Easements <br /> <br />Existing easements can alter landscape requirements. In some <br />cases, trees and shrubs are not permitted so that access can be <br />provided to the easement. However, the use of tur£, groundcover, <br />or vines can be used in such areas. Any restrictions referring to <br />easements should be determined by checking with Public Utilities <br />and stating the restrictions that apply as a £ootnote on the <br />submitted landscape plan. <br /> <br />Treatment o£ Slopes: <br />Any property with more than a 5.1 slope must have a copy o£ the <br />grading plan with existing and proposed topographical lines <br />submitted with the landscape. Retaining walls, jute mesh, or <br />other erosion prevention materials should be indicated on <br />submitted plans. Tur£ is unacceptable £or grades over 25%. <br />Ground covers and fibrous rooted shrubs are to be specified for <br />these areas. <br /> <br />Color in the Landscape: <br /> <br />Annual color should be incorporated into the landscape plan. <br />Color is not limited to annuals. Careful selection o[ £1owering <br />trees and shrubs can provide seasonal color all year. The use of <br />evergreen and deciduous plant material, bark color, seeds, and <br />fruit (berries) that persist, can provide additional color to the <br />landscape. <br /> <br />Continual Maintenance: <br /> <br />Normally, there is a stated guarantee designated by the landscape <br />architect for replacement o£ dead plant material within a <br />specified period. Plant materials must be maintained and <br />replaced, i£ dead, according to Sec. 41-609. This requirement <br />goes beyond any guarantee period for installation o£ the landscape <br />and applies to the perpetual life of the development. <br /> <br />Plant materials will be maintained and dead material replaced as <br />specified in the City of Santa Ana Code Section 41-609 <br /> <br />-4- <br /> <br /> <br />
