Chapter 1 | Introduction and Overview

Implementation

The Implementation section (Chapter 7) addresses the design review process. A single coordinated process in the Facilities Department for reviewing planned maintenance work, renovations, and new construction projects is recommended.

Having a structured process with trained personnel has a significant impact on improving base appearance consistency and quality.

IAP FORMAT

Design Guides

The Design Guides provide overarching guidance for the following elements:

• Chapter 2 Site Design

• Chapter 3 Architecture

• Chapter 4 Building Color

• Chapter 5 Landscape Architecture

• Chapter 6 Signage

The Design Guides should be used by MCAS Iwakuni personnel and contractors to guide new projects, renovations, and maintenance work and to ensure unified installation appearance.

The Design Guides should be disseminated to government personnel with design responsibilities and to all relevant personnel at the start of each project.

Specific IAP related resources are listed in each chapter for ease of reference.

Chapter 5 | Landscape Architecture

Landscape architecture applies artistic and scientific principles to the planning, design, and management of the natural and built environment. Through the arrangement of planting, landforms, and site amenities, landscape architecture helps create environments that are useful, aesthetically pleasing, safe, and enjoyable.

It is the goal of MCAS Iwakuni to implement appropriate and responsible landscape architecture throughout the Station, in line with budget allowances and considerations for unique project requirements.

In general, landscape architecture should be provided to:

• Enhance and organize the Station’s environment

• Visually organize buildings or a complex of buildings

• Enhance the Station’s architecture

• Link facilities with pedestrian connections

• Facilitate sustainability

• Encourage the use of outdoor facilities

This chapter provides guidance for landscape architecture in two sections: landscaping and site amenities. The landscaping section focuses on the planned arrangement of planting and natural landforms. The site amenities section focuses on the integration of built forms and furnishings that provide for the comfort, convenience, or enjoyment of a site.

Both landscaping and site amenities contribute to the overall makeup of landscape architecture.

Whenever possible, projects should allocate the industry standard of 3-4% of new construction costs for landscape architecture. These costs should be moderated with the unique requirements of the project and the master plan for the Station to ensure that the appropriate, rather than minimum, amount of landscape architecture is installed.

APPLICATION OF THE GUIDELINES

The landscape architecture guidelines shall apply to all landscaping and site amenities at MCAS Iwakuni. Since landscaping affects other topics in these guidelines, designers shall coordinate the guidance of this chapter with other chapters to minimize possible conflicts.

The landscape architecture chapter provides guidance for required and desired landscaping and site amenities for the Station. Designers shall consult the master plan to coordinate landscape architecture elements with the overall Station layout. Where these guidelines provide options, designers may select from the elements presented to accommodate the specific requirements of the project.

Some of the graphic presentations in this chapter are meant to illustrate the concepts presented and to provide visual reference for preferred elements. The intent of providing these suggestions is to increase communication between designers and the Facilities Department on achieving the desired character for the installation.

LANDSCAPE CHARACTER

The landscape character for MCAS Iwakuni is intended to be consistent across the Station, express variation to avoid monotony, and reflect the local cultural sense of place.

To achieve the intended character, the landscape shall blend native and adaptive plants in a design expression that meets the standards, ideals, and functions of the USMC.

In general, the landscape shall:

Incorporate durable plant material and landscape features•

Incorporate native and adaptive plants that are appropriate • to the climate and site

Commemorate the culture of Japan through the use of • native plants and design elements

Balance of Variety and Consistency

Diverse architecture is inherent to military installations. The landscape design of MCAS Iwakuni can provide a unifying element by blending, screening and softening the variety of architectural forms and expressions, as well as provide buffers or transitional areas between different land uses.

While landscape design should be coordinated to provide a consistent landscape character, effort should also be made to provide variety and interest. The key is to find a balance between consistency and variety.

Local Landscaping Considerations

Landscaping at MCAS Iwakuni presents challenges due to the environmental and soil conditions:

• High water table

• Salt spray

• Saline soil

• Fill soil with varying characteristics

• Poor soil quality due to lack of organic material

The existing plant inventory is quite minimal and there is a limited record of proven performance of plant species, especially large canopy trees. In addition, the more mature

the Station.

The Recommended Plant List provided in Appendix B Plant Material identifies a variety of plant materials that are

planting location constraints, the landscape architect must use personal judgement in selecting the appropriate materials for each specific situation.

