At its meeting on Monday, December 10, the Planning Commission reopened the public hearing due to procedural issues they became aware of after the hearing was closed on November 26 (Exhibit G-3). In addition, testimony received by staff prior to the hearing being closed was inadvertently omitted and has been added to the record (Exhibits G-2). The Commission deliberated and made a preliminary recommendation that the City Council approve the proposed amendments with the tree mitigation ratio set at the same ratio as the rest of the city (1 tree per 1 tree) except the minimum tree caliper of 3 inches in the Lake Grove Village Center (LGVC) be maintained.
The Findings, Conclusions and Order (the final recommendation) will be considered on January 14, 2019. The public testimony portion of the hearing has been closed and no further testimony will be accepted.
