1. One (1) slash pine tree 20” DBH

Specific Permit Conditions: 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 regarding these requirements.
• 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.
• If underground utilities must be routed through a protected root zone area, tunneling under the roots shall
be required.
• If irrigation must be installed, it shall be installed outside of the dripline of all preserve areas and protected
trees.
• 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 signs, permits, wires, or other attachments shall be affixed or attached to protected vegetation.
• 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:

trees.
