Approved 12.4.24 <br /> 1149 <br />Perdita Holtz: It has nothing to do with non-residential. It's everything in this section. So, to be clear, we're 1150 <br />looking at Page 34 of the agenda packet. Near the top, that would stay 1 foot, and then you're 1151 <br />also looking at Page 35, No. 8 to change that 24 inches to 12 inches. 1152 <br /> 1153 <br />Lamar Proctor: Correct. I think those are the only two areas where tree width is mentioned. 1154 <br /> 1155 <br />Adam Beeman: So, everybody's on board with 1 foot? 1156 <br /> 1157 <br />Charity Kirk: I vote yes. 1158 <br /> 1159 <br />Lamar Proctor: And, obviously, this still goes to the county commissioners, where they'll discuss it and you'll 1160 <br />highlight the changes that we recommended versus what staff initiated. 1161 <br /> 1162 <br />Perdita Holtz: And we, from what Cy said, it seems like we're just going to go with what the planning board is 1163 <br />recommending on this. We're not necessarily going to highlight what we presented and what you 1164 <br />all changed if we agree with it. That's not what the county commissioners want to hear at their 1165 <br />meetings. We're just going to say this is the amendment packet. The planning board has 1166 <br />recommended whatever you've recommended. 1167 <br /> 1168 <br />Lamar Proctor: And to be honest with you, when I read through it, that was the only thing that stuck out to me that 1169 <br />I felt like I needed to comment on and do further research on. 1170 <br /> 1171 <br />Perdita Holtz: Yeah. I'm not going to point out that the table was mislabeled in the planning board packet. You 1172 <br />know what I mean? 1173 <br /> 1174 <br />Lamar Proctor: Right. I understand. 1175 <br /> 1176 <br />Statler Gilfillen: I hope you can laugh at this next question, but the diameter at breast height, is that based on the 1177 <br />human breast height from the ground? 1178 <br /> 1179 <br />Perdita Holtz: So that is actually defined in the definitions, which I do not have in front of me, but as I recall, it 1180 <br />might be 5 feet from the ground level. 1181 <br /> 1182 <br />Statler Gilfillen: Okay, there is a definition of what that height is then. 1183 <br /> 1184 <br />Perdita Holtz: There is, yes. 1185 <br /> 1186 <br />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 1187 <br />I have a second for that? I just want to get everybody's opinion. 1188 <br /> 1189 <br />Beth Bronson: There's a consensus. 1190 <br /> 1191 <br />Adam Beeman: Yeah, I just want to get everybody on board saying that we're all agreeing on that 1 foot, so we'll 1192 <br />make that change; we're all in agreement. 1193 <br /> 1194 <br />Statler Gilfillen: I'll second it. 1195 <br /> 1196 <br />Adam Beeman: Okay. All in favor of it? Okay. 1197 <br /> 1198 <br />Beth Bronson: Yes. 1199 <br /> 1200 <br />Adam Beeman: Okay. We're all in favor. Great. 1201 <br /> 1202
