[Ord. No. 931, § II(Exh. B), 6-20-2017]
(a) 
Intent. The intent of this Village center overlay zoning district is to establish uniform zoning standards to accommodate pedestrian oriented retail businesses and other uses located in a multi-purpose environment within the center of the Village of Mukwonago; that recognizes the unique character of platting, land use and development within the Village center; and that necessitates specialized standards to sustain a unique place. This overlay district is further intended to supersede standards of the base zoning district that allows an intensively developed, compact area consisting primarily of retail businesses with multi-purpose development where appropriate and maintains the surrounding residential neighborhood supporting the unique Village center.
(b) 
Boundary of Village center overlay zoning district. The standards of Village center overlay zoning district within this § 100-153 shall apply to and include properties as shown on the map marketed as "Exhibit 1" on file in the office of the Village Clerk, with the following general boundaries:
(1) 
North: Washington Avenue, extending to include the Pearl and Grand Avenue Historic District.
(2) 
East: Canadian National Railroad Tracks.
(3) 
South: Mukwonago River.
(4) 
West: Shore Line of Lower Phantom Lake.
(c) 
Scope of regulations. The provisions of this § 100-153 shall be in effect on a property or properties within the boundary of the Village center overlay zoning district under any of following conditions:
(1) 
Change in use. When the existing use of any building, structure or land is changed to a new permitted use or conditional use in accordance with § 100-153(f), all provisions of this § 100-158 shall apply to the new use. In a building or structure with multiple uses or tenants, the new use shall conform to § 100-153(f) without impacting any existing business or businesses existing in the same building or structure. If any existing use not allowed as a permitted use or conditional use by § 100-153(f) located in the same building or structure with a new use as of June 29, 2017, the existing use may continue as a non-conforming use until the use vacates the building or structure.
(2) 
Enlargement of use. The provisions of this § 100-158 shall apply when the intensity of use of any building, structure, or land is increased through additional floor area, seating capacity or additional residential dwelling units. However, buildings and structures with a use currently existing and permitted in the base zoning district as of June 29, 2017 that is not allowed as a permitted use or conditional use by § 100-153(f) may be allowed to enlarge in accordance with the bulk standards of this § 100-153(g), and the non-conforming use may remain. Any new use occupying the enlargement shall conform to all standards of this § 100-153.
(3) 
New construction. The provisions of this § 100-153 shall apply to all buildings and structures erected and all uses of land (including the construction of new parking and loading facilities) established after June 29, 2017.
(4) 
Pre-existing residential uses. Buildings and structures with residential as the primary use existing at the time of adoption of this § 100-153 within the B-1, B-2 or M-1 base zoning district, and located within the boundary of this overlay district, may continue in a residential use and shall be allowed to make building and property improvements to maintain proper habitation.
(5) 
Benefit of property ownership. Any property owner may select to comply with this § 100-153 at any time, regardless of the other scope of regulations of this § 100-153(c).
(6) 
Application of M-1 or M-2 zoning within the multi-purpose perimeter sub-district. Properties with the base zoning district of M-1 or M-2 within the multi-purpose perimeter sub-district shall request and receive a zoning district boundary change to either the B-1 or B-2 zoning district before any enlargement of use or new construction. The use or uses shall be subject to B-1 or B-2 standards with the optional standards of this Village center overlay zoning district.
(d) 
Sub-districts of the Village center overlay zoning district. To achieve the intent of the Village center overlay district and to recognize the historic development pattern of the Village center with a core of retail establishments, sub-districts are created as shown on Exhibit A; on file in the office of the Village Clerk. The sub-districts of the Village center overlay district are as follows:
(1) 
Retail center.
(2) 
Multi-purpose perimeter.
(3) 
Residential perimeter.
(e) 
Purpose of the Sub-Districts. Administration of the allowable uses, performance standards and bulk standards of this § 100-153 shall be based on the following purpose statements of each sub-district in addition to the overall intent statement of the Village center overlay zoning district.
