This document is provided as a guideline for the construction, placement and support of earth filled planting containers located on terrace surfaces. In all cases such containers shall be subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors of this Corporation.

Submission Requirements

DEPENDING UPON THE SCOPE OF THE PROPOSAL, THE BOARD MAY REQUIRE A DRAWING AT THE SCALE OF 1/4" = 1'-0" INDICATING THE LAYOUT OF PLANTERS AND THE DIMENSION AND CALCULATED WEIGHT OF EACH PLANTER SHALL BE SUBMITTED FOR EACH TERRACE PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION OR INSTALLATION OF PLANTERS. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL APPROVE OR PROVIDE THEIR COMMENTS IN DISAPPROVING EACH PLAN IN WRITING. COSTS OF PREPARATION AND REVIEW OF SUCH PLANS ARE TO BE BORNE BY THE SHAREHOLDER.

TERRACE PLANS WILL BECOME PART OF THE CORPORATION'S FILES, AND ANY CONSTRUCTION NOT APPROVED BY THE BOARD WILL BE REMOVED AT SHAREHOLDER'S EXPENSE FOLLOWING TWO WEEI< ADVANCE NOTICE TO THE SHAREHOLDER BY THE BUILDING MANAGEMENT.

Weight of Planters

The total calculated weight of all planters on any terrace surface shall not exceed three (3) pounds per square foot on the total terrace area (i.e., a 300 square foot terrace may have no more than 900 pounds of planters).

The maximum calculated weight of any planter without soil shall be 50 pounds. Planters of construction exceeding 50 pounds shall have their soil capacity reduced accordingly.

The maximum weight of saturated soil within any planter shall be 200 pounds.

The weight of saturated soil shall be taken to be 65 pounds per cubic foot for the purpose of calculating planter weight.

The maximum volume of any planter shall not exceed three (3) cubic feet. Any combination of internal dimensions may be used to achieve this volume (e.g., 12" x 12" x 36" or 12" x 24" x 18”).

The maximum height of any planting shall be eight (8) feet with a maximum spread of four (4) feet.

Placement of Planters

Planters shall be spaced so as not to create weight in excess of 30 pounds per square foot over any contiguous area of 30 square feet or more.

Planters shall not be placed closer than 10" to any wall or parapet, drain or pitch box. On small terraces or balconies, waiver requests to reduce this to no less than four inches may be submitted to the corporation for review on a case by case basis.

Planters shall not block access or egress from or to any area of roof or terrace.

Planters shall not be placed on any parapet or r d n g structure.

No planter shall be placed on any area of the roof not containing a paving system approved by the Building Architect.

No planter shall be placed directly on gravel ballast or directly on roofing membranes.

Planters shall not be placed on or hung from any raised structure penthouse wall or roof, or attached in any way to the building exterior.

Support of Planters

No planter shall rest directly on roof or deck surface.

Bearing blocks of stone or concrete measuring 6" x 6" x 2" shall be placed under each square or rectangular planter; one block shall be provided for each two (2) square feet of base area.

Planter Construction

Planters shall be constructed so as to be self-supporting.

Planters shall be constructed of rot-resistant wood species, plastic or other durable lightweight materials. Non-ferrous fasteners shall be used.

Planters must have an adequate number of drainage holes at the bottom of the container or not higher than 2-1/2" from the bottom.

Soil

Planters shall be filled with a mix of perlite and topsoil. The weight of the moisture shall not exceed 65 pounds per cubic foot when saturated. A combination of 1/3 perlite and 2/3 topsoil will normally weigh less than 65 pounds per cubic foot, when saturated with water. Large plants and shrubs shall be anchored to their planters with guy wires to prevent their uprooting in high winds. Perlite and soil mixture is not as dense as natural soil and provides less root support.

Maintenance

Tenants shall be entirely responsible for the maintenance of all plant materials and containers, and shall maintain all roof drains clear of debris and leaves.

The responsibility for, and the cost of, moving any tenant installed planting to permit the building to do normal and/or emergency repairs or maintenance shall be borne by the tenant.

Automatic watering systems are not permitted, unless specifically approved by the Board of Directors. Outdoor carpeting, wood decks, or other terrace surface covers are prohibited.

General Notes

When roof loading are at or near the loads specified herein, an engineer shall be consulted at shareholder's expense to review plan.

These specifications do not take into account extraordinary loads imposed by immovable furniture, sculpture, fountains, gazebos or other structures. All such constructions shall be subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors.

Every effort shall be made to distribute the weight of terrace construction over the greatest possible surface area to avoid the compression or movement of underlying waterproofing membranes which may result in leakage. Concentration of weight may also cause bending in budding structure, masonry displacement and damage to interior plaster.
