2.1.3 Aesthetic Maintenance Procedures: a) Graffiti Removal: The timely removal of graffiti will restore the aesthetic quality of the pervious pavement system. Removal can be accomplished by paint or other cover, or removal with scrapers, solvents or cleansers. Timely removal is important to discourage further graffiti and other acts of vandalism. b) Grass Trimming/Landscape Maintenance: The lawn areas around the pervious pavement system shall be mowed on a regular basis as necessary to maintain the lawn at a height of 2 to 3-inches. These areas shall also be fertilized twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Fertilizer for lawn areas shall be 10-20-10 applied at a rate of 11 lbs. per 1,000 sf. or as determined by a soil test. Any bare, dead or damaged lawn areas shall be re-seeded in accordance with the original procedures as outlined in the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plans using the same mix and seeding rates. Stabilization of bare or damaged areas shall be done in a timely fashion so as to avoid exposing the soil to erosion. If season prevents the re-establishment of turf cover, exposed areas should be stabilized with straw or salt hay mulch as described in the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plans until permanent seeding can be done. Seeding can be done between March 15th and June 15th and between September 15th and December 1st, only if adequate water is provided. The shrubs around the pervious pavement system should also be maintained in order to promote a neat appearance and healthy, vigorous growth. All shrubs should be allowed to grow together in masses as shown on the plans and not pruned into individual plants. The planting beds should be mulched with hardwood mulch every two (2) years in order to provide a suitable growing medium for the shrubbery and to retain moisture around the root zones. Pruning of shrubs should also be done on a regular basis to maintain the shape and appearance of the shrub masses. The height of the shrubs may vary according to the plants natural growth habits, but should not exceed 6-feet. Pruning should be done as necessary throughout the year to remove dead branches and to control new growth. Any pruning, other than the removal of dead branches, should be done in either late winter/early spring or after the shrub has flowered in the spring. In the event that a shrub should experience more

Any pruning, other than the removal of dead branches, should be done in either late winter/early spring or after the shrub has flowered in the spring. In the event that a shrub should experience more than 2/3 die back, it should be replaced in kind as soon as possible in either the spring or fall planting season. The replacement shrub should be the same species as the original and installed at the size and condition as specified on the original landscape plans. If, for any reason, a substitution of species or size must be made, it shall be subject to the approval of the project Landscape Architect. 8
