Chuck Cramer, 10729 US 1, Sebastian, responding to Commissioner Solari, felt that <br />could be achieved by combining all the upland sand sources. He said that if he could make the <br />identical material to the native beach, it would not fit in a template that was designed for the <br />offshore borrow pits. He encouraged the Board to move this forward. <br />Mr. Brantley discussed the details and specifics of a composite grain size material that is <br />courser than the upland source and of good quality material. He felt the upland source material <br />is beach compatible and used within the County with much success. He said the differences are <br />slight and by using the design tools, the final product is significant. <br />Commissioner Solari wanted to know how long it would take to develop a redesign so a <br />permit package, for close to 472,000 cubic yards of sand, could be presented, while still making <br />it cost effective. <br />Mr. Cramer believed it could happen quickly since the Consultant has the material <br />readily available. <br />Administrator Baird explained how modeling was accomplished, acknowledged the time <br />constraint involved with putting sand on the beach, and clarified that staff was bringing this <br />forward today to relay the results and seek resolution. <br />Mr. Walther suggested the Board consider submitting the application as it currently <br />stands, consistent with the design approach; then after Ranger and their suppliers find a better <br />way to improve the quality of sand, amend the application to reflect the use of that sand. <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the amendments to permitting, possibly increasing <br />the volume of sand, redesigning the template, and beach fill. <br />30 <br />October 13, 2009 <br />
