The overall character of the downtown<br />
district is defined by more<br />
than the buildings. Landscape features<br />
of the streetscape, such as the<br />
pattern of street trees and planting<br />
strips between the sidewalk and the<br />
curb, and choice of paving textures,<br />
form a significant part of the historic<br />
character of an area. Similarly, traditional<br />
landscape designs help to unify<br />
the district visually. These traditional<br />
patterns should be maintained as the<br />
district continues to evolve.<br />
<strong>Guidelines</strong><br />
v Maintain the established spacing<br />
pattern of street trees.<br />
v Preserve existing street trees<br />
whenever possible.<br />
v When a tree must be removed,<br />
or where there is a gap in the rhythm<br />
of street trees, install new street trees<br />
in locations that continue to express<br />
the established rhythm.<br />
v Maintain the existing street<br />
furniture palette that has been<br />
established in downtown <strong>Senatobia</strong>.<br />
Examples of street furnishings include<br />
benches, vintage lighting poles,<br />
bollards, trash receptacles, newspaper<br />
dispensers, bicycle racks, etc.<br />
v Maintain the high level of quality<br />
and detail in public space design<br />
that has been established in downtown<br />
<strong>Senatobia</strong>. Examples of quality<br />
design in the public realm include,<br />
but are not limited to, the Gabbert<br />
Park Site.<br />
