It’s frustrating to be waiting until we are attempting to get a CO to handle this issue when we
brought it up over a year ago and made it known that palms were removed and not by the builder,
and now we are being penalized.
Please let me know, in entirety, what you need from us asap.
Thanks for your help.

Hello again,
We got word from JEA that a palm was removed on 11/13/2020. You will not be required to mitigate for this tree.

Robert,
Following up with our phone conversation.
Regarding tree #8, we will need record from JEA stating they removed the tree. We cannot accept letters from neighbors
attesting to the removal by JEA.
The chart below shows the ratios used when calculating mitigation. This property is classified as “New Construction” and will
be charged with double mitigation.
Upon receipt of mitigation calculations, you have the option to submit an appeal to the ESC Tree Subcommittee or a variance
to the Community Development board. Below is information on both of these processes.
APPEAL
· Request to appeal must be filed in writing within 5 business days of receipt of mitigation calculations.
· The ESC Tree Subcommittee will review the application for compliance with Chapter 23. For example, they will
review how the mitigation calculations were applied, if the DBH of trees were properly assessed, species were
properly identified, etc.)
· The Tree Subcommittee will vote to approve the appeal (chapter 23 was not correctly assessed), deny the appeal
(staff correctly applied chapter 23), or approve with conditions (certain parts of chapter 23 were applied correctly).
VARIANCE
· Chapter 23 Variance application must be submitted
· Request will be placed on the regularly scheduled meeting date for the CDB (3rd Tuesday of each month)
· The CDB must find that one of the following hardships are present to grant a variance. The property owner has the
burden of proof to show that the application fits into one of the 4 criteria:
A .Existing topographic elevation changes that would result in the likelihood that preserved or planted materials would
not survive.
b. Existing electrical lines or utility easements that prevent or restrict the preservation or planting of landscape
materials.
c. Barrier island or dune ecosystem planting conditions that cannot support certain hardwood species.
d. Designs and plans that, to the greatest extent feasible, avoid encroachment upon preservation areas and/or trees.
· The CDB will vote to approve the variance (find that criteria is met), deny the variance (criteria was not met), or
approve with conditions (criteria was met, but additional conditions shall be applied). For example, you request to
have no mitigation. The CDB finds that criteria is met, but place a condition that you must meet ½ of the required
mitigation.
I hope all of this information clears up your options moving forward. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Good morning,
I have received your tree removal permit application and added it to our system. Since this permit was submitted after trees
were removed, this is considered after-the-fact and will require double permit fees ($125 X2) and double mitigation. The
check included with the application was processed, so $125.00 is the remaining balance. Payment can be made over the
phone via Visa or Master Card at 904 247 5837 or a check can be dropped off at City Hall (800 Seminole Rd).
In addition, page 2 of the permit application was not signed. This page explains the permitting process. Please sign this page
and return to me via email or at City Hall.
https://www.coab.us/DocumentCenter/View/13101/Tree-Removal-Permit-Application-08052021?bidId=
Please see the attached staff notes. The submitted site plan did not include 2- 14” trees removed in the front yard and within
the foot print of the house. These will be included in the mitigation calculations. Trees #3 and #4 did not have diameters at
breast height and are not protected. Please see the picture below that depicts the trees in the front yard.
What to expect moving forward:
· Staff will complete the mitigation calculations based off the trees removed.
· Staff will send the applicant calculations and mitigation details/requirements.
· The applicant will send a proposed mitigation plan that accounts for all inches owed.
· With receipt of a successful plan, staff will approve the permit. Mitigation must be planted within 30 days of permit
approval.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Ashley,
Correct, trees must be on the subject property and may not be planted in the ROW or retention areas. A potential location on this
property is directly north of the driveway or on the south side of the lot. This is why we require a tree removal permit to be pulled
and approved prior to removal of trees and development of the lot, so landscaping and location requirement can be taken into
consideration during the design process.

Good morning!
Could you all please make a recommendation of where they could be planted?
1. They have to be planted on Mr. Hipp’s lot, which is very limited in size.
2. They are not permitted in the ROW
3. They are not permitted in the retention area.
We have submitted 3 plans that are not to your satisfaction. In efforts of getting this completed correctly asap, could you please
make recommendations as to where, on the property, we can plant the trees for mitigation?
Thanks so much!

residence. I have also attached the proposal for these palms. Please let me know if there are any
modifications that need to be made.
Thank you!

Can you mark the 4 trees you discussed planting with Robert Hipp on the existing plan and notate in red so we can
submit to COAB.
They are holding our CO.

Hello Robert,
We understand it difficult getting landsacape architect, architects, engineers and have no issue
with you submiiting your plan a fews days late.
Per Section 23-23 € We cannot issue a certificate of occupancy unless the trees are planted.
“Expiration of permits. Work pursuant to the permit shall commence within six (6) months of the
date of issuance, or the permit shall expire. If the tree removal permit is in connection with a
development permit, compliance with the tree removal permit shall be determined before the
applicable development permit's final inspection, or issuance of certificate of completion or
certificate of occupancy, as applicable.”

