• • • 4. Master Plan • Goal: The goal of this plan is to provide passive recreational use for most part of the • park and to allow minimum commercial use at the existing Commercial Asphalt Co. site. Features of this plan would include research center, commercial building, archery range, • amphitheater, picnic area, lookout pavilions, sledding hill and hiking trails /cross- country trails. • This plan would utilize the existing access road to the Research Center and two access • roads from 221s' Avenue. Internal roadway circulation would have a "parkway" character • with two lanes and on- street parking. The Research Center could also include a visitor center for year round use. Archery range would be designed around the existing trees just north of the Research Center. It is hoped that the future commercial building, to be located at the Commercial Asphalt Co. and Plant site, would support a recreational -type • business that would utilize the outdoor areas as its product testing ground. The active product testing ground would have biking trail, rollerblading, skateboarding and putting areas and the passive product testing ground would have hiking, archery, camping gear, rock climbing and cross - country skiing areas. These areas would be used for users to test the products before purchasing. Plazas and other amenities could be developed to attract • patrons. Along the parkway, a bituminous trail would be developed to connect the Research Center, the commercial area and the picnic grounds. • A gravel looping trail would be constructed at the finish elevation with lookout pavilions to capture views from the site. Detention ponds could be designed and integrated with the • surrounding environment and could also function as site amenity. Native plants and wildflowers would be planted at all exposed areas. • 5. Master Landscape Scheme • Goal: The goal of this landscape scheme is to enhance the rehabilitation process through the use of native plants. • There are four landscape zones established for this site. • 1. Zone A: Restoration 2. Zone B: Restoration/Enhancement • 3. Zone C: Passive Recreation and Enhancement 4. Zone D: Reforested • Zone A: Restoration • This area would be planted with native grasses and shrubs that encourage wildlife and protect against erosion. Recommended species would include sumac, chokecherry, prairie rose, lead plant, little bluestem, big bluestem, indian grass and side oats gramma. • • • Elk Riser Landfill End Use blaster Plan 21 URS Waste Management, Inc.
