The use of parallel retaining walls with <br />landscaping between them may be necessary in order to <br />minimize large cut slopes. <br />(9) Existing areas that have been scarred by previous grading <br />should be recontoured to a natural land form appearance , <br />whenever feasible. <br />d) Landscaping <br />(1) Substantial landscape planting should be provided to screen <br />new homes sited along the full length of the existing <br />Vineyard A venue from view of this corridor. <br />(2) The planting of new non-native materials should be <br />compatible with the natural setting of the Plan Area and <br />confined to the immediate vicinity of homes. <br />(3) Wood arbors and vine trellises are encouraged to provide <br />visual interest, screening, shade, and neighborhood design <br />continuity. <br />(4) Stone-faced entry monuments/walls are encouraged at <br />appropriate street entry points to individual developments. <br />Accompanying colorful accent and background planting are <br />also encouraged to highlight these entries. <br />(5) Stone materials used as facing on publicly visible retaining <br />walls are encouraged to provide continuity with the street <br />entries to individual developments. <br />(6) Solid board fencing in moderate to steeply sloping terrain <br />is appropriate only when located in close proximity to a <br />residence. Site perimeter and other outlying fencing in <br />these areas should remain visually open (i.e., split-rail or <br />wire-mesh) in order to minimize the visual "ribbon-like" <br />effect of fencing on the hillsides. Chain-link fencing in <br />residential areas shall not be permitted , except for possible <br />use around tennis courts. <br />33
