<br />+` <br />3, Concept PIan Alternatives <br />This section is based on the result of the inventory and analysis, vision, forces and issues, <br />and a work session with stakeholders in Inlay at City Hall. The concept plan alternatives <br />provided a platform for the development of the final master plan. <br />The concept plan alternatives ~~1ere: <br />1. Proposed Development 1-A: Landscape Restoration <br />2. Proposed De~~elopment 1-B: Landscape Restoration <br />3, Proposed De~7elopment 2: Recreational <br />~. Proposed Deg;elopment 3: CommerciaUCity Park <br />L Proposed De~~elopment 1-A: Landscape Restoration <br />Goal: The go(Il of this CCIlICept is to t-estore t11e landscape etlviro~ll)terzt tivitlt rrli~linlll)ta <br />cE~rltclct by Ilsers. <br />Features for this concept would include natural areas, a nature center, hiking trail and <br />lookout pavilion. <br />This concept would utilize the existing landfill access and parking. Anew visitor/nature <br />center or a renovated building ti~~ould be located adjacent to the parking. A secondary <br />access and parking would be located at the Commercial Asphalt and Co. Plant. A looping <br />hiking trail, constructed on gravel base, would be developed that could also become <br />cross-country skiing trail. Lookout pavilion would be installed along the looping trail to <br />take advantage of the various vantage locations. The areas at the top would be "sectioned <br />out" to create "outdoor rooms" far different plant communities. A trail would connect <br />these areas to the overall trail system as well as to the existing trail. The top elevation <br />t~jould also be gradually sloped to maximize the views. Native plants with spreading roots <br />system should be used and in areas where needed, these plants should be planted in <br />earthen berms to prevent root penetration to the subsurface membrane. <br />2. Proposed De~Telopment 1-B: Landscape Restoration <br />Goal: The goal of this coslcept 1s SI77111CIt' to 1-.~ tt~Ittclt is to restore t12e larl~lscclpe <br />er~~~irar2flTent ~i~itll rrlitli~rlllrtl co~ltact b~• I.ISC~rs. <br />Features of this concept would include natural areas, hiking trails, native plantings and <br />lookout pavilions. This concept would utilize the existing access to the landfill with <br />parking. A second access and parking would be located at the southern edge of the <br />property off 221s` Avenue. A looping trail would connect the lookout pavilions, which <br />would be installed to maximize the views from the site. Earthen berms v+~ould be <br />constructed to capture the geologic features of the region, Native plants would be planted <br />with ufild flowers and grasses on the berms and slopes, and overstory plants as buffer <br />around the perimeter of the site. <br />3.
