AGENDA

ITEM 1: PRESENTATION- SUMMARY 2020 STREET TREE SURVEY

Marissa Barmby with CFRPC presented the results of the 2020 Street Tree Survey. She gave the requirements for the Tree City of the World requirements. This presentation is regarding the inventory of the trees that you have from the three areas that were chosen. Ms. Barmby pointed out specific areas and streets and stated that it was difficult in these areas to distinguish if these trees were City Tree’s or if they belonged to the homeowner.

ITEM 2: DISCUSSION- TREE BOARD REQUIREMENTS

Marissa Barmby with CFRPC gave presentation of the requirements we must maintain to keep our designation as a Tree City USA and a Tree City of the World. Ms. Barmby gave a description of two Tree City of the World requirements that the Tree Board has not accomplished yet, along with a few other items that need to be completed this year. Ms. Barmby states that first we need to know the status of the existing trees and recommended hiring someone with more knowledge to come do that beginning with the parks.

Discussion was held as to how to accomplish a formal tree study. Mr. Garrison stated he would be willing to donate his time to the Town and work with Town Staff if his certification met the requirement. We need to prioritize what and how this study should be done: tree plan, specific list of trees to be planted.

Mr. Garrison requested an Ordinance be developed to give specific criteria to require street trees and the planting and removal of trees.

MOTION TO DEVELOP AN ORDINANCE FOR THE REQUIREMENT OF STREET TREES AND CRITERIA OF THE PLANTING AND REMOVAL OF STREET TREES made by Joe Garrison. Seconded by Carl Warner. Passed Unanimously.

AYES: Garrison, Aguilar, Warner NAYS: None

Discussion was had as to setting up a subcommittee and making sure it follows Sunshine Law requirements. Mr. Garrison was willing to represent the Tree Board on the Subcommittee as well as it would have staff representation. Ms. Barmby will participate and provide maps for parks and Town owned property.

MOTION TO SET UP A SUBCOMMITTEE TO EVALUATE THE TREES made by Joe Garrison. Seconded by Sheila Aguilar. Passed Unanimously.

ITEM 4: DISCUSSION & ACTION: TREE TRIMMING

John Vice, Public Works Superintendent presented the updated log of all trees that have been trimmed, removed, or planted since the last meeting.

Mr. Vice requested approval for the following: 1. Jane Ave- whole street needs trimming of the trees 2. Louise Ave- whole street needs trimming of the trees 3. Sheppard Ave – trimming of low hanging trees over sidewalk areas

Mr. Garrison offered to conduct a training with Town Staff on how to properly trim the trees.

MOTION TO APPROVE REQUEST FOR TRIMMING OF THE TREES made by Sheila Aguilar. Seconded by Joe Garrison. Passed Unanimously.

AYES: Garrison, Aguilar, Warner NAYS: None

ITEM 5: DISCUSSION & ACTION: 220 FLORIDA AVENUE, RESIDENT TREE REMOVAL REQUEST

Michael Tramel Sr. - 220 Florida Ave. requested the Tree Board to consider removal of a tree from his front yard that is causing damage to the foundation of their home and is a hazard and nuisance.

Ms. Garcia states that it was being brought before the board as there is question as to whether the tree is in the town right of way or is on the resident’s property. If the tree is the towns responsibility, it would need to be removed by a professional tree removal service.

Mr. Tramel explained that he has a survey of his home, however the tree is not designated in the survey.

John Vice and Joe Garrison will evaluate the tree based on the designated markers to attempt determining where the tree sits.

MOTION TO APPROVE BOARD MEMBER GARRISON AND TOWN STAFF TO EVALUATE THE TREE made by Sheila Aguilar. Seconded by Carl Warner. Passed Unanimously.

AYES: Garrison, Aguilar, Warner NAYS: None

AGENDA ITEM 1: PROCLAMATIONS

SUBJECT: The Tree Board will recognize the proclamation presented on April 13, 2021.

