c) TRP Appeal 2026-0028 2025 Howard Dr., Winter Park, FL 32789

Code Compliance Board Regular Meeting · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

This notice concerns a Tree Removal Permit Denial Appeal for the property at 2025 Howard Drive in Winter Park. The appeal is currently under review by the Code Compliance Board. The property owners are seeking to remove a large Live Oak tree, citing concerns about potential damage to their home and a patio slab, as well as interference with future construction. The city's Urban Forestry Division denied the permit, stating the tree is healthy and does not meet the criteria for removal under the city's tree preservation ordinance. The appeal process involves presenting expert opinions on the tree's health, risk, and potential for mitigation. This situation could lead to work related to tree assessment, potential pruning, or site preparation if the appeal is successful and a permit is granted. Local contractors, landscape architects, arborists, and suppliers involved in tree care, removal, and site development may find opportunities as this case progresses through the review process. Engaging early could provide insight into the final decision and potential project needs.
