• Public Open Space — A landscape buffer along Platte Park respects and enhances the existing open space experience for park users

• Ecology — The drought tolerant plant palette respects the park ecosystem by prohibiting invasive species establishment, while minimizing the need for supplemental irrigation

• Water Quality — A bio-swale intercepts all storm water runoff from the site

• Viewshed — View corridors are preserved within the community from South Platte River Parkway through the park foothills to improve visual connectivity of open space
