§ 825-130. Payment in lieu of replacement/relocation.

In those instances in which a tree removal license is required, any trees which are removed and not relocated shall be replaced in accordance with the requirements of this article. As a condition of being granted permission to remove any trees, the developer, property owner or other applicant shall be required to replace such trees, unless it is demonstrated that replacement is not a viable alternative due to a lack of available space. Where replacement cannot be accomplished the applicant shall pay a replacement fee in lieu of actual tree replacement costs into the City of Dania Beach Tree Preservation Trust Fund. The cost of replacement trees shall be based upon the current edition of the Plant Finder catalog for the type of tree(s) required to replace the trees that were removed and multiplied by two and seven-tenths (2.7).
