Article 16 Landscaping and Tree Protection 16-11 Trash Storage Area Screening

consider these factors noted above in determining whether the proposal complies with the intent of Sec. 16-10-2(A).

(D) Maintenance All required landscaping and screening must be maintained. If necessary to ensure the continued effectiveness and intended purpose of the screen, plantings that deteriorate or dies must be repaired or replaced during the next planting season, or within 6 months. Failure to maintain required landscaping and buffers is a violation of this ordinance (including the limbing of growing trees and the pruning of shrubs to encourage compact new growth). Plant materials must be located and maintained by the property owner, or property owner association, in such a manner that they do not overhang into utility easements or the fire hydrant access ways that are required by Sec. 16-10-2(B)(4). Access roads must be maintained so as to remain clear of all vegetation for a width of 20 feet and a height of 13 feet 6 inches to allow for emergency vehicle access. (E) Clear View of Intersections Bufferyards and visual screens may not interfere with sight lines at intersections. OA 05/03 September 19, 2005 16-11 Trash Storage Area Screening 16-11-1 Screening Methods (A) Required trash storage area screening may be achieved by designating an enclosed space for trash facilities within a principal building or within an accessory building such as a garage.

One side of the storage area must be furnished with an opaque, latchable gate.

(C) The screening walls required by this section must be planted with vines or surrounded with other landscape material.
