AppendixLandscapingis a critical element to improve both the function and appearance of stormwater best management practices (BMPs). Key landscapingobjectives for Zone 5 are to stabilize the steep slopes characteristic of this zone and establish low maintenance natural vegetation. Plants have differing tolerances to inundation and as an aid to landscapedesigners, these tolerance levels have been divided into six zones and corresponding plant species have been identified. Other plant characteristics must be considered to determine how the plant provides seasonal interest and whether the plant will fit with the landscapetoday and through the seasons and years to come. Some planting requirements may require a special effort to find the specific plant that fulfills the needs of the site and the function of the plant in the landscape.

Please join me in changing the relationship we have with our yards, by working a little ecological landscapinginto your piece of Massachusetts. Each yard occupies only a small piece of the entire community, but collectively they add up to a sizeable and influential component of the landscape. Whatever the origins of this preference, the expansive green lawn is still commonly viewed by many as the ideal home landscape. These principles can be applied in any number of ways, from taking a few easy steps to a complete redesign of a yard or landscape. While the use of all the principles would create the most productive ecological landscape, following any of these principles will help build an ecological landscapethat integrates itself LANDSCAPINGSTANDARDS The developer shall provide and maintain landscapedareas within all developments according to the standards of this Code. The Developer shall landscapethe building site in accordance with Section 1201.2(1) above; provided, however, such landscapingneed not exceed the percentage increase in gross building area of the building. Landscapemaintenance and planting area Each canopy tree planted under Section 1201.(2)(b) shall be in a planting area whose radius is not less than six (6) feet measured from the tree trunk to the near edge of the landscapedarea.

Landscapematerials, such as the use of a specific street tree throughout an area, can establish part of the area of a historic district. The pattern of landscapingin an area, such as the use of street trees, planting strips and sodded front yards, are also important. Specific landscapingfeatures are permitted without review when the proposed landscapingis consistent with that found generally in the historic district. Larger scale landscapingalterations, such as the replacement of sod with concrete, are of concern and will be requires to obtain review approval. If particular landscapefeatures are deemed by the Board to have historic significance, the requirement for review approval prior to any change in the significant landscapefeatures will be contained in the ordinance01percivalThis study investigates the effect of trees and landscapingon office rental rates, based on a comparison of 85 office buildings that comprise 270 individual and unique leases in the Cleveland, Ohio, U.S., metropolitan area. Multiple regression analysis in the form of a hedonic equation was conducted to isolate the economic effects of landscaping. The individual analysis of the variables showed a strong positive effect for those buildings with good landscapingaesthetics and building shade provided by trees. Conversely, landscapingthat provides a good visual screen produced significant negative impacts on rental rates. Homes that had a landscapingappeal far below (fair or poor) neighboring homes with excellent landscapeshad a sales price 8% to 10% below equivalent homes with good landscapingappeal.

Every landscapeconsists of living and non-living components. The living components of the landscapeare the plants (and perhaps the animals that inhabit it). A landscapeis made attractive or otherwise by the way in which these components are selected and arranged together. PRINCIPLES The basic principles of landscapedesign are those things that influence the way in which the components are used. For Le Notre, a famous 17th century French designer, a very important principle was that of symmetry, while Capability Brown, an influential 18th century English landscaper, believed the most important principle was for landscapesto be natural in appearance. With symmetrical balance there is a duplication on either side ofpresentationLand development is the Single, Biggest impact to a watershed Redevelopment is the Single, Greatest opportunity to make changes or try new ideas Direct link to two of the most common pollutant sources-Vehicles and Non-native landscapingCurrent Practices Cause Problems Increased imperviousness leads to increased volumes, peak flows, peak flow duration, & creek temperatures; decreased base flow; & changed sediment loadings These effects result in negative impacts - erosion, channel widening, creek bed alteration, habitat loss, and flooding 2.
