Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971, authorizes the City Manager to adopt <br /> rules for implementation of any provisions of that Code. Section 7.280 of that Code specifically <br /> authorizes the City Manager to adopt rules that establish standards and specifications for <br /> implementing the City's Street Tree Program. <br /> B. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, on February 28, 1997, <br /> Administrative Order No. 58- 96 -23 -F was issued adopting Street Tree Program Administrative <br /> Rule R- 7.280, ensuring that the City's Street Tree Program was implemented in compliance with <br /> provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971. <br /> C. Staff has recommended revisions to Rule R -7.280 that: (a) effect clerical and <br /> readability corrections to some of its provisions; (b) clarify language concerning the tree cost <br /> calculations; and (c) effect revisions that ensure compliance with newly adopted or amended <br /> provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971. <br /> D. I concur with staff's recommendations and find that the proposed revisions to the <br /> Street Tree Program Administrative Rule R -7.280 are necessary in order to ensure that the <br /> Program is implemented in a manner consistent with provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971 and <br /> directives of the City Council. <br /> Therefore, based on the above findings, I propose to amend Street Tree Program <br /> Administrative Rule R -7.280 to provide as follows: ■ <br /> STREET TREE PROGRAM <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE RULE R -7.280 <br /> R- 7.280 -A Street Tree Program - Policy. <br /> In order to create attractive and healthy neighborhood environments, no approvalshall be <br /> granted for a development that involves the creation of a street unless the applicant has submitted <br /> and received approval of a Street Tree Plan pursuant to R- 7.280 -C.1 or executed an agreement <br /> with the City pursuant to R- 7.280 -C.2 that ensures street trees will be planted and established in <br /> accordance with the standards and procedures provided for in these rules and the adopted <br /> policies of the Urban Forest Management Plan.
