(A) The Zoning Administrator may grant a waiver or permission to alter a provision of the landscape buffer strip requirements in recognition of existing on- and off-site characteristics that would make the strict application of requirements redundant and unreasonable.
(B) Existing site characteristics or circumstances could include, but are not limited to:
(1) The proposed park is adjacent to an existing mobile home park wherein the requirement of a buffer between them would serve no legitimate purpose;
(2) The proposed park has natural vegetative growth or land features which would adequately serve as a buffer;
(3) The park is adjacent to a use that has an environmental buffer; and
(4) The Zoning Administrator may, however, condition any waiver of any requirement and may require a financial guarantee to ensure that the developer or owner of the mobile home park satisfy the waived requirement at a later date, that is for instance, off-site environmental buffer outside of the developer’s control is eliminated or destroyed. The owner or developer would then be required to provide that which was waived at the time of development. The bond amount shall be an amount equal to the cost of the landscaping required prior to obtaining a waiver for the same and shall be set at no less than the average of two bid proposals from landscape contractors for the required work which shall be submitted by the park developer with a request for waiver of landscape buffer requirements.
