Post Clearing Requirements: 1. Mitigation: Mitigation requirements are to be met through onsite preservation of 92 inches dbh of live and/or laurel oaks and 8 cabbage palms. During a site visit on 7/17/15, ERD staff noted that sufficient trees are identified for preservation, to meet and exceed the mitigation requirement. 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 3.75 acres (acres X 43,560 = square feet of this property) 163,350 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. Since this property contains well over this amount of inches of native trees, this requirement can be met by preserving remaining trees onsite. Please note that landscaping requirements are separate from, and in addition to, tree mitigation requirements. l PLEASE NOTE: • THIS IS NOT AN AUTHORIZATION TO PLACE FILL ON OR RE -GRADE PROPERTY. • PLEASE CONTACT A PROFESSIONAL SURVEYOR TO DETERMINE IF YOUR PROPERTY IS AFFECTED BY OR LIES WITHIN A FLOODPLAIN. • THE APPLICANT SHALL KEEP THIS EXEMPTION POSTED ON -SITE AT ALL TIMES DURING LAND CLEARING. • THE PROPERTY OWNER AND/OR AGENT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING ALL APPLICABLE STATE AND/OR FEDERAL PERMITS. e a p s e ` s4� a . ` C; r <
