April 16, 1993 <br /> SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF THE LANE COUNTY TREE CONSERVATION AND PROTECTION CODE <br /> The Lane County Tree Conservation and Protection Code will sunset on June 1, <br /> 1993. The City administers the code that regulates tree removal within Eu- <br /> gene's urban transition area (UT). City staff has requested that Lane County <br /> Board of Commissioner's grant an eighteen month extension of this code. <br /> In the last eighteen months under the Lane County code one permit to remove <br /> trees was requested and granted. This was a logging operation east of Spring <br /> Blvd. and north of 30th Avenue and encompassed approximately 300 acres. Half <br /> the acreage lay within the urban transition area with the remaining portion <br /> outside Eugene's planning jurisdiction. <br /> The County code continues to be non - controversial with a low level of activi- <br /> ty. However, it does provide a level of safeguards to prevent large scale <br /> clear cutting as allowed by Oregon Department of Forestry regulations. <br /> The Lane County Board of Commissioner's is scheduled to have the first read- <br /> ing of the extension of this code on May 12, 1993. Staff will keep City <br /> Council informed of their actions. <br /> For more information, please contact Urban Forester, Jan Staszewski, at <br /> 687 -5359. <br /> cc: Chris Andersen <br /> Bob Hammitt <br /> John Etter <br /> Johnny Medlin <br /> Jan Staszewski <br />
