4The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, April 20, 1988 DeveSopsrs woirry aboot tree oirdioainice By AMY GRUBBS Staff Writer Trees deserve protection, but not at the cost of affordable housing, Pete Thorn of the Homebuilders Associa tion of Chapel Hill and Durham said Tuesday. Thorn said he is concerned the stronger new Chapel Hill tree ordi nance will increase developers costs and, in turn, those costs will be passed on to the homebuyer. The city should simply set a minimum standard for tree protec tion during development and inspect the different builders each month. Thorn said. "I think the private market could be more effectively used," he said. Those doing the best job would get the highest rating, and the competi tion would make each builder strive to do a better job, he said. This approach would yield "more results with much less expense," Thorn said. "We don't want to be negative toward trees. We like trees," he said. "We are considering the practical point of view." One of the more controversial aspects of the ordinance is the part that calls for a landscape manage ment supervisor to be at development sites at all times. Dave Rosier, of the Chapel Hill planning department, said the lands cape management supervisor would protect the trees at a construction site. This supervisor does not have to be a professional, but he would have the authority to tell other construc tion workers not to do something that might harm trees. Rosier said. The landscape management super visor would ensure that no trees were inadvertently bulldozed, Rosier said. The supervisor would also see that the roots of vegetation were protected by removing heavy building materials which are placed under the trees, he said. The supervisor would also main tain protection fences surrounding the trunks of trees to help them survive development, Rosier said. Tom Perry, a consultant from the N.C. State School of Forestry who helped write the ordinance, said at a public hearing Monday that con tinuous on-site inspection is essential for the success of the ordinance. But the landscape management supervisor title is overstated, and the position is an easy one to fill, Perry said.

"I can take an intelligent sixth grader and prepare him for this job in half a day," he said. Bob Anderson, a city planning consultant in Chapel Hill, said the effectiveness of the ordinance is questionable. "They're getting carried away with an objective that's good," Anderson said. Almost 60 percent of Chapel Hill's land is not covered in the ordinance because one and two family homes and University property are not included, he said. "What makes a tree less valuable on single family property?" Anderson said. "Developers are always the bad guy," he said, "but they know trees are important. They aren't anti-tree." Rosier said the impact of the new ordinance could be great because a large tract of undeveloped land north of Chapel Hill will be developed using Chapel Hill's building codes. The land is officially county owned, but through an intergovern mental project between Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Orange County, it was decided that the Chapel Hill developing regulations will be used there.

Parker, a 1986 UNC graduate, was elected by the Student Edu cational Broadcasting Board (SEBB), a non-profit N.C. organ ization made up of students and community members whose pur pose is to hold the license for WXYC. - Parker, who has been with WXYC for four years, became a WXYC disc jockey in her sopho more year. She was chief announcer in her senior year and served as an interim summer station manager in 1986. Parker said she plans to con tinue most of the existing station policies and wishes to improve student awareness of WXYC. "I want to keep things running smoothly by maintaining the level of excellence the station already has," Parker said. "There are always little things you want to improve on, like jock participation and just working on the record library," she said. "I also want to make the campus more aware of WXYC," Parker said. "A lot of people know it exists, but they do not know where it is or anything about it." Staff members expressed posi tive feelings about Parker's appointment. "I think she will do a really good job," present WXYC station man ager Jason Bott said. "She knows the station really well, so I think she will be really successful as station manager." Steve Balcom, WXYC's music director, said, "I think it's a great appointment. I'm 100 percent behind her." Balcom also mentioned Parker's rapport with the staff. "She has a great relationship with the jocks," he said. "Her person ality will motivate people to do their best." Disc jockey Becky Sillmon said Parker is a knowledgeable, expe rienced worker. "She will do a good job," Sillmon said. "She has been an interim station manager a couple of summers ago, when the station manager was out of town. There fore, she has had a little bit of experience knowing what her duties are. She is really knowledge able about music." Parker's election required her to submit an application to the SEBB, said Bill Burton, chairman of the SEBB Board of Directors. Along with the application, the board's nomination committee and the Board of Directors inter viewed Parker, Burton said. Parker competed against one other candidate in her bid for the position. As station manager, Parker will receive a monthly salary of about $66, Bott said. "It's not a huge amount, con sidering the hours you put into it," Bott said. "It's been pretty much the same since the late 70s." Back to the beach: Avalon to host music awards show From staff reports Beach bums, take notice!
