<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />be most important in some locations; while in other areas retaining <br />the visual resource values may come first. <br /> <br />2. Landscape Architecture, (LA), Objectives <br /> <br />The LA objectives should be the logical outcome of the LA analysis, <br />and a LA design, (Chapter 8) should be the logical product of the objectives. <br />The success of the final design will depend on how well the site analysis <br />has been done and how clearly the landscape architectural objectives <br />have been stated. These objectives should be prioritized and stated <br />as objectives, not design solutions. For example, an objective might <br />be "to retain the climate shelterbelt value of urban trees." The various <br />options for achieving this might include; moving the channel alignment, <br />changing the side slopes to retain trees, selective clearing to retain <br />the most functional trees or replanting with mature trees. The decision <br />to choose among these design options should be correlated with other <br />engineering factors in final design. <br /> <br />3. Documentation <br /> <br />Documentation of the site survey, analysis and objectives can be done <br />on several formats: reports, maps with notes, photo record with notes, <br />computer graphics or a combination of any of these. Often the analysis <br />and documentation can be done in a single process by mapping with <br />notes (See Figure 2-4). A photographic record of use and visual resource <br />value areas and critical viewsheds should be done for all channels in <br />urban areas or areas of projected future urban development. <br /> <br />2-33 <br />
