Land Cover Map

Site Forces

The Site Forces map defines the physical and cultural elements of the site was presented to the advisory committee members. Through this process the land helps defines points of interest, possible viewsheds, access points and gateways. This plan is presented as a guide to the site designer for greater awareness and understanding of the problems and their subsequent solutions.

Building Suitability Based on Soil Properties

Soil properties deal with the ability of the soil to support building without movement and on excavation and construction costs. Soil properties include: depth to water table, depth to bed-rock, ponding, flooding, shrink-swell potential and compressibility. Understanding these general soil features serve as a guide in the master planning process when siting various uses on the site.

The GIS maps show building suitability based on soil properties. Two building conditions have been assumed:1) building of three stories or less with basement and 2) small commercial building less than three stories without basement.

A rating class system is used to assess building limitations based on all soil properties or features that affect building site development. “Not limited” shows that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. “Somewhat limited” shows that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. “Very limited” shows that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specific use.

Building Suitability Based on Soil Properties:
Building of three stories or less with basement

Building Suitability Based on Soil Properties:
Small commercial building less than three stories without basement

Park Concept Plans

Park Concept A & B park features include: Softball Fields in a Wagon Wheel configuration, 2 soccer Fields, natural trail system, 2 – Picnic/Play Area, Bituminous Trail System, 3 – Creek Crossings, Primitive Tent Camping, Ice Skating Area, Frisbee Golf, Open Play/Picnic, Enclosed/Open Park Shelters and City Facilities.

The differences between the concepts are: roadway alignment, a formal landscape approach versus a softer natural approach to Neenah Creek Parkway, sports field layout and parking and City facilities and their locations. Both concepts have an extensive trail system, combining the natural versus bituminous, skating rink, boardwalk, and access from the trails to the creek.

Concept Plan A

Concept Plan B

Concept C

Concept C, the roadway the roadway is terminated with parking and a cul-de-sac. A winter recreation area is located mid park and additional ice skating is located in the NW area of the park beyond the cul-de-sac. Concept C & D; a future easement access, turf volleyball and basketball have been included in the program elements.

Concept D

Concept D, the roadway is extended through the park with additional parking bays along the parkway. The additional ice skating area is located in the SW end of the park. In Concept C & D; a future easement access, turf volleyball and basketball have been included in the program elements.
