<br />. . <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />~ Community Meeting - TCAAP 2 March 17, 1994 <br /> <br /> <br />- Vehemently opposed to a golf course which would <br />replace native flora with exotics that require <br />extensive irrigation, herbicides, pesticides and <br />fertilization, as well as extensive grading of the <br />land. <br /> <br />- Residential development-more houses means more <br />services (schools, grocery, library, more traffic <br />lanes, etc.). <br /> <br />- Approve the idea of fOllowing Hennepin County <br />Regional Parks Management model. <br /> <br />- Sports fields take up a lot of space, plus you <br />need parking. 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 /> <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 /> <br />- It's obvious how disconnected "environmental" use <br />is from "practical" issues. <br /> <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 /> <br />- The currently undeveloped land is irreplaceable. <br />It should be left undeveloped and protected. <br /> <br />FACILITATOR'S NOTES: VISION FOR FUTURE USES <br /> <br />- Museum, architectural, historical, memorial <br /> <br />- Interpretive Center - military, history, natural <br />resources <br /> <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 /> <br />- Improve tax base, enhancement, allow perimeter <br />development, (selected) commercial. <br /> <br />~ <br />
