Nassau County board members approved minutes for meetings held May 7 and July 2, 2025, and heard a reading of multiple quasi‑judicial land‑use items that were placed on the agenda for District 1.
The board approved the minutes for the May 7, 2025 meeting and the July 2, 2025 meeting by voice vote.

The motions to approve each set of minutes were moved and seconded on the record and approved with all present voting in favor (yes: 3; no: 0; abstain: 0; absent: 1).
After the minutes, a staff member read the items designated as quasi‑judicial hearings under Florida statutes and Nassau County land‑use rules. The agenda items read into the record included:
• STR 25‑001 — Specimen tree removal permit: Applicant requests removal of one specimen tree under section 37.02(e)(2)(d) of the Nassau County Land Development Code. Owner listed as Rivergreen Estates LLC; Mark White is listed as an ISA‑certified arborist and agent associated with The Branch Manager Inc.; the item is in District 1.
• SBW 25‑007, SBW 25‑002, SBW 25‑003, SBW 25‑004 and SBW 25‑005 — Building setback waivers: Each SBW item requests approval of a building setback waiver under section 37.02(q)(1)(c) of the Nassau County Land Development Code to permit reductions in required building setbacks pursuant to section 9.02(a), (b) and (c) for single‑family dwellings in the RS‑2 zoning district. All five waiver requests list Rivergreen Estates LLC as owner and identify Mark White (ISA‑certified arborist; The Branch Manager Inc.) as agent; all are noted for District 1.
The meeting transcript records the items being read into the record but does not record any public testimony, staff recommendation, deliberation, or final action on the listed quasi‑judicial items during the excerpt provided. The items remain on the agenda as read and will require the appropriate quasi‑judicial hearing procedures and votes at a subsequent point in the meeting or at a future meeting, as required by statute and county code.
