   (A)   General.
      (1)   The following lists indicate plantings which will meet the screening and shading requirements of §§ 153.230 through 153.236 and 153.250 through 153.257.

         (a)   General suitability for the climate and soil conditions of this area;
         (b)   Ease of maintenance;
         (c)   Tolerance of town conditions; and
         (d)   Availability from area nurseries.
      (2)   When selecting new plants for a particular site, a developer should first consider the types of plants which are thriving on or near the site. However, if an introduced species has proven highly effective for screening or shading in this area, it too may be a proper selection.
