calls for 58 trees to be removed and 28 trees to remain.

have a 95% chance of survival . Carolyn Woods moved that the
plans be accepted with the noted provisions ; the motion
was seconded by Sandra Sheppard and passed unanimously.
Prior to review and/or discussion of the plans for an addi-
tion ( 2 car garage) to an existing residence , owner occupied
at 1898 Sea Oats Drive , it was pointed out that under the
existing Ordinance , such property was exempt from the Ordin-
ance and therefore the Board had no jurisdiction. This was
acknowledged by the Board. As a result , no action was taken

on this application, as well as 2 other applications with
locations of 137 Tenth Street and 1835 Hickory Lane .
The tree removal at 2335 Oceanwalk Dr . , W. was discussed.
Carolyn Woods moved that approval be granted to remove the
third tree located in the back of the property with the ex-
ception that the Certificate of Occupancy and final permit-
ting be withheld pending approval of the tree replacement
plan as stipulated at the last Board meeting of September
17 ; and further , that the replacement trees first be planted.
Jim Pelkey seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
Plans for the addition to the Community Presbyterian Church
at 150 Sherry Drive were reviewed. It was decided that no
action be taken until such time as the tree removal appli-
cation was submitted .
The application for the City Lift Station for Atlantic
Beach with a location of Camelli.a and 14th ( Section H) could
not be considered by the Board since no tree survey was in-
cluded with the plans . The Board decided that if no trees
are to be removed for the construction, Board approval would
not be required.
With no further applications for consideration, Chairman
Waters opened for discussion the subject of the Board desig-
nee . Following discussion, it was decided that no designee
be appointed at this time and that Don Ford, Building In-
spector be asked, in his regular duties and on site inspect-
ions to make the Board aware of violations .
