SEP t 7 M97 ma 87 FAu 64 Interstate 95 Buffer Requirement - Section 9 (� Interstate 95 buffer requirement. 'All developments that are adiacent to the I-95 right-of-way and that require major site plan approval shall preserve or provide a buffer along the I-95 frontage of the development site (parcel) that satisfies the canopy tree standards of a * Type "C" buffer and provides a 6' (or higher) opaque feature.- Commissioner eature. Commissioner Bird addressed Section 9.d., regarding Interstate 95 buffer requirements. He was not in favor of an opaque wall from county line to county line because many people develop along the interstate because they want the visibility. When commercial and industrial parks are constructed, the lots closest to the interstate are the first ones to go. He also felt that if this requirement is intended for residential development, it should be their choice to buffer themselves from I-95. He felt this item should be given further study. Director Keating explained that this was not really intended for residential development but rather industrial and commercial and mostly for the storage aspect. Miscellaneous Nancy Offutt requested that a date be placed on the charts and graphs published by the County so that the public has an indication of what is most current. Director Keating thought- that was a good suggestion and agreed to do so. It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Vice Chairman closed the public hearing. Vice Chairman Bowman announced that the second hearing on the proposed Ordinance will be held at 5:01 p.m. on September 29, 1992. There being no further business, on Motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 6:30 o'clock P. M. ATTEST: J. Barton, Clerk Margaret C.I)Bowman, Vice Chairman 26
