Ground covers (not including sod grass) shall be planted in such a manner as to present a finished appearance and reasonably complete coverage within one year after planting. At least fifty (50) percent of the area covered by living material shall be of native species. Refer to Appendix for a list of native ground covers and flowers. The complete coverage of an area by ground covers precludes the use of mulch thereafter. (7) Turf &grass. Turf grass areas shall be identified on the landscape plan and shall be limited to a maximum of fifty (50) percent of the total irrigated, landscaped and vegetated project area excluding _riis-of-way, active recreation areas (e.g_playfields), and slopes within dry retention areas. Turf grass shall be placed so that it can be irrigated in a separate zone. Preferred turf grasses are those qualifying as native and are listed in Appendix C. Grass areas may be sodded, plugged, sprigged or seeded, except that solid sod or hydro - seeding shall be used in swales or other areas subject to erosion. Seed, where used, shall be of a variety that will produce coverage within ninety (90) days from sowing; where other than solid sod, grass seed or grass sprigging is used, nurse grass seed shall be sown for immediate effect and protection until coverage is otherwise achieved. When necessary, a reseeding program shall be implemented to produce complete coverage within one year. (8) Walls. The wall articulation and wildlife opening requirements stated in Chapter 913.09(9)(C)(4) shall apply to all walls provided in perimeter buffers and landscape areas. (9) Buffers of Florida native vegetation. For the purposes of conserving water and promoting original native landscape, an unelevated buffer of undisturbed Florida native vegetation preserved in situ or a buffer planted to re-create native uplands (as listed in Appendix A) is preferred over the creation of a landscaped berm. Supplemental native plantings may added to meet the specifications of the required buffer type. Solid opaque features, such as panel -system walls, may be required within native buffers where the approving body (i.e. staff, the planning and zoning commission, or the board of county commissioners) determines that such features are needed to mitigate potential noise impacts. (10) Berms. Earthen berms shall have a slope no steeper than three (3) feet horizontal to one (1) foot vertical. The crest of the berm shall have a four (4) foot planting a, rea plateau, with ridges on the ends for the retention of water on top of the berm. Berms must be constructed of appropriate soils, the use of either hydric soils or excessively drained soils in constructing berms is prohibited. All berms Guidelines for soils are referenced in Appendix D. 11) Fences. When fences are installed. the side of the fence facina public view shall have a finished appearance. Fences shall be consistent with all corridor plan criteria. Landscaping is required on the side of the fence facing a roadway, in conformance with the requirements set forth in para _aph (5) above and Chapters 911, 913, 915 and 971.
