A. Sight triangle restrictions. Hedges, shrubbery, or bushes of more than three (3) feet in height shall not be planted, placed, or maintained on a corner so as to restrict the vision of drivers, persons on bicycles, or pedestrians. This type of unobstructed area is commonly referred to as a "site triangle."
B. Signs. All signs, including temporary signs, shall be maintained in a neat and presentable condition and, in the event their use shall cease, they shall be promptly removed and the surrounding area restored to a condition free from refuse and trash.
C. Uses permitted upon review. When the Planning Commission considers an application for a use permitted on review in this district, it shall consider the impact of the proposal upon surrounding properties and the potential for increased traffic upon lower-standard residential estate streets. If, in the opinion of the commission, any proposed use will generate an unreasonable increase in the flow of traffic into a residential estates development or create situations where heavier vehicles will use the streets more frequently than under normal use and conditions, the Planning Commission shall deny the application. It is the intent of these regulations that all uses permitted on review be located on high standard streets or have access from a major street.
D. Lot coverage. Principal and accessory buildings shall not cover more than twenty percent (20%) of the lot area of any lot within this district.
E. Reduction of lot sizes. Reduction of sizes through lot splits, etc., in areas within the R-1, residential estates district, shall not be permitted:
1. Until such time as higher quality streets are provided; or
2. Unless both resulting lots will equal or exceed the basic requirements of this district's provisions and such action will not overload existing street systems.
F. Sight proof fencing. Sight proof fencing shall not be erected within the building line setback of the adjoining street. However, an exception may be requested in writing by the property owner and sent to the Planning Commission for review.
