40 <br /> DRAFT EXCERPT <br /> 492 Adam Beeman: Is everybody else on board with keeping it at 1 foot, I guess before we go ahead and put a motion <br /> 493 on it, let's see if everybody is in agreement. Is there any objection to that? <br /> 494 <br /> 495 Marilyn Carter: No objection. <br /> 496 <br /> 497 Beth Bronson: No objection, as long as we're referring to these non-residential areas. <br /> 498 <br /> 499 Perdita Holtz: It has nothing to do with non-residential. It's everything in this section. So, to be clear,we're <br /> 500 looking at Page 34 of the agenda packet. Near the top,that would stay 1 foot, and then you're <br /> 501 also looking at Page 35, No. 8 to change that 24 inches to 12 inches. <br /> 502 <br /> 503 Lamar Proctor: Correct. I think those are the only two areas where tree width is mentioned. <br /> 504 <br /> 505 Adam Beeman: So, everybody's on board with 1 foot? <br /> 506 <br /> 507 Charity Kirk: I vote yes. <br /> 508 <br /> 509 Lamar Proctor: And, obviously, this still goes to the county commissioners,where they'll discuss it and you'll <br /> 510 highlight the changes that we recommended versus what staff initiated. <br /> 511 <br /> 512 Perdita Holtz: And we,from what Cy said, it seems like we're just going to go with what the planning board is <br /> 513 recommending on this. We're not necessarily going to highlight what we presented and what you <br /> 514 all changed if we agree with it. That's not what the county commissioners want to hear at their <br /> 515 meetings. We're just going to say this is the amendment packet. The planning board has <br /> 516 recommended whatever you've recommended. <br /> 517 <br /> 518 Lamar Proctor: And to be honest with you, when I read through it,that was the only thing that stuck out to me that <br /> 519 I felt like I needed to comment on and do further research on. <br /> 520 <br /> 521 Perdita Holtz: Yeah. I'm not going to point out that the table was mislabeled in the planning board packet. You <br /> 522 know what I mean? <br /> 523 <br /> 524 Lamar Proctor: Right. I understand. <br /> 525 <br /> 526 Statler GiIfillen: I hope you can laugh at this next question, but the diameter at breast height, is that based on the <br /> 527 human breast height from the ground? <br /> 528 <br /> 529 Perdita Holtz: So that is actually defined in the definitions,which I do not have in front of me, but as I recall, it <br /> 530 might be 5 feet from the ground level. <br /> 531 <br /> 532 Statler GiIfillen: Okay, there is a definition of what that height is then. <br /> 533 <br /> 534 Perdita Holtz: There is, yes. <br /> 535 <br /> 536 Adam Beeman: So,we're just going to go to a little side vote. Charity had a motion to approve Lamar's 1 foot. Do <br /> 537 1 have a second for that? I just want to get everybody's opinion. <br /> 538 <br /> 539 Beth Bronson: There's a consensus. <br /> 540 <br /> 541 Adam Beeman: Yeah, I just want to get everybody on board saying that we're all agreeing on that 1 foot, so we'll <br /> 542 make that change;we're all in agreement. <br /> 543 <br /> 544 Statler GiIfillen: I'll second it. <br /> 545 <br /> 546 Adam Beeman: Okay. All in favor of it? Okay. <br />
