Please review! Thank you!

Questions:
1. Can the deciduous trees overlap the walkway?
2. Am I required to add any deciduous trees if I don't have to?
3. The program states that I can use building as wind break. In this case, can I use the cafe? Or should I add more trees?
4. If I need to add more coniferous trees, how many will be ideal and where? Do I need to do double rows since the wind direction is almost perpendicular to the layout?

Any comments will be much appreciated! :)

i think you need conif trees on the east side of the plaza to block the wind and decid trees on the south side for shade.......right?

The west side of the plaza is exposed to the wind.

Only 1 walk from the PP to the public walk is needed.
3 curb cuts shown. Only 1 allowed.
NW corner of the PP exposed to winter winds.

1. Can the deciduous trees overlap the walkway? Yes. See the tree diagram.
2. Am I required to add any deciduous trees if I don't have to? How could they be required if you don't have to?
3. The program states that I can use building as wind break. In this case, can I use the cafe? Or should I add more trees? Is the restaurant a building?
4. If I need to add more coniferous trees, how many will be ideal and where? See above.Do I need to do double rows since the wind direction is almost perpendicular to the layout? No.

It is not from the east. See the arrow on the plan. Shade is not in the program. If it is in the real exam, it depends on the wording.
