Sec. 17-36. - Environmental preservation review standards for tree removal and development activity.
The following standards shall be used by the preservation officer or historic and
environmental preservation board in reviewing all site plans, building plans and applications for
tree removal within those areas designated as environmental preservation districts. These
standards are intended to provide a frame of reference for the applicant, as well as to provide a
basis for reviewing plans and proposals. These standards are not to be regarded as inflexible and
are not intended to discourage innovation or creativity. Development should:
(1) Preserve the natural environmental character of all sites, insofar as practical,
by minimizing removal of trees or other significant environmental features.
(2) Preserve or enhance existing topography and natural land features wherever
possible.
(3) Use only those signs for identification of principal use. Signs should be of a
size, shape and color which are compatible with the surrounding
environment. The size of the signs should bear a direct relationship to the
rate of speed of passersby, not exceeding a maximum size necessary for
recognition.
(4) Provide visual screening of all parking areas, service areas or storage areas by
using landscaping and building materials which are compatible with the
surrounding landscape character.
(5) Maintain the continuity of landscape material and spacing characteristic of
the surrounding area or scenic corridor. If the development occurs along a
designated scenic corridor, the principal natural landscape or manmade
elements which form the visual boundaries or enclosing space of the corridor
shall be preserved, insofar as possible.
(6) Consider the impact of public and private improvements upon the ecological
needs of the area. Roadway improvements within scenic corridors and other
unique areas should not disrupt or distract from the existing natural
environment.
