The Board held its regular meeting on Monday , November 6 , in
the City Commission Chambers . Present were :

Staff : George Worley, Designee Carl Walker, Coordinator
The meeting was called to order at 7 : 35 PM by Hope Van Nort-
wick , Chairman .
No representative was present for discussion on the applica-
tions for removal on Lot # 7 and # 9 , Block # 5 , Subdivision
"A" (4th street) . The Board deferred action on the two ap-
plications until later in the meeting .
Mr . Harry Trevett of Trevett Homes , Inc. was present for the
reconsideration of the tree removal application for Lot # 24 ,
Ocean Grove . Mr . & Mrs . Larry Fyffe , property owners , were
also in attendance . Mr . Trevett and Mr . Fyffe advised that
the placement of the house on the lot had been changed twice
in order to save trees to the front of the property . Also,
the walkway to the front porch had been redesigned so that
an additional oak tree could be saved .
It was noted by the Board that almost all of the trees were
located in the front of the lot and only 2 trees with 6" DBH
or more were in the rear of the property. Discussion took
place on shifting the house further to the rear of the lot ,
but Mr . Fyffe pointed out that the trees proposed for removal
lean in a westward direction . He also stated that decking was
planned in the rear of the lot and possibly a pool installed
there at a future date .
Rick Beaver questioned the landscape plans and Mr . Fyffe re-
sponded that he intended to include the planting of a hard-
wood tree in the front, west of the driveway .
Jim Pelkey moved to accept the plans as submitted , if the
owner was willing to plant one 3" DBH oak on the northeast
corner of the lot . Rick Beaver seconded and the motion pas-
sed by a 2-1 vote (Van Nortwick against ) .
The applications for Lots # 7 and # 9 were reviewed although
there was still no representative present. Jim Pelkey had
discussed the proposed removal/relocations with the builder.
On Lot # 7 , the 9 palm trees are to be relocated elsewhere on
the lot , as is a sycamore tree . On Lot # 9 , the 5 palm trees
listed are also to be replanted on the property.
After discussion, Rick Beaver moved to accept both applica-
tions , with the stipulation that one 3" DBH hardwood tree is
to be planted on each of the two lots. Jim Pelkey seconded
and the motion passed by a 2-1 vote (Van Nortwick against ) .
Hope advised that the proposed tree ordinance amendment is to
be placed on the agenda for first reading at the November 13
Commission meeting . The public hearing is to be scheduled for
the following Commission meeting of November 27 . Hope asked
the Board members to attend the two meetings , if possible.
If there is any change to this tentative schedule , members
will be notified.
Rick Beaver brought up the tree removal by the City on pro-
perty adjacent to the Donner Road extension. Carl advised
that only dead pine trees had been removed. Rick also men-
tioned an area of trees which have been flagged, north of
Selva Marina Drive . George explained that the trees were not
marked for removal but for surveying purposes as a waterline
is proposed for placement in that location.
George also advised that the application for tree removal at
Donner Park will be on the agenda for the next Board meeting .
Construction of the Community Center will not begin until
following the Board meeting of November 20 .
Hope Van Nortwick moved to approve the minutes of the last
