28 <br /> approve the interim standards for averaging. " <br /> Seconded by Burklin. <br /> Mark O'Neal, developer, noted that the intent <br /> of Section B 2 of the Resolution of Approval <br /> was to apply to Phase 2 which is a portion of <br /> the Private Road. He noted there will be <br /> horses on the property and that he felt the <br /> landowners would prefer to cut down some of <br /> the scrub pine and plant permanent pastures . <br /> He continued asking that a 6% impervious <br /> ratio be considered rather than a 4% . <br /> Scearbo stated that a more appropriate means <br /> to address the concern expressed by Best <br /> would be to state that the recommendation is <br /> approved of the Resolution provided that the <br /> interim standards are adopted, rather than <br /> include that condition in the Resolution. <br /> The Resolution is the actual document that <br /> the Board of Commissioners adopts . Best <br /> accepted this recommendation. <br /> Jacobs asked if B-2 (the provision for <br /> protection of existing trees referenced by <br /> Mr. O'Neal) wasn't a standard statement and <br /> the property owners, once they purchased the <br /> property, could do what they wanted to with <br /> the trees . Scearbo responded that in the <br /> Declarations Document recorded with the plat, <br /> it specifies that there are landscape <br /> standards. That doesn't mean that the <br /> property owner cannot cut down some trees . <br /> It means that he is required to meet the <br /> minimum landscape standards . <br /> Yuhasz commented that the specific ordinance <br /> reference should be included that sets out <br /> • <br /> the minimum standards. <br /> The motion was restated to approve the <br /> Resolution given the adoption by the Board of <br /> Commissioners of the change in standards that <br /> the Planning Board previously recommended and <br /> change B 2 of the Resolution to read: <br /> Provisions for protection of existing trees <br /> as shown on the approved landscape plan <br /> consistent with the minimum requirements of <br /> Section IV-B-8 of the Orange County <br /> Subdivision Regulations shall be included in <br /> a document describing development <br /> restrictions and requirements to be prepared <br /> by Planning Staff and recorded concurrently <br />
