Tw az Plant lady Ben and Pat Frisch Re: 365 81h Street Tree Removal Permit: Denied CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH Department of Community Development 800 Seminole Road Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 Phone: (904) 247-5800 Fax: (904) 247-5845 Internet: www.coabms TREE REMOVAL PERMIT The tree application submitted seeks to remove 120" of protected trees, while preserving 0" of unprotected trees. Tree mitigation is calculated at a rate of 1 inch preserved and/or planted for every 2 inches removed. This means the submitted tree removal permit is 60" short of the required mitigation. There are three methods to reach the required 60" of mitigation: 1. Plant additional trees to reach a total of 60" of new trees. 2. Pay into the city's tree fund at the rate of $49 per inch for a total of $2940.00 for mitigation of 60". 3. Complete any combination of options 1 and 2 that results in the mitigation of 60". Regardless of method chosen for mitigation, Old Atlantic Beach Design Standards do require that one shade tree be preserved or planted in the front yard and an additional shade tree be located elsewhere on site. Once plans are received and reviewed by the city for the two required shade trees and any additional plantings, the amount of additional mitigation required will be updated.

The retail value shall be calculated by taking the average of the median current wholesale price, published by North Florida nurseries. for a container grown, and a balled and burlapped two-inch caliper laurel oak, multiplied by two (2).
