<br />Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Mr. Bradley, to postpone and bring back <br />with the amendment that the cab be marked so that there is a clear <br />definition from the outside whether the cab has a meter or zone rate, ~ <br />and that the schedules be in large and legible print type. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Ms. Smith noted that some consideration had been given to special <br />rates for seniors; she wanted that idea to be considered by the cab <br />companies. <br /> <br />III. PROPOSED TREE ORDINANCE <br /> <br />Kay Holbo, chairpersun of the Tree Ordinance Committee, said the committee <br />was formed as a result of controversy over South Hills tree cutting. She <br />said discussion on the committee ranged from one extreme to the other-- <br />from accceptin9 as amended last September to allow five trees to be cut on <br />a lot per year, to allowing no trees to be cut on undeveloped land without <br />a tree-cutting or building permit. The recommendation of the committee is <br />a compromise. However, the recommendation was unanimously supported by <br />the committee members present at the meeting. Mr. Delay asked committee <br />member Brian Obie if he felt that passage of the ordinance would stop the <br />kind of activity that causes the citizen in the South Hills area to complain. <br />Mr. Obie felt it would stop it in those areas: already subdivided and ready <br />for devel opment.~ He urged Counci l to pass it because of some danger pf <br />tree-cuttino.- Mr. Williams said he was troubled in that Council knew <br />nothing of the proposed ordinance prior to IItoday'sll meeting. Mr. Obie <br />responded he would like to pass the proposed ordinance IIt6dayll, but, if <br />more discussion is required, a public hearing could be set at a future ~ <br />time. Mr. Delay was assured by Mr. Obie that this was basically a <br />strengthening of the existing ordinance to deal with logging types of <br />operations, but that it does not address the overall question of appear- <br />ance of ridge lines or hills. <br /> <br />Ray Wiley, committee member, said the proposed ordinance changes the <br />definition of a tree. Some committee members felt that there were many <br />small trees that should be covered by the ordinance if the purpose was to <br />prevent logging operations. He said the other large loophole in the <br />present ordinance was that a subdivider could cut five trees per lot per <br />year on his land but, after subdividing, he would no longer have one lot, <br />so he could multiply the number of lots times five. Under the proposed <br />ordinance, no trees can be cut on lots or parcels less than 20,000 square <br />feet without a building permit. This provision would put tree-cutting <br />into builders' or property owners' hands, 'and they would probably be more <br />senstive than the developer. Tom Slocum, committee member, reiterated <br />that this proposed ordinance will stop the immediate problem, but will not <br />address any large lot subdivision. City Attorney noted that, based on the <br />need to get this proposed ordinance to Council quickly, staff could not <br />make as many technical changes as it would have liked. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />2/22/78 - 4 <br /> <br />IIq <br />
