The Board held its regular meeting on Monday November 16, 1998 at City Hall. Present were:
Mae Jones, Chairman Judy Jacobson
Rick Bell
Staff: George Worley, Community Development Director
The meeting was called to order at 7:40 PM.
3.A.1. Tree removal at Lot 682, Saltair Section 3: Ken Massey introduced himself to the Board and
explained he had revised his application. The Board determined that an additional 5" Bay tree was
available for use as on -site mitigation. The Board discussed the trees marked for removal and found 60 "
of hardwood to be removed. Required mitigation will be 30" of hardwood. Rick Bell moved to approve
application to reflect the 5" Bay and a 4" hickory which are to be protected on -site and with 21 " of maple
to be planted new. Judy Jacobson seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
4.A.1. Tree removal at 40 20th Street: Charles Davis introduced himself to the Board and described his
application as corrected. The Board discussed several options for saving additional trees with the
applicant as well as the possibility of noting smaller trees for on -site mitigation. The Board recommended
that the applicant revise the survey and mark on -site mitigation trees for consideration at the next meeting.
The applicant agreed and the item was placed on the December 7th Meeting agenda.
5. Reports & Announcements.
Mae Jones advised the Board that she had spoken to the Mayor about a workshop meeting to discuss the
historic palms throughout the Old Atlantic Beach neighborhood. No definite date was set at this time. In
a related matter, staff was requested to review past meeting minutes to find the name of a citizen who
volunteered information about palms in the early part of 1997.
Following a brief discussion of the mitigation issue at 470 Orchid Street, staff was directed to send a letter
to Mrs. Roberts, the homeowner, requesting her approval or disapproval of Pulte Homes payment into the
Tree Replacement Fund instead of planting on -site mitigation.
The Board once again discussed members absences. Mae Jones advised the Board that Dennis Sparks was
considering resigning from the Board because of his businesses growth. Staff was requested to help him if
needed. With the holiday season approaching it is especially important for members to alert staff or the
Chair of impending absences.