(1) 
Retail center. It is the purpose of the retail center to create street level activity by permitting a range of businesses on the ground floor or first floor space of buildings facing the public street primarily of retail character that sell or provide services directly to customers on the premises or serves as a third-place establishment. Businesses that do not create customer traffic are encouraged to locate within the retail center on upper floors or the ground floor or first floor space of buildings that do not face the public street. Nonetheless, businesses without customer traffic may be allowed by approval of the plan commission if the business adds significance to the Village center; such as the business is an employment generator, the aesthetic appeal of the business or the building in which the business is located, or the existing floor plan of the building or tenant space is designed for an office environment. Residential dwelling units are encouraged on the upper floors of the retail center. Several buildings within the retail center may be encouraged to remain to enhance the cultural heritage of the Village while other buildings are encouraged to be redeveloped or expanded. In addition, it is the purpose of the retail center to preserve the two buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and to promote the cultural heritage of the Village of Mukwonago by maintaining buildings and uses that have been and will continue to be important elements within the Village center.
(2) 
Multi-purpose perimeter. It is the purpose of the multi-purpose perimeter to create a mixture of business uses (such as retail, third-places, office services and corporate offices) combined with residential at higher densities than allowed elsewhere in the Village creating a consistent activity level and a market for the retail center and the multi-purpose perimeter. Facing the major traffic corridors of Rochester Street and Main Street, businesses located on the ground floor or first floor of buildings shall meet the same criteria as the retail center with the purpose of creating street level activity; except by approval of the plan commission if the business adds significance to the Village center; such as the business is an employment generator, the aesthetic appeal of the business or the building in which the business is located, or the existing floor plan of the building or tenant space is designed for an office environment. Several buildings within the multi-purpose perimeter may be encouraged to remain to enhance the cultural heritage of the Village while other properties are encouraged to be redeveloped or expanded. Conversion of existing homes to low intensity business uses is encouraged (such as professional offices and bed and breakfast establishments).
(3) 
Residential perimeter. It is the purpose of the residential perimeter to preserve and protect the important residential areas surrounding the business center of the Village by identifying the Pearl and Grand Avenue Historic District and allowing homes to be maintained and improved that otherwise are non-conforming pursuant to the required setbacks of the base zoning districts.
(f) 
Allowable uses within sub-districts. The standards within this § 100-153(f) shall apply to uses allowed as permitted uses or conditional uses per sub-district of the Village center overlay zoning district, as permitted uses and conditional uses are administered in this Chapter 100. Uses specifically prohibited per sub-district are listed as not permitted.
(1) 
General list of allowable or not permitted uses. The following general categories of uses are allowed per sub-district as permitted uses or conditional uses, or not permitted, within the criteria and performance standards of this § 100-153(f).

Prohibited uses. The following list of uses are specifically prohibited within any sub-district of the Village center overlay zoning district: automobile and other vehicle sales; automobile and other vehicle repair; adult cabaret; adult entertainment; adult book, magazine or video sales or rentals; tool rental facility and any use selling or providing an illegal product or service.
(4) 
Performance standards for allowed uses. All uses allowed as either a permitted use or a conditional use within the subdistricts of the Village center overlay district shall comply with the following performance standards.
a. 
A business with on-site customers means an enterprise, company, firm or organization engaged in the sale of new products and/or rendering services directly to the public and/or customers at the location of the business within the Village center. A business with on-site customers shall have regular and consistent hours of operation open to the public in relation to other Village center businesses, with the objective of attracting customers within the hours of 9:00 a.m. to Midnight, which provides the Village center with consistent street level pedestrian and traffic activity. Common terms for a business under this category may include retail or commercial establishment, a business office, general service, health care, and accommodation, food service or drinking establishments. Third-place businesses are encouraged that provide an alternate to community citizens beyond home and employment to congregate, meet and enjoy the presence of friends and other members of the community. Examples of third-place businesses include a restaurant with a bar, a craft store that holds classes teaching knitting or scrap booking, or a hobby store that holds classes teaching model railroading.
b. 
