(a) Where a lot within a Retail Business District adjoins a Residential District, then a wall or fence of not less than seven feet in height shall be required, unless all residential property owners in the rear and on either side, as the case may be, abutting the retail development, waive, in writing, such requirements and the same be filed with the Village.
(b) Where a proposed building is to be located on a dead-end street with a turn-around, no wall of such proposed building, when measured along the projection of the center line of the street leading to such turn-around, shall extend more than 260 feet in distance from the center point of the subject turn-around.
(c) In addition to a wall or fence, there shall also be required a landscape buffer along the boundary with an adjoining Residential District. Such buffer shall contain deciduous and evergreen trees or shrubs sufficient to create a year-round visual barrier. The landscape strip shall be a minimum of ten feet wide and on the side adjacent to the residential property. All exposed surfaces of walls must be faced in brick or stone. The design of the landscape buffer shall take into consideration changes in topography which create increased views of the retail structure from the residential property.
(d) Where a lot within a Retail Business District adjoins a residential lot, the driveway for the commercial use shall not be located nearer to the residential lot line than twenty-five feet. There shall also be a landscape buffer between the driveway and the adjacent residential property. Such buffer shall contain deciduous and evergreen shrubs sufficient to create a year-round visual barrier but maintained so as not to create a traffic safety hazard for patrons entering and exiting the retail establishment. The landscape strip shall be a minimum of five feet wide and on the side adjacent to the residential property.
(e) All refuse storage and pick-up facilities shall be fenced, screened or landscaped to prevent the blowing or scattering of refuse and to provide an adequate visual barrier of the facilities from locations both on and off the site upon which they are located.
(f) All landscaping shall be in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1280.
