The Fayette County Planning Commission will have a public hearing Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. on a proposed new tree preservation ordinance.

The meeting will be at the County Administrative Complex.

Plans are to receive public comment on the proposed ordinance during the meeting, then discuss the matter again at the group's Sept. 16 work session, followed by another public hearing and possible vote at the Oct. 7 business meeting.

For several months, the group has been working on a new ordinance in hopes of tightening restrictions in the current one, which is 20 years old.
