B. Announcements by members of the community:
George Clark of 4525 – 28th Street, N.W. related information from the January 13 monthly meeting of the Zoning Commission regarding the Forest Hills Tree and Slope Protection Overlay. The Zoning Commission is considering keeping the overlay now in effect for those steeply-sloped areas adjacent to parks, but devising a new zone district for other parts of Forest Hills and similar areas of the city that have very large lots and are not built out to capacity. This zone district would be more restrictive than R-1A, but not include restrictions on tree removal. Commissioner Maudlin added that the Office of Planning will bring a map with tree slope designations by Lot and Square to this February 24th meeting . In the future, the Zoning Commission will examine “TSO Light” where non-slope areas would have no tree restrictions. Mr. Clark indicated that the Office of Attorney General opposed the inclusion of construction management plans in future BZA orders.
