WHEREAS, the City of Miami (“City”) Resilience and Public Works Department requested removal of a tree located in the right of way adjacent to 501 Northeast 55 Terrace, Miami, Florida, as the tree poses a life safety risk to pedestrians, vehicles, and property due to advanced decay and canopy imbalance from severe structural compromise from historic utility line clearance, improper scaffold removal and root system disturbance; and

WHEREAS, the subject tree is not a viable candidate for relocation due to the compounded structural defects; and