Typhoons occasionally pass near Iwakuni, but rarely strike the area directly. However, as much of the damage from typhoons is to vegetation, the selection and location of appropriate plant materials is important.

Japanese Culture

In support of Executive Order 13148, Beneficial Landscaping, it is Navy policy to “use regionally native plants for landscaping.” Native plants have adapted to survive in climatic conditions that exist in the area and often require less water, care and maintenance.

Native plants are also an important part of a region’s cultural heritage. These plants were intertwined with the daily lives of the Japanese and were used for food, paper, medicine, fuel, dyes, construction and tools.

The use of native plants will serve as a means through which people might learn about Japanese culture, for example:

long history of the Maple as the subject of poems, novels, paintings and other art forms

The intent is not to suggest the creation of traditional Japanese gardens throughout the installation. While they may be appropriate at high profile areas, such gardens tend to be high maintenance due to extensive pruning requirements. The use of elements of traditional Japanese garden design such as rock, cobblestone, gravel, gates, and fencing is encouraged, where appropriate.

Sakura or Cherry Trees (Prunus spp.) planted at the Theater; the use of namesake plants provides meaning to building names

Traditional Japanese gardens may be appropriate at high visual impact areas, but typically require high maintenance due to extensive pruning requirements

Rock and gravel, elements of traditional Japanese garden design, may be used to create an attractive and low maintenance landscape

LANDSCAPE PLANNING

Good landscape planning can positively affect the visual environment of the Station and reduce maintenance costs.

Choosing appropriate plant material for a given location and properly locating the plants are key in creating excellent landscaping.

Landscape planning elements discussed in this section include:

Plant Protection and Preservation•

Designing for Minimal Maintenance•

All landscape plans shall be prepared and stamped by a licensed landscape architect.

Designing for Minimal Maintenance

All landscapes require some degree of maintenance. The level of maintenance can be reduced through the selection of appropriate landscaping material, careful siting, and proper

SUSTAINABILITY

• Energy Conservation - The placement of plant materials can significantly increase energy efficiency;

locate deciduous trees to shade south, west and east-facing windows and walls in the summer and allow for winter solar heat gain; do not plant evergreen trees that will block southern exposures in the winter when the sun is lower in the sky

• Reduce Stormwater Runoff and Improve Hydrology – Plant materials intercept and store rainfall, delaying the onset of peak flows

• Erosion and Dust Control - Plant material reduces splash and runoff or sheet flow erosion and controls dust by stabilizing the soil

• Improve Air Quality – Plant materials absorb gaseous pollutants through leaf surfaces, intercept particulate matter and release oxygen through photosynthesis

Deciduous trees provide shade at the playground in the summer, but allows for solar access in the winter

5 - 9 installation. Appendix C provides a comprehensive list of guidelines for designing for minimal maintenance; below are highlights:

Guidelines

• Plant trees instead of shrubs whenever possible to maximize the benefits to the environment and visual impacts. Select the largest trees possible to achieve maximum effect.

Use a combination of evergreen and deciduous trees to • provide summer shade and winter solar access

Provide only a temporary irrigation system during the plant • establishment period due to the annual rainfall

Allow plants to conform to their natural shape; this allows • the plant to mature in a healthy manner, and saves on resources required for trimming Add organic matter into the soil to provide nutrients, • improve drainage, and improve the water and nutrient-holding capacity of the soil Provide a gravel or concrete maintenance strip around the • perimeter of buildings

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

Avoid litter-producing plants near the airfield and related • maintenance areas

surfaces of the airfield

Avoid landscaping that will encourage birds and other • wildlife from visiting or utilizing the airfield

maintenance shrub that does not require regular pruning

Icho or Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba);

locally available tree that is low maintenance, drought tolerant, pest and disease-resistant and tolerates most soils

Shrubs

Exercise care to avoid ‘girdling’ shrubs located in turf • areas

Trim and prune shrubs for health, safety and aesthetic • appearance; do not allow shrubs to obstruct vision at intersections, entranceways, or pedestrian walkways.

