The motion carried with a unanimous vote. 3. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 3a Overview of Chapter 5, Tree Preservation of the Land Development Code Manager James Hubbard provided a review of the amendment to Chapter 5 Tree Preservation of the Land Development Code, as approved by City Council on October 6, 2014. Hubbard explained that the purpose of an additional fine was to discourage developers from circumventing fees associated with clear cutting protected trees and paying owner directly prior to sale. This fine is applicable to property owners of more than one acre. Regarding enforcement of the new ordinance, Hubbard described the new role for Parks Supervisor Chris Haworth, as a site inspector, due to his certification as an arborist. Hubbard stated that the intent of the ordinance was not to simply raise fees but to protect trees, therefore developers are required to replace trees with new trees depending on size, species, location of removed trees. Monetary fines are in place, as well. Natalie Genco requested a report with information regarding fines levied City of Colleyville Page 1 Colleyville Tree Board Minutes January 5, 2015 and City’s use of these funds indicating that a citizen contacted her with same request. Brenda Ritz questioned who is fined for offenses such as parking under a tree on construction site: the offender, the contractor, or the developer. Ritz suggested that the direct offender be fined, instead of contractor or developer, in order to curb behavior. 3b Overview of tree inventory project Manager Hubbard stated that the Parks Department is conducting a tree inventory on Parks properties using GIS technology, collecting information on the trees based on its attributes. Hubbard presented mapping of the first inventory project completed, Bogart Linear Park. Data collected on Bogart Linear Park provided information on quantity and species and on-site inspection, by Parks Supervisor Chris Haworth, provided information on condition of the trees. Hubbard explained that information collected during inventory will be important in making decisions regarding maintaining or increasing current tree canopy. Hubbard sited most recent citizen survey indicating increased shade at parks a concern of citizens noted in most recent Citizen Survey. Hubbard stated that McPherson Park is slated to be inventoried next. 4.
