Concept Plan #3: Open Space and Recreation This sceuario departs significantly from the others by using open space and recreation as its primary land-use focus. The scenario envisions inclusion of 36 holes of golf as well as a major sports complex and a regional park. Open space and recreation would comprise 767 acres, or 36% of the site, in addition to the 828-acre (39%) open-space framework described earlier. The transportation network does not penetrate the heart of the recreational area but skirts the edge of it. Existing wetlands are enhanced by extensive retention-pond areas. Non-residential uses are still located along the major roadways but are scaled back to a depth of only 1,600 feet (slightly more than one-quarter mile) and an area of 294 acres (14% of the site). Again, the site immediately south of the 35W interchange would be set aside for retail/commercial uses. Residential uses are reduccd to only 56 acres, or 2.7% of the site, and are located in the southwest quadrant of the site adjacent to the golf courses. The governmental area remains intact. Concept Plan #4: Residential This scenario places the greatest emphasis on residential development. 11 includes 626 acres of residential development broken into low-, medium- and high-density housing. Housing thus accounts for 30% of all use of the site. The low-density residential area also includes an 18-hole golf course integrated with the single-family housing. Non-residential uses are conftned to the 35W and US 10 frontages and comprise only 309 acres, or 15% of the site. The site adjacent to 35W north of the interchange is designated as a "special opportunity site." The frontage along CSAH 96 would be restricted to single-family uses combined with a designated school/park site. Once again, govemmental uses and a proposed interpretive center occupy the same places. Summary of Land Uses Figure 17 summarizes all of the land uses within each scenario, for comparative purposes. The acreage shown for each scenario is less than the total 2,370 acre because only the land use "bubbles" were measured, discounting gaps between uses and heavy roadway lines. Generally, calculated acreage equals about 90% of the actual total. Camiros, Ltd.lSEH, Inc./LHDL, Ltd, TCAAP Framework Plan Page 8 Chapter IV I .1 I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I J I I
