Comprehensive Plan Coastal Management Element <br />i. The number of slips at the boat facility is not increased (i.e., expansion); <br />ii. The number of boats that can moor at the boat facility is not increased; <br />iii: The size of the rearranged slips or mooring area is not increased; <br />iv. The resulting footprint of the structure is not increased; and <br />v. The rearrangement will result in the removal or cessation of any non - <br />water dependent structure or activity associated with the existing boat <br />facility, as applicable. <br />In every case, the rearrangement shall result in a net benefit to manatee and <br />manatee habitat protection <br />3. The siting of new or the expansion, rearrangement, or slip conversion, of <br />existing boating facilities shall be prohibited when one or more of the following <br />conditions are met: <br />a. The footprint of the boating facility (including all docks, access walkways, <br />finger piers, mooring areas, turning basins, and ingress and egress pathways) <br />has submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) coverage of ten (10) percent or <br />greater using a scientifically acceptable method of coverage determination <br />and such determination is made between the months of May through October; <br />b. The water depth within mooring areas, turning basins, and ingress and egress <br />pathways is less than -4 feet at MLW unless the following criterion is met <br />• One -foot clearance at MLW between the lowest portion of the vessel <br />(with the engine in the down position) and submerged aquatic vegetative <br />resources (or submerged bottom, in areas devoid of vegetative resources) <br />within the mooring areas, turning basins, and ingress and egress <br />pathways. <br />c. There is less than a 150' distance between the waterward most projection of <br />the boat facility (including mooringpilings and boats) and the ICW channel. <br />4. The siting of new or the expansion, rearrangement, or slip conversion, of <br />existing boating facilities shall be evaluated using all the following criteria: <br />a. No more than 100 linear feet of native shoreline vegetation shall be altered <br />(trimmed, cut, removed, killed, or destroyed); <br />b. A site located within a High Manatee Use area, or a High Watercraft -related <br />Manatee Mortality area, as defined in the MPP, shall be subject to site-specific <br />Indian River County Coastal Management Element Page 103 <br />Supplement # Ordiance #2005-_ Adopted 2005 Exhibit B Page 1% <br />
