• 18 . nary 2001 Page 2. Mr. Sherman stated they will need to do additional plantings. M Leblanc stated her plans go by the original work limit. Mr. Sherman stated he would like more than three plants, he would file five. He further stated h e did not see why the tree that is not a threat should come down. Ms Leblanc stated it is merely esthetics and they would be grilling to do any amount of mitigative planting to replace it; that would be preferable. Mr. Sherman stated, if they do meaningful compensation, at least six shrubs, and the Commission agrees, he would go along with the removal of the tree. The Chair questioned the two paths. Mr. Sherman stated 2 - ' wide patois area permitted per 100'. There was disagreement with this. Mr-. Sherman will check. Ms Leblanc stated there is a wide open path. They can abandon the proposed path and maintain the present one. The Chair asked if the 25% included the width of any other paths? M oretos stated no. The Chair stated when there is a Griew corridor, normally there is pruning to see the pond. He asked, if there is a 4' wide pati, should the total amount of vier corridor be reduced so that the total is 25%. Mr. Sherman stated this should be examined but is not in the poker noir. Mr. Sherman suggested continuing for tiro weeps and he will go out t look around the site with FIs Leblanc to look for bare spots to compensate for that tree. He questioned habitat value of the proposed dwarf winterberry. Mr. Talbot advised it has good habitat value and fruits all printer long.
