0 6 a <br /> Development Potential <br /> The development potential of The Meadowlands site is illustrated on the Site Analysis <br /> Summary map. It is a synthesis of all the separate analyses. The map is divided into four <br /> categories based on the limitations of the various existing and man-made features of the site. <br /> Eighty percent of The Meadowlands site has high to moderately-high development potential, <br /> thus it is highly suitable for development as a campus-style industrial/office park. <br /> The Zone 1 areas have the best potential for development and total approximately sixty <br /> percent of the site. These areas have flat to gentle slopes, good soils, good views and <br /> accessibility. They can be developed with least disturbance to the site. <br /> The Zone 2 areas are of moderately high potential for development and make up <br /> approximately twenty percent of the site. These areas are made up of gentle to moderate <br /> slopes with slight-moderate limitations. They are most often located adjacent to the high <br /> development potential areas and can be readily incorporated into their development. Much <br /> of this area is tree-covered and can serve as transition areas between more intense <br /> development. - <br /> The Zone 3 areas have moderate potential. They contain steeper slopes associated with <br /> drainage swales. <br /> Zone 4 areas have low potential. They primarily border on the existing drainageways that <br /> enter or exit the lake. Besides having developmental constraints;these areas should be - •-1 <br /> preserved as functional amenities of the site. <br /> . . _ <br /> Jadow1and5 <br /> 22 <br />
