Prior to receiving a site plan or building permit, a landscaping plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Borough Manager or their designee in accordance with all instructions, the payment of all fees associated, and compliance with all standards set forth in this Article IV. The landscaping plan shall include all of the following:

(1) All required buffer areas with proposed plantings (identifying each proposed tree, bush or shrub by type and size), drawn to scale and identifying the height and width of any proposed mounds.
(2) All required planting independent of any buffer area requirements (identifying each tree, bush or shrub by type and size, the use of sod or seeding, etc.), drawn to scale.
(3) Any existing trees or vegetation that is to be preserved, accurately identifying type, size and their relative location.
(4) Any existing trees or vegetation that will be removed, accurately identifying their type, size and relative location.

All landscaping required to be installed herein shall be maintained in accordance with an approved landscape plan with landscaped areas maintained with plantings in good health and free of refuse and debris. It shall be the responsibility of the owner/applicant to assure the continued growth of all required landscaping and/or to replace the same in the event of frost, vandalism, disease or other reasons for the discontinued growth of the required trees, shrubs and bushes.

A maintenance bond in the form of cash, certified check or letter of credit shall be posted with the Borough in the amount of 15% of the total cost of landscaping shown on the approved landscaping plan for a period of two years from the date of installation of the landscaping materials. The maintenance bond shall guarantee replacement of the required landscaping materials during the term of the bond.
