Re: Ordinance Amending the Tree Regulations
In regard to discussions at the informal meeting Monday, I have con-
versed with Billie Hauber, and she feels the fol
Tree Regulations would be acceptable: lowing changes in the
I. Section 8.10.40.6(A)(3) should be changed to read as follows:
"If any provision of this section would preclude the planting of
one or more trees adjacent to the right-of-way, the trees unable to
be planted adjacent to the right-of-way shall be planted within the
right-of-way according to the provisions of paragraph (C). How-
ever, trees excluded by the provisions of p
omitted." aragraph (C) may be
2. Section 8.10.40.6(B)(2) should be reworded as follows:
"Large and medium size trees shall be planted at a minimum ratio of
one (1) tree for every 40 feet of lot frontage or for small size
trees, every 30 feet of lot frontage. In the case of a corner lot,
only one (1) tree for every 60 feet of lot frontage shall be re-
quired."
3. A new section 8.10.40.6(8)(4) should be added as follows:
"Small size trees may be located to within eight (8) feet of a
building; however, large and medium size trees shall not be located
closer than 16 feet to a building."
4. Section 8.10.40.6(8)(4) should be changed to paragraph (5) and read
as follows:
"Large and medium size trees shall be spaced no closer than 40 feet
apart or for small size trees, no closer than 16 feet apart,
excet along

The above minor changes should alleviate the concerns which the City
Forester and City Council had regarding the spacing and location of
trees.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 11, 1979

From: Director -Department of Housing & Inspection Services
Re: Ordinance Amending Ceiling Height -Housing Code
Due to an administrative oversight, the ordinance that has been pre-
viously considered by the Council regarding required ceiling height of
the City's Housing Code, had to be reworded. Therefore, it is necessary
that the language in the attached proposed ordinance be given first
consideration by the Council. We regret the error in not submitting the
redraft of this ordinance as it had been suggested by the City Attorney
and discussed at the informal Council meeting of June 25, 1979. It
should be noted, there is no change in the intent of this version of the
Code amendment from the one given second reading on July 3, 1979, how-
ever, the ordinance had to be reworded to conform to State Code language
