Checldist of up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

that poses a threat to property or life safety.
(Ord. No. 2016-09, § 2, 10-10-16)
Sec. 2-29. Additional rules of conduct.
(a) The mayor and city commissioners shall
adhere to the following additional rules of conduct:
(1) The proper statutory and City Charter
role of a mayor and city commissioner, as
with any elected member of a legislative
body, is to act collectively, not individu-
ally, to set and/or revise and/or to apply
the city's governing policies and that the
city manager and staff administer such
policies.
(2) The mayor and city commissioners,
individually, do not manage the affairs of
the city. The mayor and city commission-
ers will not intrude into daily operations
or spheres of responsibility designated
by state statutes, City Code, and City
Charter to the city manager as the chief
executive officer; or undermine the city
manager's lawful authority. The city
manager is responsible for administering
the policy direction established by a major-
ity vote of the city commission and not
the policy wishes of the mayor or city
commissioners not acting as a governing
body by majority vote.
(3) The mayor and city commissioners
represent the interests of the entire city
when making decisions and will rely
upon available facts and their respective
independent judgment. In their official
capacity as an elected representative of
the city, the mayor and city commission-
ers will avoid conflicts of interest and
avoid using their official position for
personal, professional, or partisan gain.
(4) The mayor and city commissioners will
demonstrate dignity, respect, and courtesy
toward those whom they are in contact
with in their official capacity as either
the mayor or city commissioner. The
mayor and city commissioners will refrain
from intimidation and ridicule of others
including, but not limited to, the mayor,
fellow commissioners, city manager, city
attorney, staff, citizens of the city, and
city utility customers.
(5) The mayor and city commissioners, in
their official capacity as an elected
representative of the city, will refrain
from inappropriate language including
statements that are malicious, threaten-
ing, slanderous, disparaging, mean -
spirited, vulgar or abusive. All
disagreements, concerns or criticisms shall
be framed in language that is in keeping
with the dignity and professionalism of
an elected official and the honor of serv-
ing as an elected representative of the
city.
(6) The mayor and city commissioners will
focus on solving problems, and in doing
so will maintain appropriate decorum
and professional demeanor in the conduct
of city business and work cooperatively
and conscientiously with others as they
respectively request or receive informa-
tion, examine data or weigh alternatives
in the decision -making process.
(7) The mayor and city commissioners will
demonstrate patience and refrain from
demanding, interruptive access to staff
or immediate responses or services when
requesting information that requires
significant staff time in research, prepara-
tion or analysis or that will result in staff
neglect of urgent duties. Such requests
will be made through the city manager
for scheduling and prioritizing through
consensus of the city commission. The
mayor and city commissioners will work
cooperatively with the city manager to
establish reasonable parameters for such
requests and access.
(8) The mayor and city commissioners will
devote adequate time for preparation
prior to city commission meetings and as
much as possible, the mayor and each
member of the city commission will be in

sioners, city manager, city attorney, staff,
citizens of Winter Springs, and city util-
ity customers. They will listen actively
and objectively to others' concerns or
constructive criticisms.
(10) The mayor and city commissioners will
refrain from any individual action that
could compromise lawfully authorized
decisions of the city or the integrity of
the city and the mayor and fellow com-
missioners. The mayor and city commis-
sioners will delineate clearly for any
audience whether they are acting or
speaking as an individual citizen or in
their respective capacity as a representa-
tive of the city.
(lI) The mayor and city commissioners will
maintain in confidence any privileged or
confidential information provided to them
by the city and will not disclose such
information publicly or to any person
who has not been duly authorized by the
city to receive such information, unless
such disclosure is duly authorized by the
city commission or city manager or
required by law. In addition, the mayor
and city commission will refrain from
copying any written privileged or
confidential documents provided to them
by the city and will keep such documents
in safekeeping. Further, upon leaving
office or upon request by the city commis-
sion or city manager, the mayor and city
commissioners will return to the city any
privileged or confidential documents or
materials provided to them by the city
while serving on the city commission.
For purposes of this paragraph, privileged

the city manager or city attorney with
any questions on whether certain informa-
tion falls within the scope of this
paragraph.

