and are naturally found in coastal dune habitats. Please note that the recommended species do not preclude other native salt tolerant species from being proposed or allowed to grow within the dune. For instance, sea purslane (Halimoine portlacoides) may seed itself in a functional dune despite being unavailable from nurseries. For privately maintained dunes, a planting plan should be submitted for review/approval by City staff and FDEP under the Coastal Construction Control Line permitting program. The City's beaches and dune systems currently contain coconut palms, a Category II invasive species. They should be permitted to remain in the existing dunes. If a Coconut Palm is diseased or damaged or otherwise removed, it should be replaced with native palm such as a Sabal Palm or similar. All other Category I and II invasive plant species, as classified by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, are not permitted within the dune system and should be removed. Plant Palette City of Sunny Isles Beach Plant Palette Irrigation Irrigation should be included only for those areas where new vegetation is proposed. Existing, established dunes should not be irrigated. If they have existing irrigation systems, it is recommended that they be removed. Irrigation should be provided until new vegetation is established, which is typically 60-90 days. Irrigation frequency is recommended daily for the first 2 weeks, every other day for the following 2 months, then weekly until established. Irrigation can be provided by the following two methods: • Temporary Irrigation System: An on -grade temporary irrigation system may be proposed for large areas of dune planting. As noted, a temporary irrigation system is located on grade, typically of a low-cost PVC pipe system, which can be removed once vegetation growth is established; or • Manual Irrigation: For discrete areas of planting, manual irrigation utilizing a water truck is recommended.
