Section I Y.1y b±JQ.0_1Yzil=B <br /> u b. sLal <br /> Collins reviewed the recommended changes from the public <br /> hearing, one being to measure trees in a primary tree <br /> protection area as measured 4-1/21 above ground level . <br /> This is the standard as used by forestry personnel . in <br /> the section on Exceptions, the Planning Director, not <br /> his/her designee, may approve the removal of trees . in <br /> the section on Prctective Measures, the last sentence <br /> should read "Except for sidewalks and curb and gutter, <br /> no paving with concrete, asphalt or other impervious <br /> material within the drip line of trees to be retained <br /> shall be allowed." In the section on Required <br /> Landscaping, Collins noted that the reference to one <br /> tree for every 225 square feet is to be changed to one <br /> tree for every 1000 square feet of land area and the <br /> reference to one tree for every 30 feet of frontage to <br /> one tree for every 35 feet. <br /> In the section on Installation and Maintenance, Collins <br /> recommended that this be placed at the end of the <br /> section and be labeled as Recommended Standards of <br /> Installation and Maintenance. A further recommendation <br /> is that rather than the emBer_or_developer being <br /> responsible for maintenance of landscaping materials, <br /> only the owner would be responsible for the continued <br /> proper maintenance of landscaping materials. <br />
