M A S T E R P L A N F O R L W D P <br /> MATERIALS AND DESIGN ELEMENTS <br /> MATERIAL AND DESIGN ELEMENT GOALS <br /> • Treatment of the two parks as one site, in all materials and elements. <br /> • Park design elements that are harmonious with the elements of downtown and <br /> the immediate neighborhood, including the FAC and the existing Delucchi Park <br /> restroom building. <br /> SPECIFICS <br /> • Paving: <br /> • For all public high-use areas and primary pathways, paving shall be decorative <br /> concrete with integral color, designed to support light vehicles. May be <br /> poured-in-place, with varying decorative finishes and scoring, and/or unit <br /> pavers. Shall include areas of porous or pervious pavements, to support <br /> overall measures of stormwater management. <br /> • For secondary pathways, optional material may include stabilized decomposed <br /> granite, contained by headers. <br /> • Emergency vehicle access ways (EVAWs):Vehicular concrete or grasscrete-type <br /> surface; minimum 10 feet width. Suitable for use in emergencies and for <br /> maintenance. <br /> • Lighting: All lighting to be "night-sky-friendly," with neighbor-respecting shields. <br /> Accent lighting at such locations as Bandstand, flagpoles, signage, and major art <br /> installations. Energy-efficient fixtures, esthetically harmonious with fixtures at <br /> the Firehouse Arts Center, and parking lot. <br /> • Walls and seatwalls: Poured-in-place concrete with integral color, and granite <br /> from stone salvaged from the site. Seatwalls capped with pre-cast concrete caps. <br /> • Street furniture, bollards, planter pots, informational and wayfaring signage, etc.: <br /> Style harmonious with similar elements at the Firehouse Arts Center. <br /> • Planting: Low-maintenance, readily available, suitable for public intensive use, <br /> and (primarily) drought-tolerant. (Note: Riparian planting within Delucchi Park <br /> will be different from planting in public park areas. See Appendix A.) <br /> • Planting in time of drought: When significant water reduction is required, <br /> planting operations may need to be postponed. Minimal planting may include: <br /> • Installation of trees only, with mulch in non-lawn areas, and native grasses <br /> (to prevent soil erosion) in lawn areas. <br /> GUIDELINES <br /> 24 <br />
