TREE CONSERVATION BOARD
Minutes of January 3, 1994
The Board held its regular meeting on Monday, January 3, 1994
in the City Commission Chambers. Present were:
Carolyn Woods, Chairman Hope Van Nortwick
Jim Pelkey Torn Frohne
Staff: George Worley, Designee Carl Walker, Coordinator
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by Carolyn Woods,
Chairman.
The only tree removal application submitted as new business
was for Lot # 22, Unit # 4, Oceanwalk. Mr. Michael Schmidt,
owner, was present for the review by the Board and to answer
any questions. Mr. Schmidt pointed out that of the 56 trees
on the property with DHH' s of 6" or greater, 26 were proposed
for removal ; 14 of the 26 are palm trees; the remaining 12
oak and bay trees are located within the house and/or drive-
way footprint.
Following discussion, Jim Pelkey moved to accept the plans,
as presented. The motion was seconded by Tom Frohne and
unanimously carried.
Under old business, the Board reviewed the revised appli-
cat ion submitted by Mr. James Edmonds, owner-developer, for
property at the southwest corner of Mayport Road and 12th
Street, the proposed site for a "Checker' s" restaurant.
Mr. Edmonds explained that, basically, the intended plan was
to "clear-cut" the property of existing trees, mostly pines,
replacing them with a variety of trees as shown on the land-
scape plan for the two lots. It was calculated that approxi-
mately
pproxi-
mately 600" DBH, at a minimum, were proposed for removal. The
plans call for approximately 150" DBH in replacement trees.
Considerable discussion took place regarding the proposal and
the quantity and type of trees to be replaced. A motion was
made by Hope Van Nortwick to accept the plans with the pro-
vision that the owner of the property add 50" DBH of hardwood
trees on the site in addition to the trees shown as replace-
ments on the landscape plans and to upgrade the trees shown
on the existing plans to a minimum of 4" DBH. Jim Pelkey
seconded the motion and, during further discussion, placement
of the trees on the property was discussed with Mr. Edmonds.
The motion was voted upon and carried unanimously. A revised
landscape plan to reflect the changes and/or additions will
be prepared and presented to the Board.
There were no further applications for review. It was re-
ported that appointment of a replacement to fill the existing
Board vacancy was on the agenda for the next City Comm issic un
meeting to be held on Monday, January 10.
Tom Frohne moved to accept the minutes of the last meeting,
as read. Hope Van Nortwick seconded and the motion passed
unanimously.
With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8: 0 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Pelkey
Secretary
