4a. Medians (curbed and"/or landscaped) are generally not permitted on roadways
where they create islands that can restrict access and that can significantly slow the
response of and/or cause damage to emergency vehicles. This provision also
includes the prohibition of any speed bumps or speed dips. Exception: If there are
roadways located on both sides ofthe median and each roadway is no less than
twenty foot (20') wide, with No Parking on either side. Landscaping shall also be
such that upon maturity it will not encroach into the airspace of the fire lane for a
height of L3'- 6".
4b. Roadway-level bricks, stamped-concrete or crushed-gravel that is rolled and/or
tamped may be substituted for medians. Where a median-like design is desired, in
Iieu of raised medians, grade-level landscaping (grass over turf-blocks) may be
allowed on the medians. This also applies to any and all "roundabouts". There may
not be any fixed-objects (light standards, trees, bushes, decorative rocks, monument
signs etc.) on islands or roundabouts located in roadways or on cul-de'sacs. Atl
curbins on medians and roundabouts must be torolled"or 66mountable". No Parking
/ Fire Lane signage may also be required.