Prune shrubs that grow against or over structures

Trim and maintain hedges adjacent to roadways at a height • of 900 mm (36 inches) or less; hedges should not be placed within 9 M (30 feet) of a major intersection

Prune shrubs not identified as hedges to even form to match • its natural growth characteristics; water shoots, suckers, and branches not conforming to the desired shape and size should be removed

Some overgrown plants can be pruned to within 100 to • 150 mm (4 to 6 inches) of the ground as they will resprout, producing a thick growth of new shoots; knowledge of the plant material and its response to pruning is essential;

renovate selected overgrown plants over several months by removing a portion (one-third) of the old growth at each of three major prunings; removing all of the old growth over time will restore the natural appearance and retain the use of the plant in the landscape

Shear formal hedges so they are wider at the base than at • the top; frequency of shearing hedges depends on species, desired height and width, and design intent; shearing has a longer effect if performed after a flush of growth has ceased;

shear to one to three new leaves and buds; timing is based on the amount and cycle of growth; upper corners of the sheared hedges can be rounded or square-cut, depending on preference; visible stubs and branches shattered or split by shears should be removed with a clean cut with hand pruners

Appendix D | Landscape Maintenance

Selectively prune informal hedges and screens by hand to • control height but retain a natural, softer appearance

If a hedge or screen has outgrown its desired size or • becomes unkempt, ragged or leggy (open at the base), cut back to one-half of the existing height and width; the height and form will redevelop to that desired after shearing a few times; renovation pruning is best accomplished just before a flush of growth so that the hedge is bare for the shortest period of time

Apply a 25 mm – 75 mm (1 to 3-inch) layer of mulch to • conserve moisture, buffer soil temperature, reduce erosion, provide nutrients and discourage the establishment of weeds; avoid placing mulch against the stems to avoid potential disease and insect damage; apply from near its stem(s) to the dripline for individual shrubs

Fertilize based on the requirements of the specific shrub; • the total nitrogen required should be apportioned equally to the number of fertilizer applications, usually 4 times a year; avoid dense piles of fertilizer at the crown or base of shrubs; apply minor elements as required

Trees

Remove dead trees•

Relocate or remove trees that must be regularly pruned due to • poor placement in relation to structures and utilities

Periodically inspect stakes, ties, guy supports and turnbuckles • and adjust as needed to avoid girdling and promote natural development; remove as soon as they are no longer needed

Have a certified arborist complete or oversee tree pruning•

Prune trees according to the latest International Society of • Arboriculture (ISA) Pruning Guidelines

Selectively prune trees for safety and health reasons•

Trim trees to leave a clear height of 4.25 M (14 feet) over streets, •

2.5 M (8 feet) over sidewalks and footpaths, and as necessary to clear power lines and other types of obstructions

Allow trees to grow to their mature heights and sizes according • to their species; topping ruins the natural form of the tree and increases the hazard potential of the plant; at no time should any tree be ‘topped’, ‘stubbed’, or ‘hat racked’ (pruning of all major branches to a uniform height or removal of all lateral or side branches); special pruning techniques such as ‘heading back’ (drastic shortening of major branches to a uniform level) or ‘elevating’ (removal of significant portion of the lower branches to a uniform height) should be considered only when no other alternative is available

Prune canopy trees to encourage healthy growth and prevent • wind damage to the trees

Pruning Frequency: Most routine pruning (removal of weak, • diseased or dead limbs) can be done at any time; growth is maximized and wound closure is fastest if pruning takes place before the spring growth flush, some trees tend to “bleed” if pruned in early spring; this may appear unsightly, but has little effect on the tree; avoid pruning any tree that is under stress, or just after the spring growth flush

Relocate or remove trees that are in conflict with structures or utilities

Periodically inspect tree guys and supports; adjust and remove as needed

Remove storm damaged and diseased or hazardous • growth as soon as possible after discovery

Pruning wounds do not need to be covered with a pruning • seal or paint, these materials do not prevent entry of disease or insects and may reduce closure of the wound

Prune roots of trees as needed; only one side of the tree • should be pruned per year and root pruning should not start until three years after the tree has been planted

– Use a 50 mm (2-inch) layer for soils that are not well drained, and up to 100 mm (4-inches) if drainage is good

– Do not use excessive applications of finely textured mulch, which may cause oxygen deprivation; use a 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2-inch) layer only

– Do not pile mulch directly against the trunks and stems of trees which may cause inner bark (phloem) stress, fungal and bacterial diseases, and make trees more susceptible to borers; keep mulch 75 to 150 mm (3 to 6-inches) away from the trunks of young trees and 200 to 300 mm (8 to 12–inches) away from the trunks of mature trees

– Do not use mulch that is not properly composted

– Do not use mulch in perpetually wet soils which need as much oxygen as possible

– Mulch out to the tree’s dripline
