Landscaping, as required by the provisions of this Section, shall be installed by the date specified on the approved plan. However, the Administrative Official may allow an additional period of up to 12 months if circumstances so require. A screening fence, if required, shall be installed before an occupancy permit is granted.
(A) Tree protection: trees shall be protected from injury to roots, trunks and branches during grading and construction. Protective fencing, tree wells, and/or retaining walls shall be utilized where necessary to insure tree survival upon completion of construction.
(B) Maintenance. The owner, tenant and their agent, if any, shall be jointly responsible for the continuing maintenance of landscaping and screening required by the zoning code. Nothing in these codes shall be construed as prohibiting the redesign and replanting of landscape materials, provided that such replanting conforms to the minimum standards set forth herein.
(C) Obstruction of sight distance at intersections. Where two streets intersect, landscaping and screening materials shall not be placed within the triangular area formed by the public right-of-way lines and a line connecting them at points 30 feet from their point of intersection.
