(15) Location and size of all recreation and open space areas;
(16) A planting and landscaping plan;
(17) Architectural plans of proposed structures;
(18) For multi-family residential developments, the number, type and minimum floor area of dwelling units;

(20) The location, width, size and intended purpose of all easements and rights- of-way and whether they are to be publicly or privately maintained;
(21) The following data relative to all existing and proposed streets: location, width, names, curve data, grades, and sight distances. Typical sections shall be provided for all proposed streets and drives;
(22) A description of the proposed development or operation in sufficient detail to indicate possible emission of energy or matter beyond the lot lines, with engineering plans for the handling of any excesses thereof; and
(Ord. 1998-34. Passed 5-13-98.)
(23) An application for tree approval, as required by Section 1375.06 of the Orange Village Codified Ordinances.

(c) Design Standards - All development plans shall conform to the following design standards:
(1) The development plan shall show that a proper relationship will exist between thoroughfares, service roads, driveways and parking areas to encourage pedestrian and vehicular traffic safety on both public and private lands.
(2) All development features, including principal buildings, open spaces, service roads, driveways and parking areas, shall be so located and related as to minimize the possibility of adverse effects upon adjacent development.
(3) The architectural design of buildings shall be developed with consideration given to the relationship of adjacent development in terms of building height, mass, texture, materials, line, pattern and character.
(4) Building location and placement shall be developed with consideration given to minimizing the removal of trees and changes of topography.
(5) Maximum possible visual and auditory privacy for surrounding properties and occupants shall be provided through good design and the use of proper building materials and landscaping.
(6) In large parking areas, visual relief shall be provided through the use of tree-planted and landscaped dividers, islands and walkways.
(7) Screening of parking areas and service areas from surrounding properties shall be provided through landscaping and/or ornamental walls or fences, where necessary, to promote harmony with adjacent developments.
(8) On-site traffic circulation shall be designed to make possible adequate fire and police protection.
(9) In the case of an industrial use, adequate provisions shall be made for the disposal of industrial wastes. Wastes containing poisonous, corrosive, flammable or explosive solids, liquids or gases, or oils or greases, shall not be discharged into the sanitary sewer.
(10) To secure the optimum effect of transition from a residential to a nonresidential district, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall have the power to determine the need for, and the amount of, planting materials, walls, walks or fences, or any combination of the same, on any property line of land under consideration. The plans and specifications therefore, including density and height figures for the overall site development, shall include the proposed arrangement of such plantings and structures.
(11) All utilities must be located underground.
(12) There shall be a minimum distance of 150 feet between the centerline of each access drive to the right-of-way of the nearest intersection.
(Ord. 1998-34. Passed 5-13-98.)
(d) The Village Engineer and the Law Director shall advise the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding engineering and legal requirements to comply with all applicable engineering standards and laws.
