or utility easements or structures and underground detention (unless so
designed for that purpose), or within traffic vision safety clearances.
However, where the logical location of proposed utilities would
compromise the desired effect, the Controlling Developer may solicit the
aid of the City’s Urban Forester in mediating an alternative.

apply to all Dwellings:
Version 5 012023

dbh. Along the west perimeter, landscaping commitments made by the
adjacent landowner shall be satisfied and shall count toward the
planting requirements.
2. Southern perimeter: There shall be a minimum thirty (30) foot buffer
yard from the southern property line made up of a tree preservation
area. When grading and drives allow, this buffer will be widened to
the extent possible.
3. Drainage infrastructure and swales/grading shall be permitted within
the buffer yards.
