The minutes of the last meeting of October 15 , 1990 were
reviewed and a motion made by John Weldon that the minu-
tes be accepted, as written. Carolyn Woods seconded the
motion which passed unanimously.
Coordinator Walker distributed copies of the draft form of
the memorandum from Dezmond Waters to Kim Leinbach, City
Manager on the subject of the Board Designee . After dis-
cussion, the Board agreed to several changes to the draft .
John Weldon moved that the Coordinator prepare the memo ,
with the changes , for Chairman Waters signature . Sandra
Sheppard seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
Chairman Waters asked that Coordinator Walker report on
his findings , as requested at the last meeting, on the pro-
cedures now in effect in the Building Department on the re-
cording of Board decisions and notations made on the Tree
removal applications . It was reported that this information
was not placed on computer records but was placed in the
file folder for that permit . It was agreed that this system
would make follow-up or enforcement of Board decisions
difficult . Several methods were suggested as to how to over-
come this problem. Coordinator Walker volunteered to again
go over the entire existing process currently in effect .
John Weldon offered to accompany him.
A discussion on the Tree Removal Permit application form,
previously designed by the Board, took place , with several
changes to the proposed form made . It was agreed that ,
following the modifications being made on the form, it
would be presented, by memo , to the City Manager, for im-
plementation. The changes agreed to will be made to the
form by John Weldon and a memo prepared for signature by
Dezmond Waters .
The final item under Old Business was the letter to the
owner of the property at 2335 Oceanwalk Dr . , S . advising
that the Certificate of Occupancy would not be issued un-
til the Board had been provided with a tree replacement
plan, as decided upon at the last meeting. Coordinator
Walker advised that , according to all records , Mr . David
Shields was the owner and that he had prepared the letter
to Mr . Shields . Chairman Waters signed the correspondence
and copies were given to the Board members . It was de-
cided to give a copy of the letter to the City Building
Inspector with a note , signed by Chairman Waters to this
effect .
There was one Tree Removal Application for Board consider-
ation. The address shown on the agenda was incorrect . Jim
Pelkey had been to the correct site location at Camelia
Street , Lots 4 & 5 ( Section H) . It was pointed out by
Pelkey that an 6X4W was made on the plans as submitted,
either on the Lot numbers , or the house plan on the Lot
indicated . Following discussion, the applications were
denied, with the following notations :
Lot 4 , Plan # 1040
1 . ) Tree survey inconsistant with site in-
spection made by Board member .
2 . ) All existing trees not noted on site plan .
