that a credit is needed for cases where existing properly located trees can be preserved <br />within the right-of-way.: Accordingly, R-7.280-C. i was revised to authorize the Urban , <br />Forester to exempt specific areas from required tree planting. If an exemption is <br />requested and granted, the required fees would be adjusted accordingly, so no revision to <br />the fee schedule is necessary. <br />E. In addition to the specific findings set forth above, I fmd that. the reduction in the <br />tree preservation :appeal fee and the Street Tree Program fees set forth in Exhibit A hereto are <br />consistent with applicable policies and directives of the City Council, including policies developed <br />through the Eugene Decisions-process, are based on the City's estimate of the costs associated <br />with providing.. the services, and. are necessary in order to recover those costs from the <br />beneficiaries of the services. I further find that it would be more efficient to consolidate the <br />previously established tree preservation fees, with those implementing the.. City's Street Tree <br />Program in one fee schedule and repeal. Administrative Order No. 58-93-20-F. <br />On the basis of these fmdings, I order that: <br />1. ~ .Administrative` Order No. 58-93-20-F and any order in conflict herewith is <br />repealed, as of the effective date of this Order. <br />2.
