I MAPim ffleffITMA .14AZI�A There was some question as to whether or not a replat had been signed on this particular subdivision. It was noted that the replat was tabled from the April 15, 1986 meeting. The applicant was present to speak concerning the tree removal situation. He informed Staff that at the time he came to the City for a tree removal application, he was not aware of the Tree Preservation Ordinance. It was noted that approximately 47 large caliper trees had been removed prior to application for the tree removal permit. It was also noted that it was difficult to tell where the trees had been removed, because at the time the City inspector was instructed to investigate the situation, the trees were all stacked up in a raw. It was suggested by Tommy Hardy that the Department of Community Development get together with Engineering to have some written information available to people concerning the Tree Preservation Ordinance, at the beginning of a development. The Commission discussed having the applicant replant approximately 18 trees between the 6 buildings and having them spread out in a way to look aesthetically pleasing. Following discussion, Gil Traverse made a motion to accept the tree removal application with agreement of replanting eighteen 3" or larger caliper trees and Catherine Martin seconded the motion, which prevailed as follows: Ayes: Cook, Traverse, Atchley, Engholm and Martin Nays: None Absent: Atkins and Mever junallogg NOW% • The Planning and Zoning Adhoc Committee to review Section 60 will meet January 15, 1987 to consider changes to Grapevine sign requirements.
