Upon completion of each residential unit, each residence must comply with the landscaping
requirements of any applicable City of Princeton ordinances, specifically Ordinance No. 2001-0103 and 2003-02-18-02 and all Association Rules. The provisions of this section are deemed to be
the minimum standards and shall apply to all new construction. Builders and Owners are hereby
placed on notice that the City of Princeton has specific requirements for landscaping which include
the need for permits, submission of detailed landscape plans, certain tree removal and tree
protection restrictions as well as a pre-approved list of allowed trees and shrubs. Whitewing

the list and restrictions are not all inclusive therefore, and it is the Builders and/or Owners
responsibility to ensure compliance with all City of Princeton landscape restrictions and
ordinances prior to commencing installation. Should there be any discrepancy between the
guidelines listed below and any City of Princeton ordinances, the higher standard shall
always prevail.
The following landscape elements shall be installed prior to occupancy of the residence:
1.1.1
Sod: Each residence shall have full sod installed for the entire front, sides, and rear
yard and a minimum of ten (10) feet back from the front wall face for each side
yard, or to the side yard fence, whichever is greater. Non-living landscape
materials such as wood chips and gravel may only be used under trees, shrubs, and
other plants and only after obtaining the prior written consent of the Reviewer.
Sod shall be clean and reasonably free of weeds and noxious pests and insects.
