CANOPY COVERS <br /> <br />Mr. Max stated that he is meeting with Kunde Company on December 3 to talk about <br />possibilities for establishing landscape requirements based on canopy cover rather than number <br />of stems. Mr. Max will report back with his findings at the December 19 Task Force meeting. <br /> <br />RELEAF GRANT <br /> <br />Ms. Strommen stated that she has had discussions with Parks Supervisor Mark Boos regarding <br />the LCMR grant the City received and the detail of tree inventory that would be included as part <br />of that grant. Mr. Boos has confirmed that the level of detail the Task Force is looking for will <br />not be attained in his grant work. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of those present that Environmental Specialist Bruce Bacon and <br />Community Development Assistant Chris Anderson should draft an application for the Releaf <br />grant for the purpose of compiling a tree inventory for Ramsey. <br /> <br />DENSITY TRANSITIONING <br /> <br />A brief discussion ensued regarding the City's new density transitioning requirements and what <br />enforcement capabilities the City has to ensure that the homeowner does not eliminate or reduce <br />the density transition amenities the developer of the property was required to install or preserve. <br /> <br />Motion by Committee Member Connolly and seconded by Committee Member Dvorak to delay <br />discussion of density transition enforcement standards until a regular meeting in January, or <br />when the Committee has completed drafting the tree preservation ordinance, whichever occurs <br />first. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chaiperson McDilda, Committee Members Max, Strommen, <br />Connolly, Dvorak, Sitz. Voting No: None. Absent: Committee Members Cook, Marshall and <br />Reeve. <br /> <br />The members discussed the need for this group to perform on a permanent basis to monitor <br />impact of development on the environment. <br /> <br />TREE ORDINANCE WORK SESSION <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated that at the next regular meeting of this committee, he will provide an <br />update of how many sections and pages of the draft ordinance have been reviewed and how <br />many sections and pages remain to be reviewed. <br /> <br />· Tree Planting, Maintenance, and Removal <br /> <br />1.