A business without on-site customers means an enterprise, company, firm or organization engaged in the sale of new products and/or rendering services to the public off-site away from the location of the business within the Village center, and may have customers at the location of the business within the Village center. A business without on-site customers shall have regular and consistent hours of operation at the location of the business in relation to other Village center businesses without on-site customers. Common terms for a business under this category may include a business office, office research, general service, health care and social assistance. Nonetheless, businesses without customer traffic may be allowed by approval of the plan commission if the business adds significance to the Village center; such as the business is an employment generator, the aesthetic appeal of the business or the building in which the business is located, or the existing floor plan of the building or tenant space is designed for an office environment.
c. 
A ground floor or 1st floor use facing street means a use with an exterior building wall side facing or along a public right-of-way, which is partially or fully below street level or is at street level.
d. 
A ground floor or 1st floor use not facing a street means a use without any exterior building wall side facing or along a public right-of-way. If a use only has an entrance facing or along a public right-of-way, with the entrance leading to the use via a corridor or stairwell, the use is considered a ground floor or 1st floor use not facing a street.
e. 
An upper floor use means any use located within a building above the 1st floor with accessibility via a stairwell or elevator.
f. 
Wholesaling or jobbing shall be permitted only where retailing is the primary use of the premises. The manufacture, assembly, processing or packaging of goods shall be permitted only when accessory to a permitted use or conditional use. All goods produced on the premises shall be sold at retail on the premises.
g. 
All business, servicing, storage and display of goods shall be conducted within completely enclosed buildings. The following activities and uses are exempt from this requirement.
1. 
Accessory off-street parking and loading.
2. 
Outdoor seating provided by a restaurant, or any other eating or drinking establishment. Any outdoor seating requires a conditional use.
3. 
Any unified special community event that encourages outside display of goods, not to exceed three consecutive days.
h. 
Uses that meet the criteria for permitted uses within this § 100-518(d) shall be approved by the Zoning Administrator. The plan commission shall have the final authority if there is any question if a use meets the criteria for a permitted use.
i. 
Any use forwarded to the plan commission for final determination may be remanded by the plan commission for conditional use consideration if deemed the proposed use requires addition review via a public hearing before final consideration.
(5) 
Performance standards for a temporary use. The intent of this section is to accommodate reasonable requests for interim, temporary or seasonal use within an enclosed building when such activities are desirable and beneficial for the community for limited periods of time. Examples of a temporary use include a health clinic and temporary inoculation center, seasonal sales or display, and use of a temporarily vacant business space for a short term use such as an art gallery or seasonal sales of decorations. Allowance of temporary uses does not supersede regulations pertaining to specific temporary uses included in other code sections of Chapter 100, or other building and health and safety codes. No construction activity or building alterations shall occur to facilitate the temporary use. The Zoning Administrator may take actions to cease operation of any temporary use that does not conform to the standards of this paragraph.
(6) 
Performance standards for residential. Residential allowed as a permitted use or a conditional use within the sub-districts of the Village center overlay zoning district, shall comply with the following performance standards. Residential shall mean an single family building, an individual dwelling unit or group of dwelling units within a mixed use building with business as the main ground floor or 1st floor use, or within a building primarily designed for multi-family residential.

b. 
Residential within the retail center sub-district shall be located only within a building having permitted business space.
c. 
Residential shall conform to all other applicable State of Wisconsin and Village codes for residential construction and public safety.
d. 
Within the retail center sub-district, a church or religious institution shall be limited to one dwelling unit for an on-site parsonage for rector and rector's family of a church or religious institution. Rector means the spiritual leader of a church or religious institution.

Any studio apartment residence at a minimum living area of 600 square feet shall require a conditional use.
f. 
Within the residential perimeter sub-district, the number of residential dwelling units within a building or on a property shall be subject to the regulations of the base zoning district for single family, two-family or multi-family, whichever applies.

**
Green space exceptions: May be required for storm water management or parking lot or as required under site plan review.
