Download or read book Adaptive Golf Course Redevelopment written by Timothy Joseph Lysett and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unknown to much of the general public, the golf industry is currently in a state of ongoing retraction. One of the many outcomes of this retraction is the closing of hundreds of golf courses across the country, leaving many residential communities that where designed around these open green spaces lacking an integral part of their identity. The Calusa Country Club Community of Kendall Florida, is one such place. Like many closed golf courses throughout the United States, Calusa is currently caught in a state of limbo. As the centerpiece of a master-planned residential community developed in 1970, the golf course once served as the identifying amenity for the surrounding community. Today that identity stands in jeopardy as the course is now closed and its current owners intend to redevelop the property. As is typical for many residential golf course redevelopment projects, Calusa's future is clouded by competing stakeholder agendas and legal stalemates, both fueled by the proposed redevelopment's alteration of the physical, social and economic identity of its surrounding community. The current property owner's redevelopment proposal seeks to remove the open space that the golf course offers in favor of additional single-family homes. This intention removes one of the primary reasons why these residents chose to reside in a master planned golf community, specifically its close proximity to a manicured open space nessessitating an ongoing dialog between these stakeholders. It is at this junction within the continual dialog between this project's various stakeholders that this thesis interjects itself with the objective of presenting an alternative plan to that of the proposed redevelopment. This thesis aims to demonstrate the potential for residential golf course redevelopment projects to present balanced outcomes suited to the priorities of its various stakeholders while simultaneously maintaining the identity of the community and its connection to open space.

Download or read book Hole in One Or Lost in the Rough written by Lucas Riley Mortensen and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sport of golf is facing an existential crisis. Since the mid-2010s, there have been fewer players playing fewer rounds at fewer courses. In 2021 alone, 130 18-hole equivalent golf courses closed in the United States. This trend will continue to impact all types and sizes of communities across the country. A shuttered golf facility offers an opportunity for land use conversion and redevelopment. In built-out and developed communities, the opportunity to plan for and manage a golf facility's redevelopment is an exciting and important challenge. This paper reviews three shuttered golf courses in the Kansas City, Missouri metropolitan area and seeks to understand how each facility's respective community's land development code supported or opposed its redevelopment. This paper also profiles the history of golf in the United States with an emphasis on golf courses as tools of real estate development and wealth generation. This paper determines that, in the Kansas City, Missouri region, core golf courses without internally, integrated residential land uses are more likely to successfully redevelop with one or many new land uses. Golf courses with intentionally integrated 10 residential land uses may be more challenging to redevelop as proximity of land uses and existence of explicit and implied covenants.
Download or read book Reclaiming Brownfields written by Richard C. Hula and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental legacy of past industrial and agricultural development can simultaneously pose serious threats to human health and impede reuse of contaminated land. The urban landscape around the world is littered with sites contaminated with a variety of toxins produced by past use. Both public and private sector actors are often reluctant to make significant investments in properties that simultaneously pose significant potential human health issues, and may demand complex and very expensive cleanups. The chapters in this volume recognize that land and water contamination are now almost universally acknowledged to be key social, economic, and political issues. How multiple societies have attempted to craft and implement public policy to deal with these issues provides the central focus of the book. The volume is unique in that it provides a global comparative perspective on brownfield policy and examples of its use in a variety of countries.
