Commissioner Adams noted the ability to micro -site is one of the values of planned developments. With respect to her question about 12 -inch or less caliper trees, Director Boling suggested the developer address that concern. Chairman Ginn was concerned about the active agriculture on the west boundary and the 25 - foot setback, squeezing out agriculture, and the "no net loss" Discussion on a failed proposal for easing the transition was held and Director Boling noted that the area is residential under the Comprehensive Plan, is within the urban service area, and the agriculture in this area will be allowed to continue albeit in an interim situation. Mark Brackett, 1915 34`h Avenue, spoke as a representative of the development company. It is anticipated that the trees (6"-28") in the "building pad" will not be moved because of the expense and high failure rate, but the developer proposes to bring in not -less -than 109 new oak trees to tree line all of the streets. The plan designates that the front corner of each lot will be planted with an oak tree to subsidize the trees which are to be saved by designated building pads. He noted that the size of the stormwater retention areas has been increased in order to be able to lower the site. November 13, 2001 M
