INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor and Commission >0 DATE:May 18,1999
FROM:Charles D.Scuir/^/U^RE:Agenda Item #
City Manager (yftf**'Dante Fascell Park Tree Program
REQUEST
Commission approval is sought for an expenditure to initiate a tree replacement and planting
program at Dante Fascell Park.Specifically,the proposed plan will:(a)trim 23 Australian pine
trees throughout the park;(b)remove 10 Australian pines,replacing four of these with flowering
trees;and (c)plant nine additional trees throughout the park.
BACKGROUND
Dante Fascell Park is the city's largest passive park,rivaled only by Fuch's Park in size and
density of tree canopy.While the park boasts numerous species of native trees and has recently
benefited from the planting of live oak,royal poinciana,and lysoloma trees,it also is home for
the undesirable Australian pine tree.This pervasive tree specie is listed in Miami-Dade County's
Prohibited TreesList (attached).
Presently,19 large pines line the west boundary of Dante Fascell Park,while another 14 pines
are scattered about the park.In the event of a major storm or hurricane,the sheer height of these
pines make it a potential threat to some of the single family houses on the west side of SW 58,h
Avenue.A number of other large pines are located near the picnic pavilions close to SW 57,h
Avenue.These trees pose a potential threat to people and the structures nearby.On May I7,h
the City Administration held a community meeting at the park.Consensus was reached at this
meeting to remove and trim a number of Australian pines.The details of this recommendation
are provided in the Analysis section below.
ANALYSIS
Despite its "marked-status,Australian pine provides significant shade due to its imposing height
and dense foliage.Scaling back their height and gradually replacing the trees is therefore more
desirable than eliminating all of the pines in one effort.This consideration as well budgetary
constraints call for a phased-in removal program.
Acollaboration among the Parks Department.Public Works and members ofthe residential
community has led to the following plan:
1.Four dead pine trees within the park will be fully removed and replaced with two
jacaranda trees and two yellow poinciana trees.
