Wellington Council Meeting April 10, 2012 Page 304 of 384 CONSERVATION ELEMENT appropriately use and protect its soil and mineral resources and its native vegetative communities. This shall continue to be accomplished through enforcement of existing protection measures incorporated into the Land Development Regulations. Said protective measures shall continue to be implemented through the excavation, paving and drainage, building, and vegetation removal permit processes. Said protection measures shall include but not be limited to those described in the implementing policies contained in this Element. Policy 1.3.1 Natural functions of existing soils shall be preserved through adherence to code provisions addressing soil conservation techniques such as requiring canal and lake banks to be properly sloped and immediately stabilized, and requiring recently cleared and graded land to be seeded or sodded within thirty days of clearing work. Such provisions shall continue to be implemented through the existing excavation and vegetation removal permit processes. Policy 1.3.2 Wellington shall continue to implement land development code requirements addressing protection of native vegetative communities, to the greatest extent feasible, including requirements for removal of invasive, exotic vegetation where appropriate and allowing for mitigation credits where possible. These protection measures shall continue to be administered through the Development Review Committee and vegetation removal permit processes. Policy 1.3.3 Wellington shall continue to maintain its “Tree City USA” designation which shall continue to have as its primary goal the preservation of Wellington’s native vegetation and pine flatwood tree canopy. Policy 1.3.4 Wellington has adopted a tree preservation ordinance which shall have as its primary goal the preservation of existing vegetation to the greatest extent possible, and to require mitigation where preservation is not possible. Policy 1.3.5 Land development proposals shall be reviewed with respect to potential adverse impacts to natural reservations or native upland vegetation and shall be denied or appropriately revised as necessary to preclude such adverse impacts prior to development permit issuance. These protection measures shall continue to be administered through the Development Review Committee and vegetation removal permit processes. These measures shall continue to include but not be limited to requiring the establishment of preserve areas for a portion of native upland vegetation, preserving and incorporating specimen trees and general tree protection into site design, requiring vegetation inventories, providing habitat and corridors for wildlife, and buffering incompatible types of development. Policy 1.3.6 Wellington shall continue to have regularly scheduled meetings of the official “tree board” whose mission shall be to develop and Wellington Comprehensive Plan – Conservation Element Update 2011 CON - 5
Wellington Council Meeting April 10, 2012 Page 305 of 384 CONSERVATION ELEMENT administer a comprehensive community tree management program for the care of trees on public property and for developing and citing minimum standards for tree protection and maintenance on a community-wide basis. Policy 1.3.7 Wellington shall continue to enforce its vegetation protection standards incorporated in its Land Development Regulations (LDR). These standards shall continue to establish an administrative review and permitting process to prohibit the unnecessary removal or destruction of existing native upland vegetation and require the eradication of certain invasive non-native plant species. Specifically the LDR shall continue to limit the removal of vegetation from a site until the approval of a bona fide site development plan. It shall also continue to require the establishment of preserve areas for a portion of native upland vegetation; require preserving and incorporating specimen trees into the site design; and prohibit the clear cutting or total removal of native vegetation from a site. Wellington’s LDR state that no less than 50% of the required trees and shrubs for non-residential uses shall be classified as “native.” Wellington’s LDR’s require residential development to contain a minimum of 50% of plant species be selected from Wellington’s “Preferred Species List” which consists of native, drought tolerant species or non-invasive species that are not destructive to native species. Policy 1.3.8 Wellington shall support the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s (FDEP) Ecosystem Management initiative for protecting and sustaining Florida’s natural resources. Specific attention will be paid to protecting the ongoing ecosystem management programs of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. This will be accomplished through requiring specific impact analyses as part of the development review process for lands that abut or could potentially impact the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. Policy 1.3.9 Wellington shall support the Century Commission for a Sustainable South Florida to protect the Everglades ecosystem. This will be accomplished by accommodating future development in the existing developed areas; discouraging new development near the fringes of the Everglades system; transforming urban sprawl into quality development patterns; and reducing the reliance on water from the Everglades. Policy 1.3.10 By December 31, 2010, Wellington shall evaluate its Landscape Code to determine the feasibility of an increase of minimum of native species of trees, palms and all plant material for new residential and nonresidential development. Objective 1.4 Wellington shall continue to conserve and protect its wildlife, fresh water and fisheries habitats through enforcement of existing regulations and through adoption of protection measures within the Land Development Regulations within one year of the effective date of this plan.
