6. There is a need to enhance the buffer in this area as a backdrop to the peaceful garden area we're trying to <br /> create. Some deciduous trees should be planted here of a variety that can be trimmed at the bottom but will <br /> provide a full canopy(maple, for example). Plantings here will be in deference to a long-term project as we're <br /> not recommending planting mature trees. <br /> ps�y <br /> 7. Dru's Garden is a reflective area of solitude. It is considered a gem of the City and it honors the life of a very <br /> important individual. The garden has an abundance of beautiful flowers and plants which are cared for on an <br /> ongoing basis. One minor improvement which could improve the garden's overall "place" in the park would <br /> be rearranging the benches so they are symmetrical to the axis of the garden. Consideration should also be <br /> given to install additional signage that would inform trails users of the garden. <br /> 8. The topography in this area provides a natural overlook to the garden below. Trimming up the trees will <br /> enhance this view. There should be a vegetative buffer created along the south side of the picnic shelter(and <br /> all trash containers and other unsightly items need to be moved to the north or west side) to not distract from <br /> this area. The benches should be placed at the top of the hill in a pattern slightly askew from the trail yet <br /> clearly focusing on the garden below. Vegetation should be added on the south side of this area to further <br /> frame the view on the garden area. <br /> • <br /> .1114N W <br /> ,- <br /> 3 <br />
