He asked if by pulling a building permit, could they not start taking <br />trees down. City Attorney Goodrich stated his understanding that the intention was that prior to <br />getting a building permit, they had to show which trees would be removed and it had to be <br />agreed npon by the City. City Engineer Jankowski referred to page 193; section 16, where it was <br />more definitively stated. Councilmember Hendriksen asked what would prevent the developer <br />from cutting down all the trees. City Engineer Jankowski stated it would need to be approved by <br />the City. Mayor Gamec stated they hire people that are responsible for that. Councilmember <br />Hendriksen stated this had not worked in the past. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
