.Frank Riggins said that we would dispense with all other business and our meeting will consist
of an update from the Land Alteration Task Force. Frank called on Commission Vice -Chair
Dottie Funk to bring the commission up to speed. Dottie gave a brief background of the Land
Alteration Task Force. The task force has been working on three areas; tree preservation,
landscape ordinance update, and excavation ordinance update. Dottie introduced Mina Drause, a
member of the Land Alteration Task Force, who has put many hours into the compilation of the
tree preservation part of the ordinance. Dottie reminded the Commission members that we are
discussing a draft that has not been totally approved by the task force. Mina Drause then
discussed the tree preservation ordinance point by point.
After some comments by commission members, Frank thanked Mina for her report. Dottie
reiterated that the process is approval by the City Beautiful Commission, then Planning
Commission approval. We also want to present this to the public in some way.
I hope that City Beautiful will step forward and support the task force by sponsoring some of the
educational presentations to the public. We anticipate resistance from the development
community.
