Most mature existing trees often enhance the overall <br /> character of the street and individual property. Whenever feasible, an <br /> arborist/forester, or landscape architect should be consulted to determine <br /> health, size, species, and safety issues related to preserving existing trees. <br /> (C) Landscaping, including lawns and gardens, should harmonize with the <br /> natural terrain and character of the area. <br /> (D) Landscaping should include a variety of native plant materials that provide <br /> interest in all seasons. Plant materials should provide seasonal interest to <br /> add color, variety, and visual interest to the home throughout the year. <br /> (E) Perennial plantings that provide a variety of seasonal bloom periods <br /> should be incorporated, where feasible, into front yard planting schemes. <br /> (F) Landscaping should respect and complement the architecture, especially <br /> the front door, porch, windows, and steps. Plantings should not obscure <br /> architectural elements or views to and from the street. <br /> (G) Steeply-sloped yards should incorporate a slope retention element of either <br /> a small retaining wall with steps as a transition to the sidewalk or ground <br /> cover/low shrub massings. <br /> (H) Front yards with slopes that do not require a retaining wall should be <br /> landscaped with groundcovers or low shrub massings to help prevent <br /> erosion and reduce maintenance. <br /> (1) Decorative walls, low fences, and hedges should be used sparingly in the <br /> front and side yard unless needed for grade transition purposes or designed <br /> as part of an overall landscape concept or theme. When utilized, <br /> decorative walls, fences, or hedges must not exceed four feet (4') in height <br /> along the front and side property lines that face the streets. <br /> 20 <br />
