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 replaced <br /> with materials that match the original in size, shape, color, form and <br /> texture. <br /> 5. When replacement of vegetation materials or features is necessary, it <br /> should be based on physical or documentary evidence. <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 bloom <br /> characteristics as the historic plant. <br /> 7. Existing healthy vegetation material shall be retained unless it is part of a <br /> 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 <br /> of 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 /> 9. Maintenance of, removal of, and additions of vegetation materials and <br /> features should consider maintaining existing or intended vistas and <br /> spaces, screening intrusions, creating new spaces where appropriate and <br /> maintaining defined areas of shade and sun. <br /> 10. Invasive vegetation shall be removed whenever technically feasible and <br /> shall be replaced with appropriate vegetation consistent with the original <br /> design of the park and with current factors such as security, ecological <br /> conditions and wildlife management practices. <br /> 11. Hazardous plants or portions of plants should be removed promptly. <br /> 12. Plants with diseases that are difficult or not practical to control or cure <br /> should be removed promptly to prevent their infection of other plants. <br /> 13. Mutilated or distorted plants should be removed. <br /> 14 Plant replacements should be added on a schedule that will assure a <br /> continuity in the landscape design. <br />
