The meeting was called to order at 7 : 30 PM by Hope Van Nort-

The first item of business was consideration of the tree re-
moval application for Lot #26 , Unit #2 , Oceanwalk . Mr . Jim
Lee , representing the builder , Mariah Homes , was present.
Mr . Lee explained that subsequent to the filing of the appli -
cation , he had adjusted the location of the proposed house
on the lot in order to save a 32" DBH oak tree. That tree is
listed on the application for removal and is located near the
garage/driveway entry in the front of the property . By ro-
tating or shifting the footprint of the house approximately

number of DBH inches of hardwood trees to 66" proposed for
removal . Rick Beaver expressed appreciation to Mr . Lee for
his efforts to avoid removal of the oak in question .
