E. Redevelopment Alternatives Three alternative redevelopment scenarios were developed as part of this planning process, and the products of this task took both graphic and text founs. This exercise was intended to provide the EDC with alternatives for the future development and redevelopment of properties within Section 9. The following table presents the text version of these three alternative scenarios. Upon consideration of the three alternatives, a preferred alternative emerged that essentially combined those elements of each scenario that best reflected the Section 9 goals and objectives. 410 The reader is encouraged to use the illustration entitled Preferred Alternative contained in this report for visual reference to the elements identified in the matrix. F. Plan Implementation The following discussion outlines particular components of the Section 9 Redevelopment Plan as they relate to the issues identified above. The Preferred Alternative illustration contained in this report is the graphic representation of the following discussion, and the reader is encouraged to reference that illustration for elements identified in the discussion. Natural Resource Protection The large wetland area on the south side of TH 10 represents the one significant natural amenity within the Section 9 study area. The wetland offers value to the redevelopment area by offering a focal point and serving as a unifying element. New residential and office uses will front on the wetland and, as such, it becomes a visual amenity. A pedestrian walkway will encircle the wetland, connecting the area to other segments of the area's pedestrian system. The wetland also will serve as the one natural element that can lend character and charm to what will become a fully developed section of Highway 10.
