OR AMEND MEASURE B RELATING TO VIEW PRESERVATION.
Mayor Dieringer introduced the item and asked for staff's introductory rernarks. Planning Director
Schwartz stated that there are two additional correspondence received after the agenda packet was
prepared and they have been placed an the dais and made available far the public. She stated that one
correspondence is frorn Lynn Gill proposing amended language for�he View Preservation Ordinance. She

it and what needs revision.

Council's previous discussions on this matter. Councilmember Pieper further explained the background on
the issue. Ms. Kirmse suggested that the City should have publicized thrs matter better. She stated that she
does not believe trees should be cut to improve views.
John Nunn, 1 Crest Raad West addressed the City Council stating that he does not believe the original
ordinance is balanced. He stated that the ardinance should include mandatary arbitration. He further stated
that the cunrer�t ordinance favors the �iew seeker and Measure B has restored a certain amount of fairness
_ and is more balanced.
Mike Schoettle, 24 Eastfield Drive addressed the City Council stating that the City should not be involved
in the legal issues regarding view matters but rather the City shot�id fund arbitration between the parties
and not take a side in the matter.

the maturity issue. He stated that if the view existed and has been rnaintained matuxe trees should no� be

the process and there needs to be clear,balanced definitions for everyone to follow.
Raghu Mendu, 1 Reata Lane addressed the City Council sta.ting that there should be balance between trees

COMMITTEE ON TREES AND VIEWS RESOLUTION NO. 2015-03-CTV SETTING FORTH
FINDINGS RELATING TO TRIMMING OF TREES AT 15 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD DUE
TO VIEW IMPAIRMENT FROM �$ PORTUGUESE BEND RQAD.
LOCATION OF TREES: 15 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD
PROPERTY OWNER: MR. AND MRS. HASSOLDT
COMPLAINANTS: DR. AND MRS. NUCCION
18 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD
Mayor Dieringer introd�xced the item and asked for staff s comments. Planning Directar Schwartz
presented the staff report and background on this matter. She stated that the first public hearing on this
matter was held on November 23, 2015 and the City Cauncil visited the properties on March 21, 2016.
She sta.ted that at the field trip, the City Council determined that the Nuccions had a view from fhe
designated viewing area as defined by the Zaning Or�inance and that�he trees on the Hassoldt property do
abstruct the view. She stated that today, the City Council will continue the public hearing, take public
�estirr�any and consider the information received. She further reviewed the infozmation recei�ed including
ari aerial pha�agraph and list of trees subrnitted by the Nuccions as requested by the City Council at the
November meenng; a certification from Brandon Gil�, Arborist regarding the measurement of the trees on
the Hassoldt property submittec� by the Nuccions today; a correspondence from Ha� Light submitted on
behalf of �he Hassoldts containing aerial photographs of the area; a declaration from a Registered
Consulting Arbarist regarding the maturity issue submitted by Mr. Light; and a correspondence from 11�,
Weinberg providing tree measurements and calc�lation extrapolating the age of the trees and height in
2010 based on the definition o#'mature previously adapted by the City Council.
Ms. �chwartz stated that based on the appeals, the City Council should determine if the Nuccians
established by clear and convincing evidence that the view existed in 2009 when they acquired the
property; is the view abstruc�ed now; and were the trees mature in 2009. She stated the once those matters
are determined, if applicable, the City Council should stnzcture any restorarive action in such a way to
provide view corridars not a panoramic view.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Black, P�anning Director Schwartz reviewed #he paints on appeal which
i�clude:
The appeal by Mr. and Mrs. Hassoldt(tree owners)has been filed on the basis that:
• The Nuc�ions have not established, by clear and convincing evidence or at all, the existence of a
protected view over Number 15 {�5 Portuguese Bend Road);
• Each of the trees subject to the complaint are exempt because they were mature an April 22, 2009
(when the Nuccions acquired the property);
• Other vaxions bases far the appeai.
o The Hassoldts were not properly noticed of the view compiaint case filed by the Nuccions
o The View Ordinance fails to provide procedure to req�ire service of view complair�t
o Upholding the CTV resolution would be in excess of the jurisdiction of the City
o The remediation actions will provide an unobstructed view and not "view corridors" to the
Nuccians
o No view existed when the Nuccions acquired the property and therefore the decision of the
CTV is unIawfu�
o The Nuccions have failed to establish by "clear and convincing evidence" that they had a
�iew when they purchased the property and that the trees were not mature when they
acquired the property.
