No, it is only problematic if you have a flowerbed that is split by the
boundary of the military base - this does not really make sense anyway.
If the flowerbed is fully contained within the military base then it is
OK. This has been established exactly for the reason to allow for, e.g.,
playgrounds within a residential area. This provides the possibility to
add some kind of level of detail. I am not particularly fond of that
but I think it reflects the current consensus.

Yep, exactly. We should stop digging ;)
