The first Tree Removal Application for Board review was for

with the exception that all trees outside the footprint be
retained to the maximum possible, including more than one

easement of the property. Jim Pelkey seconded and the motion
passed 4-1 ( John Weldon against) .

Sheppard moved to accept the application, but in place of the
14" oak, 3 guaranteed, 3" oaks be planted, 2 in the front of
the lot, 1 in the back; or, to relocate a 8" and a 10" oak,
1 in front, 1 in back, on a guaranteed basis. Dezrnond Waters
seconded; the motion was unanimously passed.
Lot #34, Selva Linkside was considered with the builder, Mr.
Richards, present. After review and discussion of the plans,
it was moved by John Weldon to accept the application, as

palms as specified on the plans, be saved. The motion was
seconded by Dezmond Waters and passed unanimously.
No representative was present to discuss the plans for Lot
#13 or Lot #14, Block 33, Camelia Street. On Lot #13, John
Weldon moved to accept the plan, amended to: the northern
concrete drive shifted to the south to save an 18" oak and 2-
12"oaks, as marked on the plans. Additionally, 3-8" oaks are
- 2 -
to be saved, rather than removed, as indicated on the plans.

vacancy created by the resignation of Dezmond Waters. Mr.
Frohne was asked to join the Board at its next meeting of •
November 4 even though he appointment will not become effec-
tive until November 5.
George Worley advised that Mr. Mansouri, representative of
Tiffany by the Sea, had not submitted the signed letter to
the Board which had been redrafted at the last meeting. As
a result, no Board action was necessary.
The minutes of the last meeting were reviewed. Sandra Shep-
pard corrected the name of Mr. Aldrich from Jon to George
(See page 3, paragraph 2) . The correction was made and a
motion made by John Weldon to accept the minutes with the
change as noted by Sandra Sheppard. Jim Pelkey seconded and
