     9.      Equestrian Trails and Related Facilities. The following standards shall govern the

establishment of equestrian trails and easements within the City:

           a.          If  required  by  Table  6.01-1   (Traditional  Single-Family  Residential

Development Standards) of this Section, an unobstructed 8-FT wide easement for equestrian trail purposes shall be dedicated immediately adjacent to the front property line. Furthermore, if determined necessary by the Planning Director, additional 8-FT wide equestrian trail easements may be required at the end of blocks, and along interior side, street side, or rear property lines, to create connections to adjacent public streets or equestrian trail easements. Moreover, if determined by the Planning Director that providing equestrian easements on both sides of a street is not necessary or practical, the requirement to provide equestrian trail easements may be waived.

           b.       Trails shall not be surfaced with hard materials such as concrete or asphalt.

Preferred surface materials include wood chips, decomposed granite, and shale;

Division 6.01—District Standards and Guidelines

            c.     Fencing built at the edge of an easement shall not be over 48 inches in

height; an additional inch of height shall be allowed for every 2 inches that the fence is setback from the easement. Within 4 FT of the easement, fences shall not be opaque for more than 50% of their surface area. Wooden rail and wood plank fencing are preferred, while chainlink and wrought iron fencing should be avoided. Entries to individual properties should be accentuated with hitching posts and gates;

           d.     Entrances to an equestrian  trail from the  street  shall allow the free

movement of pedestrians and equestrians. Vehicular access to the trail may be limited by removable bollards or a gate and should be designed to permit emergency vehicle access and occasional vehicular access by residents, as shown in Figure 6.01-4 (Equestrian Trail Step-Through Entry Design) and Figure 6.01-5 (Equestrian Trail Steel Barrier Gate Entry Design). Street crossing by pedestrians and equestrians should be facilitated at the street-trail entry by restricting on-street parking, narrowing paved widths (to minimize crossing distances), and marking the crossing with striping and signs.

    10.       Infill Traditional Single-Family Dwellings. Infill traditional single-family dwellings within

existing residential neighborhoods are to be complementary with the character of the surrounding neighborhood in which they are proposed in terms of building height, setbacks, general architectural style, and use of exterior finish materials, and shall comply with the following standards:
