Mangrove height varied from four (4) feet in the area <br />adjacent to the pool to six (6) feet along the dock access <br />structure. The average height of the mangroves throughout the <br />shoreline was 5± feet. Staff observed that the tips of all <br />branches had been cut across the top of the mangrove trees, giving <br />the trees a flat, hedged appearance. <br />A county mangrove alteration permit (MA 89-016) was issued to <br />Jimmy's Tree Service a number of years ago (on March 28, 1989) for <br />mangrove alteration on the subject property.

The 1989 permit allowed the trimming of <br />mangroves in accordance with county trimming criteria (Section'23 <br />48 <br />
