least five (5) percent of the total paved area shall be provid- ed with interior landscaping. Each separate landscaped area shall contain a minimum of twenty-five (25) square feet and shall have a minimum dimension of at least five (5) feet and shall include at least one (1) tree having a clear trunk of at least five (5) feet, with the remaining area adequately land- scaped with shrubs, ground cover or other authorized landscap- ing material not to exceed three (3) feet in height. The total number of trees shall not be less than one (1) for each three hundred (300) square feet or fraction thereof of required interior landscaped area. Such landscaped areas shall be located in such a manner as to divide and break up the expanse of paving. When, upon the request of the developer and in the opinion of the Planning & Development Director, the placing of all required interior trees would create an impractical landscape effect, a portion of the required interior trees may be placed along the perimeter of the parking area to satisfy this requirement. D. Encroachment. Landscape areas shall require protection from vehicu- lar encroachment. Car stops shall be placed at least three (3) feet from the edge of such landscaped areas. Where a wheel stop or curb is utilized, the paved area between the curb/wheel stop and the end of the parking space may be omitted, provided it is landscaped in addition to the required landscaping provided. Car stops shall be located so as to prevent damage to any planting areas by automobiles. E. Site Distance for Landscaping Adjacent to Roadways and Points of Access. (1) All landscape plans submitted hereunder shall meet the minimum sight distance requirements established herein, as viewed from the perspective of the driver of a vehicle leaving the project premises onto the abutting public or private roadway.
