ARTICLE III DISTRICTS AND SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO EACH DISTRICT B. There shall be a minimum of one (1) tree per each five thousand square feet (5,000’) of area within the lot (and these trees can be counted as the buffer trees noted above if a buffer is required). Preservation of natural tree growth is preferred over planting of new trees. C. Required trees shall be a minimum of three inches (3”) caliper at the time of planting and shall be located between the street and the leading edge of any building or in the landscape buffer area. Diameter measurements shall be taken six inches (6”) above grade. D. Landscaping may be moved in order to accommodate utility or drainage easements when a request for the change has been reviewed and recommended for approval by the Director of Planning. The new location shall match the size of the easement. E. In the event there is another Landscape Ordinance applicable to this site, the Ordinance with the highest standards shall apply. SECTION 7 – SCREENING A. A solid fence that completely obscures the view of the adjoining property (at a minimum height of six feet (6’)) shall be employed and maintained within three feet (3’) of side and rear property lines in which a non-residential use abuts any residential zoning district or use. Fence composition is limited to materials rountinely used in fence construction, i.e. wooden picket, brick, stone, pipe, concrete or other materials, that will completely obscure views. The use of a wooden picket privacy fence is acceptable provided that the fence completely obscures the view of commercial activities and that permanent provisions for the maintenance of the fence are provided. Fences composed of materials that are normally not associated with a fence such as used tires, car parts, or other non-standard new or used materials are prohibited in all zoning districts. 1. If adjacent owners prefer that no fence be placed between abutting properties they must submit a letter (stating their preference) to the Director of Planning. This information shall serve as a waiver of the requirement for a fence. On sites adjacent to multiple neighbors the request must be unanimous in support of the waiver. The requirement for construction of a fence may be reviewed by the Board of Adjustments and Appeals as a variance. B. Fence height measurements are taken at the mean (average) grade height. C. Fences used for screening may be reduced to a height of four feet (4”) between the setback line and property line at the discretion of the Director of Planning when the Director of Planning determines the reduction is beneficial to the adjacent uses.
