MINUTES 4F THE REGULAR ORUNO P�RK COMMISSION
MEETING HELD ON JULY 7, 1997
(#6- Tree Preservation- Continued)
Wilson asketi Van Zomeren her opinion regarding commercial property. Van Zomeren
said she has reviewed the zoning ardinance, code, and cornprehensive plan to see what is
detailed regarding tree preservation. There are landscaping t-equirements noted for
commercial property af l2%. Van Zomeren noted that the City of Minneapolis requires
2�%and questions whether 12% is adequate.. �an 2c�meren would like to see more
developed site plan regulations for commercia.l properties. She sa.id she is in the process
of recadifying the 2onin� codes.
Van Zomeren noted the need far the City to determine how stringent zoning codes should
be for the Highway 12 commercial area. She cited an example af excess parking and
minimum landscaping requirec! for Rick's Super Vaiu in Navarre. She opined that
additional trees and shrubs would improve sites and be an opp4rtumty for being a eaialy�st
in improvin�commerciat areas. She acl�nowledged Council's decision to decline provading
inpat in landscaping on a prior commercial application. Van Zameren noted�hat
cor�metcial site plans are related but separate fram tree preservation.
Wilson asked how commercial site plans interface with tree preservation. Van�pmeren
said tree preservation should occur and noted examples of commercial areas where
significant trees are located. Wilson questic�ned wh�ther tree preservation belortged in site
plannin� or as a separate issue natin�the possibitity af requirement a buffer area in
cammercial properties ta maintain the rural atmosphere. Van Zomeren said tree
preservation cauld be part af the landscaping plan.
Sea1 indicated the 12%landscaping r�uirement fails to state where the landscaping
should he placed.
Van Zomeren reviewed the existing ordinance and comprehensive plan which was
distributed to Park Commissianers noting where buffering is indicated ta maintain a rt�ral
feel ta property. She saw the references as bein�a starting point far providing needed
pres�rvation. It was noted that the reyuirements are more general but have no specifics to
hold owners to a standard.
Examples�vere shown irt the comprehensive plan where enviranmental goals in�reserving
natural resaurces were indicated(3.18), naturat resources to be included in develflpment
proposals{3.21)and retention of vegetation by the lake prahibit�ng clear or thin cutting
(3.22}requiring CUP in 0-75' setback. Van Zomeren nated there are slope restrictians
over 18°l0. Gappa indicated bluff areas cannat be disturbed withaut a CUP according to
the zoning ordinance(nat referenced in comprehensive plan). Van Zomer�n noted
eavironmental comments. Wilson indicated the need for more specific requirements.
Ilse noted that the cornprehensive plan is mare general ar semi-specific that cauld be
developed in the zoning ardinance.

N�NUTES OF THE REGULAR fJR�NO PARK COMMISSION
MEETING HELD ON JULY 7, i 997
(#b - Tree Preservatic�n -Cantinued}
Wilson acknowledged that the phitosophy of preservation is within the ordinance and
comprehensive plan giving more credibility to a tree preservation policy.
Van Zomeren noted references ta rural areas regarding native vegetation within the 0-75'
shoreland {4.13), land use for future development enhancin$the environment and
preservatian of views (4.1 S}, rural density and open space retaining waodlands and
wi}diife(4.9).
(VVhite arrived at this time.)
Beal questioned whether or not the comprehen�ive plan needs to be revised. Van
Zomeren indicated that it will have to be done. She said she was surprised by the amount
af references to tree preservatian in her review stating that priorities are the same as in the
proposed tree preservation policy. The "teeth" for adherence to paticies will be through
#he subdivision ordinances.
Van�ameren reference definitzon#58 of shade trees. Van Zomeren said species and size
should be indicated. Beai said subdivision#2 on gage 3 refers to it. Van Zomeren
referenced the first paragraph in 4.32 where it indicates the supply is provided by the
developer. She noted it could be argued that the tree preservation should make that
provision. �Vhite said if the Commissioners had known these policies were in the
ordinances and codes, these requirements would have been required. VVilson noted the
lack of reference to what is required for fields. Van Zomeren said vegetation plans can be
requested.
ti'an Zomeren referenced the general policy statement regarding the removal of trees. She
suggested tree location coutd be nated and the possibility af bufferinp atong the road
frontage. She nated that is has probably been arbitrarily enforced in the past. New trees
are to be at least 2" in diameter. Van Zomeren noted that the policy has nat been used in
the past. She indicated that the Jyland Develapment which is now vacant land and
recentty appraved does not have to inventory ail trees. 5he noted that this is simiiar for
Saga Hill. She does not beiieve tree removal will occur here but there are parcels where it
cauld happen and should be protected.

