Pre -Clearing Requirements: Prior to initiation of site clearing activities, the applicant shall install
barricades around preserved trees onsite.
Specific Permit Conditions: The property has 143" DBH of oak and slash pine trees not authorized for removal.
Areas outside of the development footprint shall be considered preservation/protection areas (Land Development
Code Section 6.00.05.A.2). A conspicuous protective barrier shall be placed and maintained around the
perimeter of protected area(s) of vegetation to form a continuous boundary as specified in the General Conditions
of Issuance section.
General Conditions of Issuance: The following minimum standards for vegetation protection shall be applied
to areas of vegetation designated to be preserved:
■ At a minimum distance of either ten (10) feet from the edge of groups of protected vegetation or from
the radius of the dripline from all protected trees, whichever is greater;
■ Protective barriers or protective designations shall remain in place until removal is authorized by SLC
ERD, or until issuance of a certificate of occupancy;
■ In the event that any protective barriers are removed or altered and clearing activities are conducted
within an area identified for preserve, SLC ERD is authorized to direct that all land clearing and site
alteration work at the site be stopped until the barriers are restored and any necessary corrective
actions taken to repair or replant any vegetation removed or damaged as a result of these
encroachments.
• The preserve areas and tree preservation areas shall be maintained in their natural state, so as not to alter
the water and oxygen content of the soil and impair its function;
• A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) Permit, separate from this permit, may be required for
construction activities disturbing 1 acre or more. Please visit www.dep.state.fl.us/water/stormwater/npdes or
contact Jose Vega, St. Lucie County Stormwater Program Coordinator at 772-462-1668 for more information.
• No grade changes or excavation of any sort may be made within the barricaded areas;
• If any excavation or other activities are expected outside of the preserve area or dripline, the roots should
first be pruned (to the depth of required excavation) to sever them cleanly;
• No fill material, construction material, concrete, paint, chemicals, or other foreign materials shall be stored,
deposited or disposed of within a vegetation preservation area;
• No equipment, including passenger vehicles, shall be driven, parked, or stored or repaired within designated
vegetation preservation areas.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT ANY NATIVE VEGETATION DESTROYED OR DAMAGED OUTSIDE OF THE LIMITS OF CLEARING DUE TO
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES OR FILL PLACEMENT SHALL BE MITIGATED AT A RATIO OF 4:1 (4 INCHES OF REPLANTING FOR EACH INCH
DESTROYED OR DAMAGED).
Post Clearing Requirements:
1. Mitigation: Mitigation requirements are to be met through onsite preservation of 143" DBH of oak
and slash pine trees; addition planting of 56" DBH of native canopy trees shall be required to
meet all mitigation requirements.
2. Landscaping: The landscape requirements of one native tree per 2,500 square feet of property, up to a
maximum of 17 trees, must be met. As this property is 1.29 acres (acres X 43,560 = square feet of this
property) 56,192 square feet, (square feet/2,500 = trees), 17 trees (measuring 2.5" diameter at breast
height (DBH) & 12' HT), or a total of 42.5 DBH of trees are required. Please note that landscaping
requirements are separate from, and in addition to, tree mitigation requirements.
