The following planning guidelines are established to guide the planning, development and use of the land in a PPDD.
(a) Landscaping prototypes for buffering, parking islands, pedestrian areas and site amenities for areas Sub-Districts PD- 1 through PD - 5 shall be depicted on the Preliminary Development Plan. However, the landscaping and mounding for Sub-District PD-6 shall be developed as a definitive fully developed landscape plan which specifies: the proposed grading; the plant material and the number of each type, the size at planting, the spacing, and the breadth and height within three (3) years of planting.
(b) Parking Jots shall be screened from adjacent residential uses and public streets with dense evergreen hedges or trees and/or earthen mounds or other effective screening as lllustrated on the Preliminary Development Plan, as it may be amended.
(c) Lighting of drives, sidewalks and parking areas shall be adequate to provide safety but the location, number, height and level of illumination shall be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Council as part of the Final Development Plan. Lighting shall be designed to not have excessive brightness, to not have light trespass on adjacent property and to not create "hot spots" of light.
(d) The development shall be designed to utilize the natural contours of the land, economize in the construction of utilities, and reduce the amount of grading to the extent practicable.
(e) Utility services including gas, water, sewers, electric, cable and telephone, shall be installed underground in compliance with relevant Village ordinances and all other applicable regulations and requirements.
(f) Exclusive of Sub-District PD-6, the development shall include a system of pedestrian plazas and walkways that interconnect the entire development and, to the extent reasonably feasible, with Village pedestrian paths and bikeways outside the development to the extent such paths and bikeways adjoin the development. Such connections shall include other features such as decorative street furniture, outdoor seating, bicycle facilities, decorative pavement to indicate pedestrian areas and crosswalks, and traffic calming measures as appropriate.
(g) Retention/detention, when proposed as open basins or ponds, shall be designed to be an integral part of an amenity to the development. The borders of retention basins shall have natural or curvilinear shapes and shall be planted with grass and trees to blend in with the landscape features of the development. Where deep basins occur, adequate protection is to be provided to prevent pedestrians or vehicles from dangers arising from the design of these facilities, and such protection may include, but is not limited to, fences, guard rails or other warning devices as deemed necessary.
(h) In Sub-District PD-6, the open space shall be guaranteed from further subdivision and/or use through deed restrictions or covenants. All such open space shall be maintained by the owner of the majority of the land in Sub-Districts PD-1 through PD-4 and PD-6.
(i) Private streets in Sub-Districts PD-1, PD-3, PD-4, and PD-5 as identified on the Preliminary Development Plan, as it may be amended, shall be constructed to Village construction standards for public streets unless an alternate standard is approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the time the Final Development Plan is approved. All private streets in Sub-Districts PD-1, PD-3 and PD -4 shall be within an easement granted to the Village which assures perpetual public access. All private streets in PD-5 shall be accessible for the provision of municipal services. The land areas of the designated private streets shall be maintained by the owners thereof.
(j) Trash storage containers and compactors shall be enclosed with a masonry wall at such minimum height, but not less than six (6) feet, as necessary to fully screen the top of any trash storage device on three sides with a closable door/gate on the fourth side. Trash enclosures shall be screened with landscaping and located as depicted on the Final Development Plan.

(Ord. 2014-3. Passed 4-9-14.)
(o) Upon completion of construction of the development, the ambient (i.e., background) noise level on Waterford Court as measured using the A weighted decibel scale shall not increase in a manner perceptible by the average human ear as determined by a sound professional comparing sound studies that document the pre- and post-construction sound levels using a variety of sound level descriptors.
