08-05-96 v TREE CONSERVATION BOARD
Minutes of August 5 , 1996
The Board held its regular meeting on Monday, August 5 , in
the City Commission Chambers . Present were :
Hope Van Nortwick, Chairman Rick Bell
Mae Jones Judy Jacobson
Staff: George Worley, Carl Walker
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Hope Van Nortwick
at 7 : 35 PM.
The only application for Board consideration was for tree re-
moval at Lot #11 , Block #11 , Selva Marina, Unit #6 . Rick Bell
declared a conflict of interest as a Board member since he is
the contractor for the proposed residence. The only protected
trees to be removed are 2 oaks with DBH' s of 24" & 6" . Both
the plans and the site markings identify oak trees to remain
on the lot as mitigation.
Following a brief discussion, Judy Jacobson moved to accept
the application and plans, as presented, with the mitigation
indicated. Mae Jones seconded; the motion unanimously passed.
It was expressed by Board members that there was some con-
fusion on the application form, specifically items #4 and #8 ,
on which trees for removal should be listed. George Worley
will implement a change on item #4 of the form to include a
DBH of 6" or greater.
Hope advised that she had not yet completed the letter re-
garding the agreement reached on the tree planting at Sa-
turiba by Tiffany by the Sea. She will do so prior to the
next meeting. George Worley reported that Warren Mack had
notified him verbally that he intends to withdraw his ap-
peal to the City Commission. Mr. Mack is to confirm this in
writing prior to the next Commission meeting date . The
appeal by Sandar Industries will be on the agenda for the
Commission meeting of August 26 . Should there be any change
on either of the appeals , Board members will be notified.
Under reports and announcements, Mae Jones passed around a
packet of information she recently received on historic
trees on property at 5th Street & East Coast Drive . Dis-
cussion followed on the historic and/or significant tree
designation program. Mae will contact Joanne Morriseau so
that an additional article on the subject can be included in
the forthcoming issue of "Tideviews" . Rick Bell volunteered
to compile and assemble a notebook of nominated trees to
include a photograph and description. This will be an on-
going program for the Board.
George Worley advised that he recently received a check
covering a contribution to the tree fund from an applicant
who appeared before the Board. Judy Jacobson agreed to com-
pile from Board meeting minutes a listing of permit condi-
tions so that a "tracking" record can be kept of compliance.
Judy Jacobson moved to approve the minutes, as presented. The
motion was seconded by Mae Jones and passed unanimously.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned
at 8 : 30 PM.
