- ""-.. . .--.. . ~-, -~.- - park objectives, policies and guidelines can be implemented, resulting in the ultimate landscape framework. This landscape framework will accommodate settings for a wide variety of gardens, play areas, rest areas and gathering places. Public facilities are generally to be located within the meadow landscapes. Buildings are to be carefully integrated at edges between woods and meadows, providing an arboreal context within which the architecture should emerge. Public access will be provided throughout the woodland settings, although restricted to dedicated trails within the most natural and sensitive habitat conditions. In order for the sense of open space to be preserved and enhanced, created landscapes will need to be carefully designed. Large parking areas are to be avoided and parking is to be screened from primary view sheds. Straight development lines within the landscape should be avoided and natural curvilinear forms encouraged. Major public facilities are to be built a suitable distance from major perimeter roads so that the sense of open space predominates at the edges of the Bernal Property. An annual progress and assessment procedure is necessary to implement the Grand Park landscape structure. The scope and limits of each project implementation phase are to include as many open space elements as possible and follow the open space template established by this Specific Plan. Each phase of open space planting is to take into consideration the key view sheds from which the open space is experienced by the public. The sense of being within the Grand Park will be created by the system of plant communities, wildlife habitats and corridors, and the developed uses that are integrated into this setting (Figure 4-7) at a scale that does not overwhelm the natural landscape (Figure 4-8), and where all use areas are connected with trails and visual perspectives throughout the site.
