Committee says arborist plan will be submitted; tree-board review may be required
Summary
Members raised tree-protection concerns and said the contractor engaged a certified arborist and will submit a tree-protection plan for the tree board to review; committee agreed to follow up on whether a public hearing under local "chapter 87" rules will be required.
Liaison members and staff discussed tree protections and whether a public hearing under local tree rules would be required.
A liaison referenced 'chapter 87' when researching tree law and asked whether the committee should expect a public request or hearing. Staff said the site contractor has engaged a certified arborist and that a tree-protection plan is in the contract documents; staff will formally submit the plan and ask the tree board to review and "bless" the proposed protections. Staff also said they would follow up and formally post any required hearing if necessary.
Committee members expressed a desire to be conservative with tree protections and to ensure arborist recommendations are made available to the board and the public. The committee agreed to track the tree-board review and to coordinate any posting or hearing as required by local rules.
