Plat <br />Brief Review/Outline of DRAFT Ordinance & Policy <br />1. David Beal's 4/3/97 draft for discussion is virtually identical to Shorewood's pojiey <br />resolution. Note that Shorewood adopted a half-page tree QrdinwiW that references the Trw <br />Preservation and Replacement Policy which is adopted by rgSOlmiQO- A benefit of this is that <br />the Policy may be re’. ised by resolution from time to time, rather than requiring an ordinance <br />change. Other cities ha\ e incorpiorated their policies into their ordinance directly rather than <br />by reference. Either way works, but the 'separate policy document' method results in more <br />flexibility for future revisions. <br />2. The Shorewood ordinance as adapted by staff for Orono (for discussion) contains merely 3 <br />paragraphs; <br />The same 'Purpose' statement that appears in the Policy document <br />A statement that the City will adopt tree preservation regulations by resolution <br />A statement that non-compliance with the regulations constitutes a violation <br />3. The Policy document has been re-drafted by stafl and contains the following elements. <br />I.Purpose Statement <br />(Indicates City's intent is to protect significant trees, stands of trgSS and <br />wooded buffer areas) <br />ition <br />ons. <br />II.
