A. Landscape plans should be compatible with the character of the site and surrounding developed properties. Native or natural-appearing vegetation, with generally rounded, natural forms, should be placed to appear as loose, informal clusters.

B. Landscape plans shall include appropriate planting to soften or screen the appearance of structures as seen from off-site locations and shall include appropriate screening for architectural elements, such as building foundations, deck supports and retaining walls, that cannot be mitigated through architectural design.

C. Landscape plans should provide privacy between properties. Choice of landscape materials should take into consideration the future impact which new planting may have in significantly obstructing views from nearby dwellings.

D. Landscape plans shall include appropriate planting to repair, reseed and/or replant disturbed areas to prevent erosion. (Ord. 90-5 § 2, 1990.)
