Ms. Beth McMillen, Assistant Director for the Marine Resources Council, opened with
information on invasive plant species. Ms. McMillen stated that the Florida Department of
Transportation created a plan to address the National Scenic Byway that extends from
Titusville to Wabasso on State Road US 1. She noted the Brazilian Pepper as the most
prominent of the invasive species. Ms. McMillen explained the plan to educate the public,
seek funding, apply for permits and recruit and train volunteers and provide maps of the
corridors. She informed the Marine Resources Council would assist with grant writing for
public entities and would also remove Brazilian Peppers without charge on private lands
between the corridor and the lagoon shoreline. The Scenic Byway Corridor Management
Committee meets on the second Wednesday of every month in Palm Bay. Ms. McMillen

Proposal from Dyer, Riddle, Mills & Precourt, Inc. in the amount of $94,3'14.40.
Mayor Randels stated that Transportation Impact Fees would fund the engineering cost.
He thanked Harriet Raymond for her work as County Project Coordinator. He outlined the
project scope as: design survey, road right-of-way, and engineering and geotechnicai
services. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog asked if the costs were as projected during discussion.
Mr. Boucher replied that costs have increased since the project was first discussed and he
outlined some of the improvements as: widening to a three lane urban roadway with curb
and g utter and sidewalks, improving the drainage system, and if possible, installing
underground utilities on the west side of the road. The County bid the project and would
coordinate with staff and the Port Authority and also give Dyer, Riddle authorization to
proceed. Mr. Boucher affirmed to Mr. Nicholas that the county would provide total costs
for performing the finished work. Mr. Nicholas asked if the County would relinquish the
road. Mr. Boucher replied that acquiring the roadway should follow the improvements. He
informed that funding was set aside through the Local option Gas Tax for paving North
Atlantic Avenue and would be presented in an upcoming Interlocal Agreement. Mr.
Nicholas also suggested a combined storm drainage and roadway improvement plan.
Mr. Petsos suggested forwarding a copy of the engineering proposal from Dyer, Riddle,
Mills and Precourt to the Port Authority for assistance with the road expenditure. He
stated that the Port Charter, Article IV, Section 19(a) allows fund expenditure for roadways
surrounding or adjacent to the Port. Mr. Boucher replied that the City would coordinate

the county would use its road and bridge crew on the project depending upon their

Mudrak, Inc. as the second ranked firm. Mr. Ratliff replied to Mayor Pro Tem Hoog that

10. Motion to Approve: Request to Remove Two (2) Specimen Trees, Sea Shell
Cay Townhomes, Sea Shell Lane, Harbor Heights.
Council Member Morgan disclosed that he submitted a Conflict of Interest form due to his
financial interest in the project and he would not vote on the subject. Mr. James Morgan,
Jr. stated that he submitted copies of the completed tree hazard evaluation forms from City
Forester. Mr. Boucher informed that the City Arborists concurred with the findings. Mr.
Morgan, Jr. explained that T -1 describes the 48-inch tree and T -2 the 34 -inch tree. He
informed that both trees have identified problems. Mayor Randels read the hazard
synopsis on the T -1 tree located in the lot's center as, "Roof flare 12" plus under soil line
from past grade change and fill soil has been added to the east side which covers about
25% more of the root mass to a depth of more than 1 2- inches on top of the First fill, if final
grade adds soil to this, the tree will be stressed into a decline to a rate depending on the
percentage of stored carbohydrates. Target rating assess with site character after
construction and residence living on property. Tree removal recommended if grade is
raised andlor more than 10 percent of roots are to be removed in construction or removal
of more than 10 percent of live crown ratio (foliage). Core test (shows fiber breakdown
about 3- inches into trunk) 3 samples taken, plus cavity opening (b inches wide, 48-inches
high) shows strength loss threshold to be about 64 percent in the trunk. "
Mayor Randels inquired if the tree removal were recommended. Mr. Morgan, Jr. replied
that page two under hazard abatement Called for tree removal. Mayor Randels clarified
that a point system was used to identify a tree's hazard from one as a low to twelve as a
high. Mr. Morgan, Jr. explained that a total of the categories comprised the level of hazard.
Mayor Pro Tern Hoog questioned why the second tree was not rated like the first. Mr.
Morgan, Jr. explained that the smaller tree had an included bark that weakens the tree's
structure. The Arborist also indicated an inundated Canopy and an angle. Mr. Morgan, Jr.
stated that the smaller tree has a multi- trunk. Mayor Randels read the hazard synopsis on
the T -2 located on the northwest corner of the lot as, "Low live crown ratio, poor tree
structure (low co- dominants) and lean percentage high, tree in high street (crown class -
suppressed), Site stress under construction/ grading and removal of suppressing plants
will add sunscald and higher rate of stress. Removal andlor replacement recommended."
Mr. Morgan, Jr. aft rmed that the Arborist is State certified. Mayor Pro Tern Hoog
questioned if the smaller tree was leaning 90- degrees from vertical. Mr. Morgan, Jr.
-- affirmed. He confirmed for Mayor Randels that the two trees were identified as 34- inches
and 27- inches and not 48- inches for the larger tree as stated on the survey. Mayor

