MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST- 8:15 P.M. - Vice Mayor Ira arrived B. Council Member Jordan - after receiving Mayor Claire's assessment of the oral communications and Council consensus regarding an appeal process, Council Member Jordan made her statements on the topic. She stated that it is possible the policy is not applicable in Redwood Shores because there are no planting strips in that area. She further stated that if a canopy type effect were to be achieved in Redwood Shores, it would in effect, shade the entire house. She stated that at a minimum, the policy should be reviewed and that some residents would like an appeal process. Robert Sapeka stated several concerns such as residents not being regarded and that planting would be directly in front of the house. He further questioned why Council would want to force a resident to have a tree if the resident opposes the idea and that an appeal process is a good idea. Patricia Dixon stated if a tree is to be planted, she would want a substantially sized tree. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MAY 20, 2002 MINUTES PAGE 6 MINUTES Book No, 59 Page No. 165
