St. Edward's Church <br /> Proposed Memorial Garden / Columbarium <br /> A Memorial Garden/Columbarium has been proposed as an integral component of the <br /> Church campus environment. The Memarial Garden is shown on the Conceptual Master <br /> Plan and is situated on the south lullside adjacent to the Cht�rch. The intent of the <br /> Memorial Garden/ Columbarium is to create a beautifiil flowering garden th�t gently <br /> steps down the hillside and offers specially designed ruches within tlle wall and paveinent <br /> for the containment of ashes, in vaults, of parishioners that have passed on. The terraced <br /> garden would be the focal point of an area that would be converted from the existing <br /> parkulg lot to a more defined garden courtyard space. Cars would still be able to park in <br /> this courtyard. But, the intent is that the space would become a multi-use space capable <br /> of supporting outdoor events. It is also intended that the pavement be upgraded in the <br /> future to a much higher quality material, with the incorporation of a beautiful landscape <br /> framework to give character and richness to this new environment. The added dishubed <br /> area for the proposed gardens would be 1=�9 square feet, as shown on the enclosed <br /> conceptual plan. �i�'� <br /> The terraced Memorial Garden would be supported by a series of shaped retaining walls <br /> that are indicated on the plan. Since the garden is at the base of the hill and faces the <br /> church,the garden is invisible to neighboring properties, and is at least 50 feet from any <br /> neighboring property line. The plan as presented is a conceptual plan and is subject to <br /> further refinements. <br />
