02-15-93 v TREE CONSERVATION BOARD
Minutes of February 15, 1993
The Board met for its regular meeting on Monday, February 15,
in the Commission Chambers of City Hall. Present were:
Carolyn Woods, Chairman Thomas Frohne
Jim Pelkey John Weldon, Jr.
Hope Van Nortwick
Staff: Carl Walker, Coordinator
Guests: Greg Christovich, Safa Mansouri
The meeting was called to order by Carolyn Woods at 7:35 pm.
The first application for consideration was for tree removal
on Selva Marina Country Club property. Mr. Christovich, Gen-
eral Manager, explained that a shortage of parking area ex-
sisted, due to increased business. The parking lot renova-
tion
enova-
tion requires removal of 23 palm trees, and 1 oak, 40" DBH.
George Worley has verified that the oak tree is dead.
Considerable discussion followed, including on the proposed
parking area which will not be constructed at this time. Mr.
Christovich agreed to seek services of an environmental engi-
neer to provide a study of that area, with options to bring
before the Board for consideration at a subsequent meeting.
Hope Van Nartwick moved to approve the application, as pre-
sented, with the exception of not permitting removal of a 30"
oak tree, that the proposed island be extended to the engi-
neered boundary line of the property and that a 14" DBH oak
on the eastern boundary be protected. In addition, replace-
ment trees are to be added, as noted on the plans.
Jim Pelkey seconded, and discussion took place as to the re-
placement trees. It was agreed that they should consist of
6 palms, 10' -1`' in height, 2 hardwoods of 3" DBH, and 2 - 5
various other species, of 2"-3" DBH. The motion passed by
a unanimously vote, and the plans were noted accordingly as
to the replacement tree requirements.
Mr. Mansouri was present to discuss the tree removal on lot
# 24 at "Tiffany by the Sea". Following questions to Mr.
Mansouri from the Board, a motion was made by John Weldon
to accept the plans, as presented. Jim Pelkey seconded and
discussion followed. It was pointed out that the building
footprint was not marked on the lot and that the plan sub-
mitted made it difficult to determine which trees were to
be removed. After verification was made of the trees to re-
main and to be removed, the motion carried unanimously.
In other business, a discussion took place regarding the
letter of February 10 from the Mayor to the Board. Tom
Frohne distributed copies of his response of February 15.
It was again brought up that failure of uniformity in the
tagging of trees and lack of the building footprint being
identified on the property created a problem to the Board
for their on-site visits to the lots. Carl will check with
George Worley to ensure that these instructions are being
given the applicants and that this information is shown on
the applications.
The minutes were read with Tom Frohne moving to accept them
as written. Jim Pelkey seconded; the motion unanimously
passed.
With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:30 pm.1Resp tfully submitted,
