St. Edward's Church <br /> P�oposed Memorial Garden / Columbarium . <br /> A Memorial.Garden/Columbarium has been proposed as an integral component of the <br /> Church campils environment. The Memorial Garden is shown on the Concephlal Master <br /> Plan and is siivated on the south hillside adjacent to the Church.The intent of the <br /> Memorial Garden/Columbarium is to create a beautiful flowering garden that gently <br /> steps down the hillside and offers specially designed niches within the 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 froni the existing <br /> parking 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 lugher quality material, with the incorporation of a beautiful landscape <br /> � framework to give character and richness to this new environment. The added dishtrbed <br /> area for the proposed gardens wouid be 1-�fl8 square feet, as shown on the enclosed <br /> conceptual plan. �i�O <br /> � The terraced Memorial Garden would be supported by a series of shaped reta.ining 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 /> fiuther refinements. � <br />
