Step 2 : Determining impact area of proposed project. The area of existing
canopy coverage which will be affected (impact area) by the applicant's
proposed development shall be determined by the Planning Division based on
review of the submitted site plan and tree removal permit application form.
Step 3 : Determining number of replacement trees required. The total number of
trees required for replacement shall be based on the area of impact and
category of replacement tree selected by the applicant. Each replacement tree
shall compensate for a portion of the tree canopy lost in the impact area, and
the following table shall be used as a standard for determining the required
number of replacement trees:
Category of Replacement Tree Portion of Impact Area for which
(See Step 6 below for explanation) Each Replacement Tree Compensates
Shade Tree l 500 square feet replacement area
Shade Tree 2 300 square feet replacement area
Palm Tree 1 300 square feet replacement area
Palm Tree 2 100 square feet replacement area
Small Tree 200 square feet replacement area
a) Any combination of shade trees, palm trees, or small trees is acceptable
as replacement, provided the total number of trees from all replacement
categories compensate for the lost canopy.
b) In the event that a replacement tree actually has more canopy coverage
at the time of planting than the amount of credit allowed under the tree
replacement formula above, then the applicant shall receive full credit
for the actual canopy coverage provided by the replacement tree at the
time of planting.
c) The applicant shall submit a list of proposed replacement trees.
d) When replacement canopy area exceeds ten thousand (10,000) square feet,
replacement shall be described in a landscape replacement plan which
shall meet the minimum requirements of § 20-4 .5 (J) (4) and no tree
removal permit shall be issued until said plan has been approved by the
Planning Division.
e) When the total number of replacement trees exceeds twenty (20) , then the
applicant shall required to submit a landscape replacement plan
consistent with the provisions of § 20-4.5(J) (4) , and no tree removal
permit shall be issued until said plan has been approved by the Planning
Division.
Step 4: Location of replacement trees. Specific placement of replacement trees
on-site shall be determined by the applicant. If the site cannot accommodate
the required replacement trees because of insufficient planting area as
determined by the $la, r} ng t;%Yison •�hen•the applicant shall be required to
plant replacement t3:bes;at6an Off-sate lgcatjon subject to Planning Division
approval, or, as a last:alternativd, sha.LV 17ovide a contribution to. Account

Step 5 : Minimum species diversity standards. When more than ten (10) trees are .
required to be planted, in accordance with provisions of 5. 20-4.5 (J) , a
diversity of species shall be required. The number of species to be planted
shall be based on the overall number of trees required. The applicant shall be
required to meet the following minimum diversity standards:
Required Number of Trees Minimum Number of Species
11-20 2
21-50 4

a) When native trees are removed, then all replacement trees shall be
native species;. otherwise', a minimum of fifty (50) percent of all
replacement trees planted shall be native to Dade County.
b) Permittees shall not be required to plant in excess of six . (6) species .
The number of trees of each species planted shall be proportional to the
number of species required.
c) As an alternative to the minimum species diversity required herein, an
applicant may propose an alternative species diversity in an alternative
landscape enhancement plan described in § 20-4 .5 (J) (5) .
Step 6: Minimum standards for replacement trees. The Planning Division
maintains a list of species for each category of replacement tree; and, this
list may be amended from time to time. All replacement trees shall have a
minimum quality as required for. a .Florida No. l grade or better. Replacement
tree heights shall be determined by the overall height measured from where the
tree meets the ground to the top-most branch, frond or leaf.
(a) All category 1 replacement shade trees shall be a minimum of twelve (12)
feet in height at the time of planting and at maturity should have a
canopy coverage of five hundred (500) square feet under normal growing
conditions.
(b) All category 2 replacement shade trees shall be a minimum of eight (8)
feet in height at the time of planting and at maturity should have a .
canopy coverage of five hundred (500) square feet under normal growing
conditions.

.(3) Specimen Trees
The standards to be applied in reviewing tree removal permit applications
involving specimen trees are as follows:
(a) Specimen. Tree Preservation. Specimen trees shall be preserved whenever
reasonably possible, and, upon receipt of an application to remove (a)
specimen tree(s) , the Planning Division shall consider the following
factors in evaluating said application:
i. Size. and configuration of the property;
ii. Size and configuration of any proposed development,
iii. Location of- the tree relative to any proposed development;
iv. Whether or not the tree can be preserved under the proposed plan
or any alternative plan; -•
V. Health, condition and aesthetic qualities of the tree; and,
vi Whether the tree poses a threat to persons or property.
(b) Alternate plans. If, after review of above, the Planning Division
determines that (a) specimen tree(s) cannot reasonably be preserved
under a proposed plan, then the applicant shall provide: an alternate
plan, which shall include preservation of the specimen tree(s) and
design alternations consistent with the scope and intent of the
initially-proposed plan. These alterations may include, but shall not be
limited to:
i. An adjustment of building orientation on a site; and,
ii. An adjustment of lot lines within a site proposal for more than
one lot when the adjustment will not cause unreasonable loss of
usable space. An applicant shall have the burden of proof in the
determination of what constitutes an unreasonable loss of usable
space.
C) Specimen tree relocation. If preservation of the specimen tree(s) and
any alternate design consistent with the scope and intent of the initial
plan are mutually exclusive, then the Planning Division may issue a
permit to relocate the specimen tree(s) . If a tree removal permit
requires relocation, then the applicant shall be required to relocate
the tree in accordance with the standards in. § 20-4.5 (K) .
d) Removal of specimen trees. If relocation of the specimen tree(s) is not

alternative off-site replacement shall be required, or, as a last
alternative, there shall be_a contribution to Account No. 219.355, Tree
Trust Fund, for the full value of replacement trees.
g) Exemptions from specimen tree replacement requirements. Applicants may
be exempt form the replacement requirements above, but subject to the
tree replacement requirements contained in § 20-4.5 (J) (2) , under the
following circumstances:
i. Upon submittal of a statement from a landscape architect
registered in the State of Florida which indicates that: a .specimen
tree; due to disease,. condition, growth habit or any other
reasonable botanical factor, does not provide the aesthetic or
environmental contribution associated with a specimen tree. Said
statement shall include the specific reasons(s) for the claimed
exemption from these provisions;
ii. When.preservation of the specimen tree would cause a foreseeable
risk to property; or,
iii. When a site contains more than one (1) specimen tree, and fifty
(50) percent or more of the existing specimen trees and at least
fifty (50) :percent of the existing specimen tree canopy area is
preserved.
(4) Landscape Replacement Plan
Landscape replacement plans may be required under the provisions contained in
§ 20-4.5 (J) (1) . All landscape replacement plans shall be submitted by the
applicant and must meet the following minimum standards:
