(B) Spacing of plant material. All plant material required by this article shall be installed in such a manner that the spacing between plantings achieves the intent of the required buffer type. While a design that appears to be the most natural is desired, the spacing of plant material must be sufficiently distributed throughout the buffer strip to achieve the intent of this article and provide both visual and physical separation between uses.
(C) Maintenance. Any fence, earthen berm, or plant material used for buffer strip screening shall be maintained in sound condition by the buffer strip provider. Proper maintenance of plant material includes regular mulching, watering, and pruning as well as the replacement of any required plantings which are damaged and/or dying.
