In addition, it recognizes the citizens of the City <br /> of Scottsdale as a driving force behind the search for an alternative <br /> flood control solution to the traditional and previously accepted method <br /> exercised by engineers for many years before the Indian Bend .Wash Greenbelt <br /> came to fruition. <br /> One of the most important features of this project was Lhe application of <br /> the City's floodplain ordinance. This model ordinance allowed the City <br /> to effectively pursue a policy of land acquisition and development within <br /> the Indian Bend Wash and put '!teeth" into the City's right-of-way program. <br /> It introduces the viewer to the many social and recreational benefits of <br /> a greenbelt park system of open spaces and passive and active recreational <br /> areas that bring residents together, as opposed to a concrete channel <br /> solution that would have physically, as well as psychologically, divided <br /> the residents of Scottsdale. <br /> (~f~. 6~ <br /> <br /> - EXHIBIT C 'O"~~"~ <br /> 3939 CI1'IC CENTER PLAZA ¦ SCOTTSLALE, ARJ.OXA 8525] ¦ PHONE (602) 994-2521 <br /> <br />
