DISCUSSION:
City Code Review: Chapter 102. DIVISION 2. LAND CLEARING
Chapter 102 -45. Minimum Tree Requirement
Council reviewed from the previous Council Meeting that Section 102-45 (a) and (b) will
be removed and placed in a different section.
Mr. Dunn suggested adding to section 10245(b) "or fraction thereof".
102 -46. Tree Protection During Development and Construction: Periodic Inspection
Attorney Garganese responded to Mr. Russell that a development agreement is codified
in the Florida Statutes and utilized by Council when certain mitigating circumstances
arise. Mr. Russell asked who decides when the City mitigates or when a development
agreement is utilized? Mr. Russell further explained that the board was not aware of the
agreements and would often write conditions on the actual site plan. Mr. Russell added
that development agreements would be a great tool to utilize. Mr. Russell reiterated
that there is no automatic call for a development agreement in the current code. There
was discussion about Martin Greene's development.
102 -46(b)
The Board and Council agreed to change line 4 to "Replacement Trees for two years
(rather than one year) from completion of permitted construction."
102 -46(c)
Mr. Russell suggested that a separate tree survey layer be submitted. Mr. Morley
replied a tree survey overlay will now be required.
102 -46(d)
The Council and Board suggested adding "Building Official, or Designee may conduct
periodic inspections of the site. Attorney Garganese stated he will define Building
Official in the definitions section.
102 -47. Voluntary Tree Planting.
City Council and the Board agreed to add "except undesirable trees which are
prohibited" to end of first sentence in 102 -47.

102 -48. Waivers, Incentive Programs and Appeals.
102 -48(b)
Mr. Dunn noted that Line six of 102 -48(b) should read "City Manager" rather than
"Council".
102 -48(3)
The Council and Board noted a change on line one from "City Commission" to "City
Council'.
Mr. Russell pointed out the code should reflect that the Planning and Zoning Board can
recommend to Council a footprint change in order to preserve trees. Attorney
Garganese replied that he could add a provision in section 102-42 page 17 of the
Ordinance.
Mr. Russell requested that section 102 -40(1)(2)(3) contain verbiage indicating that any
trees removed must be replaced.
Attorney Garganese explained that a credit or incentive would include planting mature
trees on a site from the preferred list.
