Add some kind of exclusion for owner occupied, single family properties. It would be very difficult for the average property owner to obtain a bond, and it would be a hardship to not have access to that money for 3 years. It would be impossible to enforce a bond on land not visible from the ROW.  Pg. 9, XV1, B, C—Appeals process should be specific to Tree Ordinance. Be specific about the criteria for approving a variance.  Pg. 11, Section 1, A2a—Add ‘Show trees within 50’ of the property line.’  Pg. 11, Section 1, A2d—Should be clear that the payment option is for rare/hardship cases only. Add Tree Bank option?  Pg. 13, Section D—Limitation to pines and yellow poplar? Increase perimeter buffer? Harsher limits on development activity for a violation? 9) Other business--None 10) Adjournment TERRY HERR, DRB CHAIR ANGELA RAMBEAU, PLANNER