ANALYSIS:

On April 13, 2021, Mayor Pennant presented an Arbor Day Proclamation received by Chair Carl Warner. The Town of Dundee will celebrate the following nationally recognized occasion in the coming weeks:

APRIL 30, 2021 – National Arbor Day National Arbor Day is observed each year on the last Friday in April. Arbor Day is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant and care for trees. Trees provide vital protection for the Earth’s topsoil from erosion, oxygen, and homes for wildlife. They also are a renewable resource that provides a variety of materials for building, fuel, and office supplies. Trees beautify our environment, provide shade on a sunny day and improve our quality of life. National Arbor Day celebrates all these things and aims for American generations to come to enjoy all the benefits trees have to offer.

CHAPTER 900. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

SECTION 905. GREENSPACE REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS

905.3 PLANTINGS IN RIGHTS-OF-WAY OF RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS – RESIDENTIAL STREET TREES

A. Intent and Purpose

It is the intent and purpose of this subsection to promote the development of residential communities in Pasco County that will promote the health, safety and general welfare of future residents of residential communities by establishing minimum standards for the planting, installation and maintenance of non-invasive trees along rights-of-ways to ensure street-lined trees in neighborhoods are esthetically pleasing, good for the environment, and cause minimal disruption to hardscapes, developed structures and roadways.

The use of trees planted along residential streets improves the aesthetic appearance of residential areas by softening the impact of paved surfaces and allowing for tree-lined streets that offer shade, encourage local wildlife habitation, offer privacy and help establish a more harmonious and relaxing residential environment.

B. Applicability

This section shall be applicable to all residential development plans submitted on or after January 1, 2017, and to single and two (2) family residential lots. C. Intent and Purpose

The intent and purpose of this section is to provide for the timely compliance with the landscaping tree preservation and replacement provisions of this Code, while recognizing and encouraging development.

D. Definition

“Residential Street Trees” shall be defined as those trees planted in accordance with a subdivision development plan and to single and two (2) family residential lots along streets and roadways which are located within the designated right-of-way.

E. General Standards

1. Trees planted in accordance with this section shall not be counted toward yard-tree minimum planting requirements as outlined in Section 905.2 of this Code, and are not required to comply with the tree diversity requirements outlined in Table 905.2-B of this Code, but can be counted toward the minimum number of replacement trees.

Page 905.3-1 Land Development Code wpdata/ldc/ldc905.3plantingsintherightsofwayresidentialsubdivisions Amendment No. 20 2. Design

a. Maintenance Responsibility. Landscaping plans must designate a person or entity, other than the County, to be responsible for maintenance of the trees planted in accordance with this subsection of the Code.

b. Where a CDD, HOA or other like entity is designated, said designee shall be responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks, shrubbery, walkways, parking areas, and all common areas located in the rights-of-way, and shall not hold individual homeowner or property owner responsible for said areas, and shall be so noted in the License and Maintenance Agreement signed with Pasco County.

c. Clear-Sight Triangle. Where a driveway/access-way intersects a road right-of-way or where two (2) road rights-of-way intersect, tree plantings shall not be located so as to interfere with the clear-sight triangle as defined in this Code.

d. Allowable Tree Types

(1) All trees planted in rights-of-way pursuant to this Code shall be of a non-invasive species, suitable for growth in the County, and shall be chosen in compliance with Table 905.3-A.

(2) Utilities and Easements. Where utilities are located either underground or above-ground, and are less than 12 linear feet from a proposed tree planting, said tree placement shall be installed using mitigation standards such as alternate sub-base materials, root barriers, or other such methods as submitted to and approved by the County (for a list of suggested preventative measures, see Table 905.3-B). Said linear footage measurement is in addition to the square footage minimum measurement. If both measurements cannot be met at said location, a tree planting is not approved for that location. Trees with a mature height of 25’ are not permitted to be planted underneath overhead power lines. Utilities shall include pressure pipes, underground and above ground utility boxes, water meters and other such structures installed for and by utility companies, but does not include storm water underdrains or sewer lines.

