r V <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: August 30, 1993 <br /> TO: County Commissioners <br /> From: Eugene Urban Forester <br /> SUBJECT: COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE COUNTY TREE CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION <br /> CODE, THE NEW EUGENE TREE PRESERVATION CODE AND THE PREVIOUS <br /> EUGENE TREE PRESERVATION CODE. <br /> Attached is a summary chart highlighting the major difference in between the <br /> County and the new and previous City tree protection codes. The chart compare <br /> the codes section by section, however the greatest difference between the <br /> County's and new and old City tree codes is based on differing intends of each <br /> code. <br /> The County's code was written to accommodate the zoning which includes <br /> agricultural /forestry operations. City's old code weakly mirrored the intent <br /> of the County's code by allowing large scale commercial operations within the <br /> city, but without some of the detailed restrictions imposed by County <br /> regulations. <br /> The new City code recognizes that lands within the city are not zoned for <br /> forestry, but for urban development. Any large scale tree removal must be <br /> part of an approved development plan with emphasis on preserving the forested <br /> appearance of the site. <br /> For more information contact the Urban Forester at 687 -5359. <br /> neighb \county.1et <br />
