03-01-93 v TREE CONSERVATION BOARD Minutes of March 1, 1993 The Board met for its regular meeting on Monday, March 1, in the Commission Chambers of City Hall. Present were: Hope Van Nortwick Thomas Frohne Jim Pelkey John Weldon, Jr. Staff: George Worley, Designee Carl Walker, Coordinator Guests: Safa Mansouri, Peter Coalson, Mark Carroll The meeting was called to order at 7:35 pm by John Weldon, acting as Chairman in the absence of Carolyn Woods. The first application for consideration was for tree removal on Lot # 18, Tiffany by the Sea. Safa Mansouri was present to represent the property owner. It was mentioned that there was still some confusion as to the marking of trees on site. It was agreed that the 25" triple oak proposed for removal was dead, and some discussion took place regarding the trees on the lot perimeter. Tom Frohne made a motion to accept the plan as proposed and the motion was seconded by Jim Pelkey. It passed by a unani- mous vote. Mr. Coalson, builder, and Mr. Carroll, property owner, were in attendance for consideration of tree removal at Lot # 7, Oceanwalk, Unit # 3. The trees, however, had already been removed 2 - 3 weeks ago, as the builder advised he was not aware of the Atlantic Beach Tree Ordinance and was under the impression that once the Oceanwalk ARC approved the plans, no other permitting was necessary prior to clearing the lot. While the Board members agreed that the removal was unintentional, they also agreed that a penalty for the Ordinance violation should be accessed. After discussion, a motion was made by Torn Frohne that ap- proval be given the removal, with the provision that five (5) hardwood trees with not less than 3" DBH each, be planted on City property, at a location at the discretion of Mr. Worley. In old business, the letter from Greg Christovich, General Manager of Selva Marina Country Club, was reviewed. It was agreed that the contents were in compliance with the request made by the Board at the last Board meeting. Jim Pelkey moved to accept the letter as written. Tom Frohne seconded and the motion unanimously passed. George Worley distributed a copy of the revision to the re- moval application form which includes the tree markings on the property as requested by the Board. The minutes were read and a motion made by Hope Van Nortwick to accept them as written; Tom Frohne seconded and the motion carried unanimously. With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:20 pm. Respe fully submitted, Joh e l don, Jr. Secre ary - 2 -
