Minutes of Meeting of April 20, 1992
The Board met for its regular meeting on Monday, April 20,
in the Commission Chambers of City Hall. Present were:
Carolyn Woods, Chairman Hope Van Nortwick
Jim Pelkey John Weldon, Jr.
Tom Frohne
Carl Walker, Coordinator George Worley, Designee
Guest : Jeffrey Zammit, Centex Builders representative
The Meeting was called to order at 7:30 pm.
A Tree Removal Application for Lot # 75, Selva Linkside, was
reviewed in the presence of Mr. Zammit. The plans call for
removal of a total of 10 trees, 9 of which are bay trees, the
other a pine. After discussion, a motion was made by Hope
Van Nortwick that the plans be accepted with an exception
that one 3" DBH hardwood tree be replaced in the front yard,
at a location of the owner' s discretion. Jim Pelkey seconded
the motion which passed unanimously.
There were no further applications for consideration.
Hope reported on the Oceanwalk architectural review meeting
which she attended on April 16 with Mr. Ebert and Mr. Mitch-
elson. The Oceanwalk representatives were unsure or confused
as to the policies and/or criteria of the Tree Board in their
determinations on tree removal applications. As a part of
the meeting, an on-site visit was made to two locations, one
of which had two large oak trees. Hope brought out that the
the Oceanwalk. Committee members were very thorough in their
preparation and research for reviewing applications.
It was suggested that a letter be sent, over Carolyn' s sig-
nature, to Mr. Mitchelson, requesting that the Tree Board be
added to their mailing list and that a summary or minutes of
their meetings be allowed the Board in cases of tree removal.
Carl will prepare and send the letter. Tom Frohne agreed to
attend the next meeting of the Oceanwalk Review Committee and
will contact them.
Following Hope' s report, there was general discussion by the
Board regarding the policies and procedures which they use in
the review of Tree Removal Applications. It was suggested
that a stricter approach be taken and/or other alternatives
be recommended to applicants in cases where trees are to be
removed when the Board feels it is not in the best interest.
The Board requested that a copy of the site plan, when pos-
sible, be included with their packet, to assist them in the
review of applications filed. George and Carl will comply.
A motion was made by Tom Frohne to accept the minutes of the
last meeting, as written. Hope Van Nortwick seconded; the
mot ion unanimously passed.
With no further business before the Board, the meeting was
adjourned at 8;20 pm.
