� CONSIDERATION OF TWO APPEALS OF COMMITTEE ON TREES AND VIEWS
RESOLUTION NO. 20I5-03-CTV SETTING FORTH FINDINGS RELATING TO TRIMMING
OF TREES AT 15 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD DUE TO VIEW IlVIPAIRMENT FROM 18
PORTUGUESE BEND RO,AD.
Mayor Dieringer intraduced t1�e item and asked for staffls camments. City Attomey JenkFns stated that as
the City Cotincil will recall, the public hearing on this matter was ctosed on Apri125�' at which time staff
was directed to prepare a Resolution affirming the decision of the Committee on Trees and Views. He
stated that the City Council is in the deliberation sta,gE until a resolution is adopted. He stated that at his
request, staff gathered all of the evidence that had been collected wit1�regard to the existence of a view at
the time the property was acc�uired by the Nuccions in 2009. He stated that as he reviewed the evidenc�,
including transcription of sorne of the minutes, e-mai�s, the application and written rnateria�s submitted,
tliere appears tfl be some confusion with regard to the photographs that were submitted as evidence of the
view at�the time�he property was acqui�ed. He stated that the issue causing concern is that, as is shown �iti
the record, the trees at issue were trimmed by the Nuccions at some point in time and it is not clea.r when
the photographs were talcen in relation to when the trees were trimmed. He stated that after this review of
the e�idence, the staff report was prepared outlining all of the evidence presented on the question of what
view existed from the praperty at the time of acquisition to assist in preparing a resolution by al�owing the
City Council to identify those matters that it �inds persuasive in the evidence. He stated that by loaking at
the staff repart and all the evidence cifed in the staff repot, the City Council is in an improved position to
identify the specific evidence it finds persuasive arid why it is persuasive. He stated that the staff report
.� outlines three options before the City Council: (1) reaffirm the direction from Apri125�'and dsrect staff to
return with a resolution upholding the decision of the Committee on Trees & Views; (2)re-apen the pubZic
hearing after public natice and schedue another hearing; or(3)provide different direction to staff.
He staYed that Mr. Wienberg, the attorney for the Nuccians submit�ed additional evidence just before the
meeting tonight, which according to staff, consists of new evidence that has not been previously
submitted. He stated that siz�ce the public hearing is closed, it is not permissible to accept new evidence at
tonight's meeting— either in document or testimony form. He stated that if it is the City Council's desire
to accept new evidence, the pub�ic hearing would have to be re-opened and property nodced for a future
meeting.
Discussians ensued concerning the options before the City Council for proceeding. Councilrnember Pieper
stated that after further reviewing the requirements of Measure B, he does not believe the evidence
subirtitted establishes the existence of the view when the property was acquired. He suggested re-opening
the public hearing solely for the purpose of considering the issue whether a view existed at the time the
Nuccions acquired the property. To clarify, City Attorney Jenkins stated that the City Council has received
a lot of evidence including ora� testimony, and it is the City Council's job to examine all of the evidence
and sift thorough it and weigh it against the rest of the evidence.
Follovv�ng further discussion, Councilmember Mirsch moved that the City Council reopen the pubIic
nearing on this matter for the limited purpose of receiving additional evidence and cansidering further the
saie issue whether a view existed at the time the Nuccions acquired the property at 18 Portuguese Bend
� Road. Councilmember Pieper seconded the motion, which carried withaut abjection.
Disc�assion ensued conceming possible dates for the re-apened public hearing and with concurrence of
bath parties, the public hearing was scheduled for Monday, August 22, 2016 at 7:00 p.m.. Following brief
discussian and concurrence by both parties, the City Council upon a motion by Councilmember Mirsch,
seconded by Councilmember Pieper and withaut arry objection, provided the parties with the following
