In short, any proposed development has not only the opportunity to enhance the site itself, but <br />can also support and reinforce regional efforts, such as trail efforts, extension of river parklands, <br />water quality improvement, public access, connections to a potential commuter rail line, and <br />habitat preservation. The charette process is designed to address all these issues and others yet to <br />be determined. <br /> <br />Charette Objectives <br />The workshop is an opportunity to help establish parameters and test development potential, with <br />a design that reinforces existing efforts to enhance natural resources. The workshop is designed <br />to allow all participants at the table to comment and suggest direction of site development. This <br />charette will precede creation of a draft site plan, which would be reviewed with the group at a <br />future date to be determined. <br /> <br />Prime objectives include: · Identify potential impacts of development on sensitive natural areas. <br /> · Recognize and reinforce natural site amenities and sensitive areas or those with high <br /> natural quality. <br /> · Pinpoint government or NGO efforts to preserve and enhance the watershed and the <br /> Mississippi shoreline. <br /> · Identify both appropriate and potential site density, and possible site utility, trails, and <br /> circulation strategies and links with Hastings and the larger region. <br /> <br />Enclosures: <br /> Agenda <br /> Directions <br /> Etc ..... <br /> <br /> <br />
