10.7.3 Screening

10.7.3.1 Windscreens

Use a combination of evergreen and deciduous trees to provide windbreak protection from prevailing winds.  Windbreak plantings should be irregular in form, rather than straight and evenly spaced, in order to provide more effective wind control and to visually blend with the natural character of the installation.

10.7.3.2 Screening of Dumpsters

Landscape planting should be used to supplement wood fence and masonry wall dumpster enclosures.  All plantings shall meet force protection and antiterrorism requirements.

10.7.3.3 Screening of Transformers or other Utility Equipment

5Landscape plantings such as decorative shrubs shall be used to screen all transformers and other utility equipment from view in major pedestrian locations such as entrances to buildings and pedestrian circulation routes.  Care must be taken to make sure that proper access to the equipment is maintained while screening the equipment from view.
