Perimeter Buffer. Where existing dense plantings do not exist, the perimeter of the developed portion of a project site shall be supplemented with landscaping that will serve to reduce abutter’s view of the project and enhance existing mature vegetative buffer where possible. A perimeter fence may be installed within required setbacks in coordination with the abutters to provide additional physical barriers for security and/or additional screening. Landscaping around the streetscape at the entrance to the project site on Princeton Street shall be completed during the first phase of the project.
Perimeter Buffer. The Owner shall preserve a twenty-five (25) foot wide natural vegetation buffer on its north and west boundaries which includes an existing twenty (20) foot wide utility easement on the northerly Subject Property boundary. It is acknowledged that the twenty (20) foot easement will be included within the twenty-five (25’) foot wide buffer on the northerly Subject Property boundary as shown on the Conceptual Master Site Plan (Exhibit “C”). If any sections of the utility easement and buffer strip, including the westerly boundary perimeter buffer, have previously been disturbed or cleared those areas shall be filled in with supplemental planting by the Owner subject to approval by the City. The City and Developer acknowledge the presence of an existing ditch which extends the length of the northerly boundary of the Subject Property (within Reserve Parcel T-1, Subdivision Plat Easthampton-Section 34, MB11 PG47 of Flagler County) the purpose of which furthers the communitywide stormwater system. The Developer shall verify if portions of the twenty-five (25) foot wide buffer area may contain the existing ditch. If such a condition exists, the City shall not require the Owner to provide additional buffer area. However, such a condition does not preclude the addition of supplemental landscape screening within the buffer area should the City and Owner determine such action is warranted.
