without a permit, changing references to specific departments, and changing <br /> the appeal process from a Tree Appeal Board to a Hearings Official. <br /> For your reference, we attached a summary sheet that lists the differences <br /> between the two drafts. There are some differences that have workload or cost <br /> implications. <br /> ruehx 47 ;11 6 0�tol <br /> The drafts have differences in initiating the public notice and comment peri- <br /> od. Draft A invokes the requirement if 10 or more trees are to be cut; the <br /> number is 25 trees in Draft B. In setting this requirement, council may want <br /> to weigh the impact on staff's workload. Staff will be prepared to provide <br /> workload data based on permits requested in the past. <br /> Draft A allows individual citizens who have provided comments on an applica- <br /> tion to file an appeal if they are dissatisfied with the action taken on the <br /> permit. There are cost implications associated with this broader right to <br /> appeal. <br /> Since Draft A makes several changes to the criteria for reviewing permits, the <br /> council may wish to refer the matter to the CIC and provide an opportunity for <br /> a public hearing. <br /> If the council chooses to process either ordinance through the CIC, the City <br /> Attorney's advice is that staff must consider applications for tree cutting <br /> permits according to the existing ordinance until the ordinance is revised. <br /> V.
