I
Project Narrative:
The City of Miami Beach is a barrier island on the southeast coast of Florida whose geographic location and
low -lying topography makes it extremely vulnerable to flooding from storms and rising sea levels. To reduce our
vulnerability, in 2014 our community embarked in an aggressive sea level rise adaptation program. This program
involves substantial reconstruction of our neighborhoods to upgrade aging infrastructure, install pumped drainage,
raise roads, elevate seawalls, and other improvements that redefine the urban and natural landscape.
Need: Miami Beach is densely urbanized so there is very limited space to add trees. Furthermore, the average life
of a tree in Miami Beach has been estimated at 8 years due to the challenges of its urban environment. The city
wants to develop an Urban Forestry Master Plan to ensure our vision that trees are a key feature of all our
neighborhoods and the right tree is planted in the right place today, while considering the future adaptation efforts
and changes in the urban landscape. Plan will be used by Homeowners, landscape providers, neighborhood
associations, urban planners, engineers and property owners.
Project Outcome: The project outcome will be an Urban Forestry Master Plan to guarantee the city's vision that
trees become a key feature of all our neighborhoods and the right tree is planted in the right place today, while
considering the future adaptation efforts and changes in the urban landscape.
Environmental Value: The plan will also provide a roadmap for managing, maintaining, and expanding the urban
forest so our community can achieve a more diverse and mature tree canopy over time on both public and private
property. The first -ever Miami Beach Urban Forestry Master Plan will be a living document that aligns with other city
plans, including the City's Transportation Plan, Resiliency Plan and Capital Improvement Plan, to deliver complete
streets. It will outline and provide solutions for short -term challenges (i.e., above and below ground utility conflicts)
and long -term challenges (Le., salt intrusion) to the urban forest. It will also define the tree species diversity
street -by- street, creating cohesive neighborhoods with the right tree in the right place with the data collected during
our citywide tree inventory. It will result in improved air quality, urban forests that save energy, reduced storm water
runoff and provision of a natural pollution filter.
Plan of Action: The City of Miami Beach is requesting $25,000 to retain a consulting firm that will develop the Miami
Beach Urban Forestry Master Plan by the end of FY2018. As per previously obtain grants through UCF, we have
acquired grant funds for the completion of phase 3 of our tree inventory in 2014 and funds for tree pruning in 2010.
The city's Urban Forester and ISA Certified Arborist will oversee work on this grant as in the past; working directly
with the selected consulting firm to QA/QC the deliverable items provided by the consultant and ensure that the
project goals set forth by the city are met. The city's Urban Forester will also engage the city's different departments
(Planning, Building, Public Works, Capital Improvements, Transportation, Environment and Sustainability), as well
as community stakeholders such as the Greenspace Tree Advocacy Group in the development of the plan.
(Continued on following page)
Project Publicity: Throughout plan development, the city will conduct substantial public education and
outreach. Communications will include press releases, community events, as well as features on our
print, social and TV channels as a means of raising awareness of the plan and of gaining public feedback
for incorporation into the document.
Timeline and Implementation Schedule:
• Grant award Oct 31, 2017
• RFP for development of the Urban Forestry Master Plan and appointment of consultant of
winning bid by November 31, 2017
• 30% draft of Master Plan to be submitted by February 1, 2018
• 60% draft of Master Plan to be submitted by May 1, 2018
• 90% draft of Master Plan to be Submitted by July 1, 2018
• 100% Submittal by August 1, 2018
• Urban Forestry Masterplan to be adopted by the Mayor and City Commission on September
2018.
Collaboration Details: City departments that have projects or issue approvals associated with the urban
forest (Planning, Building, Public Works, Capital Improvements, Transportation, Environment and
Sustainability) will meet regularly to discuss the goals, needs, and overlapping city plans that should be
included in the Master Plan. They will also review the Master Plan in draft form to provide comments at
key milestones. Similarly, the city will engage community stakeholders such as the Greenspace Tree
Advocacy Group, Neighborhood Associations, elected officials in the development of the plan by
soliciting comments in a public forum.
Location of Project /Area to be Served: The Urban Forestry Master Plan will serve the entire city of
Miami Beach and stretches from Government Cut in the south, to 87th Terrace in the north. The city is
7.1 square miles.
Relation to Other Project(s): The Urban Forestry Masterplan will provide a roadmap for protecting and
adding trees as part of the city's capital improvement and sea level rise adaptation programs. It will
complement an existing City Landscape Ordinance, the City's Tree Protection Ordinance, the City's
Comprehensive Plan, Resiliency Plan and Transportation Plan.
Previous UCF grants: The city has received the following UCF grants previously: 1) GIS Stormwater
Project - $29,274 in 2016 — this is a recent award and the project is currently underway; 2) Tree
Inventory $15,000 in 2014 — project was completed successfully; 3) Alton Road Trees - $18,000 in 2010 -
project was completed successfully; 4) Water Truck $15,000 in 2009 - project was completed
successfully.
Tree City Certification: The city just celebrated its 11th year anniversary for the Tree City USA
Designation and will use this designation to further leverage the reach and impact of the master plan.
Once completed, the plan will be presented to the City Commission for adoption, after which it will
guide tree work conducted by the community and the city's various departments toward achieving a
sustainable and resilient urban forest.