Randels read from Code Section 102-41 that outlines the criteria for specimen tree
removal. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog referred to the 34 -inch tree and concluded that based on
the hazard information the tree was in poor condition. He noted that the smaller tree had
identifiable problems and the Arborist recommended its removal and/or replacement. Mr.
Petsos stated that he would like to see a hazard rating on the smaller tree. Mr. Nicholas
stated that the larger tree received a poor grade; however, the small tree did not appear to
suffer from the same maladies. Mr. Morgan, Jr. informed that the smaller tree has a split
trunk that is detrimental to its structure. Mr. Nicholas concurred with the tree's removal
based on identified hazards.
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog inquired about the applicant's potential recourse on the city if the
second tree is not removed and it imposes a futu hazard. Attorney Garganese stated
that the City has certain sovereign immunity rights with respect to permitting; however, the
C ity code specifically exempts diseased trees from the definition of specimen trees. The
Council would hear all the competent substantial evidence presented and would make its
determination on the evidence that the trees in question are diseased, if so then they are
not specimen trees and can be removed by permit of the Building Official. If the
determination on one tree is that it is diseased, then the other tree is subject to removal or
replacement as a specimen tree. Council needs to determine if one or both trees are
diseased. Mr. Morgan, Jr. stated that the city staff: concurred with the analysis. Attorney
Garganese explained that the intent of the ordinance is to remove diseased trees. He
advised that the Council could table the matter until hearing from the Arborist and city
staff. Mayor Randels read City code section 102.40 and questioned if a hardship were
created.
Mr. Boucher explained that thapplicant could seek relief by ascertaining the tree's health or
through adjusting the building footprint. Mr. Morgan, Jr. informed the Council that he
would have the Arborist complete the report on the smaller tree and also coordinate with
the city's arborist for an on -site inspection. Nor. Morgan, Jr. asked to receive Site Plan
approval contingent upon the stated conditions. Mr. Boucher agreed to coordinate a site
inspection with both Arborists. Mayor Pro Tem Hoog concurred. Attorney Garganese
recommended having the Arborist consultant and the City Arborist at the next meeting to
answer questions. Discussion concluded to have the Arborists meet on -site and submit
completed reports in which the Arborists are in agreement. Mayor Randels concluded that
Council would not proceed to vote on the item until the stated recommendation was met.
Nis. Karen Johnson, 346 Coral Drive, displayed a photo of the tree and referred to an
article that identified live oak as a wind resistant species. She asked if the Council would
seek assistance from the University of Florida Cooperation Extension. Mr. Boucher
informed that the city has a certified Arborist on staff. Ms. Judy Lau of 211 Coral Drive
Posed two questions: 1) were the trees healthy, if they are not, then the tree should be
removed, and 2) if either one or both are healthy, does refusing or denying the application
to remove the trees constitute a hardship to Mr. Morgan, Jr? Ms. Lau concluded that if the
�-- trees were not healthy, then they need to be removed. Mr. Joe Ross, co -owner of 227
Coral Drive referred to Code section 102- 40(b )(3) under Permit Exceptions that outlines
City of Cape Canaveral, Florida
City Council Regular Meeting
March 7, 2006
Page 7 of 10
the requirements for a dead or seriously damaged tree's removal. The Arborist must
determine if the tree is unhealthy and/ or is it a serious threat.
Attorney Garganese stated that the Council does not have the data to question if the trees
were a health hazard. Mr. Ross suggested an unbiased Certified Arborist. Attorney
Garganese explained that during a quasi-judicial proceeding the applicant has the burden
of proof to secure evidence and expert testimony. Council's decision should be made
based on the weight of the evidence. It is not Council's task to independently weigh the
evidence, but to use its resources to make a decision. Attorney Garganese restated his
recommendation to have the Certified Arborist in the audience to answer questions. Mr.
Boucher asked the Council if they believed a hardship exists. Mayor Randels stated that
he did not see a hardship. Mayor Pro Tern Hoog said that the City code provides a
remedy for hardships. He expressed how he has received unfavorable feedback on how
people are affected in building and business when they address City Boards.
Mr. John Johansen of 310 Adams Avenue stated that trees exist on most vacant property.
He expressed that opposite extremes are being addressed between saving trees and what
is being removed for less appealing buildings. Mr. Ross stated that the discussion is
specimen trees, not all trees. He referenced the City code that states, "except for
extraordinary circumstances or hardships, tree removal was not allowed." Mr. Boucher
stated that the applicant was required to mitigate under the Code if the second tree met
the hardship requirement. He would need to replace the one tree with 11 trees of a 3 -inch
depth breadth diameter, and/or paying $2,750 in the tree bank. Council concluded that the
applicant was willing to mitigate the tree. Attorney Garganese replied that if the hardship
were not met, then the specimen tree would stay and Mr. Morgan, Jr. could appeal that
decision to the Circuit Court. Attorney Garganese stated that the record reflect the
Council's desire to have both Arborists present. Discussion provided that agreement in
the report would not require having both Arborists present. However, Council requested
their presence and the item would be placed at the beginning of the Agenda. For the
record, the City Attorney stated that the Arborists needed guidance to provide evidence.
Item No. 10 was postponed until the next City Council meeting on March 21, 2006.

