(1) Landscaping shall be installed in Front Yards between the front line of the house and the Sidewalk on the entire width of the Lot excluding the driveway. On Corner Lots, Landscaping shall be installed in all areas between the Sidewalk and the side line of the house between the front property line and the rear property line which are visible from the public Right-of-way.

(2) Landscaping shall include at least one tree and a combination of lawn, shrubs or groundcover. Deciduous trees shall be a minimum size of two-inch caliper. Conifer trees shall be at least six feet in height. A minimum of 30 percent of the entire Front Yard shall be live plant material, not including tree canopies. Live plant material percentages are determined by the size of the plant at full growth, not at planting. Groundcover may include vegetative vines, low-spreading shrubs, or annual or perennial flowering or foliage plants, mineral or nonliving organic permeable material, Decorative Dirt, or artificial turf that meets the standards in Section 7-2-127. Mineral groundcover may include such materials as rocks, boulders, gravel, or brick over sand. Artificial turf may be counted toward the required live plant material.

(3) At the time the water supply line to a house is installed, the builder shall furnish and install a stop-and-waste valve with an access sleeve and capped mainline to the surface to facilitate future sprinkler system installation. The stop-and-waste valve may also be located inside the home with a mainline extended to the exterior of the foundation wall and capped.

(4) On Lots over one-half acre in size, Landscaping shall only be required on 80 feet of Street Frontage to the depth of the Front Yard setback. On Corner Lots one-half acre or larger, 80 feet of Frontage shall be landscaped on each Street. The 80-foot Frontage may include customary access drives.

(5) In addition to the standards listed above, all new Single Unit Dwellings, Twin Homes, and Two Unit Dwellings shall follow the standards in Section 7-16-104.
