The <br /> motion passed by a majority voice vote by those present, with Council Member <br /> Jordan abstaining (arrived after discussion) and Vice Mayor Ira absent. <br /> MINUTE ORDER 02-138 <br /> <br />8. MAi i ERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST- <br /> <br />8:15 P.M. - Vice Mayor Ira arrived <br /> <br /> B. Council Member Jordan - after receiving Mayor Claire's assessment of the oral <br /> communications and Council consensus regarding an appeal process, Council <br /> Member Jordan made her statements on the topic. She stated that it is possible <br /> the policy is not applicable in Redwood Shores because there are no planting <br /> strips in that area. She further stated that if a canopy type effect were to be <br /> achieved in Redwood Shores, it would in effect shade the entire house. She <br /> stated that at a minimum, the policy shou- be rE,'iewec and that some residents <br /> would like an appeal process. <br /> <br /> Robert Sapeka stated several concerns such as residents not being regarded and <br /> that planting would be directly in front of the house. He further questioned why <br /> Council would want to force a resident to have a tree if the resident opposes the <br /> idea and that an appeal process is a good idea. <br /> <br /> Patricia Dixon stated if a tree is to be planted, she would want a substantially <br /> sized tree. <br /> <br /> Greg Miller stated his disturbance is related to not being notified about the tree <br /> planting. He stated that a tree in the middle of his lawn is not going to be an <br /> improvement. <br /> <br /> Carol Baranchini stated that the tree to be planted would be placed along with her <br /> two existing trees. She further stated she has already removed a tree on <br /> Barkentine that was tilting and does not need another one in that area. <br /> <br /> Doug Eckles likes trees but stated the planting should be on a case by case basis <br /> and looked at in relationship to location. <br /> <br /> Consensus by Council was to not go forward with the tree planting at this time, <br /> and to agendize the item for discussion and possible action at a later date. <br /> <br />10.
