In order to resolve both problems, Glenn and I came up with the following version of the exception (which <br /> Johnny has not seen until now): the restrictions on tree felling would not apply when ..: "the tree felling has been <br /> specifically authorized by a final planned unit development approval, a tentative subdivision approval, a <br /> conditional use permit, or a building permit." <br /> Questions: Johnny, does that general approach do what you want? (I.e. prevent or allow tree felling in roughly <br /> the right balance) Jerry, does the list cover the various situations in which the planning /permitting process would <br /> present an opportunity to review plans for tree felling? In other words, does the list work as a definition of <br /> "approved development plan "? Or (to both of you) does this take us too close to the permit system we're trying to <br /> get away from because it requires too much in the way of staff resources? <br /> Johnny, we've drafted all the other changes to the ordinance. I want to nail this part down pretty precisely, <br /> though, because I think it will make a big difference in practice. <br /> Please let me know what you think. If we need to meet or set up a conference call, my schedule is pretty <br /> open this week. Thanks much. <br /> Page 3 <br />
