9,4 Vegotation <br />(includes Trees, Shrubs, Ground Covers, Hedges, Allees, Fields, Forests, <br />Planting Beds, etc.) <br />Refer to Sections 9.2, 9.31 9.5, 9.7, 9.81 9.9 and 9.10 for additional <br />Standards and Criteria that may apply. <br />Refer to Section 9.2.2 for items within this section which Shall be <br />preserved. Also included in this section Shall be the diverse variety of <br />trees, shrubs, bushes and other vegetation which may or may not be <br />indigenous to this region. Lists of such types of vegetation can be <br />found in lists and inventories which were published in plans and reports <br />of Blake Gardens. <br />2. Original or later contributing vegetation materials and features Shall <br />be retained in their existing configuration and Shall be maintained <br />through proper horticultural management practices. <br />3. Alteration of existing or addition of new vegetation materials and features <br />will be considered if they do not alter the basic concept of the historic <br />landscape design. <br />4. Deteriorated or missing vegetation materials and features Shall be <br />replaced with materials that match the original in size, shape, color, form <br />and texture. <br />5. When replacement of vegetation materials and features is necessary, it <br />Should be based on physical or documentary evidence and be <br />compatible with existing conditions. <br />6. If using the same vegetation material is not technically or economically <br />feasible, then compatible substitute vegetation materials may be <br />considered if they convey the same growth habit, form, foliage and <br />bloom characteristics as the historic plant. <br />7. Existing healthy vegetation material Shall be retained unless it is part of <br />a later non -compatible design or is volunteer vegetation inconsistent with <br />the original design. <br />8. Consideration for removal of existing healthy vegetation materials and <br />features will be given when it is in conflict with the original design intent of <br />the landscape, such as when an important vista has become overgrown <br />or when plants have grown out of scale with their intended purpose. <br />
