Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 16, 2015 Page 33 Nays: None. d. City of Roseville Request to Amend City Code, Chapter 1011.04 Tree Preservation and Restoration in all Districts City Planner Paschke referenced the RCA dated Noveinber 16, 2015; and deferred to Consultant Ben Gozola to review the most recent changes resulting from the Planning Commission's review based on their discussion, additions and revisions that were incorporatecl into the proposed draft ordinance (Attachment E) and in- corporating changes since the last City Council review in September of 2015. Mr. Gozola reviewed proposed changes and rationale of the Planning Commis- sion in their deliberations; and also advised that Consultant Marlc Rehder from S & S Tree Service was also present to assist in this discussion.

Mr. Rehder noted that this section represented a custom tool specific to Roseville; and in real world testing, S& S Tree Service would continue its application in a reviewing role, and track results inoving forward, bringing forward any needed changes based on that performance for future City Council review and action. Mayor Roe requested clarification for replacement tree locations in Section J, Itein 8 and 10% maximum language, and noted its inclusion in the marked up or- dinance (Attachment D) but did not find it into draft ordinance (Attaclunent E), with Mr. Gozola agreeing that it had been inadvertently omitted, and he would make that correction.

Councilmember Laliberte also thanked Mr. Gozola ancl the Planning Commission for listening to everyone's feedback. After creating this custom docuinent for the
