Staff presented a draft site plan and a list of salt- and drought-tolerant plants for Kitty Stewart Park, and asked for commissioner and public input. A resident asked, "Are there palm trees that are included in this?" and staff confirmed palm species would be included in select locations; staff also cautioned to avoid plants vulnerable to a parasitic weed affecting beach sunflower and railroad vine.
Commissioners discussed sight triangles, ADA connections and small-species palms that remain low-maintenance. Staff said restroom production drawings were being finalized with the structural engineer and that once finalized the foundation work can begin before restroom delivery to expedite installation.
