Minutes of Meeting of March 16, 1992
The Board met for its regular meeting on Monday, March 16,
in the Commission Chambers of City Hall. Present were:
Carolyn Woods, Chairman Hope Van Nortwick
Tom Frohne John Weldon, Jr.
Jim Pelkey
Carl Walker, Coordinator George Worley, Designee
Guests: Dr. & Mrs. William Lynagh, Dave Willis
The Meeting was called to order at 7:35 pm.
The first application was for tree removal on property at Lot
# 16, Unit # 1, Oceanwalk. Dr. & Mrs. Lynagh, prospective
owners, and Mr. Willis, builder, were present. Discussion
took place, largely concerning a 36" oak located near the
mid-point of the property which was to be removed as well as
21 palms and 1 magnolia. Dr. Lynagh brought up that the plans
had been presented to the Oceanwalk Home Owners Assoc. on two
occasions or more due to some question on the placement of
the house on the lot.
Considerable discussion took place and options which would
allow the tree to remain were pointed out, including a re-
design of the house plan. The Board and the potential owners
could riot reach an agreement. Hope Van Nortwick moved that
the application be denied. Tom Frohne seconded and discus-
sion again took place.
The vote was called and the motion was defeated 2-3 (Jim
Pelkey, John Weldon, Carolyn Woods, against ) . John Weldon
moved that the plans be approved with the addition of 6 - 4"
DEH hardwood trees to be planted as replacements and that a l l
efforts be made to save remaining trees on the lot. The mot-
ion was seconded by Jim Pelkey and passed unanimously.
Jim Pelkey, as builder, declared a conflict on interest on
the next application for property at Lot #19, Unit #3, Ocean-
walk. The plans for that property call for removal of 12
total trees (4 palms, 6 oaks, and 2 magnolia trees) . Discus-
sion
iscus-
sion took place, and Mr. Pe l key agreed to replace 5-4" trees.
John Weldon made a motion to approve the plans with the addi-
tion of 5-4" hardwood trees to be replaced, on locations of
the property of the owner' s choice. Tom Frohne seconded; the
motion unanimously passed.
George Worley advised the Board that Don Wolfson' s request to
appear had been withdrawn from the agenda, as well as the
request by the owner to again review the plans for Lot #3,
Unit #3, Oceanwalk.
George reported his findings of the violation of the condit-
ions of the application for Lot # 71, Selva Linkside. No re-
placement trees had been added in the front yard, as required
by the approval of the Board. John Weldon moved to assess
the owner with a fine of $500. 00 for non-compliance, al lowing
30 days to comply. Tom Frohne seconded; the motion passed
unanimously. George will handle notification to the owner.
In other business, the Board discussed the following; chang-
ing the cut-off date on applications to allow more time for
the Board to make on-site property inspections; uniformity in
the marking of trees to be removed; and notification to in-
terested parties of applications to be considered at Board
meetings.
After review of the Minutes of the last meeting, Tom Frohne
moved to accept them, as written. The motion passed, fol-
lowing a second made by Hope Van Nortwick.
With no further business before the Board, the meeting was
adjourned by Carolyn at 9:30 pm.
