§ 27-450. Replacement stock.

(a)

In all cases wherein this Code shall require replacement of any tree removed, the replacement shall be made with "replacement stock" as defined in this section. "Replacement stock" is hereby defined as any tree contained on the city tree list, having a height of at least ten (10) feet, with a minimum caliper of four (4) inches for shade trees, or eight (8) feet in height, with a minimum caliper of one (1) inch for ornamental or understory trees, and Florida Nursery Grade of Number 1 or better. Survival of replacement stock will be guaranteed until said replacement stock shall meet the definition of a tree as defined in article I of this Code.

(b)

City tree list: Replacement trees shall be selected from the following list. This list was generated based on species hardiness, disease- and pest-resistance, availability and size variance. It is not the intent to unreasonably limit the selection of replacements. Therefore, replacement trees not included on the city's tree list but suggested by the applicant may be considered, and approved or denied, during the arbor permit application process.
