Trees, shrubs, plants and other vegetation are not to encroach into or onto adjoining lots or common areas. This includes the root ball or root system, as well as the crown or foliage of a tree, shrub or other vegetation at maturity. Planting of trees on a property line is not per- mitted except where zero lot line and Z lot line easement conditions exist. In these easement conditions, the trees and shrubs cannot en- croach into or onto the adjoining lots, as defined by the easement line and not the lot line. (See Appendix Diagram C for additional information regarding side yard easements.) All tree and plant material must be maintained in a manner to allow sufficient lighting to the street and/or sidewalk below for which it was intended. Tree/plant material is not permitted to overhang any portion of the street light. A 3-5 foot clearance of all tree/plant material is recommended as a guideline however a larger set back may be required depending upon, but not limited to, the tree/plant type, location and density.
