• • AGENDA ITEM V. E STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: July 12, 2000 TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING (continued): Ordinance 09 -00 Tree Preservation Ordinance BACKGROUND At the June 14 meeting, the P & Z opened and continued the public hearing on the new tree preservation ordinance. The hearing was continued for two reasons. One, there was some concern about requirements for residents building on individual single family lots. Two, we hoped to receive additional input from the developers we asked for comment. It may be helpful to bring your copy of the draft ordinance from the last meeting if you have notes on it. Another copy is attached. We have not altered it yet. 1) Rather than rewrite the draft ordinance, we decided to ask our Environmental Specialist to attend the P & Z meeting tonight. Marty Aslesen will be present to explain how he currently addresses tree preservation on single family lots. The requirements in the draft ordinance reflect current practice. Specifically, section III.A.1. on page 4, and IV.A. on page 5, and IV.B.3. apply to single family home building lots. 2) We have received one additional letter with comments from a developer, Heritage Development. Recall that we discussed a letter from Carlson & Associates at the June meeting. To review, the Environmental Board discussed the new tree preservation requirements twice. The P & Z can close the hearing or continue it if additional information is needed. The ordinance will require a first and second reading by the City Council. OPTIONS 1. Approve Ordinance 09 -00 and forward to City Council. 2. Return to staff with direction. RECOMMENDATION 1411 Option 1
