2. Recognition of visitors:Cliff Gray of Pulte Homes,Inc. addressed the Board about the tree mitigation at 470
Orchid Street. Mr. Gray explained to the Board that he felt there was a mis-communication between Pulte
Homes and the City about the required mitigation at 470 Orchid Street. He stated that he believed that Pulte had
a choice of on-site mitigation or payment into the Tree Fund. He stated that Pulte Homes and the property
owner were not able to agree on when or where to plant on-site mitigation. Mr. Gray provided photographs of
the property to the Board. After additional discussion Judy Jacobson moved to accept payment into the fund if
staff can contact the property owner and obtain her acceptance. Rick Bell seconded and the motion was
approved.
4.A.1. Tree removal at Lot 682, Saltair Section 3:Ken Massey introduced himself to the Board and explained
• his application. Rick Bell advised the applicant and the Board that he was certain that all of the trees had been
measured at their base rather than at the 4.5 feet specified in the ordinance. The trees on-site are,therefore,
significantly smaller than shown on the survey. It was also noted that several trees were marked on-site but not
shown on the survey. The Board also explained to Mr.Massey that on-site mitigation was possible. After
further discussion the Board recommended that Mr. Massey have the lot surveyed again and resubmit at the next
meeting. The applicant agreed and withdrew his application.
4.A.2. Tree removal at Lot 22, Selva Marina Unit 12-C:Jim Pelkey introduced himself to the Board and
described his application. The Board again found several discrepancies between the site and the survey. At the
request of the Board the applicant withdrew his application to revise the survey and resubmit at the next meeting.
