INCOHERENT JUXTAPOSITION: Objection to Judge’s Decision vs. William's Roofing “Repair”

Flanders Mansion
Portion of Ridge which William’s Roofing “Repaired”
April 2007


Close-Up of “Repaired” Ridge
Original Tiles & Replacement Tiles Visible

After Monterey Superior Court Judge Robert A. O’Farrell issued his decision on Flanders Foundation vs. City of Carmel-by-the-Sea, et al, the City Council of Carmel-by-the-Sea instructed Special Counsel William Conners to file an objection to the decision arguing that the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is not obligated to maintain the National Register of Historic Places Flanders Mansion. Judge O’Farrell then agreed to a Motion Hearing on Friday, 18 May 2007 at 9:00 A.M.

In April 2007, the City contracted with William’s Roofing Company for “REPAIRS TO FLANDERS MANSION ROOF,” at a cost of $3960.00 Apparently, the “repair” was to the ridge as pictured above. Is appears that tiles were either removed or replaced with dissimilar material tiles along the ridge in discontinuous fashion, i.e. a temporary “repair.”

Comments & Questions:

1. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation,Roofs

not recommended

Removing a major portion of the roof or roofing material that is repairable, then reconstructing it with new material in order to create a uniform, or "improved" appearance.

For more information, click on post title above.

2. Was the Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation complied with by the City and William Roofing Company when the Flanders Mansion roof “repair” was made to the ridge?

3. Since the Historic Resources Board (HRB) did not meet in April 2007, it appears that the Flanders Mansion roof “repair” was not on their agenda prior to the “repair.” Why was the “repair” not on a HRB agenda prior to contracting with Williams Roofing Company?

REPORTS FROM STAFF
Receive verbal report from City Forester regarding the Coastal Commission’s position on tree replacement plantings and compliance with the Local Coastal Plan.

City Forester Mike Branson received a call from California Coastal Commission Staff Member Mike Watson about concerns over a city change in forest policy with the substitution of Canary Island Pines for removed Monterey Pine trees. Branson assured Mike Watson that there had been no change in tree policy. However, Branson only vaguely alluded to the April meeting when the Forest & Beach Commissioner Members approved Canary Island Pine trees for all 3 “approved for removal” Monterey Pine trees.. Branson then alluded to the belief that “resistant” Monterey Pine trees were difficult to acquire and that they were only available as seedlings. When questioned, Branson stated that he had contacted Rana Creek Nursery and Rana has available 5 gallon and 15 gallon pitch canker “resistant” Monterey Pine trees.

Note: Rana Creek Nursery’s web site includes a Download Plant Availability List; Pinus radiata appear, as follows:

30250 Pinus radiata 15 Gallon $ 60.00
30271 Pinus radiata Super Cell $ 0.00
30282 Pinus radiata 5 Gallon $ 20.00
31360 Pinus radiata 24" Box $ 150.00

Whereas, Pinus canariensis (Canary Island Pine) is not available.

Apparently, Mike Watson also communicated to City Forester Mike Branson that native tree species, i.e., Monterey Pine, Monterey Cypress and Coast Live Oak, be approved for planting for replacement of dead, diseased or removed trees as described in the Local Coastal Program, not non-native species. Moreover, Mike Watson stated that he would provide writen documentation to that effect for the Forest & Beach Commission Members. Branson either declined or did not give the documentation from the California Coastal Commission Staff Member to the Forest & Beach Commissioners at the public meeting.

Comment:
That the Forest & Beach Commission Members and City Forester did not recognize that their actions at the April 2007 meeting constituted a policy change is indicative of a holistic ignorance of Carmel-by-the-Sea's traditions, Municipal Code and Local Coastal Program.

An Overview of Trees in the City of Carmel

It is not an exaggeration to state that the general condition of trees in the City of Carmel is deteriorating fairly rapidly, nor is it an exaggeration to state that Carmel will not be as attractive either to residents or to visitors within a fairly short period unless significant, municipally supported steps are taken to reverse the tree decline where possible or alternatively to plant new trees of appropriate species as part of an organized program on an ongoing, long term basis.

The mature, 90’ tall Monterey Pines, which form the skyline character in postcards of Carmel from the 1940’s, are dying off, primarily due to infection by pine pitch canker disease, leaving large gaps in the municipal tree canopy.

Unfortunately, the drama involved in the loss of this large a tree usually steals the show from the gradual decline of the other most frequently encountered native, tree, Coast Live Oak. Between severe infestation of Oak Leaf Caterpillar larvae, Fruit Tree Leaf roller larvae, Oak mildew disease and witches broom disease damage, our native Oaks have a very hard life.

When they are planted in very small spaces which severely restrict their roots’ access to oxygen and water and those species are further restricted by expansion of pavement, it should no be surprising that these natural and man-made stresses combine to result in loss of more growth annually that they can replace.

A program designed to address these subjects is urgently needed, which includes:

1) Replacement of mature Monterey Pines with several species which mature at 70-100’ tall.

2) Deep, voluminous irrigation of the Oaks in restricted soil spaces.

3) Pest control for Oaks which are most severely stressed.

4) Control over the quality of pruning of at least publicly owned trees.

5) Development of an acceptable list of replacement species, accompanied by quality standards fro purchasing, installation and maintenance of those trees.

6) Assignment of a well trained person or persons to the responsibility of irrigation and pruning of newly installed trees, using the latest recommended procedures.

Respectfully submitted,


Barrie D. Coate

Questions:

1. Why did the Forest & Beach Commission and Acting City Forester commission a non-local, “consulting arborist” to complete “An Overview of Trees in the City of Carmel?”

2. Why didn’t the Forest & Beach Commission and Acting City Forester commission Friends of Carmel Forest, a local, more knowledgeable and informed group about Carmel-by-the-Sea’s traditions, forest and Local Coastal Program as it pertains to forestry and tree issues to complete “An Overview of Trees in the City of Carmel?”

Prompted by notification to the City and City Attorney Don Freeman of a vacancy on the Forest & Beach Commission, Mayor Sue McCloud stated that there was "no vacancy,” but admitted that Forest & Beach Commission Chairperson Peggy Miller was “living in Carmel Valley.”

Since Peggy Miller is no longer a resident of Carmel-by-the-Sea, it is incumbent on her to resign her position forthwith and for the Mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea is fulfill her duties and responsibilities with respect to the municipal code and advertise for a vacancy on the Forest & Beach Commission.

Note: Forest & Beach Commissioner Nancy John is a resident of Carmel Point. Per the municipal code, only one member can be a non-resident of Carmel-by-the-Sea. (Reference 2.32.020 B. and 2.32.040 A., at end of post)

COMMENTS:

Either Mayor Sue McCloud is ignorant of the Municipal Code or she believes that she does not have to uphold her oath of office and abide by the Municipal Code. Either way, another reason why Mayor McCloud is unfit for the mayorship.

Furthermore, Mayor McCloud exhibits the behavioral habit pattern of interjecting non-germane items into her explanations as a form of distraction. For example, she stated Peggy Miller’s house is “in escrow but we don't know if the sale will go through;” per the Municipal Code, the issue is not whether a city commissioner has a property in escrow, rather the issue is whether the city commissioner is a RESIDENT of Carmel-by-the-Sea. And apparently, Forest & Beach Commissioner Peggy Miller has been living in Carmel Valley.

In short, Mayor Sue McCloud’s use of distraction is a form of deception and deceit and a reason why she is unfit for the mayorship or any other elected office.
