7 GUIDING OBSERVATIONS
1. Site has visual and environmental properties unique in the Jasper Park system. Reuse plan should take full advantage of these attributes.
2. Site’s topography and access limits new structures and active development to relatively small area of the overall site.
3. Water bodies are strong amenity and focal point of site; consider expansion or aggregation into one large lake
4. Significant grading and tree canopy clearing should be minimized
JASPER COUNTRY CLUB
7 GUIDING OBSERVATIONS5. Active recreational uses can be more
appropriately accommodated off-site (south of 15th Street)
6. Potential physical community “center” can best be accommodated at southwest corner adjacent to 15th Street.
7. Site more amenable to development of outdoor community programming related to arts, environmental education, fitness, health, and ecology.
