09-09-93 v TREE CONSERVATION BOARD
Minutes of September 9, 1993
The Board held its regular meeting on Thursday, September 9,
in the City Commission Chambers. Present were:
Carolyn Woods, Chairman Tori Frohne
Jim Pelkey Hope Van Nortwick
Staff: Carl Walker, Coordinator
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by Carolyn Woods.
The Board reviewed the application for property described as
Lot # 66, Unit # 1, Oceanwalk. Chuck Hardman, builder, was
present, as was the property owner, Ray Espinosa. The appli-
cation lists a total of seven (7) oaks to be removed, ranging
in size from 6" DBH to 18 " DBH. It was pointed out that se-
veral of these were diseased or otherwise in poor condition.
This was confirmed by Board members who had been on site. In
addition, several palm trees, basically within the footprint
of the house and/or driveway were to be removed.
The builder also pointed out that the low elevation of the
lot required a considerable amount of fill to be added on
the property. Some discussion took place regarding saving
the 18" DBH oak to the front of the property, dependant upon
its condition.
Hope Van Nortwick moved to accept the application and plans,
as submitted, with the exception that the 18" DBH oak remain
on the lot. Tom Frohne seconded and the motion unanimously
carried. Mr. Hardman was advised that should it be neces-
sary to remove that tree, he would have to obtain permission
to do so.
The application for Lot # , Beachside Replat, was considered
by the Board in the presence of Jerry Huey, property owner.
The ten (10) palm trees proposed for removal are within the
house footprint. With little discussion, a motion was made
by Jim Pelkey to accept the plans, as presented. Hope Van
Nortwick seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The Board was reminded that the next regular meeting was set
for Monday, September 20, at which time Bob Porter with Cen-
tex homes was scheduled to appear with the revised tree sur-
vey for Selva Linkside, Phase 2, Unit 2.
It was asked if the application had been resubmitted for the
Dicker property in Oceanwalk on which no action had been
taken at the last meeting due to insufficient documentation.
Carl reported that to his knowledge, it had not been refiled.
Minutes of the last meeting were reviewed and a motion made
by Hope Van Nortwick to accept them, as written. Tom Frohne
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned
at 8:05 PM.

in the City Commission Chambers. Present were:
Carolyn Woods, Chairman Tom Frohne
John Weldon, Jr. Hope Van Nortwick
Staff: George Worley, Board Designee
Carl Walker, Coordinator
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by Carolyn Woods.
The Board reviewed the application for property described as
Lot # 10, Unit # 4, Oceanwalk. Both the property owner, Joe
Abrass, and the builder, John Andresen were present for the
Board' s discussion. It was pointed out that there were
several large oak trees near the footprint of the house that
might be endangered if adequate precautions were not taken to
protect them during construction.
Hope Van Nortwick moved to accept the plans, as presented,
with a notation that special attention be given to preserving
2 specimen oaks, 30" and 35" DBH, on the north side of the
property, and 2 oaks, with and 25" DBH, located on the
western side of the lot. John Weldon seconded the motion and
it unanimously passed.
Ruth Dicker, property owner of Lot # 48, Unit # 1, Oceanwalk,
was present for the review of the application for that pro-
perty. It was pointed out that no trees were marked on the
lot, and that no tree survey was furnished with the appli-
cat ion. The Board agreed that no act ion could be taken due
to lack of the required documentation.
There were no other applications for Board consideration. It
was announced that Bob Porter with Centex had submitted the
revised plans for Phase 2, Unit # 2, of Selva Linkside and
that he would be available, after August 23, to meet with the
Board for review of the application and revised plans.

meeting in view of the Labor Day holiday. It was agreed to
hold the meeting on Thursday, September 9. It was also de-
cided to meet to meet with Mr. Porter with Centex at the
following meeting of September 20.
Hope Van Nortwick asked that other members, if possible, pro-
vide photographs or videos of tree removals as she was making
a collection of photographic data of these incidents within
the City.
Minutes of the last meeting were reviewed and a motion made
by Tom Frohne to accept them as written. Hope Van Nortwick
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned
