The ordinance requires <br />property owners to secure a permit for removal of a heritage tree, defined as any species above a <br />certain size. If staff denies permission to remove of a heritage tree, the applicant has a right to <br />appeal the decision to the Heritage Tree Boazd of Appeals. <br />Acting Chairperson Foa moved to nominate Commissioner Blank to the Heritage Tree <br />Board of Appeals for 2007. <br />Commissioner Olson seconded the motion. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br />AYES: Commissioners Fox, O'Connor, Olson, and Pearce. <br />NOES: None. <br />ABSTAIN: Commissioner Blank. <br />RECUSED None. <br />ABSENT: None. <br />The motion passed. <br />Commissioner Blank moved to nominate Commissioner Olson to the Heritage Tree Board <br />of Appeals for 2007. <br />Commissioner O'Connor seconded the motion. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br />AYES: Commissioners Blank, Fox, O'Connor, and Pearce. <br />NOES: None. <br />ABSTAIN: Commissioner Olson. <br />RECUSED None. <br />ABSENT: None. <br />The motion passed. <br />Commissioners Blank and Olson were appointed to the Heritage Tree Boazd of Appeals for <br />2007. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES December 13, 2006 Page 3 of 26 <br />