The appeal by Dr. and Mrs. Nuccion (complainants)has been filed on the basis that:
Minutes
CFty Councrl Meeting
04-25-l 6 -4-
� The Comrnittee erred in its decisio� that the two Qlive trees subject to the complaint were mature
when the Nuccions purchased the property, and axe therefore not eligible for remediation; and
• The Committee abused i#s discretion by rejecting one arborist report that concluded that the Olive
�ees were not mature and accepting another arborist report that concluded that the Olive trees were
mature; and that the decision of the Committee to render those irees mature is not supported by
substantial evidence.
In response ta Mayor Dieringer regarding the second point in the Nuccion appeal, Mr. Weinberg stated
— that when the Committee came to its conclusion w�ith regard ta the issue of the rnaturity of the �live trees
was based on a feeling that the trees were rnahue; but since that time, the City Council adopted Resolution
1182 which provides guidelines as to how rnaturity is determined. He further stated that in using those
guidelines to determine maturity of the Olive tree specifically, it was found during the photographic
analysis that the trees were actually #aller than the rnaxirnum height provided for in the definition, which
indicates that the threshold needs to have flexibility. He suggested that the City Council could use its
discretion to determine that the Olive trees may not be mature.
In response to Mayor Dieringer, City Attorney Jenkins suggested that this would be the appropriate time
to call for comments from the appellants in this matter;tlien hear from the public an the anatter after whick�
time the appellants couid offer any rebutta.l cosnments and then the City Council could engage in
deliberation in the matter and ask for clarification from th.e parties where necessary. He further stated in
response to Mayor Dieringer that if the City Council wishes to remand this case back to the Committee on
Trees and Views to review based on the newly adopted standards, it would be appropriate to make that
motion now,but the Cxty Council is not obl'rgated to do so.
In response to Mayor Dieringer, Planning Director Schwartz stated that staff has no knowledge as to the
accuracy of the tree height projections submitted by the Nuccions.
Mayor Dieringer called for public comment.
Diana Nuccion, 18 Portuguese Bend Road addressed tiie City Council sta.t�ng that when they purchased
� their property in 2004 it was in a state of disarray and abandoned and they did not talce photographs at that
time because they were focused on finishing the house not documenting the view because Measure B did
not exist at that time. She sta.ted that the phatographs she submitted as evidence af the view were taken
after they moved into the house.
Howard Weinberg, Attorney, addressed the City Council on behalf of the Nuccions to further explain the
information that was submitted with regard to the tree height projections as they relate to the maturity of
the trees. He stated that based on this evidence, the two Olive tzees �nay be considered mature, but none
of the other tr�es were mature in 2009. He stated that in tlzeir opinion, the City Cotxncil has received the
evidence it needs to canclude that there was a view, that the trees irnpede that view, thaf the impairment
shauld be remediated and that the trees were not mature with the exception of possibly the twa Olive trees.
