4. Public Hearing - Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 0-93-900
establishing criteria and regulations for the preservation of trees
and vegetative cover, providing minimum standards, criteria and
providing for the replacement and replanting of trees that are
removed during construction, development or redevelopment.
Chairman Michaels opened the public hearing. Those present wishing to
speak were: David Fink representing the Environmental Board, requested
that the ordinance be revised to allow for variance procedures.
David Bagwell, 5500 Preston Road, Dallas, speaking on the following
issues: Why is it necessary to have a Tree Ordinance; Are there
specific problems which prompted development of Tree Ordinance?; Too
much governmental control and regulation is harmful to job creation and
the business community; Governmental control produces a level of
inefficiency; If there is no problem, is more government necessary and
how much is necessary?; What is the constituency--the purchaser of a new
home or existing homeowners within the community? If homeowners, why
are they exempted? Who is going to implement the ordinance and what
kind of experience will they have?; Tree Ordinance may be an incentive
to cut down trees; Expense of regulating the ordinance; Did the City go
before the Builders Association and consider voluntary compliance?
Sonny Rhodes, T.U.Electric, in favor.
Terry Sandlin discussed design standards within the ordinance. Would
staff dictate the design of houses to preserve trees? Commented that
several species of trees cannot have any construction near them and
survive. Developers are currently doing everything they can to preserve
trees. Do we need one more layer of bureaucracy?
Raman Chandler commented that trees sell lots and no one need the
ordinance because everyone wants trees. Builders already have to comply
with the grading ordinance and design standards which take precedence
over trees. Undesirable trees need to be removed and replanted.
Builders should require in deed restrictions that each lot is required
to plant a certain number of trees. Aerial photos would be beneficial
in doing site plan review.
There being no one else present wishing to speak, the public hearing was
closed. Commissioner Edwards moved to TABLE the drafted Ordinance and
schedule the item for further discussion at a work session.
Commissioner Gomez seconded the motion. The vote being:
