Abstract

The purpose of this thesis, then, is to demonstrate an approach to land development which takes into consideration a wide range of socio-economic-cultural-physical factors in investigating, analyzing and determining feasibility of a plan for a new community, the unique feature being the reclamation of a parcel of land which would normally be by-passed by the growth patterns and economic forces in effect today; to demonstrate a rationale in arriving at a development plan for a new community, situated on the site of an abandoned gravel pit, with this man-made lake as a focus of a water-oriented community within commuting distance of all major commercial, industrial and employment centers.
