Chairman Burke noted that the landscape screening for the detention pond did not provide enough detail. He would like to see what kind of screening would be put in place, either earthen berms or small shrubs. Following the vote to approve the site plan, Chailman Burke commented that some miscommunication had occun-ed between the Commission, staff and the applicant. At the time the Conceptual plan was discussed, the Commission asked the developer to try to save as many trees as possible on the site. The conceptual plan did not include a tree survey but maybe it should have. Since the developers obtained a development permit before the site plan was approved, all the trees had already been removed from the site. Chairman Burke believed that several of the trees could have been retained if the driveways had been re-ananged.
