Background:

The applicants are seeking to designate Orange Avenue, from First Coast Highway to its end, as a canopy road pursuant to Sec 37.08 LDC.

An ISA-certified arborist (Genesis-Halff) was hired by Nassau County to perform a tree inventory which includes species identification, DBH (diameter breast height), common name, protected status, form, health status and appropriate remarks.

Two (2) community meetings were held (May 23 and June 17, 2019) with parcel owners whose property abuts Orange Avenue. These residents would like to extend the Canopy Road designation area to include 20 feet on either side of the platted 29.7 foot ROW for a total width of 69.7 feet.

At the Planning & Zoning Board meeting held July 2, the property owners for parcels #00-00-30-0780-0013-0020 on the north side of Orange Avenue (Sandpiper Mobile Home Park) and parcel # 00-00-30-0780-0003-0000 on the south side of Orange Avenue (to be constructed as The Enclave at Summer Beach Phase II), as shown in Exhibit “B” of the ordinance, requested that the protection area for these parcels be ten (10) feet outside the right-of-way.
