<br />WS – Item # 1 <br /> <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Date: February 3, 2014 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Marty Asleson, Environmental Calender <br /> <br />Re: Civic Complex Island Landscaping <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City Council requested consideration of landscaping improvements to the Civic <br />Center Island. Staff is preparing some potential concepts for discussion at the work <br />session. <br /> <br />The current native landscape present on the island is a remnant of the oak woodlands that <br />covered the site prior to cons truction. Since the land was part of the regional park prior <br />to purchase , the architectural design attempted to blend the new construction in with the <br />existing natural environment. The landscape also minimized maintenance efforts and <br />requires little to n o irrigation. <br /> <br />Staff is evaluating concepts that would maintain the low impact design while providing <br />for more visual interest. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />Staff is requesting council comment on potential design options . <br />
