To that end, the BVPD project shall adhere to the following Open Space management standards: a. The eastern portion of the project shall. abide by the following Open Space requirements: i. There shall be a one hundred fifty (150) foot undisturbed, natural buffer along the perimeter of the BVPD property directly adjacent to the Clearview single-family residential subdivision that is located along West Ten Road, ii. There shall be a one hundred fifty (150) foot undisturbed, natural buffer along the eastern property line of the BVPD property.

There shall be a one hundred (100) foot undisturbed, natural buffer along the northern property line running parallel with Interstate 85 or as approved herein, ii. The developer shall thin existing vegetation to create visual breaks within this buffer in approximately twenty-five (25) percent of the required Open Space, in accordance with the Orange County regulations and the following standards: a. These areas shall only be utilized to develop stormwater retention ponds. There shall be no permanent structure erected within this area that are intended to provide a service consistent with the BVPD project (i.e. a commercial business), b. Disturbed vegetation will be replaced with indigenous, drought resistant vegetation that will achieve a height of six (6) feet within five (5) years in an. effort to re-establish the opaque nature of the buffer, c. The western portion of the project, running parallel with Buckhorn Road, shall abide by the following Open Space requirements: i. There shall be a twenty-five (25) Open Space area along the western property line, ii. The developer shall install earthen berms, three (3) to four (4) feet in height, and add additional landscaping around six (6) existing single-family residential properties along Buckhorn Road for additional Open Space protection. iii.
