The first item of business was consideration of the tree re-

traffic congestion. The majority of the trees proposed for
removal are in the driveway area.
The application calls for removal of 7 pine trees and 3 oaks .

ing discussion, Mr. Dunlap was receptive to replacing three
3" DBH oak trees on the property.

addition that 3 oaks , with a minimum of 3" DBH each, be re-
placed on the Mayport Road side of the property. Mae Jones
seconded and the motion carried by a unanimous vote .

with Tiffany by the Sea was discussed. George Worley will
contact Safa Mansouri to determine when the planting is to
begin. He also will make arrangements for a utility locate to
be made . Jim Pelkey volunteered to again mark the site for
placement of the trees .

hael Grossberg , a resident of Oceanbreeze Drive . An antenna/
satellite dish has been installed on adjacent vacant property
