Paul Krie~er. with David Tryba Archilccts. said he would like 10 give a very brief synopsis or the guidelines . It really boils down to th:11 there arc two major purposes lo the guidelines. 1bc fi.nl purpmic is to basically explain the im cntion s of lhc plan to both the Ci1y and 10 ou tsiders. he said. Thal is bac:kal llf by cxploining also the q1c1li1ics 1h01 arc required of buildings 1ha1 arc design,. within the Di1tritt 1'1111 and the Master Plan .

So. ii~· boils down to two basic intentions fl ,r lhc Guidelines as a whole , he explained.. One is to explain the intention of lhe Masccr Plan a~ wdl as project give guidance to the developers on what the iaknliom ill"C.. how they relate tn building in the Plan . whal 1he imponant p.1n s arc, nnd then it basicall) goes ink> the detail of the inter-relationships of the parcels and the guidelines.
