in the Conference Room, City Hall. In attendance were:
Carolyn Woods, Chairman John Weldon, Jr.
Dezmond Waters Sandra Sheppard
Jim Pelkey
George Worley, Designee
Carl Walker, Coordinator
Visitors: Frank Thrower, Frank Gamel, Safa Mansouri
The meeting was called to order by Carolyn Woods at 7:30 pm.
The first Tree Removal Application before the Board was for property at
Lot #13, Unit 2, Oceangrove. The builder, Frank Thrower,was present for
discussion with the Board. Following review of the plans, a motion was
made by Dezmond Waters that the plans be approved, providing that the ease-
ment flora and trees will be left in their natural state, with barricades,
during construction. The motion was seconded by Sandra Sheppard and passed
unanimously.
The application for removal on Lot #81, Unit 1, Oceanwalk, was reviewed
with Frank Gamel, builder. After discussion, it was moved by John Weldon
that the plans be accepted, as submitted. Dezmond Waters seconded and
the motion unanimously passed.
Mr. Safa Mansouri, Manager of the Tiffany by the Sea project, asked to be
recognized by the Board. Mr. Mansouri expressed the urgency on behalf of
the owners of the property, in beginning construction of five (5) homes
prior to the proposed relocation of the Coastal Construction Set Back line.
There are a total of approximately 25 trees, all palms, which will require
removal, according to Mr. Mansouri. He also advised that these trees would
be relocated elsewhere on the property.
Mr. Mansouri requested that George Worley, as designee, be granted Board
authorization to approve the plans and tree removal application to be sub-
mitted within the next two days, so that construction could begin prior to
waiting until the next regular meeting of the Board. The consensus of the
Board members was that Mr. Mansouri return with the proper applications and
plans in two weeks for the next regular meeting so that consideration could
be given in the normal process. It was pointed out, however, that the next
scheduled Board meeting would not be until October 7 due to the month of
September having 5 Mondays. Considerable discussion ensued which included
a recommendation by John Weldon that a clear committment by the property
owners to the Tree Board for a long term planting and landscaping plan
would be desirable.
After discussion with Mr. Mansouri, a motion was made by John Weldon that
a special meeting of the Board be called within a week or ten days for the
purpose of further review of the proposed Tree Removal Applications for
the Tiffany by the Sea properties. The motion was seconded by Jim Pelkey.
It passed unanimously and in subsequent discussion, it was agreed to meet
with Mr. Mansouri on Monday, September 23 at 7:30 pm in the Conference Room,
City Hall.
Replacement tree plantings for property at 1605 Beach Avenue which had been
required by the Board when the Tree Removal Application was approved was
brought up and the Board asked George Worley to check the property for com-
pliance. Carl Walker will furnish George with the Minutes of the meeting
which took place when the Board approved the application with the stipulat-
ion of the planting of the replacement trees.
George reported that there were no new developments at Lot #35, Selva Link-
side, pertaining to replacement of trees and that he would continue to monitor
the site until such time as the Certificate of Occupancy was to be issued.
The Minutes of the last meeting were reviewed and it was moved by John Weldon
that the y be accepted, as written. Jim Pelkey seconded; the motion passed
unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned by Carolyn Woods at 8: 50 pm.
