For February 18, 1994 Newsletter <br /> Tree Preservation Ordinance Temporary Administrative Rules to become Permanent <br /> Administrative Rules. <br /> Zast October, 180 day temporary administrative rules were adopted to aide <br /> staff in administering the changes in the Tree Preservation Ordinance enacted <br /> by the City Council. These rules were adopted as temporary rules to give time <br /> for staff to gain experience with issues or changes which might need to be <br /> incorporated in the final rules. Since these temporary rules will expire in <br /> early April, staff will soon prepare for posting and publication an <br /> administrative order to make these rules permanent. <br /> Staff feel the experience gained in use of the administrative rules has been <br /> very good with little change needing to be made. The only recommended <br /> modification being added is language which restricts roads from being built <br /> and restricts non-rubber tired vehicles from being used in the logging <br /> operations unless the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of <br /> the City that wooded areas along ridgelines and hilltops would be retained for <br /> their scenic and wildlife habitat values, and wooded areas along property <br /> lines would be retained to provide buffers from adjacent properties."
