Councilmember Robertson suggested that the Council
review the changes in the SAO Ordinance and the
Hillside Design Ordinance prior to discussing the Tree
Preservation Ordinance. The Council concurred and
proceeded with the discussion.
The Council concluded the discussion on the amended
SAO Ordinance and decided a document will be made
ready to submit to the Planning Commission. After the
Planning Commission hold their hearings, the Council
will continue the legislative process by following the
usual procedure of holding a Public Hearing for citizens
participation.
The Council discussed the Draft Tree Preservation
Ordinance which was loosely based on the Fulton
County Tree Preservation Ordinance Standards
because several Council members thought those
provisions applicable to Tukwila. This draft had been
before the Council before; however, this draft included
referenced tables to give the Council some idea of the
suggested tree densities on lots.
The Council discussed most of the twenty -three page
document covering the intent and purpose, applicability,
permit procedure, tree replacement, and the tree
preservation plan.
The following questions were raised: would a consultant
presumably write an ordinance, or, conduct an inventory
of current significant trees in the City, or both? Could a
guided tour be provided that would address all the
definitions of trees? Would tree preservation be
customized to Tukwila? Will a plan be in place prior to
the Urban Environmentalist coming on board, or will
this person be on board to participate in the initial stages
of the development of this ordinance?