***

****
The maximum street yard setback, also known as the build-to line, shall be the average street setback of buildings on the same block between two intersecting streets, or an intersecting street and the edge of the sub-district. When there are not any existing buildings within the same block, or when an excessive street setback of an existing building on the same block creates an average setback that is inconsistent with the intent of this Village center overlay zoning district to create minimal street setbacks, the plan commission shall establish a build-to line pursuant to the intent of creating street level activity. Expanded or renovated existing buildings that do not conform to the maximum street yard setback may nonetheless be allowed to be expanded or renovated.
(2) 
The exceptions to the standards of § 100-153(g)(1) minimum yard requirements (setbacks) for a building or structure are:
a. 
The first story of a building on a corner lot shall not project beyond a straight line drawn between two points on the right-of-way lines adjoining the property, which points are five feet from the intersection of the two right-of-way lines.
b.

If written approval is not provided, the minimum side setback shall be 10 feet.
c. 
The minimum interior yard setback for new construction or an addition shall be 10 feet on the interior side of a property that is adjacent to a single-family or two-family property either within or outside of the Village center overlay zoning district.
d. 
The minimum rear yard setback for new construction or an addition shall be 25 feet on a property that is adjacent to a single-family or two-family property either within or outside of the Village center overlay zoning district.
e. 
When there are no required setbacks, new construction or an addition shall not extend into a public right-of-way or a neighboring property, even if the existing building on the property encroaches the public right-of-way or a neighboring property line.
(3) 
Exceptions to the standards of § 100-153(f)(1) for setbacks and minimum green space may be required by the plan commission during site plan review to comply with storm water management requirements, to add landscaping to parking lots, to add pedestrian friendly or outdoor public spaces, or to improve overall aesthetics of the property and the Village center. Exceptions may include increasing or decreasing the standards.
(4) 
Accessory structures within the Village center overlay zoning district shall conform to the bulk standards as established in the base zoning district.
(h) 
Performance standards for new construction, additions, conversions, exterior remodels or demolitions. The following performance standards shall apply to new construction, additions, exterior remodels or demolitions within the Village center overlay zoning district.
(1) 
Any new construction or addition on a property 0.5 acre or more in size shall be developed under a single development plan with a unified architectural scheme and site plan, to include building facades, street furniture and pedestrian circulation.
(2) 
Site plan and architectural approval by the plan commission is required for new construction, additions or conversions pursuant to the procedures of § 100-601. Architectural approval by the plan commission is required for exterior remodels, pursuant to the procedures of § 100-601. Single-family and two-family buildings within the residential perimeter sub-district are exempt from this review requirement. Site plan and architectural approval shall be part of conditional use review if a use requires a conditional use.
(3) 
Architectural design and exterior building materials and colors of new construction, additions or exterior remodels shall conform to the requirements of the base zoning district. However, the plan commission may adopt architectural design guidelines to further implement the intent and purposes of the Village center overlay zoning district and its sub-districts, which may be amended from time to time.
(4) 
Historical review shall be part of site plan and/or architectural approval, or approval or denial of demolitions, pursuant to Article III of this Chapter 100. Buildings within the Pearl and Grand Avenue Historic District and other buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as shown on the official map on file in the office of the Village Clerk, shall be preserved. The plan commission may adopt additional guidelines for historic review and preservation of buildings or uses of local historic significance to further implement the intent and purposes of the Village center overlay zoning district and its sub-districts, which may be amended from time to time.
(5) 
The demolition of any principal building, or an accessory building over 200 square feet, within the Village center overlay zoning district shall be approved by the plan commission prior to demolition. The plan commission shall establish findings of fact in determining approval or denial of a demolition. Approved demolitions shall conform to the following standards.
a. 
The building or land does not have national, statewide or local historical significance; and there is not a stated public purpose or interest in the land or building to be protected.
b. 
The building or land does not have any historic or architectural relationship to the historic value of the surrounding area.
c. 
The public necessity of the demolition is present and the public benefit of the proposed new construction or land use in replacement of the demolished building supports the intent and purposes of the Village center overlay zoning district and its sub-districts.
d. 
