<br /> Where such area is not naturally wooded, it shall be suitably planted with sufficient trees and under story
<br /> vegetation, of a type common in natural areas of Mashpee, to replicate a naturally wooded area and to
<br /> constitute a visual barrier between the proposed development and the roadway.Under no circumstances will
<br /> parking, retention ponds, or any other development involving natural vegetation be permitted within said
<br /> area. Limited, appropriate tree surgery or similar limited maintenance required to protect the health of
<br /> vegetation in this area may be allowed with the approval of the special permit authority which originally
<br /> authorized the project which included said area or,if no special permit was required,with the approval of a
<br /> majority of the Planning Board.In Commercial and Industrial Districts,any land within the side and rear lot
<br /> lines shall have at a minimum a ten(10)foot vegetated buffer,either in its natural state or in accordance with
<br /> a landscape plan approved by the Design Review Committee,with the recommendation made to the Zoning
<br /> Board of Appeals or the Planning Board. Said buffer may be waived, as part of a special permit decision,
<br /> where the special permit granting authority determines that such buffer would be inappropriate for the area
<br /> and where there is a written agreement to said waiver by the abutting property owner.