preserved. Upon written request, the city arborist,
on a case by case basis, may allow material or
temporary soil deposits to be stored within the
protective barrier if no other storage is available.
(b) Climbing spurs. It shall be unlawful to use
climbing spurs or other similar device to aid in
the climbing of a live tree, where such device
causes the puncture or tears the bark of the tree.
(c) Tree spiking. It shall be unlawful to
introAuce any type of poison or reactive material
to a tree for the purpose of causing it to die or
become diseased.
(d) Structure and pavement location. It shall
be unlawful to place any structure or impervious
paving within eight -foot radius of any tree trunk
or stem having a DBH of four (4) inches or more
at caliper.
(e) City trees. It shall be unlawful to trim,
prune, or remove any city tree without the
permission of the city evidenced by the appropri-
ate permit.
(f) Attachments. It shall be unlawful to attach
anything to a tree or stem, including nails or
spikes, having a DBH of four (4) inches or more,
other than protective wires, braces or other
similar noninjurious materials.
(g) Cut and fill guidelines. It shall be unlaw-
ful to remove or add any material or ground
within the tree protection zone unless otherwise
permitted by the arborist.
(h) Encroachment of the dripline. During the

canopy leaving most live foliage at the
edge of the canopy.
(2) Topping, hatraeking, stag heading, de -
horning, lopping, and rounding over: the
improper practice of reducing tree size by
making heading cuts through a stem
more than two (2) years old; a pruning
practice that destroys tree architecture
and serves to initiate discoloration and
perhaps decay in the cut stem.
(3) Pollarding: The pruning technique that
removes sprouts back to the same loca-
tion annually or biannually maintaining
a tree to a specific height.
(4) Shearing: A pruning technique which is
typically accomplished with cuts made
through wood less than a year old at the
sides of the canopy to create uniform
dense canopies.
(5) Poodle trimming: Combines shearing and
removing lower limbs to create tree forms
that look like a "lollipop."
(j) Construction near adjacent property. Walls,
structures, and pavement shall not be constructed
in any way which will result in damage to roots
within the tree protection zones of trees located
on adjacent properties.
(k) Destruction. It shall be unlawful to destroy
a tree unless authorized under this chapter.

ARTICLE IX. PROPER USE OF
FERTILIZERS
Sec. 19-310. Findings.
As a result of impairment to the city surface
waters caused by excessive nutrients, or, as a
result of increasing levels of nitrogen in the
surface and ground water within the aquifers
and springs within the boundaries of the city, the
city commission hereby determines that the use
of fertilizers on lands within the city creates a
risk of contributing to adverse effects on surface
and ground water. Accordingly, the city commis-
sion hereby finds that management measures
contained in the most recent edition of the
Florida -Friendly Best Management Practices for
Protection of Water Resources by the Green
Industries are required.

ments;
(4) Establishes a prohibited application

true secondary and cumulative environmental
effects associated with the misuse of fertilizers.
These secondary and cumulative effects have
been observed in and on natural and constructed
stormwater conveyances, rivers, creeks, canals,
springs, lakes, and other water bodies. Col-
lectively, these water bodies are an asset critical
to the environmental, recreational, cultural, and
economic well-being of city residents and the
health of the public in general. Overgrowth of
algae and vegetation hinder the effectiveness of
flood attenuation provided by natural and
constructed stormwater conveyances. Regula-
tion of nutrients, including both nitrogen and
phosphorus contained in fertilizer, will help
improve and maintain water and habitat quality.

(Ord. No. 2012-06, § 2, 3-12-12; Ord, No. 2014-09, § 2, 4-2844; Ord. No. 2016-07, § % 44146; Ord. No.

Sec. 20m324. General provisions.
The following general provisions apply to all street types.
(1) Corner radii and clear zones. Corner curb radii shall be between nine (9) feet and fifteen (15)
feet, with the following permitted exceptions: 1) where a curb radius must be larger in order to
meet the minimum requirements to obtain a required permit from another agency (FDOT,
Seminole County, etc.); and 2) where the fire marshal has determined that a larger curb radius
must be provided. Fairly tight turning radii shorten pedestrian crossings and inhibit reckless
drivers from turning corners at high speeds. To allow for emergency vehicles (e.g., fire trucks)
to turn corners, a twenty -five-foot radius clear zone shall be established free of all vertical
obstructions including but not limited to telephone poles, sign poles, fire hydrants, electrical
boxes, or newspaper boxes.