The age, life expectancy or condition of the building or positioning of the building on the property prohibits successful renovation to comply with other standards of the Village center overlay zoning district.
A proposed building demolition that does not meet the above standards shall be denied unless the plan commission finds that demolition provides a public benefit of improvement of land use and aesthetics of the Village. Any move or relocation of a building within the Village center overlay zoning district shall follow the review process and standards as established for demolitions. Any relocation of a building to a property within the Village center overlay zoning district shall require site plan and architectural review by the plan commission.
(6) 
The use of green roofs is strongly encouraged with new construction or additions.
(7) 
The creation of pedestrian connections within and surrounding the property to other pedestrian paths is encouraged with new construction or additions. Creative site planning of including public spaces and orienting the building, parking, public spaces, pedestrian connections, and so on, to fit in and improve to surrounding conditions is strongly encouraged.
(8) 
Design standards for mechanical equipment and refuse enclosures shall conform to the requirements of the base zoning district. However, the plan commission may adopt mechanical and refuse enclosure standards as part of architectural design guidelines to further implement the intent and purposes of the Village center overlay zoning district and its sub-districts, which may be amended from time to time.
(9) 
Exterior lighting fixtures shall be designed or shaded so as to avoid casting direct light or glare toward surrounding properties or streets, and shall conform to the lighting standards of § 100-601.

(10) 
Landscaping standards shall conform to the requirements of the base zoning district. However, the plan commission may adopt landscaping guidelines to implement the intent and purposes of the Village center overlay zoning district and its sub-districts. The plan commission may waive the landscaping requirements or guidelines when there is not any suitable space on the site to install landscaping, or if the installation of landscaping compromises visibility of pedestrians and/or vehicles.
(11) 
Conversions mean the change of use of an existing building from a single family residential use to a permitted or conditional use allowed within the sub-district, or adding residential dwelling units to an existing building if allowed as a permitted or conditional use within the Retail Center or Mixed Use Perimeter sub-districts. An example of a conversion is the change of a single family building within the Mixed Use Perimeter to an office, or the change of an upper floor office space within the Retail Center to residential dwelling units.
(12) 
Signs shall conform to Chapter 64 of Village of Mukwonago Municipal Code.
(i) 
Parking Standards. The standards for vehicle parking within the Village center overlay zoning district are as follows. For most small businesses the providing of on-site parking is not required, and on-street and off-street parking is the responsibility of the Village of Mukwonago. Businesses that are required to provide on-site parking shall do in accordance to the standards of Article V of this Chapter 100. Shared parking agreements allowed in § 100-153(h) may supplement the requirements of this § 100-153(g).
(1) 
Accessory off-street parking is not required for a building with less than 2,500 square feet of gross leasable floor space designed for a business or businesses within the retail center or multi-purpose perimeter sub-districts or if the business or use would be required to provide 10 or less parking spaces if the business or use were not located within the retail center or multi-purpose perimeter sub-districts. Any business approved as a conditional use may be required to provide accessory off-street parking if the plan commission finds that the parking demand of the use is greater than would needed if a permitted use occupied the business space.
(2) 
Accessory off-street parking is required for any building with a gross leasable floor space of 2,500 square feet or larger designed for a business or businesses within the retail center or multi-purpose perimeter sub-districts or if a high capacity business or use would be required to provide more than 10 parking spaces if the business or use were not located within the retail center or multi-purpose perimeter sub-districts. In a multi-purpose building designed for both business and residential, the residential square footage does not count toward the gross leasable space of 5,000 square feet or larger. If above 2,500 square feet, accessory off-street parking is required for any use within the residential perimeter sub-district in conformance with the standards of Article V of this Chapter 100.
(3) 
One accessory off-street parking space is required per bedroom in each residential dwelling unit within the retail center and multi-purpose perimeter sub-districts. A bedroom is any living space not considered a living room, kitchen, bathroom or dining room, for the purpose of this § 100-153.
