Whenever lighting is provided, it shall be so hooded or shielded as to reflect the light away from abutting or neighboring property including public rights-of- way. One standard tree of at least 3-inch diameter shall be planted on the lot for each 10 parking spaces. The location of each parking space and the direction of movement along the access driveways shall be indicated by painting upon the surface of the lot. A structurally sound wall or other abutment shall be installed and so placed around each side of the parking lot to insure that no part of an automobile either extends over or is capable of accidentally rolling across the property line of the parking lot.
