New plant materials, fencing, walkways, <br />streetlights, signs and benches shall be compatible with the character of the neighborhood in size, <br />scale, material and color. Street lighting should be maintained at levels recommended by the <br />Illumination Engineering Society. Light sources must have spectral distribution in all color <br />ranges. Sources and light posts should be uniform throughout the District: Lamp fixtures and <br />supporting posts must be similar in proportion, scale and detail to existing historic lamps (see <br />appendix) or a suitable replacement which closely duplicates the standard in size, shape, style and <br />appearance; i.e., Herwig Lighting Company standard or similar.

Large, deep - <br />rooted trees and shrubs as well as fast spreading ground cover should be used when planting for <br />erosion control. As much natural vegetation as possible should be preserved. If large shrubs <br />become unsightly, they should be cut back and allowed to rejuvenate. Dead and diseased material <br />should be selectively removed. Do not dump leaves and grass clippings on planted slopes as this <br />
