Page 3 - CITY OF POWAY - February 10, 2000
January 4, 2000 Second Reading, the ordinance was pulled and staff was directed to
revise and clarify the ordinance and bring it back for Council review and discussion at a
workshop. The primary intent of the Tree City USA designation is to demonstrate good
urban tree management practices, planting the right trees in the right places. The current
Poway Municipal Code provisions for tree preservation were used as a basis for this
ordinance. The terms, phrases, procedures and policies have been corrected and/or
clarified under the proposed ordinance. The only changes in practice and or policy would
be as follows: Encroachment Permits would be required for trees to be planted on public
rights-of-way; Prohibition of planting trees in public rights-of-way on residential streets and
easements; Tree permit appeals; Native Tree definition; Establishment of a Poway Tree
Committee.
The following people were present wishing to speak:
Gail Trunnell, 13314 Neddick, spoke in support of the Tree City USA, opposed to
regulation on private property.
D. Fleischman, 15070 Pomerado, spoke in support of the Tree City USA.
