tract is not only a disservice to the town and its residents, but to the White Mountain region as a whole.

As valiant as it may be to work to acquire the Woodland Lake Park Tract, if the town spends all of its time, money, and efforts on the park tract alone, those resources will not be available for future endeavors in the protection and management of other open spaces.
