Exhibit 5 Roots growing into the pool lines at 8158 Quail Meadow Trace As a result of the damage caused by these Live Oak trees, the Quail Meadow Homeowners Association began discussions with the City in the summer of 2011 to replace many of the trees causing the damage. The HOA had also conducted a community-wide survey of residents in June 2010 regarding the removal of the Oak trees and replacement with Foxtail palm trees and the overwhelming majority of residents (46 of 54 respondents or 85%) supported the modification (ATTACHMENT III). Pursuant to Section 94-442 (c) of the City of West Palm Beach Zoning Code, “palm trees may be substituted for not more than 35 percent of the shade or flowering trees required by this article…However, when palm trees are substituted for shade trees, two palm trees shall be provided for each required shade tree. This 2:1 substitution shall not be required for Royal Palm Trees and suckering palm trees such as the Areca Palm, Paurotis Palm and the Senegal Date Palm.” As stated in an October 3, 2011from the City to the HOA, “if a total of 68 oak trees are currently located within the subdivision, then a maximum of 24 trees may be replaced with palm trees as reflected below: 68 Oaks x 35% = 24 Oaks could be replaced by palms (@ 2 for 1 or 48 palms) 6 – PB 1087TTT
The resultant mix of trees should then be as follows: 44 Oaks to remain 48 Palms to replace the permitted 24 oaks to be switched for palms 92 TOTAL TREES The HOA subsequently revised their plans and provided additional plantings in some of their common areas resulting in a total of 112 trees being planted – an increase of 65% in trees (see Exhibit 6 below).
