On the site of a building or open lot providing an off-street parking area, where such area will not be entirely screened visually by an intervening building or structure from any abutting right-of-way, excluding dedicated alleys, there shall be provided landscaping between such area and such right-of-way as follows: (1) A strip of land at least ten (10) feet in depth located between the abutting right-of-way and the off-street parking area which is exposed to an abutting right-of-way shall be landscaped, such landscaping to include one tree for each forty (40) lineal feet or fraction thereof. Such trees shall be located between the abutting right-of-way and off- street parking area, and shall be planted in a planting area of at least twenty-five (25) square feet with a minimum of the dimensions being at least five (5) feet. In addition, a hedge, wall, fence or other durable landscape barrier of at least two (2) feet in height shall be maintained along the perimeter of such landscaped strip. If such durable barrier is of nonliving material, at each ten (10) feet thereof, one shrub or vine shall be planted abutting such barrier, but need not be spaced ten (10) feet apart. Such shrubs or vines shall be planted along the street side of such barrier unless they are of sufficient height at the time of planting to be readily visible over the top of such barrier. The remainder of the required landscaped areas shall be landscaped with grass, ground cover or other landscape treatment excluding paving. (2) All non -vehicular open space other than the required landscaped strip lying between the right-of-way and off-street parking area shall be landscaped as provided in section 8 of this ordinance. (3) Necessary accessways from the public right-of-way through all such landscaping areas shall be permitted to service the parking, and such accessways may be subtracted from the lineal dimension used to determine the number of trees required. 7 t
