Authorization
REQUEST: Public Works Department, Beautification Division, Providing the City
Commission with revised information regarding FDOT requirements for
median tree planting.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Commission item is to provide details and estimated costs
regarding canopy tree planting on the SR 434 medians in the Town Center District.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The City Commission requested further discussion regarding FDOT standards for planting
canopy trees in the SR 434 medians during the January 24,2005 Commission meeting.
FDOT requirements for installing canopy tree plantings in medians are as follows:
A. 'E' type curbing is required to be installed for the length of the planting project.
Currently, there is no curbing at asphalt edge along the SR 434 medians in the
proposed project range.
B. Medians are required to have a 'crown' in the center as FDOT does not allow
ponding (water collection during a rain event) on the medians. This would be
achieved by adding clean fill and sod to build up these areas. Relocation of irrigation
systems and existing crape myrtle trees would also be necessary in most cases.
C. Areas that are utilized for storm water run off need additional consideration to meet
FDOT standards. Requirements would be determined by a site survey during the
engineering and design process.
D. FDOT roadway sight and distance guidelines must be observed when planting canopy
trees.

Varietv of Trees
Examples of trees that can be installed for canopy are: Winged elm, Sand Live oak, Live Oak,
Magnolia, Alee Elm, and Red Oak. Installation heights of 10-14 feet or 3.0 to 4.5 inch
caliper on average can be expected.
Future Expansion
It is prudent to note that FDOT does have SR 434 slated for lane expansion within a (10)
year time period; an exact time is not currently scheduled. Many of the trees can be installed
to avoid being disturbed by the FDOT road expansion project, but curbing would likely be
removed during construction.
FUNDING:
Funding of this project would be determined at a future date based upon direction provided
by the Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend the Commission provide direction to Staff related to the scope and
future ofthis project.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
Implementation of this project will be determined at a future date.
