Pocantico Park Condominium, 48 Pocantico Street, Tree removal application appeal Discussion Deputy Chairman Swartz asked if there was anyone present to represent the Pocantico Park Condominium Association. There was no response. �Deputy Chairman Swartz asked Sean McCarthy to provide an update of the status of the appeal. Sean McCarthy stated he did not expect the applicant to be present. Mr. McCarthy stated that a site visit was conducted with the applicant's representative and their landscaper to discuss a draft solution for the removal of the trees. It was determined that three of the seven trees are as of right to remove because they are located within ten feet of the structure. The balance of the trees would be replanted with additional trees along with some improvements to the existing landscape buffer. The information discussed at the site visit was to be presented to the Home Owner Association to approve. A landscape plan will be submitted to represent the draft solution. Mr. McCarthy requested that the Board adjourn the discussion to the September meeting in hopes to that a landscape plan will be provided for the Board to review. Deputy Gordon Swartz solicited comments from the Board. Tom Andruss asked Sean McCarthy if the landscape plan was required to be shared with the Planning Board. Sean McCarthy stated that the applicant is appealing the denial decision so it is required to come before the Board. Tom Andruss asked if the appeal decision process can be handled by the Building Department instead of coming before the Planning Board. Discussion ensued as to whether or not decisions made by the Tree Commission can be overturned and the jurisdiction of the Building Department to avoid appeals going through the Planning Board process. Ed McCarthy asked if the trees are dead. Sean McCarthy stated that there is one tree that should be taken down due to its condition. Three of the trees are too close to the structure and are as-of-right for permitted removal. The other trees are proposed to be removed because of issues due to size, location, and species. Kersten Harries asked if someone from the Tree Commission was present at the site meeting. Sean McCarthy stated there was not a member of the Tree Commission present at the site meeting. Ed McCarthy asked if there was an arborist present in the group at the site meeting. Sean McCarthy stated that there was not an arborist present in the group. Ed McCarthy asked if the root base is damaged. Sean McCarthy stated that the root system of some of the trees may be compromised from the reconstruction of the retaining wall and may jeopardize the conditions of the trees. Mr. McCarthy �stated that there are neighbors who are in favor of the tree removals that border their property lines. Deputy Chairman Swartz stated that if in the interim a resolution can be brokered by the Building Department, the Tree Commission, and the applicant perhaps it may not have to come before the Planning Board. If there is no resolution then the application will have to be addressed at the September 20, 2018 meeting. Sean McCarthy stated that upon receipt of the site plan from the applicant, the Building Department will share it with the Tree Commission. If a resolution can be reached, the Building Department will move forward with the decision and notify the Board. Motion was made to adjourn the application to the September 20, 2018 meeting.