3. Tree plantings pursuant to this subsection of the Code shall require a County Right-of-Way Use Permit and a License and Maintenance Agreement.

4. Quality of Trees

Trees to be planted shall be Florida Grade No. 1 or better, pursuant to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry, Grades, and Standards for Nursery Plants, which is incorporated herein by reference.

A list of recommended preventative measures may be found on Table 902.99-B. Alternative preventative measures may be presented and approved during site plan review. Where site constraints or required street sections do not allow for recommended minimum green space, alternative green space may be presented and approved through site plan review, pending that applicant may provide documentation that proposed species will be supported in the provided space. Minimum landscape strip / green space required is defined as area between two hardscape surfaces. Trees shall not be placed where they will obstruct views of stop signs or other safety and traffic control signs. Trees and palms of the Phoenix type shall be placed a minimum of 30' from the face of any stop sign or safety and traffic control signs. Other types of palms with smaller heads should be placed a minimum of 15' from the face of any stop sign or safety and traffic control signs. Where overhead utilities exist, refer to governing utility standards for acceptable trees. Callistemon viminalis/Weeping Bottlebrush is prohibited due to invasive status per FEPPC. When small trees and/or multi-trunk trees are used as street trees they shall have clear trunks and be tree form. They shall be placed so as not to impede clear sight from driveways and intersections. Species that have natural characteristics to be full to ground are not recommended for planting where they may block views from drives and may cause sight clearance concerns. However they have been included in this table for use on certain roadways where appropriate. This list is not intended to restrict use of trees in right of way. Generally, median plantings may be more flexible since more green space is available so long as other requirements of LDC are met. Street trees are optional and not required by code. Where proposed within County owned and maintained rights-of-way, they may be subject to Right-of-Way Use Permit and License and Maintenance Agreement. For purpose of compliance with this ordinance, in no case shall shrubs be substituted for trees.

The Florida Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (Partners Program) has four biologists working under three offices within the state. The State Coordinator (GS-11/12) is in the Florida Ecological Services Office, Gainesville. Two biologists (GS-9/11) are under the Florida Ecological Services Office, Vero Beach, where one is co-located in Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge and the other in Avon Park Air Force Range. The Panama City Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office has the fourth Partners biologist (GS-11/12); this position shares time and is jointly funded between the Partners Program and the Fish and Aquatic Conservation (FAC) Program. An additional Partners biologist position is planned for the Panama City office (GS-9/11) and will also be jointly funded by the Partners Program and the FAC Chipola River tributary, Marianna, Florida. Installation of fish friendly culvert to benefit listed Program. The Florida Partners Program will mussels; credit: USFWS/Chris Metcalf. work collaboratively across the state with the Service’s Coastal Program on habitat improvement projects, bringing together partners and leveraging resources; the State Coordinator in Gainesville will also serve as the Team Lead to support the coordination between both programs. Florida is considered one of the most ecologically diverse states within the United States. The climate ranges from temperate in the north to subtropical in the south. From coastal, tidal saltmarshes to inland rivers, flatwoods wetlands to upland sandhills, Florida is home to 134 federally listed species and 184 federally designated at-risk species. The existing human population, along with projected population growth and further development, will continue to alter the landscape and increase impacts to wildlife.

Florida Panther Focus Area The Florida Panther Focus Area is unique within the Partners Program in placing emphasis on a species rather than a single habitat. Florida panthers can exist in many habitat types throughout their range. By working to improve habitat connectivity and function for panthers, the Partners Program simultaneously improves habitat quality for other listed species within this focus area. Historically, Partners biologists in this focus area have largely concentrated on invasive exotic plant management and implementation of prescribed burning; future efforts will maintain these habitat improvement approaches and strive to increase our opportunities to engage private landowners and build new partnerships.

STAFF ANALYSIS: Duke Energy being a Tree City organization has offered to purchase and donate a tree to be planted in Dundee in recognition of Dundee being named a Tree City USA.

