Encourage planting on private property in the form of setback plantings, which contribute to the streetscape. • Develop a cost -share program whereby a resident can select and purchase trees and have the County or a designated private contractor buy, plant, and stake the trees for the resident on the public right-of-way. As a part of this program, the resident would agree to assume the maintenance responsibility for the trees. • Improve the street tree inventory by planting trees that are wind tolerant species in the public right-of-way and protect existing inventory by proper maintenance trimming. By improving the survivability of street trees during wind storms, the public investment is protected but also will reduce road debris and hasten power restoration after a storm event. • Provide a list of recommended street trees (See Appendix A) to give guidance to citizens and governmental agencies regarding which tree species survive better in harsh conditions for street trees, especially in swale areas. 'Median trees may offer more flexibility of species depending on the size of the planting area. 46 1 '10 VA:1„1000!.; AN NO "4.if" Submitted into the pubic record ern(s) on 47 Submitted into the p r record for item(s) on City Clerk 48 Submitted into the pub1 record or i em(s) on Respectfully request a change in policy to allow coconut palms in safe locations.
