Views/Tree Preservation/Buffers • Existing Trees Provide Screening and Should be Preserved as Much as Possible • Where There are Few/No Trees, New Tree Buffers Should be Planted • Better to Minimize Long Strings of Units and Use Mews, Greens, etc. to Maximize Views Through Site Preservation of Existing Trees Planting of New Evergreen Buffers BloomInMV.com Torti Gallas and Partners
Connections • Questions About Appropriateness of Connecting to Existing Neighborhoods: • No Street Connections are Proposed • Need to Control Pedestrian Connections so There are No Yard Cut-Throughs • Existing Fence Will be Retained and Pedestrian Path Connections Will be Provided BloomInMV.com Torti Gallas and Partners
