The planting strip shall <br />contain no structures or other use. Such planting <br />strip shall not be less than six feet (6') in height. <br />Earth mounding or berms may be used, but shall not be <br />used to achieve more than two feet (2') of the required <br />screen. <br /> <br />Standards <br /> <br />a. Width of planting strip - four feet (4'). <br /> <br />b. Type of planting - evergreen. <br /> <br />c. Size of plants - Minimal height of four (4') at time <br />of planting.
