I agree - I am concerned with the importance being placed on grass lawns. Grass is a water hog and environmentally far less friendly than cottage style gardens and paths, especially when they are done with native species.

Thank you for your input. It has been forwarded to the HPC. The community provided a template for design guidelines that did not put a lot of emphasis on grass lawns. There are some southern and coastal grasses that require nearly zero water to remain alive and green. Therefore, lawns where not necessarily discouraged either. Thanks.
