POLICY FOR MEDIAN LANDSCAPING
DEVELOPMENTS ON PUBLIC CUL -DE -SACS
It shall be the policy of the City Council to permit construction of median
landscaping installations on public cul -de -sacs under the following set of
conditions:
1. Detailed written plans must be prepared and submitted to the Parks,
Beaches and Recreation Director by the person or organization de-
siring to install specific landscaping improvements. These plans
shall:
a. Indicate the exact location where the installation is to be
constructed.
b. Detail the specific design and materials to be used in the
construction of the median island and provide for the relo-
cation of any existing underground utilities which will
interfere with the proposed work.
c. Provide for a separate water meter as a part of the landscape
median installation and indicate sprinkler system design.
d. Itemize the landscaping materials to be planted in the median
island.
e. Allow for sufficient emergency vehicular movements.
f. Be reviewed and approved by both the Public Works and Parks,
Beaches and Recreation Directors.
2. Written support must be obtained from at least 75% of the homeowners
of the affected cul -de -sac circle in favor of the landscape instal-
lation to be constructed which must accompany the proposed installa-
tion plans. This approval must also reflect a commitment to assume
the maintenance of the landscape installation once installed, in-
cluding necessary water service.
3. If the landscape median is not maintained to the satisfaction of the
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director, the persons or organization
responsible for installing the landscaped island will be so notified.
If the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director determines that there
has not been an improvement in the maintenance within thirty days of
such notification, the City will have the median island removed and
restored to its former status as a full service street or remove
the landscaping and pave the curbed circle with asphalt.
