PLANTINGS WITHIN RIGHTS-OF-WAY (memo, ordinance distributed) Mr. Whitlow introduced Parks Director Ernie Drapela. Mr. Drapela said that the proposed ordinances were primarily of a "housekeeping" nature and would 1) correct a discrepancy between Section 6 and Section 7 of the City Code regarding the required setback for vision purposes, and 2) relax the provisions of Section 7.630 of the code, which currently require a permit for any planting in the strip between the curb and the sidewalk. Mr. Drapela noted that this would make the code comply with the existing practice of permitting flowers and vegetables to be grown in the parking strip without a permit. He said that the Joint Parks Committee had approved both changes and recommended them to the council .
