Tree and Landscape Code Citizen’s Advisory Committee
BPNA
March 01, 2005
For the last six months a group of citizens comprised of neighborhood
representatives selected by Tampa Homeowner’s and Association (THAN), local
developers, urban foresters, and landscape architects have been meeting with
Councilwoman Linda Saul-Senaand city staff to review and make recommendations
for revisions to the Tree and Landscape Code. The committee has made
recommendations to streamline the code and to clarify and add to the technical
manual that has not been updated since 1987.Most of the discussion has
revolved around enforcement. The committee agrees that the City doesn’t have
sufficient staff to keep up with the pace of development. Hopefully, the City
will take note and used some of the income from increased fees to hire more
inspectors.
The committee continues to meet. Some of the changes include:Change to grand
tree measurement designation to 34”diameter. No point system.Change to
protected trees from 4”diameter to 10”diameter.Establishment of a “landscape
mitigation fund”. An “in lieu of”fund similar to the Tree Replacement Fund.
Recommended changes will be reviewed in a public hearing at a date to be
determned.
