integrating with the development through the use of curvilinear shapes, native and/or adapted vegetation, and natural
materials. The following are general guidelines:

protective fencing.
• Minimize concrete and impervious surfaces to the maximum extent practicable.
• Include walking loops and connections to trails.
• Provide seating areas and/or gathering spaces like picnic spots and fishing areas.