(4) 
Accessory off-street parking is required for any use within the residential perimeter sub-district in conformance with the standards of Article V of this Chapter 100.
(5) 
Conversions of an existing residential structure to a permitted use or conditional use within the multi-purpose perimeter may retain the existing driveway as parking spaces for the new use.
(6) 
For uses within the retail center or multi-purpose perimeter sub-districts of the Village center overlay zoning district that require off-street parking, or if off-street parking is voluntarily provided, off-street parking facilities design shall comply with all requirements of Article V of this Chapter 100, except as provided below:
a. 
For business off-street parking, a minimum of four spaces shall be provided, including at least one handicapped parking space.
b. 
For residential off-street parking, a parking requirement of four or more spaces shall include at least one handicapped parking space.
c. 
A minimum setback of three feet shall be provided between the edge of parking lot paving and/or curb and the property line.
d. 
The parking lot shall be paved with a dust free surface. The use of curb and gutter to outline the parking area is encouraged.
e. 
The plan commission as part of site plan review may reduce the parking lot aisle width and parking stall size (except handicapped parking spaces) to match existing parking lot sizes or to fit parking into a confined space on a property, without reducing public safety and the ability of proper movements of vehicles and emergency vehicles.
f. 
The plan commission as part of site plan review may waive the parking lot aisle width and parking stall size when an existing driveway is utilized as parking for a residential to business conversion.
g. 
The addition of internal and external parking lot landscaping is encouraged.
h. 
The design of accessory off-street parking shall include safe pedestrian routes within and to and from the parking lot.
(j) 
Shared parking. When accessory off-street parking is required or voluntarily provided within the Village center overlay zoning district, the utilization of shared parking between uses and properties is encouraged in accordance with the following standards.
(1) 
Any use required to provide accessory off-street parking may reduce its parking requirement by up to 75% if an equivalent number of spaces to the amount being reduced are located within 500 feet of the property of the use, and shall be subject to a shared parking agreement. The shared parking may be the parking of any other use inside or outside of the Village center overlay zoning district.
(2) 
Credit for parking spaces which are the subject to a shared parking agreement shall be applicable only when the parties to the agreement are property owners whose property uses have parking demands which are inconsistent with each other (i.e. daytime v. evening, weekdays v. Saturday and/or Sunday). The total off-street parking requirements of the parties of the shared parking agreement may exceed the total number of off-street parking spaces available. The shared parking agreement may extend beyond two property owners.
(3) 
The shared parking agreement shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Village Board, pursuant to the recommendation of the plan commission, and the following conditions are met:
a. 
The agreement shall be signed by the owners of properties, and if necessary owners of the uses, included in the agreement.
b. 
Termination shall require written notice to the non-terminating party or parties and the Village Clerk.
c. 
Termination shall not become effective sooner than six months following the date of the written termination notice.
(k) 
Administration. Administration of this § 100-153 shall be guided by the following terms and conditions.
(1) 
The base zoning district is the primary zoning district that applies to a property. Every property within the Village center has a base zoning district that establishes the primary type and intensity of land use for the property, along with development regulations of this Chapter 100 for that particular type and intensity of land use for the property. The standards within this § 100-153 apply to all properties of the Village center overlay zoning district in lieu of the type and intensity of land use and the development regulations of the base zoning district. If situations arise of the type and intensity of land use and with property maintenance that are not addressed within the standards of the Village center overlay zoning district, development regulations of the base zoning district and this Chapter 100 shall apply. However, any aspect of the development regulations of the base zoning district or Chapter 100 not addressed in the Village center overlay zoning district may conflict with and restrict a new use, redevelopment or new development that otherwise meets the intent of, is permitted in, and conforms to other standards of the Village center overlay zoning district. When a conflict in regulation is identified, upon finding that the intent of the Village center overlay zoning district is maintained, the plan commission may waive the conflicting regulation or establish alternative criteria for the new use, redevelopment or new development to adhere to.
(2) 
The bulk standards of lot size and lot width and/or frontage of § 100-153(g) supersede any similar requirement of Chapter 45, land division, of this Code.
