Join us to review and comment on Decatur’s tree ordinance

How Decatur manages its tree canopy has always been a component of the Unified Development Ordinance initiative currently underway. However, recent community concerns brought an increased level of urgency to the subject, prompting city commissioners to pass a 90-day moratorium on tree removal and fast-track the UDO’s tree-related requirements. That effort is now in process and its work-in-progress will be presented and discussed Wednesday, December 11.
PLEASE JOIN US:
Trees! Crafting Decatur-Appropriate Regulations
December 11 | 7-9pm | City Hall Commission Meeting Room
The meeting will begin with a 30-minute presentation by the city’s tree consultant, Connie Head of Technical Forestry Services, followed by an opportunity for attendees to consider various policy direction alternatives and provide feedback on their preferences.
Resident input will then be factored into the working draft and finalized recommendations will be completed in early January. Those recommendations will be posted on the DecaturNEXT website for review prior to the Commission’s consideration, which will take place January 21, 2014 at 7:30pm in the City Hall Commission Meeting Room.
Join us at the meeting then check back often for updates. And in the meantime, provide your comments and questions directly to the city here.

So glad the City is working hard to improve Tree Protection! It is critical to preserving a high quality of life in our community.
