Latest version.
  • A. 
    For projects being developed in accordance with §§ 85-652 through 85-668, a landscape plan compatible with the specifications contained herein shall be submitted in conjunction with the project. Such plan shall be drawn to scale, include dimensions and distances, and clearly delineate all existing and proposed vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian movement, including parking. The location, size and description of all landscaping materials shall be indicated. Landscape plans shall be reviewed for adequate screening and buffering of residential uses.
    B. 
    For the Hoover Court Area, a twenty-foot landscape buffer is required from the Hoover Court right-of-way.
    C. 
    The following requirement shall apply:
    (1) 
    For those preexisting nonconforming uses which contain outdoor storage areas in front yards along the corridor, an evergreen hedge or buffer of at least 42 inches in height shall be planted to shield outdoor storage areas from view to the maximum extent practicable, and must be designed so as not to impede sight distance at access points, including adjacent side streets on corner lots.
    (2) 
    Existing "significant" trees shall be preserved where feasible. Noteworthy trees were inventoried as part of the Land Use Plan for Mastic and Shirley Phase II and a figure illustrating the location of significant trees is included in the report.
