The City of Gem Lake is a significant natural resource area, including a lake, <br />wetlands, and hardwood forests. Care needs to be exercised in the design and construction of <br />any new development in the City. Sensitive areas should be protected as open space. Master <br />planning, cluster development, and similar land use concepts should be used to minimize <br />impacts on natural resources and maximize efficiency of services. <br />Aggregate Resources <br />Demand for aggregate resources continues to grow in the metropolitan area. As local <br />resources become depleted, aggregate needed for urban development will have to be importe <br />J <br />from outside the seven -county metropolitan area.
