Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Minutes <br />March 12,2019 <br />have very little potential impact. The bigger it is in your eye, the more it has the potential for <br />impact. <br />So, landscaping is put in to try to mitigate any of that glare you would see by breaking it up so it <br />does not show relatively large in your eye. <br />The Chair said if you took down a stand of trees that were 40 feet high and replaced them with a <br />stand of trees that were six feet high, would you be more inclined to have glare on the six-foot <br />side as compared to the 40-footers? <br />Mr. Healy said it all depends on the geometry of the observation. <br />The Chair said we talking about the geometry on Joyner Road and Mount Pleasant Road. If you <br />take those trees out that are down low and they are 40-foot. Those could have been 30, they <br />probably would have been in the forestry program. They might be 20 years, 28 years, they were <br />30 footers easy. Do you think that would affect it, if you had six-foot trees instead of 30-foot <br />trees? <br />Mr. Healy said affect it in which way? Let me ask this. So, affect in terms of if these six-foot <br />trees were preventing the glare from reaching your eye, it would be the same as if they were 30- <br />foot trees. It does not really make a difference. You are just trying to put something in the way to <br />break it up. Anything breaking it up would reduce the potential for after image. That is all. <br />Again, there was nothing that we found that necessitates it to -- <br />The Chair said did you do it before the trees were cut down or after the trees were cut down? <br />Mr. Healy said we used the data off of Google Earth at the time, so I cannot be certain. So this is <br />when we gathered the data from Google maps or Google Earth imagery. <br />The Chair said did you walk the site? <br />Mr. Healy said I have driven around the perimeter and I have been on site . I was on site today. <br />The Chair said did you walk it, get out there and see what the elevation changes were, anything <br />like that, get out there with something that measures anything. <br />Mr. Healy said no. <br />The Chair said did you just do all computer generated stuff after something was graded? <br />Mr. Healy said it was all computer generated to the contours of the site and put the assumptions <br />on the panels and the elevations and the angles. That is all data you put into the SGI tool. But he <br />24
