PlanningBoard | 2011-11-28 | 3 | these tree removals, which are not appealable in the current MSTP, are proposed to remain non-appealable. Mr. Naclerio also stated that the City Council's approval to remove any tree(s) is final, provided the project commences within two years of the City Council approval. This is the standard effective approval period for planning projects. Furthermore, should construction of the project occur after one year of the City Council approval, an informational community meeting is to be held prior to commencement of the project. Board member Kohlstrand mentioned that the staff report states that the tree will be posted three weeks prior to removal and the proposed revisions state that it will be posted two weeks prior. Mr. Naclerio stated that the correct time frame is three weeks. President Ezzy Ashcraft asked that when a CIP goes before the City Council for approval that it not be placed on the Consent Calendar. Mr. Naclerio stated that the projects will not be on the Consent Calendar. Board member Zuppan asked why if the City Council approval is good for two years why a informational community meeting will be held in one year regarding the removal. Mr. Naclerio stated that the meeting is a way to refresh everyone's memory that the project was previously approved. Board member Zuppan asked that the informational community meeting be held an appropriate amount of time before the removal to allow for any City Council action if necessary. Mr. Naclerio stated that the project is still approved for the two year period and the meeting is just a courtesy reminder but saw no reason that the meeting can't be held three weeks prior to the removal. Vice President Autorino stated that three weeks notice of the pre approved project is more than generous. President Ezzy Ashcraft asked that when these projects are brought for approval that the Planning Board and City Council be given renderings of the projects. She also asked to see a rendering of the Park Street Streetscape project. She also suggested that the Public Works take a look at the City of Oakland site which describes all of the projects going on in Oakland for the public's information. Mr. Naclerio stated that the Public Works Department is working on a contract to do a rendering of the Park Street project. Vice President Autorino stated that once a project is approved it should not have to be open to everyone coming back and opposing the project unless a significant change has been made.
