CITY OF TAMARACMIASTER LANDSCAPE PLAN
PROJECT DESCRIPTIQN
URBAN AND COMMUNITY FORESTRY GRANT APPLICATION
Since Tamarac's incorporation in 1963, we have lost much of its aesthetic vitality like
so many older Florida communities.. This is a direct result of shifting demographics;
from owners to renters; land use changes (from residential to commercial); and
declining income levels. The end result is less discretionary income for beautification
throughout the City.
Recently, city officials, and residents, have joined efforts to improve the 'aesthetic
beauty and visual appearance of Tamarac. On July 10, 1991 Tamarac established the
first Urban Forestry Committee consisting of city staff and residents. The Committee
was established to review, study, investigate and develop plans and programs for the
care, preservation, pruning, planting, replanting, removal of trees and shrubs in
parks, public rights -of -way and other public areas. The Committee was instrumental
in the City's award of Tree City USA designation and Arbor Day activities. The City of
Tamarac has received grant awards from the Florida Highway Beautification Program,
the Broward County Tree Trust Fund and private sponsors. The need for a
comprehensive master landscape plan on public properties is clearly apparent as
Tamarac applies for beautification grants and the increased public demand to improve
the aesthetic quality of their city.
A Master Landscape Plan will incorporate our local tree inventory and the development
of model median, model swale and model entryway designs program. This project will
help promote the need for proper future placement of individual trees, understory trees
and plantings and schedule removal of the hazardous trees. A grant award to prepare this
master landscape plan will help the City develop establishing a program to follow and
incorporate into our Master Plan. This project will help us strive to improve the
appearance of trees in public spaces, and emphasize a new and improved aesthetic quality
that will positively impact our tax base.
The Master Landscape Plan (for public rights -of -ways) will be an important component
of an overall forestry program which includes the following:
1. Preparation of model median, model swale and model entryway designs;
2. Incorporate the identification of tree type, number of trees, ground cover and
non -living materials;
3. Schedule the removal of hazardous trees (identified for removal or relocation);
4. Preparation of a model maintenance plan which will address the maintenance
program by tree type and location on public rights -of -way;
5. Identify and schedule a tree planting program.
These components will ensure a successful urban forestry program supported jointly by
Public and private initiatives.

Tamarac reserves mon,Ck,,,
for beautification project
By J. N'DEYE WALTON
Staff Writer
TAMARAC -- The city soon
may be getting shrubbery, trees
and welcome signs on its main
streets.
At a workshop meeting last
week, the City Council said it
plans to spend at least $200,000 in
its upcoming 1993-1994 budget on
beautification. The following
projcts are included:
it Medians on University
Drive, from Southgate to Com-
mercial boulevards, will get trees
and shrubbery.
■ Tamarac Sports Complex at
9901 NW 77th St. will get a make-
over that includes shrubbery.
■ Nine welcome signs, sur-
rounded by shrubbery, will be
added on main streets.
About $22,500 will be spent on
University Drive and $36,000 in
the Sports Complex, council
member Joe Schreiber said. The
amount for the welcome signs has
not been estimated because the
council is appraising the wel-
come signs' design.
"The projects are important
because it's an image for the
city," Schreiber said. "If people
are traveling and coming to the
city, it should look nice. A pretty
city attracts more than just peo-
ple, it attracts businesses. Money
has to be spent to spruce up the
place."
Schreiber predicts that it
should only take a few months to
complete the projects once they
are started, but the work cannot
begin until the council officially
votes on them.

native tree species by requiring
that all such species with at least a
two-inch trunk diameter at 54
inches above the ground receive a
permit for removal. Native species
include: oak, pine, staple, magno-
lia, cedar, cypress, sweet gum,
cabbage palm and royal palm.
Tree removal permits cost be-
tween $10 and $27. The money
that is collected is earmarked for
replanting projects. The Planning
Department issues approximately
500 tree removal permits Each
year.

dents to donate funds for the pur-
chase and planting of trees in rec-
ognition or memory of loved ones.
The cost of the tree depends on
the type selected. There is no
charge for planting the tree. The
trees are planted in city parks,
along median strips and on other
city -owned property at the discre-
tion of the donor. The Communitv
Development Department reviews
available tree species and costs
annually and makes recommenda-
tions accordingly for a particular
year's program. All trees pur-
chased must be six feet or taller so
they are mature enough for sur-
vival. The Tree Program allows
residents to further beautify the
city and, at the same time, honor
their families!
