August 24, 2012 <br />Tukwila Tree and Environment Advisory Committee <br />September 26, 2012 Meeting <br />by staff to then revise the implementing regulations, create new regulations and/or develop new <br />programs. We don't expect you to be conversant on these materials — instead, we hope that it will help <br />familiarize you with the policy and regulatory context that we currently have in the City. We will be <br />providing you with a detailed table that summarizes all the existing regulations the City now has related <br />to trees and vegetation for a later meeting that should help to guide the Committee's discussions. <br />The final group of reading materials provides some background information on the biology of trees, and <br />the benefits trees provide to communities. <br />• The Benefits of Trees <br />• Trees are Good, But... <br />• The Case for More Urban Trees <br />• Primer on Tree Biology (from Trees and Development, by Nelda Matheny and James R. <br />Clark) <br />At our first meeting, we will give you a three ring notebook and dividers in which to keep the materials <br />we provide you for each meeting. <br />We look forward to seeing you on September 26, 2012 — please call or e-mail if you have any questions <br />in the meantime. <br />Enclosures <br />cc: Nora Gierloff, Deputy Director, Department of Community Development <br />Kimberly Matej, Council Analyst <br />CPL Page 2 of 2 <br />W: \\Long Range Projects\Urban Forestry \Advisory Committee Materials\Memo 1 <br />94 <br />06/10/2013 1:35 PM <br />
