CITY OF ANAHEIM DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION MANUAL FOR PUBLIC STREET AND HIGHWAY RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND EASEMENTS Policies and Guidelines Procedures Specifications Standard Drawings August 2003 ---PAGE BREAK--- TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION DIVISION I Policies and Guidelines DIVISION II Procedures DIVISION III Specifications DIVISION IV Standard Plans and Details ---PAGE BREAK--- INTRODUCTION Purpose The City of Anaheim is a dynamic, growing community engaged in redevelopment as well as new developments. As the City is noted for the landscape personality of its streets and highways, there is an apparent need to uphold this identity. This Landscape and Irrigation Manual is presented as a tool to build on the City's beautification legacy. The objective of the Landscape and Irrigation Manual is to provide a formalized guide to City staff, designers, and developers for new and refurbished improvements in the public street and highway rights-of-way and easements. The mission of the manual is to: 1. Articulate City policies related to the beautification of Anaheim's public street and highway rights-of-way and easements. 2. Formulate policies and guidelines to guide City staff, designers, and developers through the planning and design development and approval process. 3. Develop procedures in sufficient detail to accomplish aesthetic, construction, and maintenance objectives while providing latitude in design. 4. Provide standard specifications and drawings to achieve consistency in construction and promote public safety. Use of this Manual The format of this manual is designed to expedite preparation of landscape and irrigation construction documents. Each division has a purpose, from describing desired results to eliminating the need for development of special details and specifications for each project. A detailed Table of Contents and a complete Index are included to assist the user. Division I – Policies and Guidelines presents a results oriented overview, the "who, what, and why" for these public landscapes. All projects must conform to the applicable policies and guidelines. Division II – Procedures outlines the formal process for plan preparation, submittal, and approval, providing the "where and when." Each project shall follow the required steps to approval. Division III – Specifications and Division IV Standard Drawings are to be used in conjunction with the "Greenbook" Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction and its companion publication Standard Plans for Public Works Construction. The included standard specifications and drawings modify, replace, or supplement the "Greenbook" provisions to which they are referenced. These are the "how" for the construction documents.

It is the policy of the City of Anaheim that all street trees selected for planting within the right-of-way be chosen from the City of Anaheim's Street Tree List. On major arterial streets, the City of Anaheim Master Street Tree Plan for Arterial Corridors will provide the basis for the tree species to be selected. Final tree selection shall be made by the City Engineer. An appointment must be scheduled by telephoning (714) 765-6920. Emphasize species that require relatively low levels of corrective training and pruning, and that the ultimate natural mature size is compatible with the width of the median islands or other planted areas. Container size of trees at the time of planting will be determined based on the growth rate of the trees and their ultimate placement within the medians or other planted areas. Refer to Appendix II – Acceptable Street Tree Palette. 5-1.2 Shrubs and Groundcover Selection. Selection of species shall concentrate on low maintenance plant types as approved by the City Engineer. Refer to Appendix III – Acceptable Plant Palette. 5-1.3 Design Considerations. Tree planting locations will offer variety in planting schemes, including some staggering of alignment and grouping of trees, yet removed from the edge of curb sufficiently to allow natural maturity without conflicts with vehicular movement. Shrub planting shall feature drifts or mass plantings of shrubs that display flower color and/or unique foliage color. Mulch, creeping ground covers and sprawling shrubs shall be used in planting schemes to cover bare soil. 5-1.4 Turf. Turf shall be used only under special circumstances approved by the City Engineer. Turf variety selected must be a medium textured, low maintenance cultivar approved by the City Engineer. If the selected variety is available only from seed, the Engineer will allow either contract-grown sod or seeding. Under the contract-grown sod option, the landscape establishment and maintenance period shall be a minimum of 90-calendar days which may be extended based on the weather and time of year. Under the seeding option, the landscape establishment and maintenance period shall be a minimum of 150-calendar days which may be exended based on the weather and time of year. 5-1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 5-1.5 Availability. Owner/consultant shall ensure that the plant material species noted on the approved plans will be available upon the commencement of construction. If necessary, the owner/consultant shall make references on the approved plans regarding plant procurement by the Contractor. 5-2 PLANT MATERIAL INSPECTION 5-2.1 Inspection. Plants will be inspected by the City Engineer prior to any planting. Where container-grown plants are from several sources, the roots of not less than two plants of each species or variety from each source will be inspected. In case the sample plants inspected are found to be defective, the Engineer reserves the right to reject the entire lot or lots of plants represented by the defective samples. The Engineer is the sole judge as to acceptability. Trees will be inspected and tagged by a representative of the City Engineer at the nursery source prior to shipping. These trees will again be inspected by the representative upon delivery to the project site. All other plants will be inspected on the project site upon delivery. 5-2.2 Standards. All plants, including trees, must be healthy, shapely, full-grown specimens for their species and container size. Plans that are too small or too large for their respective container size; that are root bound and/or not fully rooted throughout the container; and that are diseased, scarred, disfigured or poorly trained will be rejected. 5-3 INSTALLATION 5-3.1 General. All landscape planting shall be installed in compliance with the approved plans and specifications for the project, including the Standard Specifications and Standard Special Provisions. 5-3.2 Erosion Control. All sloped landscaped areas 3:1 and steeper shall have jute mesh installed for erosion control purposes. 5-4 MAINTENANCE/ESTABLISHMENT 5-4.1 General. All landscaped areas are subject to a 90-calendar day minimum, 180-calendar day maximum, landscape maintenance period. The period shall be specified based on type of planting and time of year of installation. Maintenance period can be extended by the Engineer if the area has not been maintained properly and is not in acceptable condition at the end of the maintenance period. In the landscape areas that require turf seeding, the maintenance/establishment period shall have an additional 60 calendar days along with the 90-calendar day minimum and 180-calendar day maximum maintenance/establishment. 5-2 ---PAGE BREAK--- When turf is part of the landscaped areas to be maintained/established, the following shall apply: a) Sodded Areas – Normal maintenance and establishment periods. b) Seeded Areas – Normal maintenance and establishment periods plus additional 60 calendar days. See Specification section for maintenance and plant establishment requirements. 5-4.2 At completion of the last planting, the Contractor shall request an inspection of all landscaped areas by the City Engineer. If all areas are acceptable, the Contractor will be issued a letter indicating acceptance and authorization to proceed into the maintenance and plant establishment period. The City Engineer may reject all or any portion of the work which is not acceptable at the time of inspection and order corrective measures be performed by the Contractor at no expense to the City. All areas rejected will be maintained by the Contractor at his expense until acceptance is issued by the City Engineer. In addition, all landscaped planting areas (including hydroseeded or broadcast seeded area) shall be treated with an approved herbicide application according to manufacturer's recommendations to ensure a weed free condition prior to City acceptance of the work. 5.5 GUARANTEE All landscape installed under the contract shall be guaranteed for the periods noted below against any and all poor, inadequate, or inferior materials, and/or workmanship for the noted period following the date the Project Notice of Completion is filed with the County Recorder.
