Appendix 8. Buffer screen.

The developer shall provide a buffer screen beginning at the building line and extending along any side or rear property line which abuts a single family or two family district when an A-1 District is used for any purpose other than one or two family dwellings.

Definition:

Buffer screen: Superseded by article III, Definitions. A permanent fence, wall, or evergreen planting screen which will interrupt vision between adjacent properties. A buffer screen shall be at least six feet high except that initially an evergreen planting screen may be less than six feet if plants are provided which will ultimately attain a height of six feet or more. (Note: If grouped in proximity, such plants as Pinus Strobus (White Pine); Prunus Caroliniana (Cherry Laurel); ligustrum Licidum (Ligustrum); Elaeagnus Pungens (Elaeagnus); and Ilex Crenta Burfordi (Burfordi Holly) will grow to form a hardy screen thick enough and high enough to interrupt vision and to effectively reduce the transmission of sound.)
