advance the goals of preservation and enhancement of the eco-
logical balance of the natural environment; the protection and
replenishment of native trees and vegetation; improvement of
water quality and promotion of water conservation; increasing

buffering incompatible land uses; promoting energy conservation;
minimizing negative effects in the natural environment created by
impervious surfaces; promoting the preservation of rare, endanger-
ed or threatened vegetative or wildlife species and their

tion of the undesirable species listed in Appendix B
of this Chapter, having a diameter (dbh) of one and
one -half (1 -1/2) inches or greater.
2. Vegetative Buffer Areas: Where a vegetative
buffer is required by the Landscaping Ordinance, any
natural vegetation within the required buffer area
(see Appendix A), with the exception of the
undesirable species listed in Appendix B of this
Chapter, shall be preserved. This shall include

C. Removal Criteria.
1. A protected tree, as specified in paragraph
(B), above may only be approved for removal if one
or more of the following criteria are met:
a. Where site design modifications, as deter-
mined by a pre - clearing inspection, are not feas-
ible to allow the use permitted, as determined by
the specific zoning of the subject property;
b. Where the trunk of a protected tree is
located closer than five (5) feet of the founda-
tion of the proposed structure, and it is not
feasible to relocate the structure.
c. Where the trunk of a protected tree is
located closer than ten (10) feet from the founda-
tion of the proposed structure and the tree is
considered having an agressive root system and /or
the natural mature height is greater than thirty
(30) feet and it is not feasible to relocate the
structure.
d. Where the location of the tree prevents
the direct access to the property from a publicly
dedicated and maintained roadway and /or where the
tree constitutes a hazard to pedestrian or vehi-
cular traffic which cannot be mitigated without
removing the tree. Removal of the tree pursuant
Ordinance No. 22 -90
Page 6 of 10
to this criterion shall be exempt from the
replacement criteria in sub - section (D) below.
e. Where the location of the tree prevents
the construction of utility lines, drainage

persons, property, site improvements, or other
trees. Removal of a protected tree pursuant to
this criterion shall be exempt from the
replacement criteria in sub - section (D) below.

a non- residential development more than fifty
percent (50 %) of the lineal footage of the lot
along the roadway to which the project has
primary frontage.
2. There shall be no clearing, except hand
clearing, within the dripline of any protected tree
or other trees selected to be preserved for land-
scaping credit. Where no native vegetation exists
within the dripline, pervious paving, bricking, or
any other material which does not restrict the
health and growth of a protected or preserved tree
may be utilized.
3. The natural grade may not be altered within
the projected dripline of the tree except in
accordance with the Florida Department of Forestry
Tree Protection Manual, pp. 14 -18, or comparable
accepted protective measures.
D. Replacement Criteria: Where the removal of a
protected tree meets any one or more of the criteria
identified in sub - section (C) above, the developer may
choose one of the following options:
1. The developer shall provide one or more
native trees to replace the removed tree where the
total dbh of the replacements is equal to one
hundred percent (100%s) of the total dbh of the tree
or trees removed, provided that the height above
soil level is at least ten (10) feet. Replacement
trees shall have a minimum of a dbh of two (2)
inches.
2. The developer may relocate or transplant the
protected tree elsewhere on the same lot or parcel
of land or public land or private land within the
City of Cape Canaveral.
3. On a heavily wooded lot, the developer may
pay a fee equal to fifty dollars ($50.00) per inch
of dbh of the tree or trees removed in lieu of
replacement. Said fee will be deposited into the
City's Environmental Trust Fund for the acquisition
of environmentally sensitive lands and revegetation
of public lands.
4. No replacement is necessary if the removal is
done pursuant to the criteria in Section 657.05 (C)
(1) (c),(d) or (f).

APPENDIX A
LIST OF :SIDED LANDSCAPING PLANTS
The following list of trees and plants is intended to provide a guide to the developer
and haneowner in selecting appropriate vegetation for proposed landscaping plans.
Native vegetation is considered ideal for landscaping since these plants have became
adapted to Brevard County's particular set of climatic conditions. If natives are
utilized in parallel environments to those ecosystems and in the form and size context
in which they naturally occur, a long -lived and maintenance free landscape scheme will
result. The following list also contains recommended species which are not native to
Brevard County but can be utilized with many of the same benefits as native plants.