MINUTES OF TH�REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMIS�ION
MEETING HELD ON JULY 7, 199?
{##6 - Tree Preservatian- Continued)
McDertnott questianed the definition of a significant tree. White said trees of 6" ar more
cannat be cut in the shoretand district. Van�omeren said the zoning�ode is scattered in
its reference to trees but is clear in the 0-75' lakeshore in alI zonin�districts regarding
ciear cutting oftrees. She believes tree preservatian should be compatible with referenc,.e
to significant trees. S�asked what the Cc�mmission would be comfortable with as far as
definition of significant trees. Beal noted that the de6nition of significant trees is noted
els�where. Ilse suggested 6" as used in the 4-75' setback instead of the S" £or
replacement. Wilson said it should be specifi� as to what is dane. She n�ted that the
zoning code refers to a 12" trur;k above graund level as not less than 2" diameter. There
are good lists of species for bo�h coniferous and deciduous trees.
Van Zomeren said there is the issue of improving what is happening regarding tree
r�maval. Wilson felt tree removal is aniy occumng randomly and not clear cutting. Beal
noted this does not refer to privat�p�operty. White cited the example of the ordinance
involving dead tree removal. This cannot be done without inspection.
�V'ilson asked what should be brought to Council in light of comments r�ade by Van
Zomeren.
Beal asked what is involved in strengthening the zoning ordinance. Van Zomeren said the
vegetatian pian could be expanded regarding types of trees. Beal asked iF this couid be
done with a new ordinance. Van Zomeren said it should all be referenced in one
addendum to the ordinance as the "tree preservatifln ordinanee" and mac�e reference to
else�vhere'sn the ordinance to the tree policy. 5he felt the definitions in the submittal
re�quirements are reviewed regarding direction to applicants. She asked if 11.64 is needed
or should b�ir�ccxporated. The tree preservatian wauld he a new chap#er and referenced
in the zoning code. Van Zomeren said the code would have to be reviewed to verify there
are no contradictians. She said the commerciai subdivisions are regulated by the zaning
districts and is repartedly satisfied with what is w-rit#�n in the zvning code. The code can
be amended, deleted, and upgraded where necessary. The zotung code, however, needs to
ref�rence the tree ordinance policy to strengthen it. Van�omeren confirmed far Wilson
that all devalopers, both residential and can�rnercial, must adhere to the zoning code.
V�iison asked how what has been done so far fits in with the codes and whether it can be
enforced. Van Zomeren indicated the purpose, authority, and broad concepts can be
placed in the purpose statement. Beat can the first draft r�vhich was more detailed could be
r+eferenced.

MEET�iG HELD CEN JULY ?, 1997
(#6 - Tree Freservation - Cantinued)
Com�nissioners discussed whefiher points ane and two�vere neGessary. Bea1 noted#2's
intent is to inform private (and owners what can be done. Van�omeren said the
distinctior� is when an application is made to the City to divide land, which woutd initiate
the tree inventory and hovv trees are to be preserved. Wilson noted that this would not
affect a person wanting to remove a tree on their property. She felt the right of the private
property owtier needs to be recognized. McDermott questioned if tree removal wou�d be
allowed if it affected ma'sntaining the n�ralness of the praperty. He noted iree removal is
restricted in the shoreland district. t�ilson noted that the purpose of the shore�and
ordinance is to prot8ct lakes from pallution. Beai said the purpose of#2 is to show tl�at
�overnment is not to be heavy handed regarding what private property owners can do
with their propetty_
�se questioned whether the policy can pratect the right of each property owner versus a
person subdivic�ing their property. Beat indicated that it has been detertnined that the City
has the rigl�t ta regulate subdivision.
Wilsan indicated that she feels the buffer�one areas are impartartt. McDermatt felt #2
goes against buffering and questioned whethec some restriction would be included for
pr�vate property ow�ers. Wilson did not agree with IwlcDermott but thought there wauld
be some restrictions.
Van�omeren questioned the effect of deciding level af enforcernent on subdivisions may
impact the ruralness af the property. She nated smaller properties may not have the same
impact. She indicated that the ability t� inventary trees and regulate what happens tivith
trees wi�l not change.
Beal suggested#2 be eliminated and buffering cited elsewhere.
Wilson notecl the purpose is ta set guideiines. Gappa noted that the guidelines wauld only
affect new constructian or subdivision. V�n Zomeren said tree loss c�.n cscccur with the
instaliation of a new septic.
It was determined that#2 showed t�e thaught pro�ess the committee was takir►g. Beat
suggested starting v�th#he guide�nes for development. Wiison said additionai dctail can
cc�me�ater and pres�nt the general concept to the council with some directton. Van
Zomer�n noteci that the purpose is not to micro�anage individual properties.
Beal question��whether the issue was people clear cutting trees. McDermott said he
would not be happy if that oceuned but people have that right.

