TREE CONSERVATION BOARD
Minutes of December 6, 1993
The Board held its regular meeting on Monday, December 6,
in the City Commission Chambers. Present were:
Carolyn Woods, Chairman Hope Van Nortwick
Jim Pelkey Torn Frohne
John Weldon, Jr.
Staff: George Worley, Designee Carl Walker, Coordinator
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM by Carolyn Woods.
The Board reviewed the application submitted by Dean Russell
Construction for Lots # 1 & # 2, Block 107, Sec. H. Rusty
Gaulding, representing the builder, was present. After a
brief discussion, John Weldon moved to accept the proposal,
as presented, for Lots # 1 and # S. Torn Frohne seconded and
the motion passed unanimously.
The application for lots # 3 & # 4, Block 107, Sec. H, also
submitted by Dean Russell Construction, was reviewed next by
the Board. Jim Pelkey pointed out that he found additional
pine trees on Lot # 4. The application on that lot shows a
total of 3 trees for removal and Jim stated that 3 more were
on the property, all pines, approximately 14", 9" and B" in
DBH, located to the front of the lot. The plans were changed
to reflect the addition.
After further discussion, it was moved by John Weldon to
accept the application for Lots # 3 & # 4, as proposed, with
the noted changes shown on Lot # 4. Jim Pelkey seconded; the
motion passed unanimously.
Scott McClain, representing the builder, introduced himself
to the Board for review of the plans for Lot # 70, Selva
Norte, Unit # 2. The application reflects removal of a total
of 9 trees and it was pointed out that there are 2 additional
palm trees to be removed, not listed on the application. The
Board was concerned with the size of the hardwood trees pro-
proposed to be removed which total B 13" DBH. The plans do
not call for any replacement trees to be added.
John Weldon suggested that 1/3 of the DBH inches to be re-
moved, approximately 71", be replanted or replaced, either on
the lot or given to the City for planting on City property.
Mr. McClain brought out that some of the trees to be removed
were not in a healthy condition and it was agreed that the
required replacement could be reduced to approximately 40".
After further discussion, John Weldon moved to approve the
application with the stipulation that any combination of 3"
or 4" DBH hardwood trees to total 40" be replaced on the lot
or on City property. The motion was seconded by Jim Pelkey
and passed by a vote of 3 - 1 (T. Frohne against) and 1 ab-
stention (H. Van Nortwick) .
Mrs. Laura Hoffman appeared before the Board to appeal the
decision made at the last meeting for Lot # 68, Unit # 1,
Oceanwa l k. Mrs. Hoffman requested that removal be permitted
of the scrub oaks on the eastern border of the lot. She felt
that the oaks were dead, or- dying, although the Board members
felt that the trees needed only trimming. If approval was
granted for their removal, Mrs. Hoffman had no definite plan
for replacement trees.
Following discussion, Hope Vary Nortwick moved to deny the
appeal for removal of additional trees. Torn Frohne seconded.
Planting of replacement trees was again brought up and Mrs.
Hoffman was unwilling to replace the 9 trees if they were
approved for removal. The motion passed by a vote of 5-1
(J. Pelkey opposed) .
There was no representative present for discussion on the
application for Lots # 1 through # 5, Block # 47, Sec. H.
After review of the plans and application, Hope Van Nortwick
moved to deny the application, as presented. John Weldon
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
There were no further applications for consideration. Tom
Frohne expressed appreciation to John Weldon for his years
of service as a Board member
In view of John Weldon' s resignation from the Board, Jim

as presented. Torn Frohne seconded and the motion passed by
a unanimous vote.
