12-19-94 v TREE CONSERVATION BOARD
Minutes of December 19, 1994
The Board held its regular meeting on Monday, December 19, in
the City Commission Chambers. Present were:
Hope Van Nortwick, Chairman Mae Jones
Richard Beaver Tom Frohne
Staff: George Worley, Designee Carl Walker, Coordinator
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by Hope Van Nort-
wick, Chairman, in the City Commission Chambers.
The first application for review was for Lot #5, Block #147,
Section H. Frank Thrower, developer, was present. He ex-
plained
x-
plained that, in error, trees had been removed from this lot,
as well as on Lot #6. Mr. Thrower stated that in addition to
these 2 lots, 6 more adjacent lots were being developed. The
other property did not require Board approval due to lack of
trees on those lots. After discovering the unpermitted re-
moval, Mr. Thrower had contacted City Hall and he and George
Worley had gone on site in an effort to determine the number
and size of those trees removed on Lots #5 and #G.
Mr. Thrower' s proposal was to compensate for the removal by
planting replacement trees on the other lots on west 13th
Street. The Board discussed the proposal and also decided
that due to the circumstances, this application and the one
for Lot #5 could be handled jointly. Tom Frohne moved to
take action on the two applications as one unit. Mae Jones
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Tom Frohne then moved to approve the applications, as pre-
sented, with the except ion that 10 oak trees, each with a
4" DBH diameter, be replanted on any of Mr. Throwers' s lots
on West 13th Street in Section H. Rick Beaver seconded and
the mot ion unanimously passed.
Pamela Taylor, property owner, was present for discussion of
Lot #29, Unit #2, Oceanwalk. She pointed out that the house
had been designed in such a way that the 53" DBH oak tree
would not be removed. She also brought out that many other
large trees on the lot were not proposed for removal.
The application lists a total of 32 trees to be removed, 20
of which are palms. The remaining 12 hardwood trees total
157" DBH. It was pointed out that an additional 29" DBH
laurel oak near the middle of the lot was also shown on the
plans to be removed but was not included on the application.
A correction was made to include it in the total, changing
the hardwood tree DBH" sum to 186" on the lot to be removed.
Considerable discussion followed on the location of trees
proposed for removal, and on the possible placement of re-
placement trees. The Board felt that the 18" DBH laurel oak
located near the southern property line could be saved, re-
ducing the total number for removal to 168" DBH. There was
also discussion on possibly saving a 7" DBH magnolia near the
south property line.
After further discussion with the applicant, Hope Van Nort-
wick moved to approve the application with the exception that
the 18" DBH laurel oak at the south property line be saved
and that a minimum of 42" DBH hardwood trees be replaced on
the lot, each with a minimum DBH of 3", to be placed on the
property at locations of the owner' s discretion. Tom Frrhne
seconded and the motion passed by a unanimous vote.
Mary Collado, builder' s representative, was present for the
review of the application for Lot #3 and #4, Block #103, Sec-
tion H. The application calls for a total of 9 trees to be
removed, 5 pines and 4 oaks, with a total of 111" DBH. Mrs.
Collado advised there were many smaller ( less than 6" DBH)
trees left on the lot.
There was also an application from the same builder for Lot
#1, Block #103, Section H. It was discussed and it was cal-
culated to have a total of 78" DBH of pines and oaks proposed
for removal. After a short discussion, Tom Frohne moved to
approve the application, as presented, with the except ion
that a total of 28" DBH of hardwoods be replaced on the lot.
Rick Beaver seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
For Lot # 3 and # 4, a motion was made by Rick Beaver to
approve the application with the stipulation that a total of
37" DBH hardwood trees, with a minimum of 3" DBH each, be re-
placed on the lot. Mae Jones seconded and the motion passed
unanimously.
The final application was for Lot #10, Oceanbreeze. Chris
Kathe, acting as the owner' s agent, was present for the re-
view of the plans. During discussion, it was agreed that a
16" DBH oak to the rear of the lot could be saved by either

Rick also pointed out that in some cases, saving existing
trees is not as effective in the long term, as the planting
of new, replacement ones. Discussion followed and it was
agreed that Larry Figart, Urban Forester, would be asked to
present to the Board, at a regular meeting, an educational
program. Rick Beaver will contact Mr. Figart.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned
at 9:45 PM.