Good morning Amanda,
Per our conversation, I am pursuing landscape architects to do a remediation plan. As I mentioned, I am trying to
meet the 5 day window to submit a remediation plan but the landscape companies are all very busy. I will advise on a
realistic timeline after I get a commitment from one of them..
From reading online it appears that once the remediation plan is approved, we can obtain our C.O. and have 30 days
to implement the plan and have it inspected by COAB. Is that correct?
Thank you,
Robert

Hello Robert,
After we chatted, I had the opportunity to review the tree mitigation for your property. In this
case, the code does not allow staff to deviate on the required mitigation.
As Abrielle mentioned below you do have two options available:
1. Apply for a variance to reduce the required mitigation (Section 23-25 (b)of the code). This
is a public hearing and is heard before the Community Development Board.
2. Appeal the administration interpretation of the code (Section 23-25 (a)(1). Technically, this
process does not grant relief from the code it deals with staff’s administration of the code.
If you want to move forward with either option we’ll be happy to help you out.

Ashley,
A permit is required for removing any protected trees. The permit was passed by zoning because a Tree and
Vegetation Affidavit was submitted by you certifying that no trees were removed or will be removed. Please also
refer to the emails with Brian Broedell on February 2, 2021 confirming a permit is needed for trees that “will be or
were removed”.
You are in violation of this affidavit and Chapter 23, therefore double mitigation and permit fees are assessed with
the after the fact permit. It does not matter if the trees were removed by the builders or a separate entity. Trees were
removed without a permit and approval, therefore this is an after the fact permit and meeting the requirements is the
responsibility of the property owner.
You have the option to submit a variance application to the CDB or appeal to the ESC tree subcommittee. I provided
Robert with information on these processes, but please let me know if you would like more information.

Yes, that correspondence is correct. We the builders did not remove any trees from the property but we did have the
two palms identified on our approved on out site plan to come out. Is there a way to not be charged 4x mitigation on
the trees noted on our approved plan?

Ashley and Robert,
Attached is an email stream from 01.13.2021 to 04.01.2022. In this, it is stated that no trees were removed or were
being removed from the property. Additionally, the builders submitted a tree and vegetation affidavit (attached)
which affirms no regulated trees will be removed from the property.
Any regulated trees planned for removal requires a tree removal permit application to be submitted and approved
prior to tree removal. That was not done for the palms removed from the property, therefore the tree removal permit
application is after-the-fact for all trees.
Section 23-51(d) “Sanctions for failure to obtain a permit” enforces a double application fee and double mitigation
assessment for after the fact permits.
The property is classified as new construction. As shown below, the normal rate for trees that are “equal to or greater
than 14” and less than 30”” is 1:2 (inches removed : inches owed). Per the normal rate, a 14” tree = 28” of
mitigation owed. Since this is an after the fact permit, mitigation ratios are doubled, and the rate for removal of a 14”
tree is 1:4.
Section 23-33(f)(2) states “Incentive credit shall be granted for the use of Designated Maritime Species when
replacing regulated trees that are not a Designated Maritime Species. The incentive credit is equal to two (2) times
the normal replacement credit”. A 5” live oak shall receive double credit when replacing a palm, therefore you
received 20” of credit for planting 2- 5” live oaks.

Hi Abrielle,
Could you please send us the ordinance showing the double mitigation?
We want to read and understand how the double mitigation works.
Can you also please explain why are getting charged 4x for the palms but only 2x credit for the live oaks?
We’re hoping reading the ordinance will provide clarity on why it isn’t the same math.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Abrielle,
Two of the 14” trees (1 & 2) are on the Glenn Layton building permit to be taken out. Therefore, they
should not be double mitigation, correct?
Thank you,
Robert

Good morning,
Please see the attached mitigation calculations for the after-the-fact tree permit at 187 East
Coast Drive. As previously stated, mitigation is double due to removal without a permit. A
total of 168” of mitigation is owed, which is equivalent to $25,200.00 ($150.00 per inch
owed).
Two 5” live oak trees have already been planted on the property, which accounts for 20” of
mitigation. As a result, 148” of mitigation remain ($22,200.00).
Please see the information below about planting requirements:
Mitigation must be met in the form of planting trees on site, paying into the tree fund,
or a combination of the two.
All new trees must be selected from the attached approved species list.
Planting maritime species will result in double credit (ex: 4” live oak = 8” of credit)
All new oak trees must have a minimum 4” caliper and 12 feet tall at time of planting.
All other new species must have a minimum 2” caliper and be 10 feet tall at time of
planting.
All new palm trees must have 8 feet of clear trunk height at time of planting.
Once a mitigation plan is submitted and approved, you will have 30 days to plant
mitigation and/or 7 days to pay the mitigation rate.\
Example mitigation plans:
· Plant 4 -5” maritime species (40” credit), 4 -10” palm trees. Pay of 68” = $10,200
· Plant 10 -10” palms. Pay for 48” = $7,200.00
The next step is submit a proposed mitigation plan. Please provide a survey or site plan
showing the location of new trees, the species, and caliper size.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
