<br />Notes <br /> <br />MF Guide <br />Reference <br />PD06 <br /> <br />o Design for Safety: Residence Entries <br />All home entrances have visibility such that children can view who is calling from inside AND the <br />entrance can be seen from common areas or other front doors. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Vandalism Deterrence & Management: Vandalism Management Plan <br />Project includes a vandalism management plan that has these three elements: construction <br />management practices to reduce job-site vandalism, design elements to deter graffiti and vandals, <br />and a vandalism management plan for dealing with disturbances post-occupancy. <br /> <br />POOl <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Landscaping: Evaluate Climate, Exposure & Soil <br />Determine the landscape climate zone(s) for the site (see Sunset@climatezones in the Bay <br />Friendly Landscaping Guidelines), as well as microclimates found on the site. Consider shady <br />areas, hot spots, wet or dry areas, zones with difficult access, and more. Assess the soil through a <br />soil analysis report. Select plants that match the microclimate and soil conditions. <br /> <br />PO 08 <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />PO 08 <br /> <br />Landscaping: Limit Turf Area <br />No turf for purely aesthetic purposes. Turf constitutes 30% or less of the total landscaped areas <br />for suburban projects; 10% or less for urban projects. Note: Do not check box if project will not <br />have landscaping. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />PO 08 <br /> <br />Landscaping: Water Conservation <br />Implement hydrozoning by grouping plants by water needs and irrigate appropriately. Divide ltIe <br />landscape into low, medium and high water-use zones. Irrigation systems are high efficiency <br />(including drip irrigation and low-flow sprinkler heads), and have controls to limit water use when <br />not needed. Note: Do not check box if project will not have landscaping. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />P006 <br /> <br />Landscaping: Compost and Mulch <br />Amend soil with a minimum of 1 inch of certified compost (no nitrolized sawdust) and apply a min <br />of 2-inches of mulch to surface of soil. Note: Do not check box if project will not have landscaping. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />P008 <br /> <br />Landscaping: Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan <br />An IPM plan is in place during design and implemented during construction. The plan gives <br />recommendations on plant selection, placement, and watering to prevent pest problems, and <br />significantly reduces or eliminates pesticides. <br /> <br />U0 <br /> <br />PO 09 <br /> <br />Cool Site: Reduce Thermal Pollution <br />Project uses light-colored paving materials (albedo of 0.30 or greater), open-grid paving materials, <br />decomposed granite, resin emulsified pavement, or crushed rock for a minimum of 30% of the <br />paved areas. Alternatively, trees are planted such that they will provide shade over 30% of the <br />paved areas within 5 years. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />PD10 <br /> <br />Stormwater Management: Rate & Quantity <br />Impervious surfaces are minimized by installing permeable paving, gravel, or other porous surface <br />for 25% of the paved areas. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />PO 10 <br /> <br />Stormwater Management: Rate & Quantity <br />Delay stormwater flows into storm drains through the use of swales, detention ponds or similar <br />measures. Prevent erosion by covering all bare soil on site with plantings or mulch. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />PD10 <br /> <br />Stormwater Management: Treatment <br />Bio-swales are used instead of oiUwater separators to treat run-off from paved surfaces. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />ENERGY STARe Qualified Homes: Intent <br />For new construction: Meelthe intent of ENERGY STAR certification by achieving at least 15% <br />better energy efficiency than code for entire project. Certification is not required for this point. <br />For renovation projects: Achieve at least 25% increase in existing energy efficiency. <br /> <br />PO 11 <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />--- --- <br />Moisture Shedding & Mold Avoidance: Construction <br />An exhaust fan is located in every bathroom AND is controlled by a humidistat device.
