Commissioner Bird inquired about the financial effect <br />of the proposed changes on proposed development projects. <br />Planner Challacombe believed they actually should <br />create additional money in the developer's pocket because <br />less trees are required. <br />Planning Keating noted that one of the major complaints <br />with the current ordinance is that our interior tree <br />requirement is unrealistic. He believed most of the people <br />in the development community feel the proposed ordinance is <br />much more workable, and he agreed that it would be a <br />lessening of cost to the developer. <br />Commissioner Wodtke wished to know if transplant of a <br />living tree would fulfill the requirements for #1 grade <br />plants, and Planner Challacombe clarified that #1 material <br />is that which is balled and commercial stock. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked if the ordinance requires <br />that everything is bought from a nursery, and Mr. <br />Challacombe stated that it does not; it does require <br />juvenile plants come from nursery stock, but cabbage palms, <br />etc., it is better to get from natural habitat. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed that in most cases you will <br />see landscape designers specifying that plants be #1 grade. <br />Commissioner Bird asked why you can't put a cabbage <br />palm from the west of town on the barrier island, and Mr. <br />Challacombe explained that it would not be salt resistant. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be <br />heard. There were none. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt the fact that no one was present <br />to present objections demonstrated the fact that the <br />workshops do help to resolve these problems. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />closed the public hearing. <br />32 <br />AUG 1 . 1984 <br />BOOK 5;7 P�VuFR 17 <br />
