Natural landforms provide visual interest.<br />
Natural vegetation and landforms can screen and de-emphasize utilities and<br />
industrial features of the landscape.<br />

Incorporate natural landforms.<br />
Shape earth forms (berms, troughs) for<br />
screening (and surface water management<br />
where necessary) to emulate the generally<br />
fl at or gently sloping landform of the presett<br />
lement landscape. Unnatural-looking<br />
landforms should be avoided. As various<br />
areas develop with residential, commercial<br />
or industrial uses, they should incorporate<br />
natural land forms to minimize mass grading<br />
and soil compaction, and emulate the natural<br />
landscape aesthetic. Including native and<br />
adapted species with natural landforms can<br />
further enhance the views and character of<br />
the <strong>District</strong>.<br />
