After review, the ESC is making a formal nomination of this tree. According to City Code Section 23-41 (a), "The City Commission may by resolution designate individual heritage trees." Although a Heritage Tree designation does not prevent a tree from ever being removed, it makes it more difficult and costly to remove. Per the Tree Protection Code, heritage trees must be mitigated at a higher rate than any other protected trees in the City. On private property, heritage trees are voluntarily nominated by the property owner. According to the Tree Protection Code, the City Commission may by resolution designate individual heritage trees on private or public property. Heritage Trees are defined as "any tree determined by the City Commission to be of unique or intrinsic value due to its age, size, species and/or cultural, ecological or historical significance or some other contribution to the city's character, specifically including all cypress, live oak, and magnolia trees with a diameter 30 inches or greater. The proposed heritage is estimated to be approximately 128 years old. This tree has been nominated because of their intrinsic value due to its size and age. BUDGET: Less than $200 on a marker identifying the heritage tree RECOMMENDATION: Commission review and vote on Resolution No. 23-01 ATTACHMENT(S): (1) Resolution No. 23-01 (2) PowerPoint Presentation — Heritage Tree Designations 2023 REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER: Page 61 of 68 Agenda Item #8.A. 09 Jan 2023 RESOLUTION NO. 23-01 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA, DESIGNATING A 32 -INCH -DIAMETER LIVE OAK TREE AT BULL PARK NEAR THE PLAYGROUND AS A HERITAGE TREE.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City Commission of the City of Atlantic Beach hereby designates a 32 -inch -diameter Live Oak at Bull Park near the playground as a "Heritage Tree."
