Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Minutes <br />November 9, 2021 <br />Mr. Hudspeth thinks the glare study is really important. If it strangles out the trees or the <br />plantings that are there you would have disruption of them being able to block the glare and <br />someone could be injured. He is not sure how it was all designed, but he did see the study. He <br />thinks they should be required to live up to the glare study. <br /> <br />The Chair said Comment #7 may address that with the strapping, if they are going to go in there <br />and cut that strapping out. They are already there cutting strapping so, a weed eater with a bush <br />blade will take care of most of it. <br /> <br />The Chair asked Mr. Jansen if he would like to speak to that. <br /> <br />Mr. Al Jansen said comments regarding the health of the plantings that are there. He took a tour <br />around the site today and was quite encouraged with the health of the plantings that were there. <br />Honestly, he saw a fair percentage of the original mulch still visible. You are talking about some <br />grasses, a little bit of ragweed and the grasses themselves will be there and will naturalize <br />themselves into that area. <br /> <br />He said your statement regarding going in and taking the strapping off, if they go in with some <br />weed whackers and control it that way this one time, yes, he thinks we can do it: yes. <br /> <br />Mr. Stephen Wise asked if it was just on Joyner Road. <br /> <br />The Chair said the strapping is everywhere. But the buffers would be Joyner Road and Mount <br />Pleasant Road. He said Highway 601 is okay, he rode by there today. He does not think Joyner <br />Road is near as bad as Mount Pleasant Road. <br /> <br />Mr. Jansen said portions of Mount Pleasant are pretty good too. <br /> <br />Ms. Nurse asked if it would be the same type of timeline as it was before? <br /> <br />The Chair would think so. Obviously, we are adding to what Al committed to earlier, as far as a <br />week. They are saying we cannot really check it. Do we need several weeks of frost or a good <br />hard frost? <br /> <br />Mr. Charles Bass said you are probably going to need more than one. <br /> <br />The Chair said the end of December? <br /> <br />Mr. Bass thinks that would be adequate because you can get out and look around and with <br />everything dormant you can find the green seedlings if it is evergreens. <br /> <br />The Chair said correct him if he is wrong, but the stuff along Mount Pleasant Road is big mature <br />stuff. It is not seedlings, so it should be fairly easy for you guys to do that part, but as far as the <br />strapping on the rest of the site that might be the challenge. <br />12 <br /> <br /> <br />
