FROM:Charles D.Scurr /J/IL \p^RE:Agenda Item #
City Manager (yflQ^^Dante Fascell Park Tree Program
REQUEST
Commission approval issoughtforan expenditure toinitiateatree replacement and planting
program atDanteFascellPark.Specifically,the proposed planwill:(a)trim23 Australian pine
trees throughout the park;(b)remove 10 Australian pines,replacing fourof these with flowering
trees;and(c)plantnineadditionaltreesthroughoutthepark.
BACKGROUND
DanteFascellParkisthe city's largestpassivepark,rivaledonlyby Fuch's Parkinsizeand
density of tree canopy.While the park boasts numerous species of native trees and has recently
benefitedfromtheplanting of liveoak,royalpoinciana,andlysolomatrees,italsoishomefor
the undesirable Australian pine tree.This pervasive tree specie is listed in Miami-Dade County's
Prohibited Trees List (attached).
Presently,19 large pines line the west boundary of Dante Fascell Park,while another 14 pines
are scattered aboutthe park.Intheeventofa major stormor hurricane,thesheer height of these
pinesmakeitapotentialthreattosome of thesinglefamilyhousesonthewestsideofSW 58th
Avenue.Anumber of otherlargepinesare located nearthepicnicpavilionsclosetoSW 57th
Avenue.These trees pose a potential threat to people andthe structures nearby.On May 17'\
theCityAdministrationheldacommunitymeetingatthepark.Consensuswasreachedatthis
meetingtoremoveandtrimanumber of Australianpines.Thedetails of this recommendation
are provided inthe Analysis section below.
ANALYSIS
Despite its "marked"status,Australian pine provides significant shade due toits imposing height
and dense foliage.Scaling backtheir height and gradually replacing thetreesis therefore more
desirable than eliminating all of the pines in one effort.This consideration as well budgetary
constraintscallforaphased-inremovalprogram.
AcollaborationamongtheParksDepartment,PublicWorksandmembers of theresidential
communityhasledtothefollowingplan:
1.Four dead pine trees within the park will be fully removed and replaced with two
jacarandatreesandtwoyellowpoincianatrees.
