o Public Open Space represents 15% of the property, meeting the requirement and <br />equates to a 33,000 sf community park. <br />Duane Border of Duane Border Design presented the landscape plans. Duane described the <br />public open space as the jewel of the project. The public open space will have an urban feel and <br />include vibrant landscape, seating walls and inviting spaces where the community can gather. <br />The fire lanes are designed with trees lining along the alley way to promote walkability, creating <br />a strong pedestrian environment.
