(3) or more smaller trees. Before construction, the following precautions shall be

proposed methods of protecting the plantings during construction.

that the maximum possible landscaping was preserved or relocated
through the DEVELOPMENT process.
5. Whenever the USE of the property to be developed or redeveloped will conflict
with the USE of adjoining property, there shall be an opaque planted screen
between the two (2) properties. The screen shall moderate the impact of noise,
light, aesthetic concerns, and traffic.
6. Fescue, brome/fescue, or other turf types shall be used in lieu of bluegrass where

view of the ADJACENT STREETS/ROADS. Berms may vary in height, depending
on location and proximity of existing trees, but shall have smooth transitions from
the top of the curb to the SETBACK line so as to not create snow traps. Grading
of berms shall not be lumpy or abrupt.
3. Landscaping techniques shall be used to alleviate the harsh visual appearance
that accompanies PARKING LOTS. At least seventy-five percent (75%) of the
length of the frontage of the PARKING LOT must be effectively SCREENED.
4. Loading, service, or storage areas shall be SCREENED with an opaque screen
that is an integral part of the BUILDING architecture. Chain -link fencing with slats,
fabric, or pallets is not an acceptable screening material. Plant material shall be
used to soften the appearance of the screen.
C. Landscaping requirements along roadway corridors.
1. Plantings along roadways shall be integrated with the landscaping of the rest of
the site.
2. A minimum LANDSCAPE SETBACK in accordance with Table 23.5 below shall be
included, to be measured from the existing or future RIGHT-OF-WAY at right
angles to the STREET/ROAD towards the interior of the LOT. The LANDSCAPE
SETBACK shall include five (5) shrubs (minimum size of five -gallon container) plus
either one (1) shade tree with a minimum two -and -one -half -inch -caliper (measured
six (6) feet above the surrounding ground) or one (1) coniferous tree with a
minimum height of six (6) feet for every forty (40) feet of STREET/ROAD frontage.
A mix of coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs shall be clustered or grouped
to avoid straight lines, with a maximum distance of one hundred (100) feet between
trees or groupings. The effectiveness of the screening along 1-25 and State
Highway 119 shall be increased by planting trees and shrubs in layered beds (two
[2] or more rows of plant material rather than a single row). No parking, storage,
fencing, or other STRUCTURES shall be permitted within the LANDSCAPE
SETBACK.

may approve the use of a temporary irrigation system for plants that can survive
without irrigation once established.
4. Soil in areas intended for plantings shall first be amended in order to loosen
compacted soil, improve the viability of plantings, and reduce the amount of
watering required.
5. Rock mulch or gravel shall not be placed within two (2) feet of required trees.
6. Landscaped areas shall be maintained by the owner/tenant of the property,

any required plantings that become diseased, infested, or otherwise unhealthy.
