Afterward, participant <br />discussed concerns about transportation. The process included each small group reporting <br />back to the larger group. Below are the comments that were recorded by the large group <br />leader. (There were no formal presentations to the group.) <br /> <br />Natural Resources Discussion <br /> <br />Question # J With respect to natural resources, what do you value most about the assets <br />of the larger TeMP site? <br />. Keep Vento Plan to keep natural resources <br />· Preserve Corridors <br />· Look at TCAAP in regional context: natural resources, transportation development <br />· Rice Creek Corridor drainage <br />· Large contiguous habit reserves (development should not fragment these) <br />· Active recreation for all scales and communities and groups - buffer natural resources <br />· Future development should work with and support natural function of land <br />. Preserve wildlife and water corridors <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Question #2 What are your concerns about development of the site? <br />· Limit Access from South near new development, have more than I access point- <br />TH 10 and 1-35W <br />· All stakeholders should have input on impact of development <br />· Do not fragment site <br />. Saving money - do not clean-up polluted sites above industrial land use; put higher <br />land uses elsewhere <br />. Storm water treatment should use infiltration techniques /best practices <br />· Access to site important - transportation and environment <br />. Concern about clean-up costs <br /> <br />Question #3 How can developmentfit within the natural resources of the site? <br />. Veoto plan - retain large scale natural resource areas <br />· Put brick and mortar on western 1/3 of site <br />· Minimize light pollution with best practice strategies <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Page I of 4 <br />
