78-167 — Variance to waive separate tree assessments for Sections 7, 8, and 9 of residential development in Montgomery, TX
This case involves a variance request for the Briarley development seeking relief from submitting separate tree assessments for future preliminary plats covering Sections 7, 8, and the final Section 9. The developer claims approximately 65% of the original tree canopy has been preserved with additional canopy being added. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval with limitations contingent on City Council approval, which will affect how tree compliance oversight is conducted for these sections.
