arborist shall keep a permanent record of all trees so designated by the city commission.
Specimen trees are all canopy trees (other than trees that are structurally defective or
unsound that cannot be recovered by pruning, "tindesiahle 4ees-fidentified in Appendix ^
dead trees or diseased trees) which have a DBH of twenty-four (24) inches or more.
Designation as an historic tree may occur in any one of the following ways:
(1) Air appheant property owner may request designation of an historic tree as part of any
master plan, preliminary subdivision plat, or site plan application. To do so, the
appheant property owner shall submit an expert evaluation by a landscape architect,
horticulturalist, city forester, or other horticultural expert as part of the application.
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No.2020-03
Page 13 of 73
(2) A property owner may request such designation at any time. To do so, the property
owner shall submit an expert written evaluation by a landscape architect,

(3) The city's arborist may recommend such designation at any time including as part of
their review of any application for development, stating in writing their reasons for such
designation, or may make such designation as part of an overall tree protection planning
program for the city or portion thereof.
(4) The City Commission may designate, at its sole discretion, a city tree, as defined in
section 5-3, a historic tree sua sponte, or upon request of a Winter Springs resident,
business owner or civic _groin
(45) Historic tree designations shall be subject to approval by resolution of the city
commission and the city commission may grant double tree replacement credits, upon
granting an historic tree designation.
(b) Removal. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, specimen or historic trees
(hereinafter under this subsection "specimen tree") shall not be removed except for
extraordinary circumstances and hardships and only by final permit approved by the ei
fnaaager---city commission pursuant to section 5-6(b) after consideration of a written
recommendation by the city arborist and department director and only after the applicant has
provided such documentation, as may be required by the city, demonstrating that the
applicant has engaged in good faith in the following sequence of actions, in the order shown
below, to attempt to preserve, modify, and relocate the specimen tree:
(1) Preserve the existing specimen tree on site. The applicant shall make reasonable efforts
to design proposed or existing improvements, including but not limited to the structure,
driveway and utilities to accommodate the natural growth of the tree. The applicant shall be
required to submit multiple alternate development plans, demonstrating that reasonable
efforts to preserve the specimen tree have been made, prior to removal of the specimen tree
being aproved. The design may include and justify the consideration of any necessary
variances or waivers under chapter 20 of the city code. The city may require root barriers as
a mitigation measure to address future potential root damage concerns.
(2) Modify the existing specimen tree. The applicant shall make reasonable efforts to design
proposed or existing improvements, including but not limited to, the structure, driveway,
and utilities, to accommodate the existing specimen tree with modifications by root pruning
or tree pruning that would not cause significant harm to the tree, as determined by an
arborist certified by the International Society of Arboriculture, and preserve its well-being as
determined under this chapter. The aplicant shall be required to submit an opinion of a
certified arborist and/or multiple alternate development plans, demonstrating that reasonable
efforts to modify t�pecimen tree have been made, prior to removal of the specimen tree
being approved. The design may include and justify the consideration of any necessary
variances or waivers under chapter 20 of the city code. The ci . may require root barriers as
a mitigation measure to address future potential root damage concerns.
(3) Relocate the existing specimen tree on-site. The applicant shall submit documentation
from an arborist certified by the International Society of Arboriculture, which conforms to
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No.2020-03
Page 14 of 73
industry standards and which includes an opinion regarding whether the specimen tree may
be relocated on-site to a location that can accommodate the natural growth of the tree
without significant harm to the tree. The relocation may include and justify the consideration
of any necessary variances or waivers under chapter 20 of the city code. The city may
require root barriers as a mitigation measure to address future potential root damage
concerns.
(4) Alternative Design and Removal. Before removal of the specimen tree may be approved,
the applicant shall provide documentation that actions (1)(2) and (3) have been reasonably
explored and are not feasible to preserve, modify, or relocate the existing specimen tree(s).
Feasibility shall be determined by the city commission after evaluating the prepared
alternate development plans and opinion of the certified arborist that the specimen trees)
cannot reasonably be preserved, modified, or relocated. The alternative development plans
shall depict site constraints and design limitations due to the specimen tree(s). The alternate
development plans shall also depict possible adjustments of building orientations and other
proposed improvements, requests for variances and waivers to accommodate the specimen
tree(s), reduction of developable area, and such other design alternatives for the site. The
applicant bears the burden of proving it has exhausted feasible development plans to
preserve existing specimen tree(s) in order to justify the removal of any existing specimen
tree.
(5) Extraordinary Circumstances and Hardships. The applicant bears the burden of
demonstrating that an extraordinary circumstance and hardship exists to justify the removal
of a specimen tree is necessary and can not be preserved in its current location pursuant to
the sequence of actions set forth in this subsection (b) and by utilizing the tree removal
conditions set forth in section 5-4(b) of this chapter.
(6) Waiver or Variance Permit Fees. City permit fees related to any waiver or variance
Uplication(s) submitted by an pplicant under chapter 20 of the City Code, which are
required to preserve the specimen tree(s)under this section, shall be waived by the 01Y.
(7) Tree Replacement Requirements. Notwithstanding an.. other of this chapter,
for each specimen tree permitted to be removed under this section, replacement of the lost
tree canopy resulting from the removal of a specimen tree is imperative. The ci . may
require up to twice the amount of canopy replacement trees or tree bank contribution
required for replacement of each DBH protected tree in the category of 16" inches up to 24"
inches. Location of the replacement trees shall be on-site and determined b,. t�pplicant. If
the replacement trees cannot be accommodated on-site because of insufficient planting area
as determined by the city arborist, then the applicant shall be required by the city to either
plant the replacement trees off-site at a location determined by the ci . or provide the
replacement trees to the city so the cily can plant the replacement trees off-site, or, as an
alternative, shall provide the tree bank contribution to compensate for those replacement
trees that cannot be accommodated on-site.
(8) Appeal of City manager Decisions. Final permit decisions made by the city manager are
subject to appeal to the city commission pursuant to subsection 5-16(b) of this chapter.
(c) Historic tree incentives. Property owners shall receive the following incentives if their
property contains one or more designated historic tree(s):
City of Winter Springs
Ordinance No.2020-03
Page 15 of 73
(1) Each historic tree will be placed on the city's register of historic trees which will
contain any historical information about the tree, property owner(s) and its designation. A
legal instrument will be prepared by the city attorney to be executed by the ci . and propem
owner and recorded against the land on which the tree is located for purposes of denoting
the historic tree designation and protections afforded hereunder and to provide the city
ingress and egress to conduct the inspections authorized by this section. Further, the
property owner will be provided a small weather resistant ground emblem denoting the
historic designation.
(2) With permission of the property owner, the city arborist will conduct a periodic

