These should be sited elsewhere, <br /> but if this is the best location, restrict them to <br /> the periphery and to areas already developed. <br /> Keep the prairie pot holes, forests, etc. intact. <br /> - Oppose leaving land as a "pure wilderness" when <br /> the incredible amount of park and wilderness in <br /> the state. The area would have to be sealed from <br /> . public use to remain wild. <br /> - It's obvious how disconnected "environmental" use <br /> is from "practical" issues. <br /> - Would like to see 80% remain as open space and it <br /> would be reasonable to figure out some area for a <br /> City facility. <br /> - The currently undeveloped land is irreplaceable. <br /> It should be left undeveloped and protected. <br /> FACiLiTATOR'S NOTES: VISiON FOR FUTURE USES <br /> - Museum, architectural, historical, memorial <br /> - Interpretive Center - military, history, natural <br /> resources <br /> . - Open space - non-destructive, no terrain change, <br /> no motorized vehicles, restoration of existing, <br /> handicapped access, regional park, (park reserve <br /> 80/20). <br /> - Improve tax base, enhancement, allow perimeter <br /> development, (selected) commercial. <br /> . <br />
