Minutes of meeting of June 2 , 1997
The Board held its regular meeting on Monday, June 2 , in the
Conference Room of City Hall . Present were :
Hope Van Nortwick, Chairperson Mae Jones
Rick Beaver Rick Bell
Staff: Carl Walker, Board Coordinator
Chairperson Hope Van Nortwick called the meeting to order at
7 : 30 PM. The only application for consideration was for pro-
perty described as Lot # 6 , Block # 149 , Section H . Robert
Isaac , the owner/developer, introduced himself to the Board.
The Board members complimented the applicant on the proper
marking of the trees, on site, as well as the preparation of
the tree survey.
Mr. Issac verified the DBH size of 2 oaks in the north rear
of the lot . He also explained that the trees at the front
require removal due to the 2 . 8 'elevation change . Discussion
followed between the Board and the applicant on saving 2-6"
DBH oaks in the front of the lot , and a 8" DBH oak at the
corner. By preserving these trees , the mitigation require-
ments will be considerably reduced. Also, a 4" DBH oak on
the north side of the lot could be saved as mitigation.
Mr. Isaac was agreeable to altering the plans in order to
save the trees noted above and the changes were so marked on
the original survey. Hope Van Nortwick explained the process
should it became necessary to remove any of these trees as
a result of construction.
Rick Beaver moved to accept the application, with adjustments
that the 4" DBH oak on the north side of the lot , the 2 - 6"
DBH oaks at the front of the lot, and the 8" DBH oak at the
front corner, will not be removed, and that one 4" DBH oak be
replanted, at a location of the owners ' discretion, on site.
Rick Bell seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Mae Jones announced that she and Herschel Shepard will meet
with the Beaches Historical Society on Thursday, June 5 . She
will report the results at the next regular meeting .
