and landscape spaces shall also include the entirety of the riverbank as well as the area lying between the roadway of
<br />Riverside Drive up to and including the riverbank and cut stone wall along the riverbank.
<br />3. Original or later contributing special organizational features shall be retained in their existing configuration and shall
<br />be maintained through proper drainage, access and erosion control, pruning and removal of invasive vegetation or
<br />otherwise using recognized horticultural and soil management practices.
<br />4. Alteration of existing or addition of new spatial organisational features will be considered if they do not alter the basic
<br />concept of the historic landscape design.
<br />5. Deteriorated or missing spatial organizational features shall be replaced with features that match the original in form,
<br />shape, color and texture.
<br />6. When replacement of features is necessary, it should be based on physical or documentary evidence.
<br />7. If using the same material is not technically or economically feasible, then compatible substitute materials may be
<br />considered.
<br />8. Important visual connections between spaces within the landscape shall be retained by maintaining vegetation,
<br />circulation and topography features which contribute to those visual relationships.
<br />9. The historic spatial and functional relationship of circulation systems, water features and structures shall be preserved
<br />by maintaining the massing of adjacent vegetation, vistas, or other associated features.
<br />10. Maintenance of removal or, and additions of vegetation materials and elements should consider maintaining existing
<br />or intended vistas and spaces, screening intrusions, creating new spaces where appropriate and maintaining defined
<br />areas of shade and sun.
<br />11. The form and shape of individual spaces and their associated vertical element shall be retained in order to preserve the
<br />historic relationships of the landscape. Examples include the relationship between open fields and hedgerows or the
<br />width and length of an allee.
<br />12. Moving or demolishing historic structures that would alter spatial and visual relationships in the landscape
<br />shall not be allowed.
<br />13. Construction of new structures that would alter historic spatial and visual relationships in the landscape shall not be
<br />allowed.
<br />14. Intrusive views or new construction may be screened with compatible fencing or plant material so long as the
<br />screening would not detract from the historic character of the landscape.
<br />9.3 Topography (includes the Shape, Slope, Elevation, Contour of landforms and Ground Plane, etc.) Refer to Sections 9.2, 9.4,
<br />9.5, 9.8, 9.9 and 9.10 for additional Standard and Criteria that may apply.
<br />I. All locations and items listed in 9.2.2 shall also apply to this section and shall be preserved.
<br />2. Original or later contributing topographical features shall be retained in their existing configuration and shall be
<br />maintained through proper drainage, access and erosion control, and recognized soil management practices.
<br />3. Alteration of existing or addition to new topographical features will be considered if they do not later the basic
<br />concept of the historic landscape design.
<br />4. Natural features (e.g. rock outcroppings) which are integrated into the landscape shall be treated as part of the overall
<br />design and shall be retained.
<br />5. Deteriorated or missing materials or features shall be replaced with materials that match the original in form, shape,
<br />color and texture.
<br />6. When replacement of materials or features is necessary, it should be based on physical or documentary evidence.
<br />7. If using the same material is not technically or economically feasible, then compatible substitute materials may be
<br />considered.
<br />8. Whenever appropriate, plant materials, rather than structural materials should be used to solve erosion problems.
<br />Repair of WPA island and slough stone construction projects is strongly encouraged.
<br />9.4 Vegetation (includes Trees, Shrubs, Ground Covers, Hedges, Allees, Fields, Forests, Planting Beds, eta.)
<br />Refer to Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.5, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, and 9.10 for additional Standards and Criteria that may apply.
<br />1. Refer to Section 9.2.2 for items within this section which shall be preserved. Also included in this section shall be the
<br />diverse variety of trees, shrubs, bushes and other vegetation which may or may not be indigenous to this region. List
<br />of such types of vegetation can be in lists and inventories which were published in the annual reports of both the City
<br />of South Bend and the South Bend Park Commissions from the years 1910 to 1940.
<br />2. Original or later contributing vegetation materials and features shall be retained in their existing configuration and
<br />shall be maintained through proper horticultural management practices.
<br />3. Alteration of existing or addition of new vegetation materials and features will be considered if they do not alter the
<br />basic concept of the historic landscape design.
<br />4. Deteriorated or missing materials or features shall be replaced with materials that match the original in form, shape,
<br />color and texture.
<br />5. When replacement of vegetation materials or features is necessary, it should be based on physical or documentary
<br />evidence.