Plymauth deteted. #3 was revised to say, "Provide a guidebook far property owners,
giving reeommendations on basics of tree preservation and reforestation and maintenance.
This is considered an impartant......,...that is targeted at commercial and residential
developers. (#3 will now become#2 since the original #2 was deleted.) The last sentence
in#4 (now#3)wiii say," Spectfics reg�trdin�tree preservation and refare�tation will be
provided by outside eonsultants with Staff„�;;uidance.
Regarding#4, Van Zomeren questioned whether the number of tree would create a
problem for prQviding a building pad. McDermott said Council ean make individual
exceptions.
Van Zomer�en sa.id she is nat clear on density of zoning districts. She cited the example
tt�t 100%of the progerty dves not t�ave to�xe protected and the intent could result in no
develapme�t. Wilson said the property would have to meet certain param�eters. Besl
suggested leaving tl�e parameters to be set by consultant.
Regarding poticy f+�r commercial properties, Van Zomeren cited what she lac>ks for in
applicatians. She acknowledged the need to preserye trees but felt there was mc�re need
�'or landscape development. She said the Commission n�eds to recogru�e that there are
ather needs than tree preservation alone. She suggested a separate commercial site
devei�pment palicy s�ould be considered.
White noted that Navarre is not rural and does not reflect 4rono's plvlosophy af a rural
eommunity. Wiison agreed that the stat�ment in#4 is an ambiguous stat�rrtent.
Ct�rnmercial development would be required to follaw tree preservatian policy along with
the other guidelines.
McDermatt questioned wi�at#4 would da for properties such as the Dickey Prc�perty.
Wilson said it needs reforestation.
Van 2omeren questianzd what should be required for subdivision of what is naw corn
fields. Wilsan said the requirements should includ�buffering. Wilson sugg�sted bufferin�
adds grace and softens property.
Ilse questioned what the Commission wants Highway 12, which is the heart of Orano, to
look like. Van Zomeren said she is concerned with the Higiiway 12 parcel that is available
for development. Wilson said tree buffering shou}d occur. 1VIcDermott said it would
reyuire a specific ordinance far that to accur. Ilse and Beat agreed that a separate
ardinance should be required.

increasing tandscaping and trees. Wilson encowa�ed Van�omeren to be stringent.
The new#4 is the determination of criteria.
#5 will state, "A commercial site develapment poficy is needed to encourage
developmem." Wilson said tl�is should contain very spe�ific guidelines for spec�fic
buffering.
It was suggested that a#6 be added to refer to refarestatian. The consultant will be
deferred to regarding int�rnal tree% a.nd buffering. Commissioners voiced concern with
cornfields or pasture land now becoming reforested and whether that was the gaai.
McDermott suggested referencing the 5-acre zoning and returnin�property that was onee
prairie back to prairie.
'Wilson suggested#6 be reforestation or prairie development. Ilse asked how this would
affect horse farms. Wilson said 5 acre prop�rties should be dealt with differentty. Wilson
said there should be a parameter for reforestation or preservation.
McDermatt suggested different parameters far different parcel sizes. Wilson thought this
was dealt with under#4 where criteria is determined. McDermott said the tar�er acreages
can be retained as open field or prairie under criteria determined in�.
It will be noted in the preamble that Qrono has 6een devetoped well over th�years(which
was noted at the end of the original #S)_

the crafting of the poticy with the consultant, Staff, and several members of the Plan�ing
and Park Commissions. Van Zomeren nvte�that the consultant is under contFact. Wilson
said Council wilt to asked ta pay the cost of using the consultant for this task.
Wilson asked if the consuitant would be hired tta handle the tree presetvation issues once a
policy is estabiished. White said the devetopers could be required to hire a consultant.