(a) Tree replacement. All trees that are removed or destroyed and subject to replacement by
this chapter shall be replaced by a species of tree cited in Appendix B, desifable 4
Desirable Trees, or cited in Appendix C for Approved Streetscape Canopy Tree Types for
streetscape trees along S.R. 434 and Tuskawilla Road, or such other trees properly approved
by the city arborist provided the replacement satisfies the minimum guidelines set forth in
this chapter including, but not limited, size, not an invasive species, and Florida Grades and
Standard One (1) or better plant. Replacement shall occur prior to the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy (if approval is pending) or within sixty (60) days of removal or
destruction, whichever date is earlier, unless a greater replacement period is provided for
good cause by permit.
(b) Criteria for replacement trees is as follows:
(1) Characteristics of replacement trees. Canopy trees are preferred replacement trees
under this chapter. The replacement tree(s) shall have the maximum amount of potential
shade canopy feasible and sustainable on the site as required by the city, but no less
than at least equal shade canopy potential, screening properties, and/or other
characteristics comparable to that of the tree(s)requested to be removed.
(2) Size of replacement trees. Replacement tree(s) are to be made according to the tree
replacement standards set forth in Table 1 [at the end of this section]; or (2) otherwise
agreed upon by the city commission and applicant.

comply with the purpose and intent of this chapter and a tree replacement fee is
paid to the city's "tree bank," which is hereby established. Monies collected in the
tree bank shall be used for enhancement and maintenance of ci trees on public
lands. The contribution to the tree bank may be waived by the city commission for
individual homeowners, on a case-by-case basis, if the homeowner can demonstrate
that the payment of the fee will cause the homeowner an undue economic hardship.
Substitute tree(s) allowed under this waiver provision must have the approval of the
city commission. The amount to be paid into the tree bank shall be set forth in
Table 1 and should be based upon wholesale market value of the trees being
replaced,plus installation and maintenance costs to establish the tree.

C. If the city commission determines, due to site conditions or configuration, it is
impossible or impracticable for the applicant/developer to meet the requirements
for tree replacement, under this subsection, the city commission may allow the
applicant/developer to pay into the city's "tree bank" the amount it would have
spent on replacement trees.
d. Tree replacement credit above the 1:1 standard replacement requirement shall be
allowed for the installation of preferred canopy trees and plants that are specifically
listed in aeeofdanee with the . A fet4, in Appendix B: Desirable Trees
