The slats must be maintained at all times and <br /> must be replaced within 30 days at the request of the city. <br /> 2. An earthen berm of at least three feet in height with a mixed hedge of evergreen <br /> and deciduous plant materials. <br /> (i) Plant materials must include a variety of shrubs, ornamental trees, and <br /> overstory/evergreen trees. Shrubs must be at least three feet tall at the time <br /> of installation and the plan must be approved by city staff. <br /> (ii) Earthen berms shall not have a slope of more than three feet horizontal to <br /> one foot vertical or be located within any street right-of-way unless otherwise <br /> approved by the city engineer. <br /> (6) Outdoor storage areas abutting an adjacent industrial zoned parcel are not required to be <br /> screened. <br /> a. Where screening is not required, barrier style curb B612 shall be installed to define the <br /> limits of the approved outdoor storage area. <br />
