Planning Commission
Special Adjourned Meeting
October 22, 1977
The meeting was convened at 11: 45 a.m. at 29831 Grandpoint Lane.
PRESENT: Hinchliffe, Hughes, Rosenberg, McTaggart
ABSENT: Bacharach
Also present were Director of Planning Sharon Hightower, and Assistant
Planners Keith Turner and Charlie Jencks.
TREE TRIMMING Seven private residences were investi-
gated for possible view obstruction
and difficulties in applying the draft
ordinance. Some of the issues which were discussed in applying the ordi-
nance were: location of primary viewing area, establishment of the
horizontal arc, the 25% criterion for view obstruction, and allowable
heights for existing vegetation.
Due to difficulties in establishing a view station at or above the hori-
zontal arc, a vertical distance of five feet above the arc was suggested
for the purpose of evaluating view obstruction. The use of the 25%
criterion for establishing the amount of view obstruction and the loca-
tion of the obstructing vegetation relative to that criterion was also
discussed.
Two public views and vistas were also looked at relative to view ob-
struction; however, no definite determination of obstruction was made
while viewing the suggested sites.
The meeting was adjourned at 2 : 30 p.m.
