Discussion was held by the Commission as to the most appropriate steps to take in the con~ sideration of the petitions schedulEd to be heard, since this would probably be the method which would be used in all the future reclassification of parcels of land to place the~use af the parcels in question in their most appropriate zone.

Commissioner Rowland then expressed the opinion that if a Commission were appointed, land- scape architects, tree surgeons, botonists~ agronomists, and the traffic engineer should be on the Commission; that this group need not meet every month~ since the removal of a tree was not so urgent that it could not be left up ~~ntil the next meeting, and that of all the Directors of._Public Works he had met within the ~tate and outside the State~ Mr. Piersall was the finest Directar he had ever met.

Commissioner Perry stated the trees and tree planting were a part of Planning,andtheirremoval should be giveri serious consideration; that the tree ordinances of othex cities should be studied together with their approach to the preservation of trees, and that after all this information was obtained, the Planning Department, together with the Director of Public Works, should draft an ordinance which would be more apropos for the City's tree preservation problem, but that no immediate action should be contemplated until adequate data had been revieweda . Commissioner Camp stated he was in agreement with Commissioner Perry's statemento Mr. Kreidt then asked the Commission to give the Staff some idea of the Commission's thinking of the problem, that the ordinance of the City of Pomona would be sent to the Commission together with a future meeting packet, and that adequate time should be given the Staff to conduct the investigation with other citiesa Commissioner Rowla;3 then stated that although it might be difficult to draft a strept tree ordinance with unusual standards, that he had been working on this problem for a number of years in an attempt to resolve the preservation of the trees in the City, that presently the sight from La Palma Stadium during the day made one proud of the beauty of the City, but th?~ beauty would not be a part of the City long if the trees were removed at the rate the program was set for, and that the Cities of Pomona, Pasadena, and Ojai had street tree ordinances, that these should be consulted, together with discussions with their Planning Departments, to determine how their street tree preservation problems were resolved, and that it was his feeling that if a collective decision was made by a commis- sion, a more equitable solution might be found to preserve the beautiful old trees in the Cityo Commissioner Rowland also stated he was desirous of learning from the Superintendent of Parkway Maintenance the reason why the six Karab trees were removed from Alberta Streeto Commissioner Rowland then offered a motion directing the Planning Department to assemble all data and material relative to compiling a street tree ordinance, and the possibility of presenting to tha City Council factual data for the appointment of a street trec~ commis- sion consisting of a landscape architect, tree surgeon, a botonist, a agronomist, and the traffic eng'ineer to determine whether a tree or numbers of trees~warrant being removed, and that a report be submitted to the Commissiono Commissioner Perry seconded the motione MOTION CARRIED.
