You don't get any bonus points for saving trees.
A walk crossing a drive is not continuous as required and is a safety issue.
New coniferous trees upwind of the restaurant or upwind of other coniferous trees serve no purpose. Those west of the restaurant are blocking the view to the pond. The two south of the service drive also serve no purpose.
West end of the PP has no winter wind protection.
Walk fails to connect to all 3 HCP parking spaces and fails to connect to the PP. Major error.
The PP does not have to be rectilinear.

Thank you for the comments. if i extend the walkway along the handicap parking to the plaza, would it be consider as a continuous walkway system?
