HCAI City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor Department of Community Development Jack Pace, Director DATE: January 115, 2013 MEMORANDUM TO: Tukwila Tree and Environment Advisory Committee FM: Carol Lumb, Senior Planner Sandra Whiting, Urban Environmentalist RE: January 23, 2013 Advisory Committee Meeting We will continue review of the Natural Environment goals at our next meeting. Staff has revised the goals and policies to reflect the direction from the Committee at the 12/19/12 meeting. Please review the revisions to the first section of the document to make sure it reflects the direction of the Committee. Staff is proposing that we not revisit the first three and a half pages of the Goals and Policies document unless we have seriously missed the mark on Committee directed revisions to the first section. We would instead pick up where we left off on December 19th - this place is marked on page four of the Goals and Policies document with a series of X's two- thirds of the way down the page. When the Advisory Committee has worked its way through the entire document, including working on urban forestry goals and policies, the Committee will have an opportunity to go back and review all the goals and policies in the context of the entire Chapter prior to finalizing the document to forward to the Planning Commission for its review. Some other explanatory notes on the revisions you will see in the goals and policies: • The color has been used for totally new text that the Committee has not seen before - staff has added this new goal /policy either at the direction of the Committee, or after reviewing the City of Puyallup's objectives and policies or reviewing the City's flood plain and clearing and grading regulations and adding goals /policies to address gaps in the current text. • The Committee indicated at the last meeting that seeing how the goals and policies are implemented would be helpful. After many goals or policies you will see text inw and enclosed in parentheses — these are references to the regulations that would or currently do implement the referenced item. • The Committee had directed that once it reaches consensus on text, that the text color be changed to black — staff will make this change with the next iteration of the document after the Committee confirms that the revisions to the first three and a half pages reflect the Committee's direction. Since we are running a bit behind schedule, staff would like to take up each section of goals /policies — water resources, beginning on page 4, water quality /quantity, flood control, earth resources — rather CPL Page 1 of 2 W:c,\Long Range ProjectsAlrban Forestry\Advisory Committee Materials\Meeting 5\Memo 5 06/10/2013 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone 206 - 431 -3670 • Fax: 206 - 431 -3W
