Present were committee members McKay, Gareau, Nashar; Councilmen Miller, Limpert and Dailey; President of Council O'Grady; City Forester Wendell, Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk, Law Director Dubelko. Agenda items were as follows: Ordinance 2003-69, an ordinance amending Section 950.03 of Chapter 950 of the Streets, Utilities and Public Services Code entitled "Urban Forest" by inserting standards and procedures for tree preservation and/or removal permits in the course of development plan review and to authorize the assessment of permit fees for the Forester's review and declaring an emergency. Ordinance 2003-69 is designed to protect the existing trees and the vegetation of commercial and residential multi- family homes. A companion ordinance, Ordinance 2003-70, was also discussed. This legislation amends Section 950.02 of Chapter 950 of the Streets, Utilities and Public Services Code entitled "Urban Forest" to revise certain duties of the City Forester and declaring an emergency. This gives the City Forester the vested duties and powers to enforce this ordinance, and he will make the decisions as to what trees will be removed and which ones will remain. The legislation provides for the assessment of fees. After lengthy discussion with the City Forester and the Law Director, the committee unanimously recommended approval of Ordinance 2003-69 and Ordinance 2003-70 as amended.

The proposal consists of a 160 foot tower to be installed within the Ohio Department of Transportation right-of- way. The area will be 60 x 60 square feet. This will be an enclosed area with a 7 foot high fence around it. The city preferred to relocate the tower further north on the property, but ODOT would not agree. The BZD Committee did ask to improve the landscaping near the fenced area by adding additional trees, with the recommendation/approval of the City Forester. Councilman Nashar moved that Council approve the proposal for T-Mobile Wireless Communications subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions and the City Forester. The 6
