le BEACH PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION COMMITTEE REPORT <br />Commissioner Wodtke requested authorization for members of <br />his Committee to attend a Cabinet meeting in Tallahassee on <br />February 19, 1985. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board authorized <br />out -of -County travel for Commissioner Wodtke, <br />appropriate staff, and members of the Beach <br />Preservation and Restoration Committee to attend <br />a Cabinet meeting in Tallahassee on February 19, 1985. <br />/DISCUSSION RE TREE PROTECTION ORDINANCE <br />Vice Chairman Scurlock reported that Chairman Lyons felt it <br />is important that the County take a stand on how vigorously staff <br />is to enforce the tree ordinance, as recently there have been <br />several violations where developers have gone ahead and removed <br />protected trees. <br />Administrator Wright suggested that Director Keating <br />summarize two of the cases and advise where we stand on the <br />others. <br />Director Keating explained that there was a substantial <br />amount of clearing done on an industrial site down on Old Dixie <br />and a number of protected trees were removed. The violator, who <br />did not have a land clearing permit, indicated he was not aware <br />of the tree protection ordinance, but staff feels that is not an <br />adequate defense. Director Keating reported that the developer <br />in question has agreed to replace the large oak trees removed <br />with the largest trees possible. <br />Planner Art Challacombe stated that trees of 6 -inch diameter <br />at breast height can be moved during December, January and <br />February, as long as the firms have a big enough spade and <br />capable personnel. <br />61 <br />JAN 2 3 1985 <br />BOOK v.;:>�UF 6: <br />
