Minutes of Meeting of June 15, 1992
The Board met for its regular meeting on Monday, June 15,
in the Commission Chambers, City Hall. Present were:
Carolyn Woods, Chairman John Weldon, Jr.
Jim Pelkey Hope Van Nortwick
Thomas Frohne
George Worley, Designee Carl Walker, Coordinator
Guests: David Willis, Jeffrey Zammit, Jerome Sternberg
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 pm by Carolyn Woods,
Chairman.
The first application for consideration was for property de-
scribed as Lot # 82, Selva Norte, Unit # 2. Mr. Willis, the
developer, was present to discuss the plans/application with
the Board. Discussion took place regarding moving the house
on the property and/or altering the location or shape of the
proposed swimming pool in order to preserve a 16" tree, de-
scribed as a Florida elm.
Tom Frohne made a motion to accept the plans as submitted,
with the exception of saving tree # 52 as shown on the tree
survey ( a 16" Fla. elm) , with some latitude toward saving
tree # 17, tree # 20 and tree # 23 ( all palms) . John Weldon
seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Jeffrey Zammit of Centex Builders was present for the review
of the next four applications, all with locations in Selva
Linkside. Mr. Zammit explained the reasons why it was nec-
essary to "de-muck" and refill Lots # 8 and # 9 because of
their low elevations. Mr. Sternberg, owner of a residence
on Lot # 10, also commented as to this condition.
Following discussion, John Weldon moved to accept the pro-
posal on Lot # 8 as presented, with the exception that a
13" live oak in the northwest portion of the property be
saved and that the exception would not affect the replace-
ment trees shown on the application. The motion was seconded
by Hope Van Nortwick and unanimously passed. John Weldon made
a subsequent motion to accept the plans for Lot # 9, as pre-
sented. Torn Frohne seconded; the motion unanimously passed.
After discussion of plans for Lot # 25, Hope Van Nortwick
moved to accept the proposal with the exception that 2 hard-
wood trees with a minimum of a 3" diameter each, be replaced
on the lot, at locations of the owner' s discretion. There
was no second and Hope amended the motion changing only the
diameter of the replacement trees from 3" to 4". Tom Frohne
seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The application for Lot # 51, Selva Linkside, was reviewed
and the Board expressed concern with the preservation of a
8" wild cherry tree in the back of the lot. After it was
determined that the footprint of the house could not be moved
without losing additional trees, John Weldon moved to accept
the proposal as submitted with the exception that the de-
veloper be required to plant 4 hardwood trees each with a 4"
diameter, 3 of which may be placed on the lot at locations of
the owner' s discretion, and 1 planted to the west of the
dwelling. Hope Van Nortwick seconded and the motion passed
by a unanimously vote.
Under old business. John Weldon reported that he not yet had
the opportunity to review the proposed amendment to the Tree
Ordinance but would make an effort to accomplish this prior
to the next meeting.
Members were reminded that this month has five Mondays so the
next meeting will be held in three weeks, or July 6.
After reviewing the minutes of the last meeting, John Weldon
moved to accept them, as written. Tom Frohne seconded and
the motion unanimously passed.
There was no further business and Carolyn Woods adjourned the
meeting at 8:45 pm.