(3) 
Including standards elsewhere within this § 100-153 addressing nonconforming uses, the following shall apply to nonconforming uses.
a. 
Any businesses currently existing and permitted in the base zoning district as of June 29, 2017 that may not be allowed as a permitted use or a conditional use within the sub-district of this Village center overlay zoning district may nonetheless continue within the existing space, and shall be allowed to continue to improve the business, such as facade improvements and change of and use of signs in compliance with Chapter 64. However, the floor space of a nonconforming business shall not be expanded. If the business vacates the floor space, or if an existing business changes its business model, the new business occupying the floor space shall be either a permitted use or a conditional use with the sub-district.
b. 
A building with a use or uses that may not be allowed as a permitted use or a conditional use within the sub-district of this Village center overlay zoning district may nonetheless expand without changing the nonconforming use or uses. However, occupancy of the expansion must be a permitted use or a conditional use within the sub-district. An example of this occurrence is if a building in the retail center sub-district is expanded or remodeled on the upper floors to add residential dwelling units. In that case, any nonconforming 1st floor business use may remain.
c. 
A building with a use or uses that may not be allowed as a permitted use or a conditional use within the sub-district of this Village center overlay zoning district may nonetheless complete facade improvements without changing the nonconforming use or uses.
(4) 
The terms existing use, existing condition or similar term means the property use or uses, building, or conditions that existed at the time of adoption of this § 100-153.
(5) 
Within this § 100-153, the terms building and structure are applied interchangeably.
(6)

Landscaping. Landscaping plans are subject to plan commission review and approval. Any alteration to that plan shall be subject to further plan commission review and approval.
a. 
The minimum number of trees on a site shall be calculated based on the principal street frontage; one tree is required for each 20 feet. For lots that have minimal frontage due to the existence of satellite lots in an unified retail center arrangement, the frontage shall be considered the width of the lot measured at the frontage of the building or buildings on the lot.
b. 
In addition to the required minimum number of trees, one additional required tree shall be planted for 8,712 square feet of total lot area (i.e., five trees per acre). One-third of all such trees shall be planted in the front yard and/or in areas with the highest potential of public view.
c. 
In addition to the required plantings in areas with the highest potential of public view, the landscaping shall be distributed throughout the site with emphasis on screening of unsightly site elements, such as refuse enclosures, utility boxes, building mechanical equipment and service doors and loading docks.
d. 
Additional plantings of trees (deciduous and evergreen), ornamental trees and shrubs above the minimum required herein shall be planted consistent with the aesthetic style of the building.
e. 
Trees.
1. 
Deciduous trees shall be a minimum of three-inch caliper and evergreens a minimum of six feet at a time of planting.
2. 
All trees shall be hardy, urban tolerant and disease resistant.
3. 
Efforts to protect and retain existing trees should be noted on the landscape plan.
f. 
Landscaping shall not obstruct fire department view of external fire alarms or access to the building, and shall not obstruct vision triangles for both external or internal traffic flow.
g. 
The natural topography shall be used in the design and layout of the site.
h. 
All landscaping shall be completed within nine months following issuance of an occupancy permit.
i. 
All plantings must be maintained. If at any time, required trees shall die, be damaged or destroyed, such trees must be replaced in the original approximate location.
j. 
Prior to issuance of any building permit for the subject property a letter of credit shall be submitted to the Village in a form acceptable to the Village Attorney. The letter of credit shall be in the amount of the estimated cost of landscape materials and installation, plus an additional 10% for Village administrative costs (refundable if landscaping completed by applicant), with said estimated cost verified by a representative of the Village. If landscaping is installed in phases, the Village may reduce the letter of credit to an amount of the remaining estimated cost. However, the Village shall retain 25% of the original letter of credit amount for one full year from the date of full landscape plan installation. Should landscaping not be completed within nine months of occupancy, or if landscape materials that do not survive one full growing season are not replaced, the Village shall draw upon the letter of credit as funds to complete or replace landscaping.
