ANNOUNCEMENTS: No announcements. OLD BUSINESS: Anne Dann stated that the empty lot across the street from her home had two (2) large oak trees destroyed. The lot was being cleared. Charles Cardinale mentioned rescheduling the tour of the park on Englar Drive & George St., with Ralph Brown to August 2 at 5:00pm. Mr. Brown was unable to give the tour in June or July. A letter will be sent to Mr. Brown to see if he is available in August. Anne Dann got in contact with Christine Kelly to see if she would give us a lecture on Champion Trees. Ms. Kelly stated that she was not able to give us what we needed on Champion Trees. Charles Cardinale will try to get a hold of Dan from Okeechobee to Tree Board June 7, 2004 Page 2 see if he could stop on his way home and come to a meeting and talk with us. The Board still needs some explanation on Champion trees. Anne suggested calling the Extension office in Okeechobee to contact him. Charles Cardinale will see if he can come to our July 12th meeting. Henry Madsen, stated, the Board needs to come up with a list of concerns to be presented to the new Building Director. This list will be compiled at the next meeting then presented to the new Director when he gets settled in his job. Some of the concerns are that the Building Dept. needs to enforce the Landscape code. Charles Cardinale wants the revised tree ordinance reviewed and approved. Mr. Madsen also would like the code for continuous hedges around a parking lot changed from three feet to two feet since this is what they are putting in the City Hall complex. If the code isn't changed to two feet it should be enforced at three feet. Michelle Merlin will check to see if the County code calls for two feet or three feet hedges on city property. Anne Dann left for another meeting at 5:58 p.m. 8. NEW BUSINESS: Photographs were submitted by Mr. Madsen of opaque screening of a CR512 business (Commerce Center). The C.O. never should have been given. Code says that opaque screens need to be at least six feet in height. There was discussion on this code and thoughts on how to fix the problem. It was suggested by Mr. Cardinale that the water restrictions (days & times) be run as an ad in the Press Journal and the Pelican Brief for residents to see. 9. MEMBER MATTERS: Reschedule July 5th meeting due to holiday to July 12th. 10. STAFF MATTERS: Chris McCarthy asked who was to maintain the Butterfly Garden.
