The winding drive will <br />enhance the park experience and aid in the preservation of existing oak and cedar <br />trees in this area of the park. Preservation of significant trees should be of <br />paramount importance in laying out the entry drive. <br /> <br />· The existing two-track road alignment should be utilized for the majority of the paved <br />segment of the entry drive to further preserve trees and other natural features. <br /> <br />· As the terrain flattens, the drive should transition to a 20-foot wide gravel drive to <br />further enhance the rural character of the park and the sense of separation from <br />urban character. <br /> <br />· This transition could be further marked with a simple grouping of large stones <br />adjacent to the road, which would further reinforce the design aesthetic. <br /> <br />· The gravel material should be a crushed limestone material native to central Texas <br />that is suitable for vehicular traffic. <br /> <br />· The layout of the gravel drive should be aligned to follow the northern perimeter of <br />the existing meadow to maximize views of the meadow to the south and the wooded <br />areas to the north. In addition, this layout will preserve views of the meadow from <br />the building site. <br /> <br />.:. PARKING LOT <br /> <br />The parking lot should continue to enhance a rural park character. It should blend with <br />the surrounding landscape and topography and minimize the removal of trees. An <br />informal pocket parking style meandering around existing trees is preferred to a typical <br />single mass parking lot.
