We will plant shrubs used to define spaces or separate environments as a staggered double row whenever possible. This provides the significant depth especially necessary to separate environments such as parking areas from grassed fields and building entries. Limit shrub beds to a maximum of two feet wide per typical row of nursery stock plants, in order to minimize barked area and maximize live ground cover. Protection of Existing Trees We will protect significant trees during construction with a chain -link fence or plastic vinyl construction fence at the drip line. Install the protection fence prior to issuance of grading permit. Removal or destruction of fencing should be cause for a Stop Work Order until reviewed by City staff. Design for Screening and Separation We will provide a privacy fence along side and rear yards if adjoining single family zoning. This should be 6 feet high sight- obscuring wood (or equivalent) fence with exterior materials and colors consistent with building architecture. Note: See Landscape Plan and site plan provided separately OUTDOOR SPACE DESIGN We will provide outdoor space unusable for the adults and children of the town houses. Note: See Landscape Plan and site plan provided separately MISCELLANEOUS STRUCTURES /STREET FURNITURE LIGHTING We will reflect project architectural design considerations in all exterior lighting (i.e., distribution, intensity, and pattern). We will insure that maximum parking area light standard height is 20 feet or the height of the building; whichever is less. We will provide walkway and grounds lighting is 15 feet. Light fixture height is limited to enhance a sense of scale and enclosure for common areas at night. We will provide all lighting standards with glare cut -off features to avoid off -site spill -over. We will place fixtures so that light patterns overlap at a height of 7 feet which is sufficiently high to vertically illuminate a person's body. At hazardous locations, such as changes of grade, use lower level supplemental lighting or additional overhead units. Where low -level lighting (below 5 feet) is used, fixtures should be placed in such a way that they do not produce glare. Most eye levels occur between 3 feet 8 inches for wheelchair users and 6 feet for standing adults. Note: See site plan provided separately FENCING, WALLS, AND SCREENING We will provide all fencing that will reflect building architecture and be harmonious with adjacent project designs. Design perimeter fencing to be attractive from both sides. Note: See site plan provided separately 21
