General Landscape Design and Planting Requirements. The following guidelines shall apply to the site landscaping:

The buffer shall be planted with masses and groupings of shade trees, ornamental trees, evergreen trees and shrubs. All plantings shall be installed according to accepted horticultural standards. At least 50% of the upper story trees and all understory trees shall be evergreens locally adaptable to the area. Such buffers shall be planted with evergreens and deciduous trees, subject to the approval or modification of the Planning Board.

All proposed deciduous trees in a buffer shall be of a two-and-one-half- to three-inch caliper, measured six inches from grade.

Upper story deciduous and evergreen trees should attain a height at maturity of minimum 60 feet. Upper story trees for high impact screens shall be spaced no closer than 30 feet on center.

Understory evergreen trees shall attain a height at maturity of 18 feet. Understory trees shall be spaced no wider than 10 feet on center.

No less than 75% of the plantings shall be evergreen trees with a minimum installed height of six feet. Evergreen shrubs shall reach a height at maturity of no less than three feet and shall be spaced no wider than five feet on center between plants. More than one type of evergreen species shall be used.

The buffer may be supplemented by a wall or fence for added privacy at the discretion of the Board. Said fence shall not exceed a six foot height. Where a fence is required, all plantings shall be placed along the outside perimeter of the fence but not closer than five feet from the outside property line, unless otherwise approved by the Board.

Where sidewalks are not required, street trees shall be located within the property line along a line five feet from and parallel to the street right-of-way line. The spacing of street trees shall be no farther than 50 feet on center. When trees are planted at predetermined intervals along streets, spacing shall depend on tree size, as directed by the designated municipal official.

The trees shall be planted so as not to interfere with utilities, roadways, sidewalks, sight easement or streetlights. Tree location, landscaping design and spacing plan shall be approved by the Board as part of the site plan or subdivision process. Furthermore, the planting of street trees shall also be subject to other such requirements pursuant to the requirements of the Airport Safety Zone which may preclude the planting of such trees along portions of the site's frontage.

Street tree type may vary depending on the overall effect desired. Depending upon the length of a street or frontage, more than one variety of street tree should be provided to create biodiversity and reduce the problems associated with a monoculture planting. Trees shall be planted in groupings of similar varieties. Trees of similar form, height and character along a roadway shall be used to promote uniformity and allow for a smooth visual transition between species.

Tree selection shall be based upon on-site conditions and tree suitability to those conditions.
