Memo REOEIVED .,iTY OF SEBASTIAN OFFICE OF OITYOLERK To: Mayor Barnes and Council Members From: James A. Hi~,...-''~- D~te: 06126/02 Re~ Tree and Landscape Advisory Board Recommendation I first thank the Tree and Landscape Advisory Board for the hard work they have done for the city. I am concerned, however, with some of their recommended changes to the land development code. Many of these changes are very significant, and may infringe on the privet property rights of the citizens of Sebastian. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend tonight's meeting to desodbe my concems, so I will attempt to list some of them in this form. I am very concerned relative to several proposed changes to sections 54-3-14.3, 54-3-14.7, and 54-3- 14.10. Some of the proposed requirements are very harsh and could be cost prohibitive. I fined it difficult to require citizens plant trees on public property because their property can not handle any more trees. I aisc have several questions relating to definitions and plant types in these sections. The section I am most concemed about would be 54-3-14.17. I am opposed to all of the changes in this section. The proposed changes would in essence create a new board. The Tree and Landscape Advisory Board is in place to give advise to council regarding the trees and landscaping of City property, not on pdvet property. We have the land development code in place to set the policies and requirements for landscaping city wide, and a staff in place to ensure the codes are followed. Again, I apologize for not being able to attend the meeting tonight, and look forward to discussing these proposed changes in more detail at the next meeting if necessary. As it is dght now, I would recommend council not acting on tonight's agenda item, and if council feels necessary schedule a workshop to discUSs. Please consider these comments in you discussions. · Page 1
