3. Reference library: a collection of books, pamphlets, periodicals <br /> for reference; slide collection; photographic collection <br /> 4. A space to store and display saps and records of the plants <br /> in the garden <br /> 3. Office or desk apace for those people working to carry out the <br /> directions of the center <br /> 6. Various service and storage spaces <br /> Picnicking could be accommodated in one or more new structures to <br /> be built for this use in another section of the park. This would <br /> compensate for the converted use of the existing structure. <br /> e. Parking space: additional parking apace is needed to better accommodate <br /> the people interested in visiting the garden- -this new parking space <br /> to be provided along Heights Boulevard. <br /> An interesting and important part of any change or addition to the garden <br /> is how is it to be accomplished and is it feasible in the present area. <br /> Also, what will be the coat and will it be justified by any new benefits? <br /> The additions and changes proposed for the Rhododendron Garden could provide <br /> great benefit at a relatively low coat. The vacation of the present Hendricks <br /> Park parking lot and its addition to the Rhododendron Garden would greatly <br /> enhance the garden. Thia moat valluable space is relatively open and <br /> would complement the existing open apace at the top of the hill. <br /> The existing picnic shelter would be converted to an information center <br /> and would become a principal feature of the garden. <br /> It is my recommendation that the schematic plan proposal as submitted <br /> by as and approved by the Rhododendron Garden Resource Committee at its <br /> meeting on February 18, 1985, be used to develop a new comprehensive plan <br /> for the Rhododendron Garden and that this be followed by a start on the <br /> construction to provide for a more integrated and expanded garden. <br />
