CHAPTER 5

THE DEVELOPMENT OUTLINE

General Instructions.

The Development Outline consists of a series of typewritten statements and data charts prepared to supplement each Master Plan drawing by presenting all important factors which influence the policy of development.

The Outline should clearly differentiate between all existing and proposed conditions.  The date of outline compilation should be shown.

Specific instructions covering the form and content of the Development Outlines are contained in Part Two of this manual.

The first Development Outline compiled may not offer more than a brief report on existing conditions.  As it is reedited, rewritten and corrected to conform to the plan revisions of later Master Plan editions, the Outline will gradually be amplified until it includes all items to be considered in the ultimate development of the area. 

Typing.

The outline should be typed on a good grade of tracing paper.  It is essential that a clear, crisp impression be obtained.  The usual typewriter ribbon does not print sufficiently heavy for clear reproduction without the use of a black carbon to secure a typed imprint on the reverse side of the tracing.  Special typewriter ribbons which give extra heavy impressions, thereby eliminating the necessity for using back carbons, are available and may be used.

Sheet Size.

The overall size of the development outline sheets printed and ready for binding in the Master Plan is standardized at 16" x 22".  The width of the printed data appearing on these sheets is 11", so placed on the sheet as to leave a margin of 1/2" along the right edge of the printed sheet.  This arrangement automatically leaves a binding edge of 4 1/2" along the left side of the sheet.  The top and bottom margins may vary. 

Reproduction.

The individual sheets of the outline are printed in black on white by a process similar to that used in the reproduction of the drawings.  Reproduction by such method is important due to the economy of time and labor and the uniformity of result. 

When ordering the black line prints of the outline, the printer should be cautioned to leave sufficient binding edge in trimming the prints.
