Alice 1.7 map OB potential build site???

The server's old enough at this point that a fair number of people are quite far along, and might be looking to contribute to people who might not be able or inclined to go down various tech trees for whatever reason, and who wish to donate or contribute to other current players, or new members of the community who might need a helping hand, or insight on how modded minecraft works.
With that in mind, and with the previous experience of the OB (or outer base), I've currently decided to head up the Alice 1.7 OB project, with the blessing/support of mods/admins. Anyone who feels they wish to contribute or build things to help others out are free to contribute, so long as it doesn't interfere with other contributors efforts. Path has generously offered to create a teleport between spawn and wherever OB will be placed, for ease of transport.
I am aware LordRedstone tried to start an OB up a little while ago, but everyone says he hasn't played in a month, so I assume he's defaulted on his project.

As for ground rules, off the top of my head in no particular priority:
1 - no griefing (obviously)
2 - no sabotaging of other people's work
3 - have respect for space, either in regards to what's been built, or how much space you use
4 - try to be aesthetically acceptable, nothing horrible looking unless it's unavoidable
5 - try to remain within the bounds established at the outset, overall boundary may be increased as need arises.
6 - I will head up the overall project, subject to the authority of the mods/admins. Those who wish to contribute/build on site should try to speak to me first so that I can feng shui your contribution into the OB as a whole, rather than things being in disorganized heaps everywhere. I may, and probably will, appoint a second to manage things when I am not online.
7 - all rules are subordinate to server's rules.

I may end up amending things, as literally this whole idea for me to head this up started just today, so none of this is super permanent, and will be smoothed out as things progress.

Which leads us to PHASE ONE of the project: build site.
For the next ~24 hours, anyone who replies to this post can vote for what biome/locale/area they'd like to see the OB placed.
Would you like to see OB in a desert? In a forest? In a particular biome, such as magical forest? On top of a floating slime island? At the bottom of the ocean in the middle of nowhere?
Only excluded locations are the Nether/End/Corrupted sector, as well as near Spawn or anywhere near an established base.
So, below, state where you'd like to see OB built, and if you feel like it, what overall style you'd maybe like OB to have, such as castle/oriental/western/etc. for motif, and I'll do my best to accommodate, but bear in mind final choices are up to me if votes don't lead to a particular location.
PHASE ONE will be complete when location is chosen and prepared for contributions, at which point I will make a separate post regarding PHASE TWO, which will be how and where you can contribute to OB, if you are so inclined.

Thank you for the opportunity and your time, and if you have any questions or concerns let me know either in this post, or ingame when I'm online.

 

Ok, looking over posts, consensus seems to be a plains/pasture biome. I'm told there's a worldmap available, so a link to it would be appreciated, as it would save me some time from scouting it out manually. If I can find such a biome near a lavender or sakura biome, I will attempt to do so, but I'm also going to be looking around to see if any established bases are in the area, so as not to complicate matters, if there's a way to know where/how far away claims are from any area, that'd be good information to have as well.
Bear in mind this OB will, in all likelihood, be significantly larger than in previous iterations. This is so that cpu intensive systems can be spread out to minimize lag for any players nearby.
I'm not sure how big exactly, because my building style tends to take the topography and area into account, so I'll be playing by ear. As for motif, consensus seems to lean for factory/futuristic and/or pastoral/farmland. To best ameliorate these two motifs, I've decided that areas within a certain boundary will be more technological, and areas outside the bounds will be more agrarian.
As for project team, I haven't decided on a second yet, as that choice will probably grow organically from whoever seems the most knowledgeable/eager/consistent/artistic individual who volunteers. LordRedstone has chimed in and given his support, so he will be on the team as a consultant, however past that will require regular playtime if he is so inclined.
Aside from that, all choices will be up to me and my second, with council form LordRedstone if he wants to contribute. Additional members may be chosen depending on workload/interest/etc., but who's on the team is up to me, and will be based on observed effort, and not on playing favorites.
If you feel there's anything I've overlooked, please don't hesitate to post or talk to me in server. This is the first server-wide project I've headed up, so I'm bound to make mistakes or not take something into account. Constructive criticism is appreciated, but bear in mind I have a certain style of doing things that's much more deliberative than others, and if it seems I'm dragging my feet on anything, it may just be I'm thinking out all the angles to make sure something's done right the first time, rather than having to rip up and do things over.
Anyway, I'll let the voting process play out for another few hours, then start work.