The Tree Board will help determine and approve the selection of the tree, location, and event to plant the tree.

Suggested Trees to consider: - Cathedral Oak - Live Oak

Suggested Locations to consider: - Lake Marie - Johnson Park - Lake Marie Park/Playground - Lake Marie Walking Trail - Empty Lot at Lake Marie Drive

Suggested Events to consider: - Summer Park/Lake Town Clean-Up - The Town can kick off the clean-up event at the tree dedication location and begin by dedicating the tree. The Tree Board can receive donations for the event and purchase saplings to hand out at the event. After the dedication, everyone would disperse to their dedicated cleanup sites. - Tree Dedication Ceremony- The board can have a simple isolated tree dedication ceremony where the tree would be dedicated, and saplings and education materials can be distributed to those in attendance.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: None

AGENDA ITEM 7: DISCUSSION & ACTION: TREE ADOPTION/DEDICATION PROGRAM

SUBJECT: The Tree Board will discuss approval of the application for the Tree/Bench Adoption/Dedication Program in Dundee.

STAFF ANALYSIS: To raise awareness of Trees and encourage beautification of the Town, the Tree Board expressed their desire to establish a Tree and Bench Dedication Program for the Town in 2020.

Those who would like to honor or remember someone may choose a tree and/or bench to “sponsor”. The chosen tree would be dedicated to that person and a commemorative plaque would be placed at the base of the tree/bench in recognition.

After extensive research of tree/bench dedications programs in Polk County, other Florida Towns, and other states, Town staff has developed an application draft. The application packet draft includes an introduction letter, application, tree descriptions and pamphlet with proposed pricing.

Legal Counsel is drafting a Resolution to be brought before the commission that will establish the Tree/Bench Dedication Program in the Town.

The price of each option includes: - Cost of bench/tree to include shipping and handling - Cost of plaque - Installation - Maintenance

The proposed pricing is as follows: - Tree: $ - Bench: $ - Tree & Bench Combo: $

Town Staff is requesting feedback on the application and program as presented.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.

Tree and Park Bench Dedication Program Is there someone special that you would like to honor or a special memory or occasion you would like to memorialize?

Dundee Tree Board is providing an innovative way for you to celebrate an important person or memorable occasions in your life. All while providing lasting beauty to the Town of Dundee by planting tree or installing a bench at one of our beautiful parks. Step 1: To begin your dedication, choose your package.

PARK BENCH ONLY • Dedication park benches are range from $600.00. This price contains the cost of the bench, plaque w/monument, freight, installation, and maintenance. TREE AND BENCH • Dedication tree and bench dedications are $800.00. The price contains the cost of the tree, bench, plaque w/monument, freight, installation, and maintenance.

Step 2: Choose the tree and/or bench and location: • Donors may select any tree variety from the attached lists of trees that are native and determined to best for Central Florida and the chosen location. Special requests for trees not on the lists will be evaluated for hardiness, availability, and suitability. When a requested location is not able to be accommodated, Dundee staff will work with the donor to find an appropriate and acceptable alternative.

• Donors will select the bench from the attached list which has been approved by the Dundee Tree Board. All benches are made of recycled material, which are better for our environment and easy to care for. If another bench is requested, it must be approved by the Tree Board and any additional cost will be paid by the donor.

You May Request the Location Donors may request a specific location for placing their dedication from several park and Town planting locations. All location requests are reviewed and approved by the Parks and Recreation staff in coordination with the donor. Dedication trees may only be planted on designated Town property and will be installed by Dundee Parks & Recreation staff. • Installation o The spring planting season is typically February 1st through June 30th; Planting seasons are approximate and may vary according to weather and other factors. If a tree fails to thrive or dies within the first year, it will be replaced, free of charge by town staff during the next planting season.

o Upon receipt, it will take approximately six weeks to complete installation of the park bench. Benches can be installed year around dependent on weather.