Discussion ensued concezn.izig the informatian that was submitted with regazd to �he tree height
projections as they relate to the maturity of the trees. Mr. Weinberg reiterated his point that the City
Council could use its discretion to determine that the Olive t�ees may not be mature based on the analysis
presented. In response to Mayor Dieringer regardi.ng t.�.e 2010 photogxaphs submitted, N1r. Weinberg
stated that witl�respect to the height of the trees in 2010, the Nuccions provided testimony that when they
purchased the house, they owned it or lived there for a year before they took thase photographs and no
trees were cut between the hme they bought the house and the time these photographs were taken. Further
discussion ensued concerning the burden af praof related ta the existence of the view and the maturity
issue
Hal Light, Attorney addressed�he City Council on behalf of the Hassoldts stating that the burden of proof
is for the applicant to provide clear and convincing evidence as to whether or not there was a view when
they acquired the property. He further explained the details of their appeal stating that they assert that the
Nuccions have not presented clear and canvincing evidence that the view existed in 2009 when they
acquired the property. He fiu-ther explained the Google Earth images that were submitted as evidence that
it was �ikely that the trees were tapped in 2010 although the Nuccions test�fied that the trees were nat
trimmed until 2011. Mr. Light further pointed out that they believe there is a discrepancy as to the date
the photographs submitted as evidence that the view existed in 2010 were taken. Mayor Pro Tem Black
commented that when the previous City Council heard testimony related to the issues surrounding the
Minutes
City Council Meeting
04-25-16 -5-
un�ergrounding af the utility lines on the property (in the late 2000's), there were several reference made
at that time to the property having a panoramic view and he observed the view as it existed. With regard
to the maturity issue, Mr. Light stated that their arborist is present to address the City Council arid answer
questions. Mr. Light further explained the 1954 aerial photograph submitted which shows a r�ng of trees
on the property at 15 Portuguese Bend Road stating that he believes the process whereby maturity is
determined is flawed.
Ruben Green, Registex�ed Consulting Arborist addressed the City Council stating that it is not a standard
prac�ice to determine tree maturity sole�y based on a percentage of a maximum height and spread. He
sta.ted that factors need to be considered including the trees age, the clirnate, the specie and the condition
of the tree. Discussion ensued concerning possible ways to determine maturity.
Mayor Dieringer called for public commen�.
Tina Greenberg, 32 Portuguese Bend Road addressed the City Counci� to ask if it would be possible for
the City to not rnake a decision if there is not enough evidence. She further suggested in the future using
age as a determination of rnaturity and that tlie City encourage residents to document their�iews.
Beate Kirmse, 2 Chuckwagon Road addressed the City Council to suggest that there should be
photographic evidence of the view from 2009.
Geraldine Bellville, 12 Crest Road East addressed the City Council to suggest that there should be a
timeline on view cases and that more research be done with regard to the maturity issue. She asked if the
City Counci�has to make a decision.
Jim Aichele, 14 Crest Road West addressed the City Co�anciI stating that the View Ordinance has always
favored views and serves to divide the City. He suggested the City should not be involved in view issues.
Mayor Dieringer called far rebuttal comments.
Mr. Light s�ated that the photo of the view submitted by the Nuccions as evidence from 7uly 2010 appears,
based on the metadata in #he photograph, to actually have been taken in July 2011. He asked that Mr.
Weinberg address #his issue. He suggested that the pho#os are �he same photograph. Mr. Light reasserted
their position that the Nuccions have not submitted clear and convincing evidence tl�at the view existed
when they acquired the property in Apri12009.
Mr. Weinberg stated that the photos may have been taken aroexnd the same time, but they are not the same
photograph. He stated that all of the photographs submitted as prior photographs show that there was a
view previously. He stated tha� the City Council has been provided with photographic evidence and
tes�imony frorn the Nuccions that they had a view.
Hearing no further public cornrnent, Mayor Dieringer closed the public hearing.
In response to Mrs. Belle�ille's inquiry, City Attorney Jenl�ins stated that an application has been rnade
under the ordinance and the applicant is entitled to a decision. He stated that the City Council's decision
should be based on the e�idence that has beeri presented and what is ian the record of the proceedings. He
fi,�rtlier reviewed the matters before the City Council.
in response to Mayor Pro Tem Black regarding previous public testimony and personal experience during
consideration of an unrelated rnatter on this property asserting that the property did have a panoramic
view, City Attomey Jenkins stated that absent definitive answers as to exactly when the testimony was
given and when the view was seen, the City Council has to detertnine how much weight can be given to
that evidence and its relevance to this proceeding. City Attarney Jenkins stated that the City Council may
wish ta focus an the evidence included in the packet arid heard tonight.
