Specific Site Maintenance Requirements and Recommendations : The landscape design for the median areas consists of sod, trees and palms . Generally the medians at the west end of the project are wider than 25 ' with some existing landscaping, irrigation and stamped concrete . The medians generally located within the eastern portion of the project are less then 22 ' wide and are newly constructed. Also , located within the limits of the project are Outdoor Advertising Signs which affected the median and right of way plantings . The design is intended to be low maintenance . Sections of Stamped concrete are interspaced throughout the tapers of medians to provide a refuge space for maintenance workers to perform their work . All areas outside of the medians are un- irrigated and therefore only xeriscape plant species were utilized . Alternating groups of curved Sabal palms , Cypress trees , Slash pines and Live Oaks were added in areas along the right of ways . The maintenance focus for these street trees will be to keep them trimmed to provide a minimum of 7 ' of clearance over all sidewalks and 14 . 5 ' of clearance over the roadway.
