12. The developer shall prepare an open space management program for the open space areas along Foothill Road and common landscape areas (such as street median islands) prior to tentative map approval. The management mechanism shall provide for continued maintenance of the open space areas in perpetuity, weed abatement, enforcement of CC&Rs prohibiting construction, etc. within the open space areas, and for continued maintenance of landscape areas to the satisfaction of the city. The program shall indicate levels of maintenance required and shall be administered by the homeowners' association 13. The project applicant shall prepare specific guidelines for the open space easement areas and for the properties abutting them. These guidelines shall be incorporated into the Oak Tree Farm Landscape Guidelines prior to approval of the tentative map. CC&Rs shall be prepared to the satisfaction of city staff, indicating the responsibilities of each property owner regarding improvement and maintenance of these "scenic easement areas". Scenic easement areas shall be clearly indicated on the tentative subdivision map, prior to approval. All easements and restrictions shall be recorded on the deeds to the affected properties, to the satisfaction of the City Attorney. (modification of MM 3g) Visual Impacts l4. Mitigation of visual impacts of home construction on the upper knoll shall include: a. The project landscape design guidelines shall include specific requirements for landscape installation for Lots 62-65. Landscaping for these homes shall be located on the lot to screen those portions which are most visible from Interstate 680. In particular, the use of a combination of large-sized, fast-growing native species as well as smaller-sized, additional oak trees (native to the site) shall be required for these sites. Native plant materials would provide less visual contrast with the existing hillside vegetation and further reduce visual impact. Ornamental plant and turf installation shall be limited as much as possible on these lots, shall be located in areas away from freeway visibility and shall be screened with native vegetation to reduce visual contrast. (MM 5b) b. Homes shall be located on these lots to take advantage of as much of the native vegetation as possible. The architectural design guidelines shall identify clearly the preferred structure location for these lots. (MM 5c)
