The viewplanes should never be absolute. Some people believe we shouldn't have any viewplanes. I would be fine with some...

When I consider my usage of Citadel Hill, and all the people in my age group, it's a popular public space for picnics, or even a leisurely study space. I always brought my school work to the hill during sunny, non-windy days. As part of this atmosphere, it is nice to be able to see the water in between the downtown buildings -- but I need to acknowledge that it's the cityscape that is mostly contributing to this view's appeal.

There are simply way too many viewplanes. Limiting it to just a few, or even a couple, would still drive home the same point for anyone on the hill: yes...there is a harbour down there.
