Final Review of an Urban Plaza and Parking Area
end
BACKGROUND:
Jerry Pate Design is requesting final review of a new urban plaza and parking area for the East Garden District hotel and development. Conceptual review was provided in August 2022 with consideration of the Board’s comments. The new plans show removal of the artificial turf and a plaza hardscaped with clay pavers, a decorative center piece of cobblestones, and raised plantings bordered with limestone-capped wall seating. A sugar kettle fountain is proposed for the center. Additionally, details on the hardscape and landscape for the eastern parking area have been included for the Board’s review.
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
