| | MODERATE, OR POOR FOR RELOCATION. PROVIDE AN ARBORISTS |
| | REPORT RATING THE CONDITION AND RELOCATION POTENTIAL |
| | FOR THE NATIVE TREES AND PALMS. THERE ARE LIVE OAKS, |
| | SABAL PALMS, FLORIDA THATCH PALMS, AND ROYAL PALMS THAT |
| | ARE INDICATED TO BE REMOVED. NON NATIVE TREES AND PALMS |
| | ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE RELOCATED. |

| | IDENTIFIED AS TO THE TYPE, AND ALL REQUIREMENTS NEED TO |
