�� EOOK. 77 Fq�r 570 Commissioner Scurlock felt that is what is being addressed today, but Mrs. Bunnell cautioned that the developer is doing that planting now. Chairman Wheeler repeated that the holes appear to be holes that were made when trees were removed, and felt the photographs show that. Mr. McQueen explained that the spade takes out a 7 -ft. hole, and that there was no intention to take any trees out and push dirt in. They had no reason to take trees out of that alignment other than to clear for the roadway. Throughout 900 of that realignment, the clear from tree to tree is no more than 20 feet. The roadway is generally about 18 feet wide, and it has the turn in it. He felt they did a pretty good job, and offered to drive each of the Commissioners through the project. He knew that Mrs. Bunnell feels that he was ignoring the problem, but he was not. He has agreed with staff to go and replant where they have taken too much out, and do it to the County's satisfaction. If they cannot satisfy the County with replanting, then he would pay for a consultant to come in and tell them what wasn't done right. Mr. Boling felt the way they left it was that there were definite areas of concern, specifically that certain areas would take different treatment than others regarding the replacement of the understory and in the areas off the side of the road where vehicles had backed in to do the clearing. Commissioner Scurlock felt the important thing here today is for the Commission to take action to direct Mr. McQueen to make this thing right and bring that plan back to staff, and if that is not acceptable, then we will take further steps. Commissioner Eggert wanted the developer to come back with a plan to restore scrub oak, bay trees and some of the understory, but Mr. McQueen felt it would be very difficult to replant scrub oak. 48
