Appendix B <br />Question 3 - Write-in Answers <br />x Natural plantings will end up weeds. The picture example looks unkempt. And no ground art! <br />Keep the children across the street in the playground. <br />x If you do a farmers market or outdoor music or art festival then where do people park for that ? <br />Plantings near the basement doors under lulus and lakeshore interiors could spruce up that end of <br />the parking lot <br />x Maximize parking and beautify by cutting into embankment on west and northwest, adding <br />retaining wall and plantings. That slope is difficult to mow, never looks good and collects trash. <br />A number of the social events suggested have in the past, and could again in the future , utilize <br />the adjacent park space and the street between the park and the parking lot. This lot fills up now <br />and really nees to maximize the parking space as its primary function. <br />x It would be nice to somehow tie it into the nearby playground and convey the natural beauty of <br />the area and of Lake Minnetonka. Navarre could use a good gathering place such as Wayzata's <br />new boardwalk with fountains, greenery and such. <br />x Incorporate with the park next door—maybe the plantings and seating can be in combination. <br />x flexible space natural plantings <br />x 1. I would rather have "natural shade" in the forms of trees, rather than man-made shade <br />structures. 2. EV charging (TESLA supercharging!) would be great since those individuals <br />need to "hang out" for a time. 3. A decorative low "wall" (or consistent landscaping) around the <br />exterior would better mark the area. We could tie in the municipal lot with Lunds and Byerlys if <br />the "wall" were copied around their parking lot by the sidewalk. Navarre largely lacks a cohesive <br />look, or a unifying theme. 4. More trees and landscaping, please. <br />x Seriously. The Navarre area does not need any farmer's markets, etc. The parking area should <br />remain for parking and yet, it should be beautified with all of the boxes I checked previously. <br />The markets are in Mound along with the gardens, etc. I would like to see a ton of year 'round <br />gorgeous landscaping and Christmas lights. <br />x not many curbs due to snow plowing. no pavers because they chip and crack and with the slope of <br />the Parking Lot they would get filled with debris. <br />x I think if you resurface and do the striping---it would then be perfect. Trying to beautify the <br />parking lot would take away from the atmosphere of the area and be an expense the citizens do <br />not need. A small farmers market once a week would be OK but not necessary as there are <br />many other farmers markets close by. Lund's and Byerly's do not need additional produce to <br />compete with and we do not want to lose our convenient grocery store. <br />x None of the above. Simple, reconstruct of existing. <br />x Permeable paving is good if it will stand up to cars turning tight corners. <br />x Resurface and striped parking. <br />x Good painting stipes to delineate car spaces is a preference. <br />x This lot is an open canvas and should be a one and done vision from the city. A 2 level lot for part <br />of the lot with an open area to be used for community event. Lots of plantings, dumpster <br />enclosures and electric charging are a few improvements that need to be done
