Agenda items were as follows: ^ Ordinance 2003-148, an ordinance amending Chapter 1139 of the Planning and Zoning Code entitled "Building Districts," in order to permit the installation of shade trees within the right of way, specifically amending Section 1139.18. This ordinance will allow the placement of trees within the right of way between the tree lawns and the streets of the business district. This will improve the esthetics in the commercial area. It was discussed that some areas would not be wide enough to accommodate this, but there are some areas, especially in the west end of the city, where this could be done. The trees used would have to be able to withstand the salt and of a variety that do not grow too tall. After lengthy discussion, the committee recommended approval. This will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and then returned to the BZD Committee with their recommendations.
