FEB 2 1 196 BOOK /6 PA E 02 road R/W, and, therefore, she would like to see the different options. Darrell McQueen of McQueen Associates, representing the Town of Orchid and the Polo Club, informed the Board that he was just here to meet with Director Keating to see what we can do to protect the Trail and buffer it through the Town of Orchid. He had not intended to speak, but he felt it is not completely fair to Sea Oaks to rely on what he has done. They have a development that is already under way and has been site planned for quite some time while he is working with raw land and has a lot of flexibility. He felt that should be kept in mind when the Board looks at his plans, and they should keep Sea Oaks separate. Commissioner Eggert commented that with this Resolution sitting here as it is written, she would have to vote against it and she is not sure she is ready to do that. Commissioner Bird pointed out that we could vote against the Resolution and approve their landscape plan and let them go on about their business, and then go ahead and form our rules and everyone else will play by the rules we are subsequently going to adopt. Attorney Barkett stressed that all that would involve would be to approve the site plan without that condition. He referred to the drawing displayed earlier, which was prepared at the last minute, and stressed that it is not exactly accurate because of the perspective, which is from out in the river and not as if you are standing on the road. The building is shown with its entire frontage along the road, but actually you would only see a corner of the building because the buildings are to be set at an angle to the road. He agreed there are some areas of low level plantings, but pointed out that they are all atop a 5' berm and they are at least 2' plantings. Commissioner Scurlock stated that when we develop the guidelines, he would like to see more renderings so we can tell better what the options are. 42
