[Durham INC] Tree Coverage Text Amendment

[Will Wilson]

FYI the city council sent the proposed text amendment that reduced tree 
coverage on parcels with easements was back to the Planning Department 
for more study. Bob Healy asked to see a map showing all of the affected 
parcels, but the developer/Planning Department hadn't done that work, so 
they had no idea how much of the county would be affected, despite 
recommending the amendment's passage. The revelation that the change 
wouldn't affect imperviousness calculations, only tree coverage, also 
seemed important.

Many thanks to the City Council!

When/if it comes back, I'll let you know.

Thanks,
Will