DISCUSSION:
16. Consideration of an Offer to Sell the City Lot 3 (Harbor Heights West
Subdivision).
Mr. Boucher informed that the project is subject to a Special Exception and the Appraisal
used allowable development scenarios of 1) with a development of a single-family, 1 or 2
family dwelling, the appraised value would be $260,000, 2) for three units that is the
pending Special Exception, the $340,000 asking price is not an unreasonable asking price.
Ms. Hanson reported costs of$100,000 to develop the lot into a neighborhood park.
Mayor Randels pointed out that the Recreation Director noted that parking and some other
amenities were not practical. Mr. Boucher replied to Mr. Nicholas that the Appraiser
declined addressing commercial as not the highest and best property use. Ms. Arlene
Valesteri suggested a dog park outlining the need. Judy Lau suggested a walk through
park. Mr. Nicholas noted that a park in the northeast section of the City was once
discussed. Mayor Pro Tern Hoog expressed concern with spending $340,000 for a dog
park. Mr. John Johansen related that he was not agreeable to selling for less than
$340,000.
A motion was made by Mr. Nicholas to purchase the property at the asking price of
$340,000. Motion failed for a second.
Mayor Pro Tem Hoog expressed that he was not in favor of purchasing a park that the
Recreation Director did not endorse. Attorney Garganese stated that the Board of
Adjustment decision was not a deciding factor with respect to the Property Appraiser.
Ms. Lau stated that the property is zoned commercial; however, there is no access to a
major arterial road. She emphasized that if the Board of Adjustment does not agree to the
Special Exception, the developer could still build commercial. Mr. Johansen clarified for
the record that before he went to the Planning and Zoning Board, he approached the
neighbor to sell the property. Mayor Randels concluded that the City was not interested in
purchasing the property; therefore, Mr. Johansen would proceed to the Board of
Adjustment on March 13th for a Special Exception.
Due to the lateness of the hour, no reports were forthcoming.
ADJOURNMENT: The Chair adjourned the meeting at 10:45 P.M.
