BACKGROUND
At the June 9, 1998 City Council meeting, testimony was heard regarding the appeal of
Planning Commission approval of a retroactive oak tree permit. At that meeting, the City
Council continued the item to November 10, 1998 to allow staff and the applicant time to
prepare an alternative plan. Staff has met with the applicant, the applicant's engineer and oak
tree consultant in an effort to establish a development plan for the site, which would include
oak tree mitigation. An MOU is being drafted to memorialize these discussions. Staff is still
working with the applicant in preparing this document and therefore, staff is recommending
a two-month continuance for this item.
