A regular meeting of the Tree Conservation Board was held Monday,August 2, 1999, in the City Hall
Commission Chambers. Present were Mae Jones, Chairperson, Richard Bell, Judith Jacobson, Camille

3.A.Old Business/Tree Removal Applications
1. 2400 Seminole Road: Mayor Suzanne Shaughnessy requested that the Tree Conservation Board
revisit the tree removal application for 2400 Seminole Road. The Tree Conservation Board members
were given verbatim transcripts of the pertinent portions of the City Commission meetings of July
12, 1999,and July 26, 1999. Mr. McDaniel was notified by staff member Susan Dunham that this
item would be on the agenda but Mr. McDaniel was not present at the meeting.
After lengthy discussion, Richard Bell moved to reconsider the action taken by the Tree Conservation
Board on July 19, 1999,regarding 2400 Seminole Road. Camille Hunter seconded. By unanimous
vote,the motion failed.
Pete Dowling, visitor,requested permission to speak to the Tree Conservation Board. Mr.Dowling
voiced his concern that there was no public input allowed on this matter. Also, in a situation where
trees are being removed from public property,the applicant should be required to replant the trees
• back on the original site. Mr. Dowling further stated that there was a strong possibility that the power
lines could be raised,thus allowing Mr. McDaniel to replant the hardwoods.
It was determined that the Tree Conservation Board would draft recommendations to the Mayor and
to the City Commissioners on procedures for tree removal on public property. In addition,this memo
would include the Tree Board's reasons for their decision regarding the tree removal application for
2400 Seminole Road. The Tree Conservation Board discussed points to be addressed and requested
staff member Susan Dunham to prepare a draft for their review. To be able to review the draft memo
prior to the next City Commission meeting,the Board decided to hold a special called meeting on
Thursday,August 5, 1999,at 7:00 p.m.
