<br />b. When the interior of any vehicular use area is designed primarily for <br />purposes other than off-street parking, such as for drive-in or drive-through <br />banking or retailing, the drive-through lane shall be separated from other <br />vehicular use areas for its entire length, with a five-foot wide (excluding <br />curbing) landscaped area planted with one tree for every 25 linear feet, and <br />with lawn grass or ground cover. The portion of the drive-through lane that is <br />adjacent to the primary structure shall have a minimum three feet wide <br />landscaped area between the structure and the drive-through lane. <br /> <br />1001.8.5 Landscape requirements for non-vehicular use areas. Develop a landscape <br />plan that beautifies, provides shade, and complements the architecture of the <br />adjacent building. <br /> <br />1001.8.6 Clear sight triangles. <br /> <br />a. When an accessway intersects a public street or alley right-of-way, or <br />another accessway, or when the vehicular use area is contiguous to the <br />intersection of two or more public rights-of-way, all landscaping within the <br />triangular areas created by such intersections and defined below shall <br />provide unobstructed vision clearance at an elevation of 30 to eight feet in <br />height. Vision clearance requirements shall comply with American <br />Association of State Highway & Transportation Officials (AASHTO). <br /> <br />b. Trees having over six feet of clear trunk with limbs and foliage trimmed in <br />such a manner as not to extend into the vision clearance area shall be <br />permitted, provided they in no way create a traffic hazard. No landscaping <br />elements, except for grass, ground cover, or hedges shall be located nearer <br />than five feet to any accessway intersection of a public road. <br /> <br />c. Intersection of two public streets: The vision clearance area shall be the <br />triangular area formed by the intersection of the two streets beginning at the <br />point where property lines meet at the corner, or in the case of rounded <br />property comers, the point at which they would meet without such rounding, <br />and then extending 25 feet along each property line. The vision clearance <br />area shall be where a diagonal line connects the two furthermost points. <br /> <br />d. Intersection of any alley or accessway with a public street, or with another <br />alley or accessway area at such intersections shall be as defined above, <br />except that the two equal sides of the triangular area shall be 15 feet in <br />length. <br /> <br />e. Where City, Miami-Dade County or Florida Department of Transportation <br />(FDOT) roads are involved, meet all City, Miami-Dade County, or FDOT <br />design criteria related to highway safety for all landscaping material. <br /> <br />Adopted December 10, 2002 <br /> <br />CHAPTER 18 LaDdscape Requiremnts 1000..12 <br />
