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