,JAN 2 8 <br />BOOK 70 PACE 674 <br />The liability exposure of tree planting along roadways within the clear <br />zone or roadside recovery area is receiving much public interest throughout <br />Florida. Staff is planning on attending a seminar on this issue in Feb. <br />1988. "Soft" vegetation is preferred. <br />RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends approval of the requests based upon the following: <br />1) Existing trees in Indian River Blvd. right-of-way have been <br />established for the past seven years with no problems. <br />2) The speed limit of the road is 45 MPH. <br />3) If the trees become non -yielding, they may be removed in the future. <br />Commissioner Eggert assumed that Vero Beach was paying for <br />this, and Urban Forester Bill DeBraal advised that the trees were <br />all donated and will be planted and maintained by the City. He <br />noted that there is no irrigation in there now, but the City <br />hopes to continue their irrigation system down the Boulevard in <br />the future, possibly using effluent from the treatment plant. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0 <br />Commissioner Bowman being temporarily delayed) <br />approved staff's recommendation as set out in the <br />above memo. <br />1.
