17 <br /> 1 Commissioner Fowler asked if going forward there would be a Type A, B, and renamed <br /> 2 Type D to C or if the plan was to skip Type C. <br /> 3 Cy Stober said Type D could be renamed to C but that would require other text <br /> 4 amendments elsewhere in the document. <br /> 5 Commissioner Fowler said the change is not necessary. <br /> 6 Commissioner Hamilton said there are some differences between the current Type C and <br /> 7 Type D. She asked what the impacts of this proposed change will be. <br /> 8 Cy Stober said it is not that significant and D will provide better buffering between land <br /> 9 uses than what C currently does. He said C was never applied when D would not be more <br /> 10 protective. <br /> 11 Commissioner Hamilton said one of the differences is related to evergreen trees. She <br /> 12 asked if the higher number of trees should be brought over from C to D. <br /> 13 Cy Stober said he understands that the purpose is that evergreen trees grow faster. He <br /> 14 said through review and discussions with DEAPR, imposing the standards in D would require <br /> 15 more landscaping that the situations where C is being applied today. He said they could require <br /> 16 an evergreen in D. He said the general takeaway is that C is a smaller buffer than D and staff <br /> 17 believes will be a greater buffer with D than currently with C. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Slide #11 <br /> Proposed Amendments <br /> • 6.8.9-8 Screening <br /> —Clarify purpose and application of screening standards <br /> is to obscure foundations and equipment of multifamily <br /> or non-residential structures from public view <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> 20 <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Slide #12 <br /> Proposed Amendments <br /> • 6.8.10 9 Landscape and Tree Preservation Plan <br /> —Clarify when this plan is needed and its format <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROUNA <br /> 23 <br />