In response to Mayor Dieringer, City Attorney Jenkins stated that it is not unusual for land use decision-
making bodies to not reqi.Fire testimony to be made under oath. He further explained the burden of proof
requirements as they apply to the ordinar�ce and Measure B specifically. Discussion ensued concerning the
burden of proof with regard to the maturity issue. City Attorney 3erikins stated that as he interpre#s
Measure B,the clear and convincing evidence standard does not apply to the issue of maturity.
Minutes
City Council Meeting

in response to Mayor Dieringer regarding establishing the protected view, City Attorney Jenkins stated
�hat the City Couricil first needs to determine if there is a view, which has already been determined; and if
there is a view, was that view there,by clear and convmcing evidence, wheri the properiy was acquired. �f
yes, then the City Council would determine if the view is impaired by maturing or mature trees.
Discussion ensued concerning the burden of praof with regard to the issue of mature vs. maturing.
Councilmernber Piepex com�nented that based on the evidence presented, he believes that only the Olive
trees are considered mature; and moving forward based on that assumption, those trees would be
exempted from action and the Nuccions would be provided with corridor views on either side of those
trees, which is consistent with previous application of the ordinance. He further commented that the next
issue to determine is what view existed in 2009 when the Nuccions acquired the property. He commented
that he too remembers discussions abou# a panoramic view from this property when an unrelated matter
was before the Planning Commission, but he is bothered by the inconsistent date stamp on the photos
although he knows from experience tl�at it is passible for a da.te stamp to be incorrect on a photograph. He
stated that given the time and diligence that the Committee on Trees and Views put into this case and the
new evidence submitted, he is inclined to deny both appeals and uphold the Commi#tee's decision with
rega�rd to the maturity issue. Discussion ensued concerning the "2009" cut marks as referenced by the
Committee.
Mayor Dieringer cornrnented that s�ie believes that the clear and convincing evidence standard should also
appiy to the issue of maturity and that if the trees were mature then there is no view. She further
expressed concern that if there was trimming done in 20U9 and the photos submitted were from 2010, then
the�hotos don't accurately depict the view from 2009 and the data used to determine maturity is faulty.
Further discussion ensued concerning whether or not the applicant has submitted evidence that the view
existed in 2009 when they acquired the property. Mayor Pro Tern Black commented that everyone
involved wi.th�he property laiows there was a view although it isn't clear whether it was 2008 or 2009, but
the City Council has received evidence and testimony fram the Nuccions that the view existed in 2009.
Councilmember Miz�sch suggested that the Ci#y Cow�cil consider one item at a time; first, did a view exist
in 2009? Further discussion ensued concerning whether or not the applicant has submitted evidence that
the view existed in 2009 when they acquired the property and the discrepancy in the date stamp on the
photos and the e-mail carirespondence. Councilmember Mirsch commented, in response to a previous
comment by Mr. Light, that she was not on the Committee on Trees & Views when this case was
considered and she did not see this property's view prior to the City Council's consideration of this case.
Further discussion ensued conceming what view existed when the Nuccions acquired the properly in 2009
and the evidence submitted.
Mayor Dieringer cornmented that in researching this matter personally, she found a photo from a real
estate listing in 2011 that showed the trees having been topped. City Attorney J�nkins comrnented that
since the photograph referenced isn't in the recor�., it shouldn't be taken into consideration. Following
further discussion, consideration of the evidence presented and deliberation, the folIowing motions were
rnade:
Councilmember Mirsch moved tlaat the City Council find, based on the evidencE, that the applicant had a
view when they acquired the properly. Councilmember Pieper seconded the motion. Following discussxon,
the rnotion carried with Mayor Dieringer opposed.
Councilmember Pieper moved that the City Council fmd, based an the evidence, that two Olive trees
under consideration were mature when the Nuccions acquired the property and thus, exempt from
remediation; that the remainder of the trees under cansideration were not mature when the Nuccions
acquired the property and further setting forth the restarative act�ions to abate the view impairment as
� determined by the Committee on Trees and Views. Councilmember Wilson seconded the motion.
Following discussion,the motion carried with Mayar Dieringer opposed.
Councilmember Pieper moved that the City Council direct staff to prepare a Resolution denying both
appeais, Mayor Pro Tem Black seconded the modon, which carried with Mayor Dieringer opposed.
