“Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 15, 16, 17 and 18 shall have landscaping installed at the Developer's
expense along the rear lot lines and in the rear yards to substantially soften
the view of these homes from Midlothian Road on a year round basis. The landscape plan and materials for these
areas shall be as approved by the Architectural Review Committee and the
Village President, but, in general, shall consist of a combination of deciduous
and coniferous trees with spacing, density and opacity at least as great as the
recent plantings along Krukenberg Road.”
Motion by Magruder, second by Pathmann to
approve the landscape plan as submitted.
On a voice vote the motion carried
unanimously.
