- Design sensitivity to site character
The facilities shall be designed and landscaped in such a manner that they are sensitive to the character of the site and surrounding properties. Unless it can be demonstrated by the applicant that an alternative design better meets the intent of this section, the facilities shall be designed with a curvilinear shape, shall be designed to complement the existing topography of the site, and/or shall be designed and landscaped in a manner that visually reduces their size, and supports growth of wetlands vegetation.
- BMP placement in landscape buffers
These facilities shall not be allowed within required landscape buffers along rights-of-way unless a waiver is granted by the zoning administrator.
- Landscaping for natural appearance
The facility shall be well landscaped with an emphasis on making the facility appear more natural than man-made, as determined by the zoning administrator.
- Structural screening requirement
The structural aspects (i.e., riser pipes, inlets, etc.) are hidden from public view and/or adjoining property owner's view, or adequately screened from these views by innovative structural design, berms, and/or landscaping.
- Waiver request requirements
In order for the zoning administrator to consider a waiver request, the applicant shall request a waiver in writing and shall present plans and documentation supporting the waiver request. The waiver request will not be approved unless the applicant can document topographical or unusual physical constraints on the property that require placement of the BMP within the right-of-way landscape area.
