SD -
This is not landscape planting design.
Coniferous trees should never overlap paving. See the tree diagrams. You cannot walk or drive under them.
Why is there a walk to the service entry of the restaurant?
Missing a walk to the public walk.
Why is there a drive extending past the HCP parking? "minimize paving" is a program requirement.
Winter wind protection for the PP is incomplete.
New coniferous trees block the view of the pond from the restaurant.

SG-
107 should trace the edge of the display.
Leave sketch elements on when posting so we can see how you solved it.

Thank you so much for your very helpful input, much appreciated:
SD-
I understood all except: "Missing a walk to the public walk." - if by the public walk you mean the plaza, I understand the plaza to be equivalent to a walk but still I'm not sure exactly which location you are referring to - it's an interesting comment.

SG-
By "trace the edge of the display", I assume you mean be drawn closer to... My 107 contour line is 2.5' away from the edge of the display - which is one half the minimum allowable distance (5 feet) between the 1 foot intervals (to achieve the max. allowable 20% slope given in the program, since the edge of the platform is only 6 inches away from 106 and not 12). Any closer would create a steeper, non compliant slope - am I mistaken?

Thank you again for your diligent assistance!

I meant exactly what I said. Please read the program again. You are missing a required walk.

Any closer would create a steeper, non compliant slope - am I mistaken? VERY much so. Try drawing it in section.
