Undulations in the berm and corresponding hedge height are encouraged. Hedge shrubs shall be planted no further apart than twenty-four (24) inches on center, in a serpentine pattern along the length of the buffer strip. Berms shall have a slope no steeper than three (3) horizontal to one vertical and shall be continuous along the length of the buffer strip, except where berm modifications may be necessary for tree preservation as determined by the community development director or his designee. To provide a less formal appearance, clustering trees along the buffer strip is encouraged and uniform spacing of trees is discouraged, except where used to emphasize a particular planting theme or development style.