Step 3: Create your Dedication and tell your story: • Donors will be able to customize a memorial 4”x6” plated plaque to be installed with their dedication, with a maximum of 3-4 lines.

NATIVE TREE LISTS

In addition to providing shade and beauty to our natural landscape, trees provide numerous benefits for people and wildlife including habitat for frogs, birds, and squirrels. The species listed below are native to Florida and well adapted to the climate and growing conditions in Polk County.

Large Trees (more than 40 feet tall) - Cypress Pine Tree (Taxodium distichum) These beautiful trees can live up to 600 years and make a great addition to any property, adding an attractive vertical accent. In the autumn, the feathery foliage of bald cypress will change to a copper color before falling off. The leaves return in the spring with a flush of green.

- Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) These stately trees can grow up to 90 feet tall, depending on the cultivar, and have lustrous, evergreen foliage that makes a great backdrop for other garden plants. In the spring and summer, Southern magnolias produce creamy white flowers that have a lemony smell and can be as large across as dinner plates.

- Sweet Bay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana) This magnolia is a graceful southern, evergreen to semi- evergreen, wide columnar tree, ideal for use as a patio tree or specimen. It can grow to a mature height of 50 feet in the north or to 60 feet in the south. Trees glimmer in the wind due to the whitish-green undersides of the leaves, they are very noticeable as you drive by them.

- Winged Elm (Ulmus alata) A North American native, this fast-growing deciduous tree is quickly identified by the corky, wing-like projections which appear on opposite sides of twigs and branches. Branches rise through the crown, then bend in a sweeping manner toward the ground. The size of the wings varies greatly from one tree to another.

- Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) Live oaks are large, picturesque trees that grace many Southern yards with deep, inviting shade. These stately trees can grow up to 60 feet tall, with a spread of up to 100 feet. With the potential for a six-foot-diameter trunk, they need plenty of room to expand.

Medium Trees (25-40 feet tall) - Trumpet Tree (Tabebuia: heterophylla, pallida, aurea, chrysanthus) Traditionally known as Tabebuia, Trumpet trees are loved for their dazzling display of blossoms that burst forth ahead of their leaves in spring. There are multiple varieties of this tree with blossoms including, white/pale pink, pink, yellow and golden.

- Mastic (Mastichodendron foetidissimum) The Mastic is a large growing tree casting deep shade as it grows older. Greenish flowers produced during the warm months are followed by an edible fruit that creates a mess when it falls to the ground. The rounded canopy makes Mastic well suited for planting as a shade tree in parks and on large commercial landscape, but not recommended as a street tree.

Small Trees (less than 30 feet tall) - Crapemyrtle (Lagerstroemia Indica) These versatile shrubs come in range of shapes and sizes, from four feet to twenty feet. This tree produces dazzling blooms all summer long and is well-adapted to both heat and drought. And during the winter months, the bark of these shrubs and small trees can add interest to any landscape. - Bottlebrush (Callistemon spp.) The bottlebrush plant is a must for gardeners looking to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Named for its distinctive flowers, this evergreen has bright red flower spikes that are reminiscent of a bottle washer. - European Fan Palm (Chamaerops humilis) The fine-textured fronds make this palm stand out from other plants in the landscape. Leaf color ranges from lovely light green to stunning silver. The fronds are held on curved, short trunks. Small clusters of yellow flowers form in the spring and are followed by inconspicuous fruits.

4 Note: Contributions or donations to Town of Dundee Tree Board Tee and Park Bench Dedication Program are tax deductible under section 170 [c] of the Internal Revenue Code.

- Eagleston Holly (Ilex x atteneuata 'Eagleston') This tree is good for hedges, screens, foundation planting and is a beautiful evergreen shade tree.

- Turkey Oak (Quercus laevis) Turkey oaks feature foliage that has a classic oak-leaf shape. And thanks to their bright red foliage in the fall and highly textured bark, they are interesting trees to look at no matter what the season.
