In the first fifty (50) feet south of the property line adjacent to the single family residential subdivision currently known as "Bentley Oaks" and west of the storm water detention pond, existing vegetation, trees and mounding will be preserved. In those areas where existing vegetation is either absent, diseased, dead or containing invasive species and mounding is not present in the area, a three (3) to five (5) foot earthen berm will be constructed with two (2) rows of Norway Green Spruce evergreen trees, twenty (20) feet on center with staggered spacing. In the first forty (40) feet immediately south of the property line adjacent to the storm water detention pond in the Bentley Oaks subdivision, there will be a tree preservation area (the "Tree Preservation Area ") subject to the installation of required storm water drainage facilities for the detention pond. In those areas of this tree preservation area outside of the regulated drain where existing vegetation is either absent, diseased, dead or containing invasive species, Norway Green Spruce evergreen trees will be Page 12 Version 3 September 11, 2012 planted to fill the gaps in vegetation. To the extent that compliance with the requirements and provisions of the Hamilton County Stormwater Management Technical Standards Manual, Hamilton County stormwater and drain regulations and all other applicable State and local statutes, regulations or orders governing stormwater drainage and legal drains requires the removal of trees and /or vegetation and precludes the planting of any new trees, the owner of the real estate (the "South Adjacent Owner ") located immediately south of the Bentley Oaks detention pond will plant or cause to be planted Norway Green Spruce trees on those lots located in the Bentley Oaks subdivision immediately adjacent to the area that has been cleared of trees and vegetation. The quantity, configuration and location of the Norway Green Spruce to be planted will be approved by the Director and the Urban Forester as a part of the landscape plan approved for the initial development of the Real Estate adjacent to the Bentley Oaks detention pond by the South Adjacent Owner. During the first year following planting or replanting (if applicable), if a tree dies or becomes diseased, then the South Adjacent Owner will replace the tree or trees with Norway Green Spruce trees in compliance with Section 6.2 B. above. Thereafter, the maintenance and replacement of the trees planted will be the sole responsibility of the affected lot owner. The initial planting and replacement of the Norway Green Spruce trees will be subject to the reasonable approval and consent of the affected lot owner for access, planting and replacement. If the lot owner refuses or is otherwise unwilling to provide such approval and consent, then the South Adjacent Owner will be relieved of these planting and replacement obligations. In the first fifty (50) feet of the Real Estate east of the property line adjacent to the single family residential subdivision currently known as "The Parks of Springmill ", the existing vegetation and trees will be preserved and in those areas where existing vegetation is either absent, diseased, dead or containing invasive species, the existing vegetation will be supplemented by either one (1) row or two (2) rows of Norway Green Spruce evergreen trees, twenty (20) feet on center with staggered spacing, as necessary to fill the gaps. DRY DETENTION BUFFER AREA: Subject to the installation and maintenance of storm water facilities, equipment and other related improvements and construction, there will be dry detention - depressed area of approximately fifty -six (56) feet in width for storm water drainage purposes immediately adjacent to the fifty (50) foot landscape buffer described above which is adjacent to the Bentley Oaks and The Parks of Springmill subdivisions. Page 13 Version 3 September 11, 2012 b. West Property Line Adjacent to City Property. The area of Real Estate located on the west property line extending approximately two hundred twenty (220) feet south from the right -of -way line of 136th Street, which is adjacent to the real estate owned by the City of Carmel and used for a water utility pumping station, will be a continuation of the landscaping and mounding to be installed for the 136th Streetscape with four (4) ornamental trees and ten (10 shrubs for each one hundred (100) linear feet. c. Maintenance. The owner(s) of the property containing the landscape buffers and the Tree Preservation Area provided for above, will be responsible for the maintenance of the vegetation and landscaping located within the landscape buffers; which includes, but is not limited to, replacing dead, diseased, or overgrown vegetation with the same or suitable substitute species, mowing or mulching (as applicable) and keeping the area free of refuse, debris, rank vegetation and weeds.
